In an effort to make the communication of its subscribers easier and more enjoyable, MegaFon offers many additional services. The operator connects a number of services without the knowledge of subscribers and then debits money from the account. Naturally, most subscribers do not like this and they are looking for a way to disable such services on MegaFon.

We disconnect by phone or in the office

The easiest way to get rid of paid services is to go to the MegaFon office and explain the problem. It is advisable to take your passport with you. Or, instead of a personal appeal, call the short telephone number 0500. Legal entities should call 8-800-550-0555.

The issue will be resolved, even if you do not know exactly which paid services are connected, but simply see that too much is being debited from your account. This option is suitable for those who do not want to spend time “traveling” around the company’s website.

We turn it off on our own

Through the "Service Guide"

In order for subscribers to cancel the connection on their own (as well as to use a host of other services), there is a “Service Guide” system. It can work in several ways.

You can send a USSD request to *105# and follow the instructions. To view the list of paid services connected to the number, you need to go to the corresponding menu.

You can download the "Service Guide" application from the official website of the company. Signing in is easy. In the "Login" field, enter your phone number, in the "Password" field - the access password. The latter must be received in this way: send a free SMS to the number 000105 with the text "41".

Through a personal account on the official website of MegaFon

When you enter megafon.ru, you need to dial your phone number. Almost at the very bottom of the page is a list of services that have been connected to the subscriber (“Current discounts and service packages”).

To remove the connection, you need to go to the "Services and tariff" section (this is the main menu on the left). The necessary services can be in the tabs:

• changing the set of services (most options);
• changing tariff options (for example, roaming services are located here);
• used one-time tariff options;
• favorite numbers (disabling the "favorite" number, to which calls are cheaper);
• balance of relatives.

Services on the site are grouped into sections, and sections into groups, which simplifies the search for the user.

Via SMS

An SMS message asking you to disable the service can be sent if you know exactly which options are enabled and which commands are canceled. From time to time, a reminder comes to the phone that a certain service is activated on this number, and a brief instruction is given on how to remove it.

illustrative examples

« Mobile Subscriptions". The subscriber receives news, horoscope, weather forecast, jokes, etc. To cancel, you need to send an SMS “stop 5038” or “no 5038”, send it to the number 5051 or 5052. Another way: go to podpiski.megafon.ru via your mobile number, select the “Unsubscribe” tab.

« Weather". Send a command from the phone *111*11# , call.

« Change your horn". Call 0550, dial the sequence of numbers 4, 4, 2, 1.

« Living balance". Dial the combination *134*0#.

There are different ways to unsubscribe from all Megafon subscriptions and not overpay for content that is unnecessary and uninteresting to the user. Sometimes customers do not even know that paid services are connected on their SIM card, but only watch the money disappear quickly from the account.

If a person does not have the opportunity to access the Internet, but he needs to abandon all Megafon subscriptions, you can do this simply using your mobile phone.

There are three such methods:

1. Via SMS to a common number for all. It will need to be sent to: "5151" (without quotes). SMS text: STOP. Immediately after that, the user will receive on his phone a listing of all activated subscriptions and tips on how to disable any of them.
2. Through SMS to the number from which a person receives paid content. This method is especially relevant for cases where you need to disable one single subscription. It is enough to send the same word "STOP" to the number from which the subscriber receives information / entertainment content.
3. Through a special ussd command. To disable unnecessary subscriptions in this way, it will be enough to dial the following combination of symbols and numbers on your phone: *505#. Next, click "Call".

Unsubscribing through a personal account on the official website

If you have access to the Network, disconnecting will be even easier. To do this, you need to go to the official website of the operator and visit your personal account.

In this section of the resource, you need to find a tab with a list of services and options, and then click "My". Immediately after that, the user will be able to get acquainted with a detailed list of all services available to him. All that remains is to decide on an unwanted subscription and click the "Disable" button next to it.

With the help of Megafon support service

You can also check subscriptions and disable unnecessary ones with the help of company employees. The most convenient way to do this is to simply call the Megafon support service and wait for a response from one of the operators.

