How is it profitable to switch to Megafon with your own number?

About six years ago, people had such an opportunity as switching from one operator to another while maintaining their old phone number using the Mobile Number Portability (hereinafter MNP) system, because changing numbers is not a pleasant procedure: in the future, it will also be necessary to notify all acquaintances about changing, adding all the old numbers yourself, now everything has become much easier. You can apply for a transfer, and within ten days you will have the opportunity to think over and weigh all the pros and cons, while the old operator calls you, offering secret and super favorable rates that you will not find on his website Carriers understandably don’t like to lose their customers, so once you’re willing to switch, they can generously shower you with various suggestions aimed at changing your mind, this is not unusual. If you are adamant and finally decided that you want to change the operator, and you are not satisfied with the conditions offered by your old provider, then it will still be more convenient to transfer the number than to buy new card... The MNP service has undoubtedly gained great popularity among the population and already at the moment it is difficult to meet a person who would prefer a new one to his usual number.

From time to time, all providers experience changes in prices, quality of communication and mobile Internet, but these reasons are quite enough to make you want to change your operator to another. And sometimes there is even an additional withdrawal of money from the subscriber's account or the connection of any paid services without his knowledge, this is also, unfortunately, quite common. Recently, more and more people want to switch to Megafon with the preservation of the number, because everyone can find a tariff based on their desires and preferences, but we will talk about tariffs later. First, let's look at the transition process itself and what is needed for this.

To begin with, we will discuss the conditions and nuances that will help to make the transfer quickly and calmly.

The most important thing is that the number must belong to the region in which the transition is made. Being, for example, in the Krasnodar Territory, make sure that the number belongs to it (checking the region in which your number is registered is possible in special online services, as well as on the sites of mobile operators);

Another equally important condition is that the number must be issued to you, and not to your friend or relative. Only the one to whom the SIM card with the old phone number was issued should be engaged in number porting;

Your passport data in the agreement of the old operator must be valid and correctly recorded in the agreement. If you changed your passport, then before applying for the transfer, you must add the new data to the contract of your operator;

The number must not be blocked;

City phone numbers cannot be ported, this service applies only to federal numbers (8 915 XXX XX XX

If you have previously made the same MNP transition, a second one can be carried out only after sixty days;

It is better to immediately check the contract with the old operator for errors in it, this will help you avoid long porting of the number or even refusal of the service;

Take into account the fact that the funds in your account will be reset to zero, so it is better if there is a minimum amount on the phone during the transition (the balance must be positive). However, this does not work with debts. If the balance is negative, the transition will not be made. The service itself, when switching to Megafon, is provided absolutely free of charge (in the salons of other MNP operators it can cost about 100 rubles).

It is worth noting that when you switch to Megafon, unlimited mobile Internet is connected for free in tariffs of a certain line, so if you are a very active user of the Internet, we suggest that you get to know these tariffs better, and you do not have to think about how much Internet is. left until the end of the month or buy additional gigabytes. Moreover, Megafon is the deserved leader in the question of the fastest 4G Internet, Speedtest tells us about this.

After submitting the application, the subscriber data will be checked for eight days and the operators will prepare them for the transfer. Please note that the mobile operator gives you the opportunity to choose when the transition will take place, because for some time you will be without communication, wait for you to be transferred from Beeline, MTS, Tele 2 or another operator directly to Megafon. The date must be determined. thus: not earlier than eleven days and not later than six months from the date of submission of the application for transfer. As a rule, within 30 minutes you will not be able to make outgoing calls and SMS, and receive calls and messages within 6 hours, but the transfer time may differ slightly. You will be fully transferred within eight days to six months. You don't need to do anything during the transfer process. Operators settle all matters themselves, communicate with each other about transferring your data to the Megafon database. You will only be informed about the beginning of the transition, about possible failures and everything else using text messages (if there is no transfer service with a temporary number, you will receive messages both to the old SIM card and to the new one).

Note that the procedure for switching to Megafon with your own number does not differ in anything, regardless of whether you are transferring the number from MTS, Beeline or any other telecom operator. They are absolutely identical.

In addition, you can choose to transfer with the introduction of a temporary phone number provided by Megafon for the period of connecting your main SIM card. A temporary number is provided to you from the day you submit your application. While all the necessary operations for the operator's transfer take place, you will be able to use the services of Megafon. When your number is entered into the general database, then you will need to reboot your device and the temporary number will change to your permanent one. But if it suddenly turns out that it is impossible to transfer your number to Megafon, then you can use the temporary number provided to you, it will not be disabled. If there are any errors in the transfer, and you try to transfer it again, then it is not guaranteed that you will be able to use the temporary number.

In December 2013, a law came into effect in Russia that abolished the so-called mobile slavery and allowed subscribers to connect to new operators, retaining a single phone number. This applies to all communication providers without exception. The article will discuss how to switch to Megaphone while keeping the number.

In Megafon, the service that provides the transition from one operator to another with the preservation of the number and prefix is called the abbreviation MNP from the English phrase Mobile Number Portability.
