How to send a beacon from a megaphone to a child's phone

Probably, any subscriber found himself in a situation where he needed to make an urgent call, and the money in his account ran out. Of course, if there is a terminal for replenishment nearby, or the user has the opportunity to put money on the card online, this problem is solved quite easily. But what if there is no such possibility? For such a situation, the mobile operator has a special service "Beacon". In the article you will find a detailed description of the service, and you can also get acquainted with the detailed algorithm of how to send a Beacon from Megafon.

How to send "Beacon" on Megaphone?

The opportunity to send a message can be used by any user of the telesystem, regardless of the TP, and the place of registration of the SIM card.

To send a free message, you just need to dial a special USSD command on your mobile device and press the green button. Immediately after sending the USSD, the other subscriber will receive a message asking for dialing. Further, the client himself decides whether to call him back to the addressee or not.

So, to throw off the "homeless", dial the following numeric code on your mobile phone: * 144 * interlocutor's phone# , and press the Call key. For example, * 144 * 789675439076 # . The number can be written both in ten-digit and in international format, through 7 or 8.

Like all operator functions, the "Call Me Back" service on Megafon has its own rules of use and limitations:

• per day (24 hours) you can send a beacon on Megafon no more than 10 times. Also, the volume of available notifications will vary depending on the locality where the user's card is registered. The daily quota of "beggars" for your region can be clarified by calling 0500;
• the service does not require special activation and is initially present on all Megafon Sim-cards. In other words, to send a message asking you to call back, you just need to dial a certain numeric code on your mobile phone;
• option is not charged. That is, you can throw off the “beacon” from Megafon to another subscriber completely free of charge;
• according to the rules of the telesystem, “beggars” cannot come to a mobile phone without the consent of the subscriber. If desired, the client can block the receipt of beacons on his phone at any time.

As mentioned above, any client of the operator can send a "beacon" on Megafon, regardless of his tariff plan and region of residence. In addition, the Beacon service is provided on the same terms both in the native network and in long-distance roaming.

Customers do not need to understand the question of how to install the Beacon service on the phone, since the service was initially connected and installed on all Megafon TPs.

In using the option, there is also nothing complicated. All that is required from the subscriber is to dial a certain combination of numbers on a mobile phone, and they will send a request. The team is provided free of charge.

Note! In addition to the described service, the operator's customers can call with a zero balance using the "Replenish me" option. Information on how to reset the request for replenishment can be found on the provider's website.

If you sent from endless messages with requests, you can put a limit on the flow of "beggars". You can block the Beacon service on Megafon as follows:

Dial USSD code * 130 * subscriber number # on your mobile phone, and press the call key. After that, the user will not be able to send you free messages.

In addition, to block another subscriber, you can use the emergency option. After adding the interlocutor to the black list, his messages, SMS, as well as voice calls, will be automatically rejected.
