This article will explain how to check the rest of the traffic on Megafon. All methods are absolutely free. Based on the positive and negative sides of each, recommendations will be given regarding their use.
What are the ways?
Today, there are many ways with which you can learn about how to check the rest of the traffic on Megafon. Among them are the following:
- using a modem and its software;
- using a special request;
- call to the service center;
- by sending SMS to a number specially reserved for these purposes;
- on the official website of the mobile operator.
Each of them will be considered in detail in the framework of this material.
We use a modem
This method is most often used to find out the rest of the traffic. On the Megafon modem, this can be done using the software utility that comes with the kit. In its interface there is a button "Statistics". By clicking on it, you can find out the number of megabytes or gigabytes remaining. But at the same time, at the bottom of the screen there will be a message stating that the data is approximate and to obtain more accurate information you need to use a different method. This method works only on a computer or laptop and gives only an approximate amount of remaining traffic.
Phone inquiry
You can find out the rest of the traffic to Megafon using your phone or smartphone. For this, this operator has a special team. The order of its dialing is as follows: enter * 105 # and press the call button. In response, we get the rest of the traffic. In principle, this method also successfully works on some models of modems. Another nuance that needs to be taken into account is that such a request can be sent only from phones that can work in the network of this operator. That is, those mobile devices that are flashed under "Beeline", "MTS" or "TELE2" cannot not only send such a request, but even register on the Megafon network. This must be taken into account when trying to find out in this way the number of gigabytes or megabytes remaining.
Megafon Customer Support Center
Subscribers of the Megafon network can see the rest of the traffic not only on the screen of a mobile phone or personal computer. You can still hear it by phone by calling the customer support number. In this case, you must perform the following steps:
- We install a SIM card in a mobile phone (if it was in a modem). Do not forget that this device should work correctly on this network.
- Turn on the device and enter the PIN code, if necessary.
- At the next stage we type “0500” and press the button with the green handset.
- After the connection is established, following the instructions of the answering machine, we connect with the operator.
- Then we ask him to indicate the number of remaining megabytes or gigabytes.
Not quite a convenient way compared to others, because it requires many additional steps.
SMS
You can determine the rest of the traffic on the Megafon modem using SMS. To do this, type “Residue” or “Ostatok” in the message text and send it to the number “000663”. In response, information with the remaining number of gigabytes or megabytes will come. It should be noted right away that this method does not work on every modem model. There are devices that do not support sending text messages. In this case, you can remove the SIM card from the modem and install it in a mobile phone, and then perform this operation on it. Again, the firmware of the device should allow full registration and operation in the network of the MegaFon mobile operator.
Official site
Another way to check the rest of the traffic on Megafon is based on using the official website of this mobile operator. To be more precise, the Master Guide system is used. In this case, you need to perform the following manipulations:
- We launch any of the installed browsers on the PC.
- Using the search engine, we find the official website of this mobile operator.
- First, we go through the registration procedure in this system. We fill out a form with personal data. We indicate the password for access to the service "Master Guide" in it. Then we get a text message with a code for registration. This procedure allows the operator to uniquely identify you as the owner of this mobile number.
- Using the password (it was set at the previous stage) and the phone number, we go into this system.
- In the "Data Transfer" section we find the information we are interested in.
The main disadvantage of this method is that the available megabytes go to determine the remaining amount of traffic. And so this is the most accurate method that allows you to track the information you need in real time. To do this, it is enough to press the function key F5 as necessary. After updating the information in the browser window, the exact balance of gigabytes or megabytes will be obtained.
Recommendations
Now let's compare the pros and cons of the previously given ways of how to check the rest of the traffic on Megafon, and decide which one is the most optimal. The first is based on the use of modems and a software utility, quite simple and affordable. But his accuracy is not the best. If you have more than 10 megabytes left, then it is quite possible to use it. But with less traffic, it’s better to use some other method. The most difficult in terms of practical implementation is the call to the customer support center. Besides the fact that you need to perform many actions, there is also not always a free operator. That is, you have to wait a while for a connection. Sending SMS is also not the best choice. Not always the right information comes back the first time. A method based on the Master Guide system is also not optimal. In the process of determining traffic, you lose the number of remaining megabytes or gigabytes. Therefore, it is most rational to use a query. And you get the answer promptly, and the traffic remains intact.
