Just ten years ago, when people made an appointment, the phrase "call on the spot" would sound strange. With the development of the mobile communications market , this is not surprising. True, sometimes people are let down by memory, and at the most inopportune moment the phone bill is at zero. And the first thing that comes to mind is to make a call at the expense of a friend. The megaphone, unfortunately, could not immediately provide its customers with such
opportunity.
Initially, in this case, subscribers were invited to send informational messages asking them to call back or replenish their account. As a result, the called subscriber received a notification, and he already decided whether to fulfill the request or not. But the one who sent him had only to guess about the result. Of course, this is not always convenient. Especially if it is very important to contact a friend or relative.
And by the numerous requests of customers, the service “Call at the expense of a friend” was developed. Megaphone thought it over to the smallest detail. And most importantly - it is very convenient to use. Suppose you do not have funds in your account, but you urgently need to call. The megaphone suggests simply dialing three digits before the desired number - 000. And the called person will see a familiar number on the display of his phone, and when he picks up the phone, the system will notify him that this is a call at his expense. The subscriber will only have to decide: is it worth accepting the call or not.
Of course, this option is much more convenient. After all, it is far from always possible to immediately read the message. In addition, if the
subscriber does not pick up the phone, he will also receive an additional notification about this. So both can be sure that they will not be left without communication at the most critical moment. Moreover, calls can be accepted at any balance, even negative.
For those who make a call at the expense of a friend, Megaphone has also provided other dialing options. You can, for example, dial 0550 and just follow the prompts of the autoinformer. In addition, the phone number itself can be dialed in any convenient format, starting with the numbers 7, 8 or even without them. Of course, such a service quickly became popular with the company's customers. Just before you use this service, you need to know if another person has the opportunity to pay for your call.
If the acquaintance does not have a sense of tact and uses the mentioned service too often, you can add it to the black list. It accommodates up to 66 numbers of the Megaphone network. A call from a subscriber for such people will no longer be available. How to do it? Send a message to the number 5084 with the text: "+ 79XXXXXXXX". If you want to remove a specific phone from the emergency, instead of a plus, it is enough to put a minus. Agree, quite convenient.
True, there is one caveat: the service works only in the home region. In addition, the cost of the call does not depend on the tariff plan and connected services for the called subscriber. It does not require additional connection or disconnection, moreover, it is valid even after changing the tariff plan. And the call can be received even when roaming.
Not only convenience and ease of use have made such a service "Call at the expense of a friend". The megaphone really took into account the wishes of its customers, dictated by the modern rhythm of life. But only in this case the cellular company manages to create a really comfortable and necessary service.
