Home region - this is the area where you connected your Megaphone number. That is, for example, if you connected it in Moscow, Podolsk or Zelenograd, then your home zone is Moscow and the Moscow region (Moscow region), if in St. Petersburg or Vyborg, then St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, and if in Ryazan, Ryazhsk or Kasimov - the Ryazan region.
Accordingly, all the descriptions that you read in your tariff plan will be valid only on the territory of this connection area, and beyond the aisles it already comes into force, about which you can read in more detail at the link - there is about travel both in Russia and abroad , and told about how much money you will be charged for calls, SMS and Internet access, as well as how to avoid this.
Not sure which cities are included? All cities in your area. The division on the Megafon website into the Center, North-West, Volga region, South, Ural, Caucasus and so on are conventions, the boundaries of the home region still pass along the border of your region, as the geographical map shows (there may be errors on the border if inside the zone will pick up a signal from a tower from another area).
Megaphone outside the home region
What if you have registered your number in one area and are going to travel or live in another? There can be three options.
- A short trip around Russia;
- Long-term residence in another city;
- Full move to another city.
In the first case, you will not be on the trip for too long, and then you will return to your hometown again, and since a long stay outside your home region does not threaten you, there is no point in changing the tariff plan completely or even connecting a new number. But you can use suitable tariff options from Megafon. Here's an example of how you can save money:
- Fell yourself like at your own home - when the option is connected, all calls, SMS and Internet outside the home region cost the same as at home (the only exception is the Crimea peninsula). True, you will have to pay 15 rubles a day.
- Crimea - the opposite situation, here you can speak only in Crimea at home rates.
- Everywhere Moscow - You can talk at home prices and send SMS throughout Central Russia - for residents of the capital.
- At home in Moscow - on the contrary, an option for guests of the capital, which allows you to talk and send MMS and SMS in Moscow, as if you are in your home region (your region).
- All Russia - not exactly home prices, but still free incoming calls and outgoing calls and SMS for three rubles are better than nothing.
Most of the options are designed only for calls, the Internet outside is already expensive - at 9.9 rubles per MB, with the exception of special options for this or TP, which are valid not only at home, but also when traveling around the country.
If you are going to live in another city for a long time, then it makes sense to consider buying an additional SIM card by connecting it in a new city of residence, and at the first to set forward incoming calls so that even those who do not know your new number can get through to you.
And, finally, if you plan to permanently move to live in another city - just buy a new SIM card and tell everyone from your address book who you will communicate with that you have changed your number. This can be done automatically using the "New Number" service.
Is it possible to change the home region for the Megafon number
Unfortunately, this cannot be done. Each SIM card is initially assigned (it is sewn into its chip and assigned to the number) to a certain region of the Russian Federation, and it is technically impossible to change its home region. So you won't be able to move to another city, leaving your old number, and use communication services according to its tariff plans.
The only thing you can do is register a number with the same set of numbers (except for the first three, which contain the region number), if it is still free at the moment. In this case, you will have the number 8-960-XXX-XXXX instead of 8-920-XXX-XXXX (this is just an example), but changing this way is useful only for easier memorization of your phone number.
How to connect your home region
Depends on what exactly you are going to connect. By itself - it is installed automatically. But if you want home prices to be valid outside your home region, you can use various tariff options - they are available for both minutes and SMS, and for Internet traffic. Above, we have listed the most popular of them for traveling in the Russian Federation, and more full list For Internet options and packages of minutes and sms for traveling around Russia, read the Roaming section and connect via Megafon or USSD with commands and sms_ messages.
For example, for the Internet, you can enable the option “ Internet in Russia"And enjoy unlimited access to the network throughout the Russian Federation, except for the Far East, Crimea and other remote places ( *105*0042# - connection and disconnection). And for completely free calls and SMS “ Travel without worries» ( *186# - connection and disconnection) - works everywhere except Crimea.
