Mobile company Megafon has canceled roaming throughout Russia. Now you don’t need to think about the cost of a call when you are outside your region, you just need to have a positive account balance.

According to Megafon's new rules, the region of your stay becomes your home region, and now all services that were valid in your home region will be valid in your host region. For example, if your package of minutes was spent only on numbers in your home region, then when traveling around Russia you can call numbers in the region in which you are at home.

For example. You have the Turn On tariff! Write, you came from Moscow to Samara. Your tariff now moves with you. Calls to Samara numbers are now considered local. A call to Moscow is now considered long-distance. All incoming calls from local numbers (from Samara numbers) are free. But incoming calls from other regions (even Moscow) are 5 rubles/min.

While in national or international roaming, calls and SMS messages of cellular subscribers are paid at different rates. To reduce costs, operators are developing special services that are connected separately. When traveling in your home country or abroad, be sure to take advantage of this opportunity so as not to pay more.
And if you don’t plan to use cellular services while traveling, turn off roaming. We'll tell you how to do this on Megafon.

We set a ban on communication and Internet in roaming

When a Megafon subscriber finds himself outside his home region, he is registered automatically. It doesn’t matter which border you crossed. Both when traveling within the Russian Federation and around the world, roaming is turned on - national or international. As soon as a subscriber is registered outside the home network, any of his calls or messages are charged under roaming conditions.

If you are traveling in one of 152 countries, roaming will be activated automatically. If your country is not on the list, the “Extended International Roaming” option must be activated by you in advance. This is the case if you plan to stay in touch with loved ones while traveling. If you do not want to spend money, roaming must first be disabled. If you do not do this, it will be automatically activated as soon as you cross the border of your home region or the Russian Federation.
Think carefully before deactivating roaming. Maybe you should leave a connection just in case and give up the Internet during the trip, or vice versa? If you turn off roaming, your SIM card will be blocked temporarily. Whatever decision you make, the operator provides various options.

We set a ban on calls and SMS in roaming

If you still decide to refuse roaming on Megafon while traveling in Russia or abroad, turn it off by selecting one of the options.

To disable roaming, use the following methods:

If you previously activated the Preferential Roaming service, disable it by sending a USSD request *105*9100# (call). For the service “20% discount on international roaming” there is a different command: 105*7200# (call).

Disabling the Internet while roaming

Subscribers who actively use the Internet when traveling around the country or abroad sign up for special services to save on costs. If you also plan to use it, connecting the “Internet in Russia” or “Internet abroad” options is mandatory. If the Internet is not needed, disconnect by selecting one of the operator’s options.

To turn off the Internet, use:

1. USSD command *105*747*0# (call).
2. An option that prohibits GPRS roaming on the SIM card. To activate it, enter the USSD command *105*746# (call).
3. SMS message without text to number 000105746 .
4. Authorization in your Personal Account.
5. Call the customer support center by number 0500 .
6. The nearest Megafon office.

These are the options for disabling roaming on Megafon.

Roaming services are a convenient and practical way to use your Megafon number anywhere in the world without the need to purchase a SIM card from one of the local operators. Therefore, you need to know how to activate roaming on Megafon.

In the article:

It is important to consider here that roaming is characterized by higher prices, which significantly increase the size of the mobile budget in comparison with the usual tariffs in your home region. At the same time, the operator has provided a number of options that allow you to optimize costs and significantly reduce the cost of voice communication, messaging and Internet traffic consumption.

Internet assistant Tarif-online.ru will describe in detail the provider’s useful options that make Megafon’s international roaming truly high-quality and profitable. We will describe the mechanism for connecting and deactivating them so that you can promptly reduce the cost of calls, SMS and Internet access, depending on your location.

Features of providing Megafon roaming services abroad

Of course, the possibility of using Megafon roaming services abroad is directly related to the sufficient amount of funds in the subscriber’s personal account and the presence of contractual agreements with foreign mobile operators with your provider. The most convenient way to obtain such information is through the “Roaming” section on the official Megafon website.
Make sure that the main service option is activated on your phone. You can find out this important functional point in various ways:

• check the list of active options in ;
• use the functionality of the Megafon mobile application;
• contact the provider's help desk by calling 0500;
• Consult the manager of the Megafon office closest to you.

