Each subscriber, sooner or later, may encounter the fact that the Megafon mobile network is unavailable. There are many reasons for this. All cases must be considered separately. In this article, we will find out why this error occurs and tell you how to solve such a problem. After reading this material, you will know how to deal with this trouble and why it happens.
Technical difficulties
First, let’s give a definition and figure out what “Subscriber is temporarily unavailable” means on Megafon. This voice message appears when a random user makes an outgoing call. It signals that you will not be able to contact your interlocutor at the moment.
Most often, the problem does not depend on people - let’s look at the main parameters of the problem:
- Being outside the coverage area. The operator has installed a huge number of towers, but in some places they simply do not exist - remote and small settlements, suburban areas;
- Weak base station signal. Sometimes the user may be far from the tower; often the signal is interrupted by bad weather conditions, landscape features and buildings. This problem often occurs in the subway;
- The interlocutor has entered airplane mode, which means he is on board the aircraft;
- Carrying out technical or preventive maintenance by the operator - sometimes problems can arise due to equipment failure.
What to do if a Megafon subscriber is unavailable, what does this mean? Try to wait a while - most often the connection is restored after a certain period.
Incorrect settings
. The device is always aimed at more advanced networks - the SIM card will try to select a 4G network, even if it works worse than 3G. As a result, a message indicating that the network status is unavailable may appear.
To eliminate this misunderstanding, I recommend going into the device settings and assigning a specific type of network connection.
Often, errors associated with detecting the Megafon network occur when roaming abroad. Mobile operators abroad, as a rule, are in no hurry to register a SIM card automatically. Here again, manually setting up the network will come to the rescue.
Simply incorrect mobile network settings may prevent the subscriber from using the smartphone.
In such cases, it is not uncommon for messages to appear on the device screen indicating that the selected or specified mobile network is unavailable. The best way to get rid of this error is to configure the device in the desired section so that the network is selected automatically.
:
- In order to make sure that the mobile phone is working properly, you need to install a different SIM card in it.
- Conversely, to check the normal functioning of the SIM card, you can place it in the slot of another mobile device.
Due to the variety of possible causes for communication problems, it can be very difficult for ordinary users to localize them. If serious difficulties arise, contacting the company’s specialists by calling 0500 will always help solve the problem.
Other reasons
Have you heard the voice message “The number you dialed is not available” again? This means that we should not forget about the following possible reasons that cannot be avoided by any subscriber:
- The interlocutor forgot to top up his account;
- The subscriber turned off the phone for personal reasons or due to low battery;
- The Megafon SIM card has broken down - due to expiration date or due to mechanical impact.
You cannot influence such reasons - you just have to wait a little until the functionality of the Megafon number is restored.
What to do
If you are trying to call a particular interlocutor, but you hear a notification that the number is unavailable, just try to call him later /b> - that’s the whole solution to the problem. And in order to save yourself from repeated attempts to dial, send him an SMS asking him to call back. As soon as the SMS is delivered (some phones notify you with a sound), you will see it and can call again. In other cases, you will have to wait until the phone of the called subscriber is registered in the MegaFon network.
Now everyone is accustomed to the fact that you can contact a person with a mobile phone at any moment. However, there are situations when communication with the subscriber is lost. Although this service is one of the earliest and appeared at the early stage of mobile communications, not everyone knows about it. Therefore, it is worth knowing what to do when the number is unavailable to MegaFon?
It is worth knowing that there may be several reasons why a subscriber is unavailable. Most often this occurs because the phone is turned off, or if it is out of network coverage. If sometimes a connection appears, then you just need to call the subscriber back later.
Tips and tricks
Even if Megafon’s number is inaccessible, you can take a set of necessary measures! You will definitely be able to contact the right user, just do the following:
- Write an SMS message or send a message in instant messenger. In any case, the subscriber will see the notification after turning on the smartphone;
- Wait a few minutes - the failure may disappear on its own if the problem lies in technical problems;
- Be sure to inform the person about the problems - perhaps he does not know that the number has been left without communication.

Still, what does it mean: “The subscriber is temporarily unavailable”?
Errors may creep into the designated route. The radio channel between your device and the base station is the most vulnerable point. An indirect indicator of communication quality is the level of reception on your phone. When it is small, the likelihood of error increases. Why and where does it fall?
The signal strength decreases due to obstacles between you and the base station and your distance from it. In some places, the signal may disappear altogether: in elevators, basements, on the first floors, in the depths of large buildings that have metal fittings and thick walls. Drives between metro stations and road tunnels are also not the best places for mobile communications. A failure can also occur from the re-reflection of electromagnetic waves from various radio equipment, base stations and telephones in dense buildings. In this case, operators increase the number of transmitters and use an increased number of transmitters. However, problems with communication are possible. Therefore, when you hear “The subscriber is temporarily unavailable, call back later,” follow the advice - call back later.
