What does an ordinary person need a secretary for? At least so that he can receive phone calls when we are unable to answer the phone. Such a secretary is Voicemail from MegaFon. In fact, this is a real answering machine, with which we can always stay in touch and not lose important information from other subscribers.
Voicemail works in automatic mode and turns on when our phone is out of range of the network or is in the off state. At this time, all callers will be able to leave us a voice message. We will talk about this in more detail.
Description of the "Voice mail" service
- The phone is turned off;
- The phone is out of range of the cellular network;
- The number is busy.
As soon as one of the conditions is met, there will be an automatic forwarding to the MegaFon Voicemail. By default, the type of forwarding by code 62 is set - this is no answer when you are out of the network (or the phone is turned off). If necessary, we can activate other conditions.:
- Unconditional call forwarding (code 21) - all incoming calls will be forwarded to voicemail (while the phone can remain switched on);
- No answer (code 61) - if we do not pick up the phone within 30 seconds, then all calls will be forwarded to Voicemail;
- Busy (code 67) - if the number is busy, it will be forwarded to Voicemail.
What happens when our number receives an incoming call? If one of the conditions is triggered, the call will be automatically forwarded to the Voicemail number. After listening to the greeting, the caller will be able to leave a voice message.
What's next? Further, our number will receive an SMS notification that there are unread messages in the voice box. If necessary, all messages can be delivered to another number by making an automatic call or via MMS, to an e-mail address, to your number via MMS (in this case, all other types of notifications are disabled).
We can also listen to MegaFon's Voicemail via the Internet by visiting the service website http://megafon.ru/ - here additional parameters of the voice mailbox are configured, a greeting is configured. Also, an oral signature is recorded on the site, which replaces the number of the calling subscriber.

However, there are no hopeless situations, and in this problem the Megafon company offers a solution - to connect the Autoresponder service. This service works like a standard answering machine. It provides for the recording of voice messages, as well as their playback and management.

I have nothing more to say today! Until next time!
You don’t know this, but you can spend family money on voicemail even if you don’t use it.
For MTS and velcom subscribers, by default (that is, almost all) operators have connected the Voice Mail service from a certain time. If they call you, but you do not shoot, the operator offers to leave you a message on voicemail. And the one who heard the voice mail answering machine, the money is withdrawn as for a minute of conversation with you. Even if he did not convey anything to you, did not write it down!
Isn't that necessary? Just dial ## 002 # and press "Call" if you are an MTS subscriber, or * 441 * 1 # and "Call" if you are a velcom subscriber. This will disable voicemail.
It is easier for life :) subscribers - the operator does not automatically connect the voice mail for them, the subscriber must consciously connect it.
2. Choose the right tariff
A rate that was perfect for you a year ago can now be terribly expensive compared to the operator's new rates or those of its competitors. Operators announce tariff changes on their websites, but how often do they read it?
There is no reliable tool for automatically checking the rate for economy, and online rate calculators do not work reliably enough (for example, they underestimate additional packages of minutes or traffic). From time to time, you will have to independently review the cost details for the past several months, calculate the average consumption of minutes and megabytes, and then study the operators' websites.
True, it may not be worth running away from the operator because of a couple of thousand a month: do not forget about the different coverage of the territory and different network load for different operators, as well as your own need for calls within the network.
But also remember that you can run away from one operator to another by saving the number.
3. "Hit" the minutes
Android and some older phones have an option that will be terribly annoying for some, and save others from waste.
In the settings, find “Call settings”, then “Alerts for calls” (again, the names of the menu items may differ), and then turn on the minute minder.
Now, during a conversation, you will hear a beep every minute: it reminds you of the duration of the conversation.
On iOS, there is such a function, for example, in the Call + Data Time Monitor program, and on Windows Phone - in Call Timer.
4. Save traffic on pictures
Believe it or not, you are capable of consuming half the megabytes on the mobile Internet. At the same time, you do not need to deny yourself anything.
Turn on image compression in Chrome (called "Reduce Traffic"), Opera ("Off-road" or "Opera Turbo" features) or UC Browser ("Data Compression"). You will hardly notice any drop in the quality of the pictures.
This will not help if you are watching video from the mobile Internet, but otherwise it will save 20% to 80% of traffic.
By the way, in Windows Phone this function is “hard-wired” into the system itself and the standard browser: in the Data Control program, find the item “Save information in the browser”.
5. Call not by phone
In the presence of unlimited Internet via Wi-Fi, it will be more profitable for both interlocutors to call through special programs such as Skype or Viber.
True, when using the mobile Internet by one of the interlocutors, the savings are questionable.
Nevertheless, it is better to conduct long conversations via the Internet if both interlocutors have already paid unlimited Internet.
What is true is that it is cheaper to make international calls to many countries around the world through the programs mentioned. For example, Viber allows you to call the United States for 200 rubles per minute, while mobile operators pay about 10 thousand per minute in the United States.
6. Write SMS via the Internet
Interestingly, Belarusian operators allow you to exchange SMS for free through their websites.
Conveniently, the SMS will reach the subscriber, even if he does not have the Internet.
It is inconvenient that the service of receiving SMS from the Internet still needs to be activated. And the number of such SMS per day is limited.
See details and send SMS on the websites of operators: MTS, velcom, life :).
7. Control traffic and free minutes
A separate item is the services included in the tariff plan: free minutes, megabytes and SMS. A handy thing, if any. But it is not easy to notice that they are over.
You can find out how much free money is left with the same USSD codes: the same * 100 # in MTS, * 100 * 1 # in velcom, * 105 # in life :). You can also use the programs mentioned above.
Well, the hardest thing to track, Internet traffic, can be perfectly controlled on any smartphones.
On Android, go to the settings, and then find the item "Mobile traffic", "Cellular data" or "Data usage" (in different phones it is called differently) and set a limit and a warning about approaching the limit.
On iOS, the settings have a submenu "Cellular data", where you can see how much traffic is used, but you can only set the limit with third-party programs.
And on Windows Phone, in the standard Information Control program, you can set a traffic limit and prohibit background data transfer when you approach the limit.
And one more thing: if you connect or disconnect which service (for example, an additional package of minutes), wait for the operator's confirmation so as not to start consuming services at the old price.
8. Don't be fooled by fraud
This is not even advice, but a universal rule for all life, not just mobile.
“Send an SMS to a short number and win a million”, “your computer was blocked for watching porn, transfer the fine to such-and-such account”, “download Opera Mini for free from our site” ... There are many ways of fraud, and there are many scammers.
Before any action that may cost money, ask yourself if you know how much it costs.
For example, you can check the prices of services by short numbers on the websites of operators: MTS, velcom, life :).
9. Keep track of your balance
Even if you are sure that you did not fall for fraud, you could spend extra money on calls or the Internet. You need to be especially careful (and laconic) when making international calls.
To check how much you have already spent, you can dial the well-known USSD code * 100 #.
You can also find out how much and what you spent last month - it's easier to do this through the operators' Internet assistants: MTS, velcom, life :).
Smartphones allow you to quickly receive all information about the balance through special programs, for example, BalanceBY for Android, BuyBalance for iOS or My Balance for Windows Phone.