Only after the balance has been replenished, the connection to the subscriber's service number has been verified, and there are operators in the destination country that cooperate with Megafon - you can safely go abroad without fear of being left without communication.

Having arrived at your destination, you must turn on the device to register it in the local provider’s network. The successful completion of this procedure will be indicated by a new branded icon (operator name), which will take its place on the phone screen.

Important! Automatic registration of a SIM card in a guest network may not be successful. In such a situation, you must manually configure the registration in the corresponding phone menu item.

At the moment, automatic registration of a Megafon SIM card in roaming with further online pricing of cellular services is valid in more than 150 countries near and far abroad. For those countries that are not included in this list, you will need to activate the “Extended International Roaming” service. This option is connected completely free of charge, provides for billing not online, but with a significant time delay and becomes indispensable, for example, when traveling to the PRC, many countries in South America, and Greenland.

Conditions and possibilities of international roaming communications

International roaming services from Megafon provide the subscriber with the usual list of mobile services:

• incoming outgoing voice communication;
• receiving and sending messages (SMS, MMS);
• Internet traffic, including high-speed Internet 3G/4G/

Thanks to universal international mobile communication standards, the subscriber does not need to make additional adjustments or configure the phone in any special way.

But let's be honest, using the Internet while roaming is quite unprofitable. If there is an urgent need to access the global network, it is best to take advantage of the free Wi-Fi distribution in a hotel or cafe, although we should not forget the possibility of reducing the initial cost of mobile Internet in roaming.

While on a trip abroad, a Megafon subscriber is not left for a second without operator support. At any time, he can contact the help desk for consultations or practical support from a specialist. The main thing here is to give up trying to call the usual number 0500, and use a special toll-free number +7 926 111 0500 to communicate abroad with the operator.

Prices for Megafon mobile services in international roaming differ depending on the user’s country of residence. All the nuances of tariffs can be found in the “Roaming” section we have already indicated on the provider’s resource. Here we will give just a few examples so that you can evaluate the current price level for roaming communications in countries popular for holidays and travel:

A country	Cost of incoming (outgoing) calls to the Russian Federation and calls within the local network	Cost of outgoing calls to other countries	Cost of outgoing SMS message	Internet traffic cost
Egypt	79 rub./minute	129 rub./minute	RUB 19.99	350 rub. for a daily package of 50 MB and 7.00 rub. for each MB over the limit (no more than 10 MB)
Türkiye	49 rub./minute	129 rub./minute	RUB 19.99
Abkhazia	33 rubles/minute	129 rub./minute	13.00 rub.	260 rub. for a daily package of 65 MB and 4.00 rubles. for each MB over the limit (no more than 10 MB)

Please note that roaming rates for Egypt are valid for most countries in Europe and the USA. At the same time, there are more expensive countries. For example, when traveling to Canada you will have to pay 129 rubles. per minute of any conversations, both within the local cellular network and when communicating with subscribers from Russia or any other state.

Important! If the call forwarding option is active on the phone, this will result in double billing of calls as they will be identified by the network as both incoming and outgoing voice services.

Connecting (disconnecting) the international roaming service Megafon

Let us remind you once again that roaming connections abroad from the Megafon operator do not require payment and can be implemented independently through the online self-service service LC or its analogue for small devices - the Megafon mobile application Personal Account. This utility allows you to manage cellular services directly from the screen and is installed on devices running Android, Windows phone, iOS.

If the subscriber does not have the opportunity to use the online self-service service to activate roaming services, you can ask a help desk specialist about this or contact one of the Megafon branded salons for help.

The same algorithm is used to disable the service. It is important to take into account the nuance that upon returning from abroad, the phone automatically undergoes re-registration in its native network, thereby activating the tariff plan chosen by the subscriber for the home region. Taking into account the fact that the roaming service does not deduct any subscription fee from the telephone balance, it may not be worth disabling it, so as not to forget to re-activate it the next time you travel abroad. But still, if you want to set a ban on roaming services, use the instructions from our article

How to reduce the cost of Internet abroad

You have already seen that standard roaming Internet traffic is not only very expensive, but also very limited in volume. Therefore, you should try to use free Wi-Fi or switch additional provider options that will improve the conditions for access to the global network.

