New subscribers who have purchased SIM cards from a white-green telecom operator, as well as those people who already use Megafon's communications services, but have purchased a new gadget, will be interested to know what settings should be for work with the SMS service. Of course, modern devices allow you not to think about such a problem: users do not have to face the question of how to get Megafon SMS settings - the settings are made automatically. This happens immediately after the SIM card is installed in the gadget and it is registered in the operator's network.
However, sometimes not everything goes so smoothly and the client is not able to send and receive messages. How to check the SMS settings on the Megafon number and, if necessary, correct them? This issue will be discussed in the current article.
Features of the SMS service
Before talking about what SMS settings should be on the Megafon number, you should clarify the following nuance: when purchasing a new SIM card (or replacing it)connection of communication services is carried out within 24 hours. And this means that even with the correct settings of the previously named service, the subscriber will be able to use it only after a day. It is this time that is necessary for the correct connection of communication services. If after a day the SMS functionality still does not work, then you should check the settings and, if necessary, correct them. 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 message service on the Megafon number, as well as on the SIM card of any telecom operator providing such a service, is the SMS center. For each operator and region there is 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" ("Megafon") field. To set up SMS yourself, you will have to perform a few simple steps.
Setting up the SMS center
If the service of text messages on the number is connected and there are difficulties with its use, then you need to go to the "settings" of the cellular device. Mostly 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 entering the number.
First, it must be in the international format +7.
Secondly, it must be specified for the region in which the SIM card was 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 setting up SMS.
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.
Why can't send and receive messages?
In addition to the fact that there is no SMS center number, in the gadget settings, the following points may be the reasons for not being able to send and receive messages:
- SMS service on the number is disabled. This can only be done by the operator at the initiative of the client. You can check 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 via 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 has been established. This prohibition can be set by both the operator and the subscriber himself. To remove it, you must enter the request3301111. Please note that such a command removes all prohibitions that have been set onroom. After entering it, you should turn off and then turn on the device again to quickly and correctly apply the settings.
- If the SMS settings on the Megafon number are correct and there are no other restrictions, but you still cannot send a message, then make sure that there is enough money on the balance to send the message.
Setting up Internet 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 via Megafon, you should send a message to number 5049, in the text of which write the name of the service for which the parameters are required.
