Buying a MegaFon starter package requires certain steps to be taken to register a new number in the provider's network. Most often, a freshly baked subscriber does not even think about how to activate a SIM card, since these worries are taken over by a sales assistant.

But there are situations when there is no urgent need to use the number, and for the time being, the purchased card is on the shelf. In order to get full access to mobile services, you need to know how the self-activation of the Megafon SIM card is performed or how to use the professional assistance of the operator for these purposes.

The provider offers to activate the Megafon SIM card in several ways and from various devices.

How to register a new SIM card in the Megafon network on a phone, tablet, modem

Megafon is one of the “big three” operators and has a huge army of users who actively use phones, tablets and USB modems for their work. Therefore, it is advisable to consider ways to activate a new number on these devices, especially given the significant similarity of procedures. Moreover, it is enough to activate the SIM card on the phone and then place it into the wireless module to avoid going through a separate procedure for registering the card.

The SIM card software provides for automatic registration of the number in the network after the first call or Internet connection (for a modem).

If this does not happen, you must use one of the activation options below.

Activation of the Megafon card on the phone

Most often, Megafon SIM cards are activated on the phone. Therefore, first of all, we will consider how to register a new number for this type of mobile devices.

Before you choose a suitable option for activating a SIM on your phone, keep in mind that the waiting period for network registration of a number can take up to 3 days. This is an exceptional case, usually activation occurs almost immediately after the conclusion of a contract with the provider.

So, you can activate the new Megafon SIM card on your phone in the following ways.

Sending a USSD request

It is convenient to activate the Megafon card on your own using a short USSD request * 121 * PUK code new sim card * activated subscriber number# .

Users often have difficulty specifying their personal unlock key (PAC code). This unique identifier of the SIM card is indicated both on the surface of the plastic carrier to which the card was originally attached, and in the accompanying documents. Here you can also find digital combination phone number.

Here it is important to know that it is absolutely unimportant from which phone Megafon the USSD command is sent, the main thing is that the request contains the PUK code and the number of the new SIM card.

Registration in the environment of the service guide

Megafon's personal account is a special online self-service service that allows the subscriber without outside help change number settings, replenish balance, control expenses, transfer money between phones, etc.

To authorize a personal client page, you need to go to the official Megafon website and go through a simple registration.

It is important to know here that since user registration in the service guide is carried out by phone number, this implies automatic activation of the SIM card after filling out the registration form and sending a request for a password.

Calling the customer support center

Subscribers can always solve a lot of functional and organizational issues with the help of round-the-clock support of the Megafon contact center. To do this, it is enough to call toll free number 88003330550 and voice the existing problem. This option of activating a new number will require the subscriber to provide passport data to confirm the rights to the SIM card.

Visit to the Megafon office

The indisputable advantage of contacting the Megafon corporate communication salon is the prompt solution of problems of any kind. Office employees are always ready to come to the rescue of their clients and provide comprehensive assistance in activating a SIM card. It is important not to forget to take your passport with you, which will confirm the fact of registration of the number in your name. Otherwise, the provider's specialist has the right to refuse this kind of service.

Activating sim Megaphone on a tablet

You can use any of the above methods to register the card on the network using your tablet computer.

An exception is the activation of the Megafon card on some Internet tablets manufactured by Apple (iPad).

To activate a SIM card on iPad you need:

• install SIM card in iPad;
• turn on the tablet;
• connect the device to a computer with Internet access;
• register in the iTunes app.

As a result of these simple actions, the SIM card will be activated and ready for full use.

Activating SIM card Megafon on a USB modem

The mobile operator Megafon has implemented a separate algorithm for activating the card directly on the USB modem. To do this, you need to connect the wireless module to the PC, track the installation software and, after waiting for the end of the installation, open the lk.megafon.ru page in your browser (login form to your Personal Account).

In the form that opens, you need to enter a new subscriber number and PUK-code of the SIM-card, which is indicated on the packaging and in the documentation. After passing the registration procedure, the number begins to be perceived by the system as activated.

We have already mentioned that for the SIM card that will be used on the modem, you can use pre-activation using the phone.

Restoring a blocked number

In addition to registering a new number, Megafon users may need to activate a blocked card at any time. SIM card blocking can be carried out voluntarily or by the operator.