"Internet Abroad"

This option is enabled using a USSD request * 136 # and allows you to additionally receive daily Internet traffic packages of 10 MB or 30 MB. Another way to activate the service is to send a service SMS with the text 10 MB or 30 MB to number 0500993.

Deactivating the “Internet abroad” option is carried out in a similar way. By sending a USSD request from your phone * 136 * 0 # or SMS messages with the word STOP to the same number 0500993.

Megabytes received as part of this service have the following prices.

Important! The “Internet Abroad” option has a rational mechanism for charging a daily subscription fee, debiting funds from the personal account only on the day of actual use of Internet traffic. If a subscriber has not accessed the global network for 24 hours, the balance will remain untouched.

"Vacation-online"

This service is not valid in all countries, but can be very useful when traveling to Belarus, Greece, the Czech Republic, Spain, the Baltic States, France, Egypt, Armenia, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates.

Let's take a closer look at the terms of provision of the Vacation Online service from Megafon.

You can activate the service in 10-15 minutes in your Personal Account or using a USSD request * 501 # . Disabling the option is implemented via USSD request * 501 * 0 # . An alternative way to activate (deactivate) is an SMS of any content sent to the service number 0500960.

"Unlimited Italy"

A fairly useful option for Megafon subscribers who are planning to visit Italy and do not want to limit themselves in receiving information via the Internet. This service is suitable for owners of all tariff plans for individuals and offers unlimited volume of downloaded traffic for a daily subscription fee of 500 rubles. Free connection and deactivation of the option is implemented via USSD request * 105 * 1144 # . In addition, to activate, you can send an SMS message of any content to the number 05001144. To disable the “Unlimited Italy” service, an SMS with the word Stop is sent to the same number.

Reduced cost of calls in roaming

When staying abroad, accessible voice communication for free communication with loved ones and colleagues is of great importance.

"The whole world"

This service does not require a connection fee, but requires a daily subscription fee of 59 rubles. For this money, the user receives 40 minutes of unpaid incoming calls. If during the day the established limit has been exhausted, each subsequent minute will be paid according to roaming tariffs in the host country.

Connecting the “Whole World” option from Megafon is implemented by sending SMS and short commands:

• connection - SMS with any content to the number 0500978 or USSD request * 131 * 1 # ;
• shutdown - sending a message with the text Stop to the number 0500978 or USSD request service phone or * 131 * 0 # .

Note! The “Whole World” options, like other functionally similar options for roaming, can be paid using a bank card and the services “Promised payment”, “Pay for me”, “Pay when convenient”.

Option "Around the World"

You can significantly reduce communication costs in roaming with the “Around the World” service, which allows the subscriber to pay 9 rubles. per day, reduce the tariff for incoming and outgoing calls to 13-19 rubles. per minute, and SMS up to 11-14 r. (prices vary by country of stay and call).

The connection cost is only 15 rubles. and implemented via USSD command * 105 * 708 # or sending an SMS of any content to the number 000105708. The same number is involved in deactivating the option using an SMS message with the text Stop. Another way to disable the Around the World service is a USSD request * 105 * 708 * 0 # .

Optimizing the cost of SMS messages abroad

Communication via SMS messages is a fairly common practice of receiving and transmitting important information by a subscriber when he is abroad. This is also facilitated by the possibility of significantly reducing the cost of SMS thanks to several Megafon options.

"50 SMS Europe" or "100 SMS Europe"

These options are useful when traveling around Europe and allow you to get 50 or 100 SMS messages at your disposal for 30 days at a fixed price of 195 rubles. and 295 rub. respectively. To connect and check the balance of SMS message packages, the following SMS and USSD commands are used.

After 30 days from the moment of connection, the option is deactivated automatically.

“50 SMS World” or “100 SMS World”

These prepaid message packages will allow you to exchange information as economically as possible, located in any corner of the planet where international roaming from Megafon operates. The cost of the “50 SMS World” package is 495 rubles. For the “100 SMS World” package you will have to pay 695 rubles.

The following commands are used to manage options.
