Megafon, as a large mobile operator, has its own messenger. This is the eMotion Megafon application, which is installed on both Android and iOS. It can completely replace conventional telephone communication in cases where there is no network signal and only mobile Internet is available.
Description on Megafon
The eMotion service recently replaced the MultiFon service. This application has advanced features, is more convenient and functional. It is offered to Megafon clients just so that they can stay in touch regardless of the availability of a cellular network signal. All you need is Wi-Fi or mobile internet access.
The program has almost the same functionality that a regular mobile phone offers. You can exchange SMS messages. You can make and receive calls from anywhere in the world. Moreover, it does not matter which operator’s device you are calling to and whether it has the eMotion program installed. Your interlocutor may not even know anything about it.
Setting up Megafon MultiFon
Initially, the MultiFon program for the option of the same name was developed only for calls via the Internet. Later, MegaFon provided step-by-step instructions that made it possible to set up MultiFon on any softphone (for example, Asterix) that has SIP support.
You can get all the necessary settings for one of the popular programs on the page multifon.ru/help.
Having purchased a Megafon SIM card, preferably with a tariff without a monthly fee, we connect the MultiFon option from a mobile phone:
- You need to send a request like *137#.
- Then select the appropriate item in the list displayed on the screen.
- After receiving your login and password via SMS, it becomes possible to configure MultiFon to make outgoing calls through the same Asterix.
- For incoming messages, you will still need to configure routing settings.
For MultiFon there are three types of incoming routing:
- 0 – incoming calls will only be sent to the SIM card.
- 1 – incoming calls will only be sent to SIP. This mode is suitable for using MultiFon on an IP-PBX.
- 2 – all incoming messages will be sent to both cell phone and SIP.
In order to find out the set routing mode, insert a request like this into the browser line: https://sm.megafon.ru/sm/client/routing?login=79ХХХХХХХХ@multifon.ru&password=PassWord
Where 79ХХХХХХХХ is the phone number, PassWord is the password.
An example of entering a request to change settings, respectively, is as follows: https://sm.megafon.ru/sm/client/routing/set?login=79ХХХХХХХХХХ@multifon.ru&password=PassWord&routing=1
Where 1 is the selected routing type.
Important! Sometimes there may be some disruptions in the operation of the service.
You should not immediately contact support - in most cases, the problem is solved by turning off the MultiFon service and turning it on again after 10-20 minutes. It also happens that incoming calls do not arrive to the softphone or Asterix, but only to the MultiFon program. To resolve this issue, you should change the routing type as specified above. Before changing the type, be sure to disable the MultiFon program.