The company's consultant will tell you what paid subscriptions the user has and will immediately disable any of them. Anyone can call the operator's call center at the following phone number: 0505.

Another similar option is to seek help from the employees of the Megafon office or a communication salon. Specialists will turn off unnecessary services right on the spot. It is important not to forget to take your passport with you.

Cancellation via mobile app

You can enter your personal account without a tablet / PC. To do this, you will need to install the operator's mobile application on your smartphone in advance. It is completely free. It will also be able to disable paid MegaFon subscriptions.

Prohibition of paid subscriptions on Megaphone

Often, the user activates a paid service by accident, or this happens without his knowledge. To avoid such cases, you should secure your mobile account and put a ban on any subscriptions.

There are two ways to do this at once:

1. Create a separate personal account that will be used to pay for services. This is a very effective way, however, in this way it will not be possible to prohibit paid subscriptions online through the application or the official website. The user will need to visit a communication salon or Megafon office with a passport. It must be remembered that only a subscriber who has registered a SIM card for himself can perform such actions. Otherwise, you will need to use a power of attorney from him (notarized).
2. Use the "Stop Content" service. After its connection, a ban on everything and calls to paid short numbers is set. This is the easiest way to protect yourself from being charged as a result of accidentally pressing an extra button. It should be noted that this service is completely free. Any Megafon subscriber can use it.

To activate the option, you will need to dial the following combination of numbers and symbols on your phone: *526#. Immediately after that, press the call button.

It will be possible to connect the service, including in your personal account, by visiting the official website of the company, and through a mobile application.

It happens that even after turning off all paid subscriptions to Megafon, money continues to be debited in an unknown direction. In this case, it is worth ordering the details of your account and clarifying the presence of third-party subscriptions. They are not displayed on the operator's website. They can also be turned off when calling the company's call center and when visiting it in person.

Today paid subscriptions are a very controversial mobile service. On the one hand, it is a convenient way to deliver legal content and pay for information services. However, the "reverse side of the coin", widely exploited by unscrupulous webmasters, creates a bad name. After all, to register a mobile subscription, you no longer need to send SMS or enter the received code on the site. It is enough just to go to the site belonging to the “premium category” from a cell phone or USB modem. Read more about the new method of "relatively honest taking money from the population" - and protection against automatic paid subscriptions - read in today's issue of TechnoDrive!

How to cancel a paid subscription?

Judging by the reviews of experts from antivirus companies, in order to turn an ordinary site into a “premium” one, with access by subscription, it is enough for an unscrupulous webmaster to place special links received from the content provider and force the browser to automatically use them via javascript.

"Invisible clicks" on these links - allegedly made by the user - send requests to the gateways of some cellular companies. If the operator "recognizes" the user as his client, he subscribes, according to the request, and sends the content provider information about the success of this operation (along with subsequent commission fees).

Mobile subscriptions "hide" behind the microfont

“If a partner uses a link or API button for other than the stated purposes, he can embed it anywhere,” notes the company's analyst Doctor Web Pavel Shalin. “Such fraud does not depend on the operating system or other parameters of the device; it is enough to use the Internet via a cellular connection.”

From this we can conclude that only an IP address and a timestamp are required (that is, even javascript in the browser is not needed, the request to the operator is completely formed by the website engine).

But there is also a positive side to this! It is likely that when using a proxy server, the partner site will not be able to do anything, since, obviously, the proxy IP address will not be in the list of active mobile connections from operators. Another thing is that for a fast proxy, which also supports SSL, you will have to pay money.

Let's get back to the mobile Ostap Benders. They often disguise the subscribe button as a play button in a media player or an advertising banner. And Federal Law No. 229-FZ, which requires specifying the cost of additional services before they are activated, is performed "for show" - reporting the fact of subscription in microfont at the bottom of the page.

Of course, no one thinks about a microfont when they want to get access to the coveted music or clips. By the way, owners of USB modems should also be aware of this danger, who usually do not expect that actions on the screen of a stationary computer can reset their cellular account. After all, a web page can be optimized for a regular monitor!