Recall that a three-time incorrect PIN-code entry will result in SIM card blocking.

To restore its functionality, you will need to enter the PUK code. In turn, an incorrect multiple input of the PAK (10 times) entails an irrevocable loss of the number.

Since a SIM card can be blocked for various reasons, to restore it you may need:

• balance replenishment (in case of debt);
• call to the call-center to the number 88003330550 ;
• functional application Personal account or his mobile version "Megaphone. Personal Area";
• visiting a company salon.

The high demand for wireless Wi-Fi modems has led to various problems with the Internet connection. Today it will be examined setting up the Megafon modemas it is one of the most popular operators. The manufacturer's assortment includes standard 3G modems, and LTE (4G) variants are becoming more and more popular. Note that connecting to the network via Megaphone, regardless of the device, should not cause difficulties, it is enough to have minimal computer skills and follow the instructions.

How to connect a Megafon modem to a laptop?

Connecting the Megafon modem to a laptop has a very standard form, almost identical to a stationary PC. The first step is to start the laptop and leave it until the system is fully loaded. When the devices are prepared, you can proceed to the installation:

1. Connect laptop and modem via USB;
2. The laptop should show an appropriate notification about the driver installation. Then the program for using the Internet from Megafon will automatically start. You need to wait until both actions are completed, usually all this happens within 1 minute;
3. Go to Start - Control Panel - System;
4. Next, select "Device Manager" and determine if the modem was installed correctly. If there are failures, an exclamation mark will be shown next to the device name;
5. It is necessary to launch the Megafon Internet program and wait for the synchronization and network configuration to occur. The result of the actions is indicated by the indicator on the modem, as well as the corresponding icon in the application;

1. This completes the installation procedure, you can go to the network.

Connecting to a tablet

In the case of a tablet, the question of how to configure the Megafon modem has a more complex solution, but it is quite possible to accomplish this if the device has the necessary support.

The easiest connection option when there is built-in support for modems. Then it is enough to use an OTG cable and connect both devices. After the identification procedure, you must manually specify the access point (the location of the settings is different, but usually in the "Network" section). After the steps described, you can use the network.

Doesn't see the Megafon modem on the tablet, what should I do?

If the Megaphone modem does not connect, you will have to use additional applications... It's over difficult option, which is complicated by the fact that the tablet does not support a modem, but there is a way out in the situation. It is necessary to manually specify the type of behavior with the device, because initially it will recognize it as a regular data storage device, so the network connection will not be available. For correct operation, you must specify the "modem only" mode. To complete the procedure, you will need third party program 3GSW. Thus, we synchronize the modem and set the mentioned mode in the application.

This trick does not always work, if nothing came of it, you can use another Hyper Terminal utility. The principle of manipulating it is as follows:

1. Download the program;
2. Install on PC and wait for device identification;

1. In the device manager, you need to find the modem and select its properties. You need to pay attention to the port code and its bandwidth;
2. Run the application and specify the data just received in it;
3. Then enter the code "ate1", and then "at ^ u2diag \u003d 0", both actions must end with the answer Ok;

1. Disconnect the modem from the PC and insert it into the tablet.

In a normal situation, after configuration, you only have to enter an access point, but since there is no such section here, you will have to use another PPP Widget utility. It is necessary to specify the data for authorization, the number for dialing the network and APN. Only now can you enter the network.

It is important to note that PPP Widget requires root access on the device. The process of obtaining differs depending on the model, you will most likely be able to find a suitable one.

How to check Megafon modem on PC?

Megafon perceives a computer modem in the same way as a laptop and there is no significant difference in the installation process. It is only worth noting here that everything does not always go smoothly and the drivers are installed the first time. If, after completing the procedure described in the first paragraph, there is still no Internet, and the "Device Manager" contains incorrectly installed components, you will have to manipulate it.

The easiest way is to remove the device through the right button, restart the PC, having previously disconnected the modem and reconnected it.

If this did not work, you should remove the broken device from the manager and go to the manufacturer's website, where the official drivers are located, and you need to install them. You will probably need to flash the modem, but this is usually not necessary.

