The mobile operator Megafon allows its subscribers to make money transfers not only within the network, but also to the accounts of other operators, including Tele 2. All methods work around the clock, and do not always even require an Internet connection. If a person has accumulated a fairly large amount of money on his operator’s balance and he wants to transfer it to her, then it is important to know how to transfer money from Megafon to Tele 2 without paying a large commission for the work of third-party resources.
From the Megafon website
Megafon, like other mobile operators in the country, recently launched a special service that made it possible to collect all monetary options and services in one place. This platform gives network subscribers the opportunity to manage their number to repay loans, pay for goods and services, online shopping and much more.
To transfer a specific amount to a Tele2 subscriber through the Megafon Money website, you must:
- on the main page, select the “Transfer money” category;
- then click on “From phone to another phone”;
- on the next page fill out the form and confirm the operation by clicking “Transfer”.
Transferring money through a mobile application or personal account
Money can also be transferred using the Megafon application or Megafon personal account. There is practically no difference in these methods, since the services have the same functionality, so let’s look at translation using the example of a mobile application.
Instructions:
- Go to the Megafon mobile application.
- Select the menu item “Transfer money”, and then – “To phone account”.
- Enter the recipient's phone number, transfer amount and click "Send".
- In the new window, double-check the recipient's number and review the transfer amount, including the commission. If everything suits you, click “Transfer”.
- After a few seconds, you will receive a message from number 333, in which you will be shown the transfer amount, the transfer amount taking into account the commission and will be asked to enter a code (usually one digit, for example, 4) to confirm the transfer.
- Confirm the transfer by sending an SMS with the code in response to number 333.
As you can see, this method is similar to the first. It's simple - it's one.
Its conditions and restrictions, respectively, are the same:
- Commission for transfer from Megafon to Tele2 is 8.5%.
- The minimum amount of one transfer is 1 ruble.
- The maximum amount of one transfer is 15,000 rubles.
- The maximum amount of transfers per month is 40,000 rubles.
Using USSD request
The fastest way to transfer is a special command that will allow you to transfer a certain amount to any specified operator number in the country. To do this, you need to use the combination: *133*transfer amount*subscriber number#.
The amount of funds that need to be transferred is always indicated without periods or commas, only in full numbers in rubles, that is, without kopecks. The number must be entered together with the operator code.
At the moment, without commission, you can only send money to an MTS subscriber; in other cases, you will have to pay a commission fee, which within the network is 6%.
How to transfer money from Megafon to Tele2 via SMS?
also available via SMS.
Instructions:
- Write an SMS to the subscriber to whom you want to send money with the text “#transfer amount (space) comment.” For example, “#1000 Thank you for last night.”
The conditions in this case are slightly different:
- The commission for a transfer from Megafon to Tele2 is 5%, but the minimum is 10 rubles.
- The minimum amount of one transfer is 1 ruble.
- The maximum amount of one transfer is 15,000 rubles.
- The maximum amount of transfers per month is 40,000 rubles.
For transferring large amounts, this method is more profitable than the first one, since the commission is lower. But if you need to transfer a small amount, then it is worth considering that the commission is at least 10 rubles, which may not be very profitable.
Restrictions
The service operates in Russia. Only individuals or holders of corporate SIM cards with a connected SIM card can use the transfer. In other cases, the transfer request will be rejected.
Restrictions are also imposed on the size of transfers. Thus, in one transaction you can transfer from 1 ruble to 15 thousand rubles, taking into account the commission, that is, the maximum “net” transfer cannot be more than 13,820 rubles. You can send up to 40 thousand rubles per month.
Previously, Megafon did not approve a transfer if, taking into account all debits, the account remained less than 30 rubles - the minimum allowable minimum balance. In 2021, there are no such restrictions - the main thing is that the balance does not go into the negative, and the transferred funds are yours, and not received through the promised payment. You also cannot send money that has been deposited into your account for the first time when connecting to the operator’s network.
SMS transfers
You can top up your account quickly and easily using SMS. The good thing about this method is that it does not require additional conditions, such as an Internet connection. You can make a transfer from any phone; both a smartphone and a regular phone with buttons will do. SMS messages are sent free of charge and do not require installation of any applications.
To make a transfer, you need to send a short MS message to the phone number of the person you want to top up:
#transfer amount
For example, when transferring 450 rubles to a friend. the message will look like this:
#450
If desired, you can add a small message after the amount, separated by a space. For example, “Stay in touch.” In this case, the message will look like this:
#450 Stay in touch
If you use an iPhone, you will have to disable iMessage before sending a money transfer due to the closed nature of the protocol. This is done in the Settings -> Messages section. After the transfer has been completed, the settings can be returned to their previous state.
If you put a question mark after the amount in your message: #450? and send a message to a Tele2 subscriber, this message option indicates a request to top up your account. If the subscriber confirms this possibility, money will be debited from his account to top up your account.
The minimum payment amount can be 1 rub., the maximum – 15,000 rub. The total amount of payments per day and per month cannot exceed 40,000 rubles.
If you have any questions about this service, you can call the Megafon Subscriber Service at 0500. Calls can be made from a mobile phone.
If the phone number is incorrect, how can I get my money back?

How to set a ban on transfers
