Standard cellular tariffs have not been the only source of income for operators for a long time, since they also earn on the provision of additional services. Often, these side services are turned on without the user noticing: either he activates them inadvertently, or he forgets to turn them off after the trial period expires. In this article, we analyze how to check the paid services of MegaFon and disable them. The first three methods are suitable for independently disabling additional payments, and the fourth is the simplest, but the longest.
1 way. Through the dialer
This method works without the Internet, it will allow you to not only check, but also disable MegaFon subscriptions – you need to enter a special USSD request. You should open the standard phone dialer, enter the code *505# and press the handset button (“Call”). A list of working paid services and instructions on how to disable them will appear on the screen.
You can check information about the current tariff with the command *583#.
Here is a list of commands to disable MegaFon’s standard paid services:
- answering machine, voice mail — *105*1300#
- always in touch — *105*2500#
- incoming SMS – *105*1900#
- live balance — *105*2900#
- “Change the beep” – * 770 * 12 #
- barring international calls – *105*2700#
- outgoing SMS – *105*2000#
- promised payment – *105*2800#
- showing your own number – *105*1100#
- detailed invoice – *105*1200#
- black list – *105*7500#
2 way. Sending an SMS message
To disable services, you can send an SMS with the text “Stop” to number 5051. In response, MegaFon will send a message with a list of paid options that are connected to your number, and instructions on how to disable them.
Another way to disable a paid subscription via SMS is to send “Stop” to the number from which you received a notification about the activation of the subscription. As a rule, these messages come from numbers of 4-6 digits.
3 way. Through the MegaFon website
Open the MegaFon website and go to the “Personal Account”. In it, select the “Services and options” menu – a list of active subscriptions will appear, next to which there will be a disconnect button.
There is also an alternative option – go straight to the MegaFon services page, log in to your account and click on “Unsubscribe” next to the desired option.
4 way. Support call
This is the easiest, longest method – a MegaFon employee will turn off all optional payments for you, but you will have to wait until he connects to you. To contact technical support, call the number 0500 or 88005000500.
