What is a beacon?
"Beacon", "seagull" - people call this service differently. Its essence is to send a free message asking you to call back or replenish your account. This is very convenient especially at a time when you do not have money in your account. For example, with a zero balance, you can easily send a “beacon”. Megaphone, MTS and some other operators provide this service. It is absolutely free, but you should know that the number of messages sent per day is limited.