Unlocking the Megafon modem means removing the restrictions on the use of SIM-cards only from the original operator. After the procedure, other cards can be inserted into the device and they will work.

To remove this restriction, you must enter a special key. It can be obtained using programs and services, only you need to rewrite the IMEI code on the back of the modem. One of the unlock options is the Inspire Your Device program, which can be obtained at https://www.inspire-device.com/ru-RU/unlock.aspx.

Now the use of the Megafon modem should be a pleasure due to its high speed and ease of use, because the difficulties with connection are a thing of the past.

If you want to have constant access to the Internet, but cannot use a wireless or high-speed connection, it will be useful for you to learn how to connect a Megafon modem.

Using a proprietary utility

After the installation process is complete, a connection icon will appear on the desktop. At the same time, the program will automatically start to establish an Internet connection.

Before you make the first connection, check your personal account balance. Open the "Balance" section on the "Service" tab; if you have not replenished your personal account, you will see that you have 0.00 rubles at your disposal.

Remember: the bonus traffic that the operator promises when buying a kit for accessing the Internet is activated only after the account is replenished. Therefore, to start using the Internet for free, you need to put at least 10 rubles on your balance.

If the seller in the communication store has not activated your SIM card, you will have to perform this operation yourself. When you first go online, you will be automatically redirected to the registration page, where you will be prompted to enter your passport and SIM card information.

Windows standard tools

You can connect the Internet to Megafon without using a proprietary utility. If you do not want to install additional software on your computer, use the built-in Windows tools to create a modem connection from Megafon.

Megaphone, realizing this, released its devices for accessing the World Wide Web. The only problem that can arise is the settings. In this article, we will talk about it.

It would seem that setting up a modem is an easy and quick process. But many users have problems. First, we will briefly consider the ways of how to set up the Internet Megafon on a computer:

• Using special program from Megaphone.
• Standard Windows applications.

The first method is easier, but not for everyone. This happens because some users choose not to install unnecessary software. Also, if you use a regular SIM-card (some laptops support this function), and not a modem, then using the second method is necessary.

We use the standard program from Megafon

So, if you have chosen this connection method, then let's get started:

• Select the USB port to connect the device. He must be working and free. If the conditions are met, connect.

• We are waiting for a little time, autorun works.
• Install the bundled software. This process is automated, we are waiting for the end of the installation.
• We are looking for a program shortcut on the desktop. We launch it. If it does not work, then enable it in the "Run as administrator" mode.
• We are waiting for the end of the network search.
• We are looking for the "connect" button. Click on it.

After that, your Internet should be up and running.

If you want, you can use them without the Megafon app. It is enough to go to "Network Management and general access»And find the connection you need there.

We configure the modem using standard Windows tools

As already mentioned, the program from Megafon does not suit everyone. Fortunately, you can do without it. Let's consider this method in detail:

• Connect the modem to a free USB port. No software to install - we won't be using it.
• Go to the computer control panel (use the "start" menu). Next, go to the "Network and Sharing Management" tab. We are looking for a line that allows you to create a new connection, and click on it.
• We select the option "Internet connection". The connection type will be asked, we need to select "Dial-up connection".
• Now you are prompted to specify the connection settings. We register the call number - * 99 #. You can fill in the name along with the password, but it does not make sense (Megafon omits this data and does not require it).
• The connection has been created. Let's go to its properties. Unchecks the box next to Prompt for name. If necessary, we do automatic connection to the network when the computer starts up.
• Go to the "Security" tab. We put a tick next to the type of check "SNAP".
• We save what we have configured.

The connection has been created. Now, to use the Internet, you need to call context menu connect (using the right mouse button) and click "Connect".

Remember to always check the amount of traffic spent.

• With the help of special programs (for example, "Driver pack solution"). Downloading full version (this will have to be done from another computer if you do not have the Internet) to update the drivers. Install, click the "scan" button. The software updates quickly and then restart your computer.
• Manual update. We start the device manager, and then we look for the item "Network adapters". We see the device, right-click, go to the "Properties" tab, then - "Information". Copy the first line of values \u200b\u200band paste it into any search engine. Download the driver, and then return to the device manager. We call the context menu of the network adapter and click "Update driver", specify the link to the downloaded file ("Search for drivers on this computer").
