Useful services in roaming
While roaming, you will still need to control your balance, pay for services and use other available options. In this regard, let's look at the services provided by Megafon not only when traveling in Russia, but also in other countries of the world.
Payment for services
You can pay for services in roaming in several ways. If you have a bank card or electronic money, then using the official resource of the mobile operator, you can easily deposit the required amount into your account. When the money on the phone is over and you can’t replenish your account yet, the service will come to the rescue "Promised payment". Having borrowed 50, 100, 300 rubles, you can use them for three days, and during this time you still need to replenish your account so as not to get into debtors when the amount taken is written off by the operator. When topping up by 50 ₽ for connection, you will need to pay 5 ₽, for charging 150 ₽ you will pay 15 ₽, and for 300 - 20 ₽.
There is also a service "Automatic promised payment" in the amount of 300 ₽, which you receive when you reach a balance of 10 ₽. Thanks to this efficiency, you can always stay in touch. This opportunity is provided to subscribers without any additional fee and you need to pay only 20 rubles for each enrollment. 
Account control
Service "Account Control" allows you to go about your business and not constantly check the current balance, since all information about it is presented on the display and is constantly updated. There are no special commands or requests to understand whether it is worth considering replenishing your account, because you just need to look at the screen of your mobile device.
This option is activated automatically as soon as your phone is in international roaming, and after returning home, Account Control is deactivated again.
Important! The use of this option is possible only if there is Camel roaming in the visited country and the service is not provided to subscribers who have activated the "Live balance" option, since in both cases the balance of funds is displayed on the display.
Megatraveler
A good companion during long trips to foreign lands is worth its weight in gold, because who else will help in a difficult situation. Service "Megafellow traveler" from MegaFon will provide all the important data on roaming, telling what can be useful when traveling.

Back call
When making a call from abroad, being in the network of an operator supporting this service, it will be interrupted so that the system can independently reach the subscriber you called and connect you on the line. You can use this feature simply by dialing the number 0500
(customer service) or 0555
(for corporate clients), and in both cases such a call is not paid. 
"Back call" can be used for any Russian numbers upon activation of the "Around the World" service, "Traveling" or "Around the World" tariff plans.
Important! The service can be used as efficiently as possible only when the subscriber's number is dialed in the international format, with a city or mobile network code (for example, +7). That is, for users of the Megafon operator, the entered number should look something like this: +7926 xxx xxxx.
This service can be used in 142 countries of the world, where billing is carried out in real time.
What to do if you need help?
It is likely that you will have some questions when using certain options. The company's specialists can answer them in two ways: by telephone and online on the official website of the operator.

The Megafon company offers its subscribers a wide variety of roaming services, so everyone can choose the most suitable tariff for themselves and always communicate with loved ones.
In order to freely use mobile communications and make any calls without saving from Megafon abroad, it is very important to prepare in advance. Just before leaving, it is best to check your personal account and make sure that it is positive. Also, it will not be superfluous to check the country to which you are going, in other words, information about whether roaming from Megafon works in it or not will be very helpful. This can be done very easily on the official website of the mobile operator. Only after that you need to make sure that the number supports the roaming service and it is connected. To do this, you can use the Personal Account on the site or if there is no Internet, call the inquiry service 0500.
If everything has been done and there are no problems, and accordingly the country to which the user is going has international roaming, then you can travel freely.
As soon as the border has been crossed, it is very important not to forget to turn on the mobile so that it can quickly find and fix a new network, after which the screen will show a new icon of the existing operator and, accordingly, automatically switch to its tariff. It happens that the phone refuses to carry out such registration, but this is not a problem, you can do everything yourself by going to a separate mobile menu. Today, almost the entire world is open to affordable roaming, or rather, it operates in the 152 most visited countries. Other states, especially all CIS countries, often offer the purchase of a special additional service "International Roaming Extended".
If the subscriber has international roaming connected from the Megafon mobile operator, then with its help you can freely make any calls, just like receiving incoming calls, sending messages and accessing the Internet. In addition, there is no need to change any settings for this. The only inconvenience is that it is the Internet that will be expensive, although these costs can be significantly reduced.
Megafon roaming abroad initially implies completely different tariffs. You can always read about it on the official website or just call the special number + 79261110500, which is completely free, wherever you are. If we consider in detail not the whole world, but some countries, then the tariffs will be as follows:
- Egypt - all calls, including outgoing, cost 79 rubles. in a minute. Conversation with another country - 129 rubles. per minute, SMS - 19 rubles, Internet 49 rubles. (100 Kb);
- Turkey, USA, Canada and all of Europe - calls and everything else are charged according to the same principle as in Egypt;
- Abkhazia - incoming calls, both within the country and to Russia, cost 33 rubles, around the world - 129 rubles, SMS - 139 rubles, Internet - 11 rubles. for 100 kb.
By the way, when you are abroad, even if these are CIS countries, it is better not to use the conditional forwarding service, as this can lead to a double tariff.
To activate this service, you must first call 0500 on the operator's help line or log in from your Personal Account on the site. You can always visit the nearest customer service office, but most now prefer to do everything via the Internet.
The good news for everyone will be the information that no advance payment is required to connect. The main thing is to worry about the state of your account in advance.
Service deactivation
You can disable the tariff in exactly the same way as you enable it. Considering that the service itself is completely free, such actions can be called completely unnecessary and meaningless, it will never be superfluous. But if you decide to conquer the whole world, you will no longer have to worry about all these little things - profitable international roaming will always be with you.
Internet use while roaming
At first glance, this seems like a very expensive pleasure. As it was said, the cost of only 100 Kb can increase from 11 to 63 rubles.