How to disable paid subscriptions on cellular?

“The most effective protection option is to disable subscriptions using the USSD command or in the subscriber's Personal Account,” said Pavel Shalin in an interview with TechnoDrive. - It is also worth noting that from the point of view of combating fraud, such "automatic subscription" links are no different from any other fraudulent sites and links, so our analysts constantly replenish their databases of deprecated sites. And then the cloud service for checking links before switching, built into the antivirus, comes into play. Dr. Web for Android- and the transition to such a link is blocked.

Note that this approach only works if the malicious domain or hyperlink has already been blacklisted by the antivirus company. In addition, for iOS, the corresponding product from Dr. There is no Web, but for "apple" gadgets there is Kaspersky Safe Browser.

You can disable all paid services and subscriptions with a special command

Returning to operators, we note that the nuances of blocking paid mailings vary from company to company. For example, "Megaphone" offers the “Content Account” service, from which mobile subscriptions and other entertainment will be paid. If the content account is zero, this is similar to blocking "premium content". In addition, the operator recommends regularly checking the list of activated subscriptions using the USSD command *505#.

Important! Without any content account, a special command USSTABRITT1 to number 5051 can prohibit mobile subscriptions from MegaFon partners for a period of 3 months. It is noteworthy that the operator himself reminds the subscriber when these 3 months end, or rather, indicates in advance that the blocking can again be extended free of charge.

A similar content account is offered to subscribers and Beeline, refused to directly block paid subscriptions back in 2014.

Quote: “You can connect an additional balance to pay for information and entertainment services of Providers using short numbers. If there are no funds on the additional balance, the service cannot be connected. Connect an additional account through the Personal Account or by calling 07226 (free of charge).

In other words, if you do not connect an additional account on Beeline, then nothing will be debited.

And here is the company MTS, for example, to unsubscribe from mailing lists, it offers the USSD command *111*919# (you need to select the "Unsubscribe from all mailing lists" item).

And when we asked MTS technical support, we were told, we quote, that in order to prohibit sending and receiving paid SMS / MMS from short numbers, as well as calls to paid short numbers, you need to activate the free Content Ban service.

A pleasant exception in this list is the virtual operator Yota, which states that it doesn't work at all with paid internet subscriptions. This was announced by the moderator of the official group "Iota" on the VKontakte social network, responding to a request from TechnoDrive. According to him, now the company does not work with content providers at all - "so paid subscriptions will not bother you."

From company " Tele 2» Technodrive received the following information: «In order to avoid writing off funds for content, we recommend that you activate the "Content personal account" service. The service is connected free of charge and has no subscription fee. When this service is activated, a separate account is allocated to pay for various content, to which you need to specifically replenish the balance. In other words, if the "Content personal account" is zero, then payment for the content will not be made. You can apply for opening a content personal account at Tele2 customer service centers. Also, "Content personal account" can be connected using *160# combination.

Theoretically, any hacked site can issue a paid subscription

However, in addition to a separate content account (with a zero balance, of course), USSD content blocking - and a reliable antivirus and / or a special browser - TechnoDrive experts recommend paying close attention to the sites you visit.

On the other hand, even the most respected site can be hacked - and then you can pick up anything from it. There were examples! Even highly-rated online publications were hacked, and writing about innovations: ((

The unexpected loss of money from a mobile phone account is a problem that every subscriber has encountered. It would seem: I just topped up my account, I didn’t call anyone, I didn’t go to the Internet, and the amount on the balance sheet is already much less than the one that was deposited. Most likely, a certain service is connected to your number, for the use of which you need to pay a subscription fee. The trouble is that in most cases, the subscribers themselves have not even heard about this service.

It often happens that subscribers connect the service for free, and over time, the operator changes the conditions and makes it paid. At the same time, this trend is observed in absolutely all companies providing communication services in Russia. A simple way out of this situation is to disable this service.
