It will be interesting for new subscribers who have purchased SIM cards of a white-green telecom operator, as well as those people who already use MegaFon’s communication services, but who have purchased a new gadget, to learn about the settings that should be used to work with the SMS service. Of course, modern devices do not need to think about such a problem: users do not have to deal with the question of how to get the settings of SMS “Megaphone” - the setting is done automatically. This happens immediately after the SIM card is installed in the gadget and it will be registered in the operator’s network.
However, sometimes not everything goes so smoothly and the client does not have the ability to send and receive messages. How to check SMS settings on the Megafon number and correct them if necessary? This issue will be considered in the current article.
SMS service features
Before you talk about what SMS settings should be on the Megafon number, you should clarify the following nuance: when you purchase a new SIM card (or replace it), communication services are connected within 24 hours. This means that even with the correct settings of the previously named service, the subscriber can use it only after a day. This time is necessary for the correct connection of communication services. If after one day the SMS functionality does not work, then you should check the settings that have been set and adjust them if necessary. If such a measure is not effective, you will have to contact the operator’s communication salon.
SMS center
The main setting for the text messaging service on the Megafon number, as well as on the SIM card of any telecom operator providing this service, is the SMS center. Each operator and region has a personal number. In modern devices, its configuration is carried out automatically and human participation, as a rule, is not required at all. However, if there is a problem with sending and receiving SMS, then first of all you need to check how correctly the number is registered in the settings in the "SMS Center" ("Megaphone") field. To configure SMS yourself have to perform a few simple steps.
SMS center setup
If the text message service on the number is connected and there are difficulties with its use, then you need to go to the "settings" of the cellular device. Basically, on modern devices, you can find this in the section of the same name. Here in the line "SMS Service Number" (the name may differ on different versions of operating systems), you should check the correctness of the number entry.
Firstly, it must be specified in the international format +7.
Secondly, it must be specified for the region in which the SIM card is purchased and registered. You can clarify the number through the contact center operator or by visiting the page with frequently asked questions on the operator’s resource for your region - here is a description of the main services. Including, see here the Megafon SMS center for SMS settings.
After the number is entered in the appropriate field, you should save the settings, wait up to fifteen minutes and try to send a test message.
For what reasons can not send and receive messages?
In addition to the fact that there is no SMS center number, in the gadget settings, the reasons for not being able to send and receive messages may include the following points:
- SMS service on the room is disabled. This can only be done by the operator at the initiative of the client. You can clarify the status of the service by calling the contact center.
- The cell number of the person to whom you are trying to send some information through messages is incorrectly indicated in the line: for example, not completely or without a seven or eight at the beginning.
- A ban on the use of the service. This prohibition can be established by both the operator and the subscriber himself. To remove it, you must enter the query # 330 * 1111 #. Please note that such a command removes all prohibitions that were set on the number. After entering it, turn off and then turn on the device again for quick and correct application of the settings.
- If the settings of SMS are correctly registered on the Megafon number and there are no other restrictions, but you still cannot send the message, then make sure that there is enough money on the balance to send the message.
Internet setting via SMS
If the SMS settings are set on the Megafon number, the subscriber can also receive settings for the Internet and MMS for his gadget. This may be relevant in cases where they were not automatically installed on the phone. So, in order to request Internet settings via SMS through MegaFon, you should send a message to number 5049, in the text of which you should write the name of the service for which parameters are required.
You can also call 05190 and select the desired settings through the voice system.
Conclusion
Thus, on the Megafon number, the Internet is configured on the phone: SMS, a call to a toll free number. It is also possible to configure this service manually. You can do it yourself in just a few minutes. Preliminarily recommend using auto tuning. If there are problems with their receipt or saving or simply are not used on the device, you should go to the mobile Internet settings and register the access point - internet, without filling in the login and password. Detailed information on setting up individual operating systems can be found on the official resource of the operator.
