Each person has the right to choose, which applies to companies offering cellular services. When using the services of a particular operator, sometimes the thought arises of moving to another provider. But I don’t want to change my number, because many people already know it. Very popular operator "Megaphone". That is why most often the question arises of how to make the transition with your number to "Megaphone".
Who needs to switch to Megafon?
It is worth saying that there are a lot of arguments for choosing "Megaphone" instead of another operator. But this does not mean that other providers provide low-quality communication services .
Among the most common causes are:
- In the subscriber’s area of residence, other operators are not able to provide high quality communications. This applies to the outback.
- It is not always advantageous to use a specific telecom operator, since in the line of tariffs it offers there is not exactly one that would satisfy all the requirements of the subscriber.
- All the close people of the subscriber, with whom you most often have to get in touch, have long switched to Megafon.
How to switch to Megafon with your number? It should be noted that the process of transition from one operator to another is regulated by law. In 2012, the Law on Communications was adopted, which states that the subscriber can switch as many times as he wants while taking the subscriber’s number with him.
Conditions
According to the rules of the current legislation, during the transition, the operator must provide the minimum time for organizing the process itself. In order for everything to go officially, the subscriber must fill out the relevant documents.
Upon transition, Megafon should issue a new SIM card to the subscriber, which will work on the old number. At the same time, the subscriber may be refused to transfer the number, especially if there is a debt on his card.
What does the transition procedure involve?
The procedure itself involves the following conditions and actions:
- You must go to the site of the operator "Megaphone" and go to the section that involves the transfer of numbers.
- It is imperative that in order to switch to another operator, it is necessary to fill out an application in electronic form stating (and thus confirming) that it is the applicant who owns the number to be transferred. It should also be confirmed that the applicant did not change his surname and passport and that all available data in the contract concluded with the previous provider is relevant. But the most important condition for switching to Megafon is the absence of debt on the current account.
- The application should enter information about the place where the delivery of the SIM card will be made. At the same time, the card is delivered free of charge to the capital and the MKAD. In other regions, you will have to pay for delivery.

The operator will be happy if those users who previously went to competitors return to it.
For new subscribers, the transition to Megafon means that it is possible to use and choose any tariff from the line. The process itself means that a new SIM card will be activated, but only after the relevant documents are signed between the operator and the subscriber.
The procedure for the provision of services
