Connecting international roaming Megafon abroad

Megafon provides an opportunity to use mobile services in many foreign countries. However, there are some nuances:

  • The main roaming service must be activated. It allows you to use the networks of other operators to send SMS, make calls and access the Internet.

  • "International roaming" does not require preliminary connection when visiting 152 countries of the world, since the service is activated automatically upon arrival in any country from this list. To clarify whether certain states are included in this list or not, it is most convenient to visit the page http://moscow.megafon.ru/roaming/world/... In the column "Find out the cost of services in roaming" when entering the name of the country, the cost of services on its territory will be indicated. If it is not included in this list, or does not provide communication services at all, then a corresponding warning will immediately appear on the page.

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. Thanks to the partnership agreements of the domestic provider with a huge number of foreign telecommunication companies, each subscriber can count on the automatic registration of his phone in the guest network with the provision of the required range of mobile services.

It is important to take into account that international roaming is characterized by higher rates, which significantly increase the size of the mobile budget in comparison with the usual rates 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.

Features of the provision of Megafon roaming services abroad

Of course, the possibility of using Megafon roaming services abroad is directly related to the sufficient amount of funds on the subscriber's personal account and the presence of contractual agreements with foreign mobile operators with your provider. It is most convenient to get such information through the "Roaming" section on the official Megafon website.
Make sure your phone has basic roaming enabled. You can find out this important functional point in different ways:

  • check the list of active options in;
  • use the functionality of the Megafon mobile application;
  • contact the provider's helpdesk by phone 0500 ;
  • consult the manager of the nearest Megafon office.

Only after the balance is replenished, the connection to the subscriber number of the roaming service is checked, and in the country of destination there are operators who cooperate with Megafon - you can safely go abroad without fear of being left without connection.

Arriving at the destination, it is imperative to turn on the device to register it with the local provider's network. Successful completion of this procedure will be evidenced by a new brand badge (operator's name), which will take its place on the phone screen.

Important! Automatic registration of a SIM card in the guest network can be unsuccessful. In such a situation, it is necessary to manually configure the registration in the corresponding menu item of the phone.

At the moment, automatic registration of a Megafon SIM card in roaming with further online tariffication of cellular services operates in more than 150 countries of the 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 irreplaceable, for example, when traveling to China, many countries of South America, Greenland.

Conditions and possibilities of international roaming communication

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 /

Due to the universal international standards of mobile communication, the subscriber does not need to make additional adjustments and somehow customize the phone in a special way.

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

While on a trip abroad, a Megafon subscriber does not for a second remain without operator support. At any time, he can contact the help desk for advice or getting practical support from a specialist. The main thing here is to abandon attempts to dial the usual 0500 number, and use a special free number for roaming communication with the operator. +7 926 111 0500 .

The prices for Megafon mobile services in international roaming differ depending on the user's country of residence. All the nuances of tariffication can be found in the section "Roaming" already indicated by us on the provider's resource. Here we will give just a few examples so that you can estimate the current level of prices for roaming communications in the countries popular for travel and leisure:

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

Please note that roaming rates for Egypt are valid for more countries in Europe and the United States. At the same time, there are also more expensive countries. For example, when traveling to Canada, you will have to pay 129r. within a 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, since they will be identified by the network as both incoming and outgoing voice services.

Activation (deactivation) of Megafon international roaming service

Let us remind you once again that connecting roaming abroad from the Megafon operator does not require payment and can be implemented independently through the online self-service Personal Account 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. You can download the application.

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 or contact one of the Megafon branded salons for help.

The same algorithm is used to disable roaming. It is important to take into account the nuance here that upon returning from abroad, the phone is automatically re-registered 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 phone balance, it is possible that you should not deactivate it, so as not to forget to reactivate the next time you go abroad.

How to reduce the cost of Internet roaming abroad

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

"Internet abroad"

This option is connected by 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 it to the number 0500993 service SMS with text 10Mb or 30Mb.

Deactivation of the "Internet abroad" option is carried out in a similar way. Sending a USSD request from the phone * 136 * 0 # or SMS-messages with the word STOP to the same number 0500993 .

Megabytes received within the framework of this service have the following rates.

"Vacation-online"

Free connection and disconnection of the option is realized through a USSD request * 105 * 1144 # ... In addition, for activation, you can send an SMS-message of any content to the number 05001144 ... To deactivate the "Unlimited Italy" service, an SMS with the word Stop will be sent to the same number.

Reducing the cost of roaming calls

Accessible voice communication for free communication with relatives and colleagues is of great importance when staying abroad.

"The whole world"

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

Connection of the "Whole World" option from Megafon is implemented through sending SMS and short commands:

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

Note! The "Worldwide" options, as well as other functionally similar roaming services, can be paid using a bank card and the "Promised payment", "Pay for me", "Pay when convenient" services.
