MegafonPro offers users to receive various information, mainly for money. There are services that people connect voluntarily, but some, for example, Kaleidoscope, are installed automatically when registering a SIM card. Whether users like it or not, pop-up messages endlessly appear on their phone displays offering to order for money the continuation of a news story, joke, weather forecast, etc. This is very annoying when working with the phone, and therefore the question about MegaFonPro arises - how to disable it?
MegafonPro is a whole portal, disabling which costs 170 rubles. You can turn it off completely by going to Megafon's central office. To complete the application, you need to confirm your identity with a passport or driver's license. I calculated that if 100,000 users want to disable this service, Megafon will receive 17 million rubles. Some good businesses are being built these days, aren't they? First, you impose on people, in other words, certain content that no one needs, and for its disabling you demand a small compensation. Yeah, well thought out.
You can disable the Kaleidoscope service for free, which is activated by default when you buy a SIM card. It is she who manages pop-up windows with various offers. If you confirm the service, money is withdrawn from your balance and you receive an SMS with another yellow “duck”. An unnecessary feature, isn't it? Then turn it off quickly!
In order to disable Kaleidoscope on Megafon, you can use 4 convenient methods:
First option. Go to your phone's menu. You will see a Sim Services icon or something like that, depending on your phone model. Next, click on the “Kaleidoscope” item - various subscription options will open in front of you (weather, news, humor, exchange rates, etc.) with “+” icons. Click next to each item “Functions” - “Disable subscription”. After this, a “-” sign should appear opposite each section. That's it, now on your display there will be only what you need, without so-called spam and pop-up messages.
Second option– Megafon official website. You can log into your personal account by entering your details. After that, go to the “Service Guide” section. Here you can see all the services and subscriptions connected to your number, as well as manage them with one click.
Third option– call the Megafon service center at 0500. You can contact the operator directly and use it to disable unnecessary subscriptions, or do the same by dialing command numbers on your phone that help you navigate to one or another service management section.
Fourth option– a visit to the Megafon office, located not far from home. Don't forget to take your passport with you so that the staff can identify you as the owner of the number. In the office, you can also find out what services you have connected to – and deactivate them if you don’t need them.
Today, the world of cellular communications is increasingly influenced by various SMS subscriptions and SMS quizzes. We constantly hear only negative reviews about the latter: either they will charge a large amount of money for sending an unknown SMS to a special number, or the operator will say that the number has a subscription to the “Weather” service, which constantly reduces your mobile phone bill by three rubles per day.
And you never know what other types of these subscriptions are found in reality. Today in sight is the official website of the operator with subscriptions called MegafonPRO. Having examined the offered services and their prices, we did not find anything unusual in them, although we heard many not very good and pleasant reviews about this service. Today, MegafonPro offers profitable SMS subscriptions in many areas, including finance, sports, news and entertainment. Depending on the settings, which section or part of it you subscribe to, information will constantly be sent to your personal phone number via SMS, for example, Sports - Football - News.
How to find out connected subscriptions
How can I find out on the Megafon portal? To determine the name and number of subscriptions that are already connected to your individual number,
You will be able to use two options:
- Each phone you take (also iPhone) has a specially created SIM menu that provides access to sections of the MegaFonPro website. We find it and immediately go to the “Subscriptions” menu. Then you will have access to a list of all connected subscriptions on your phone’s SIM card.
- In another case, you can simply send an SMS from your number with the text LIST or LIST to the number from which the SMS with information was sent. In the message received in response, you will immediately receive a list of your subscriptions.
How to quickly disable the Megafon Pro service?
To disable access to the site and MegafonPro, you need to do one of the following:
Today, unfortunately, it is impossible to disable MegafonPRO in the Service Guide or using your personal account. But the mobile operator Megafon is constantly, every day, increasing the range of additional services and options, providing even more convenience to customers. We think that such a unique opportunity will appear in the near future.
Every year the world of mobile communications is replenished with more and more “traps” for subscribers. These can be various promotions, SMS quizzes, and SMS subscriptions. And the Megafon operator is no exception in this regard. Often, subscribers complain about unexpected withdrawals of money from their accounts or the connection of any subscription - weather, entertainment, etc. - without their knowledge. One of the reasons may be accidentally connected Megafon Pro options. What is this and how to turn it off?
What is Megafon PRO?
Megafon Pro is a special application recorded on the SIM card memory. It searches and provides relevant information to subscribers.
It is presented in the form:
- exciting information (news, TV show announcements, cinema posters);
- various types of entertainment (music, games, competitions, quizzes);
- directory (useful information about different cities);
- communication (dating services, chats).
The application itself is very slow, but it also takes up relatively little memory. It is available for both new smartphones and budget phone options. Needless to say, Megafon Pro does not provide the above services for subscribers free of charge. Each service, be it news, games or dating, will cost the subscriber a pretty penny.
How can I find out which subscriptions are connected?
Obviously, a service such as Megafon Pro is already outdated. Nowadays, most smartphones have Internet access, where information and entertainment can be obtained absolutely free. But the operator benefits from such a service, and therefore it continues to exist. It often happens that subscriptions can be issued accidentally or without the subscriber’s knowledge at all. Therefore, if you notice that extra money is being withdrawn from your account, the first thing you need to do is check whether you have subscriptions from Megafon Pro.
There are two ways to determine their type and quantity:
- Every phone, including the latest models from Apple and Samsung, contains a SIM menu that can also give access to the service portal. Go to settings, find this menu and click “subscriptions”. Next, the operator will ask you to wait a few seconds and an SMS message will be sent to your phone with the number and name of all your subscriptions.
- The second option is only possible for those who already know for sure that they have signed up for something, as they have received a number of SMS messages with information. Go to your messages menu and send an SMS with the word “LIST” or “LIST” to the number from which the subscription comes. A reply SMS will bring the answer to the question.
How to disable?
So, let's get to the main point. How to disable annoying subscriptions from Megafon Pro and protect yourself from unexpected expenses?
You can also do this in two ways:
- If you just need to disable subscriptions, go to the item of the same name and select how many subscriptions you need to disable: one or all at once. In response, you may receive an SMS message indicating the success of the operation. If the SIM card is inserted into another device, for example, a tablet or modem, you must insert it into the phone and follow the above steps.
- If you need to know how to disable the service without going into the SIM menu, then you can simply send an SMS with the word “OFF” or “STOP” to the number from which the subscription comes.
Unfortunately, you cannot completely disable the Megafon Pro service. The possibility of accidentally connecting to paid services remains possible. However, Megafon is making communication more convenient and practical for subscribers every day, so perhaps a method will appear soon.