The mobile operator Megafon is trying to please its subscribers in everything, improving the quality of service and offering a variety of services. In some cases, the "Voice mail" option is not at all useless. It often happens that the phone runs out of charge or is out of the network area, or there is simply no connection. Let's say that one of the above-described incidents happened to you, and you are expecting a call that you simply cannot miss. In such a situation, the "Voice Mail" option will come in handy.
Description of the service
The “Voice mail” option functions as an answering machine that answers your calls in the event that, for various reasons, you cannot answer (out of range, the battery is dead, etc.). Thanks to this service, the person calling you will be able to leave a voice message, which you can later listen to. To listen to the received messages, you just need to call your mailbox. When the subscriber who called you leaves a message, an SMS notification will be sent to your phone that a voice message has been received.
The Voice Mail service operates around the clock, and there are several options for listening to the left voice messages. They can be received by e-mail, MMS-message to the phone, or viewed on the website.
Ways to connect and disconnect options
- Via SMS - you need to send an empty message to the following number: 000105602;
- Using the command USSD * 845 #;
- Also, the Voice Mail service can be activated on the Megafon operator's website in the Personal Account or through the Service Guide self-service.
To disable the option, you need to send the command USSD * 845 * 0 # or you need to use the self-service system on the megaphone website.
Peculiarities
Immediately after activating the service, you will need to listen to the instructions for managing the "Voice Mail", record a greeting for the callers and set a personal password. Until you completely complete this simple algorithm of actions, each time you enter this mail, the system will prompt you to set a password and listen to instructions, so it is better to do this right away. Dial the combination 222 and exactly follow the recommendations of the autoinformer. You can also enter the menu through a special command USSD * 105 * 602 # or through the Megafon website.
Forwarding control
- Call forwarding for all calls (unconditional) - code 21;
- No answer to the call for 30 seconds - code 61;
- If the line is busy - code 67;
- If the connection is impossible (outside the network coverage area or the phone is turned off) - code 62.
When you connect to the service, forwarding is automatically set up in case of failure to connect. To connect additional types, you can use the USSD command ** code * + 7926-200-0224 #. To cancel any type of call forwarding, dial ## code # and the call button.
Listening methods
You can listen to the contents of your voice mail by dialing the combination 222 and select the "Listen to messages" item in the voice menu. You can listen to the voice mailbox from someone else's phone. To do this, you need to enter your number in this form 79XXXXXXXXX # your password #. If you want to listen to and save the received voicemail to your computer, then you need to use the Megafon website.
The price of the issue
There is no fee for connecting and accessing the mailbox, that is, these actions are carried out free of charge. But for the option itself, a daily subscription fee of RUB 1.70 per day is charged.
If you use call forwarding in roaming abroad or in the Russian region, then the forwarding price will be formed according to the following scheme: the price of an incoming call minute + the price of an outgoing call minute to a megaphone number at the roaming rate. Therefore, decide before leaving whether you need conditional call forwarding while you are in roaming.
Attention! Regional rates may vary.
