The multifon allows you to make calls within Russia for just 1.5 rubles / min at any time of the day. For the first time, we talked about the Multifon back in 2011. Over the years, the program interface has changed, so it's time to see what Multifon is in 2014.

In order for us to be able to call from a computer to any mobile (cellular) or landline phone all over the world, we need to install the MultiFon program on our computer.

At the first step, we need to download the Multifon program for Windows from the official website.

After downloading, run the file with the program and follow the installation instructions.

Press the button "Install"

After the installation process has been completed, all that remains is to click the Finish button.

To complete the installation, click "Finish"

We put a tick “I agree with the Terms of Service“ MultiFon ”and press the Next button.

How to call via Multifon

Activating the program

Having received the password, you can start working with the Multifon. We activate the program by entering the phone number and password.

Enter the phone number and password for access to the Multifon program

By default, incoming calls go to the multi-phone, but you can choose two more options:

Mobile only;
To mobile and MultiFon.

Setting up incoming calls

Create a contact list

To add a person to your contact list, select the Add Contact command from the Contacts menu.

Adding a new contact

Add the necessary information and click the "Add contact" button.

Call to cell phone

After adding a contact indicating the cell phone number, you can immediately call this cell phone. Select the required contact from the list and click on the button Calling to a mobile or landline phone.

After the subscriber answers, the talk time report will start.

The subscriber answered - time has passed. If necessary, you can record the conversation by clicking on the record button

Service cost

In this particular case, the call was made to cell phone a subscriber geographically located 2000 km away from the author of these lines. The conversation lasted a little over 30 minutes.

To get accurate statistics, we will request call detailing via the service guide.

For the call paid 46 rubles, i.e. the cost of one minute was 1.5 rubles. (clickable)

The quality of communication is worse than when calling from mobile to mobile, but considering that the cost of a minute of conversation was only 1.5 rubles, you can put up with the quality of communication.

Recently, a service from MegaFon called “MultiFon” has undergone a number of changes, it has become more ergonomic and profitable. With its help, you can easily communicate with all people anywhere in the world. In this overview article, we will look at it in more detail.

Service capabilities

"MultiFon" helps save money on the account when communicating in roaming, since communication takes place at fixed and agreed rates and requires only access and the Internet.

The use of this service implies a pre-downloaded application that is available for all popular operating systems... eMotion is a new messenger developed by the company that is just gaining popularity. It allows you to:

Call to any destination without changing the number;
Correspond and share music;
Synchronize with your phone book.

The cost and rates are as follows: outgoing call to the number of the green operator throughout the territory Russian Federation is 80 kopecks per minute and 1.5 rubles for calls to other numbers. Roaming and prices in it depend on the country you are in, mobile / landline phone and operator, to whose number you are going to make a call. You can get acquainted with the prices in more detail on the official website of MegaFon, since for each country MegaFon puts forward its own prices for services, which is impossible to fit within the framework of this article.

Connection

Activation of "MultiFon" occurs immediately after entering a special technical command. Or else it will come automatically after downloading the application from PlayMarket or AppleStore. Across Personal Area you can also activate the service. Disconnection occurs in the same way: by entering the USSD command, or manually in your personal account. To enable this service on your SIM card, you need to enter * 137 # and press the call button. Connection occurs instantly, and you will be notified that you did everything right. Disconnection is made with exactly the same command: * 137 #.

In the past, there was also a Lite version of this service, but now, after certain changes, its connection is not possible.

Usage

In the stationary version of the application, in order to log in, you need to enter your number mobile phone, which acts as a login. Client for personal computers requires additional customization that every user with basic knowledge can handle.

The mobile application that you download from the official resource for your platform will automatically register you. After connecting to the Internet, launch the program and call anywhere in the world. Calls from roaming, when using eMotion, will allow you to save colossal amounts. All you have to do is find a free hotspot in a public place like a coffee shop. Given the prevalence of open Wi-Fi networks abroad, it will not be difficult to do this.

For part of the territories of the Russian Federation, there is an opportunity to buy special packages of minutes for calls not only in Russia, but also around the world. For example:

1000 minutes costs 150 rubles / month;
3000 minutes can be purchased for 450 rubles per month;
5000 for 750 rubles / month.

Why are call rates so low? Because the call is made through The world wide web, which does not create any loads on the towers and does not redirect you through base stations foreign operators.

Connect all the packages you are interested in through your personal account, so as not to get confused in the abundance of available USSD commands. All of you will not remember them, but one day you will need this or that service, so download yourself official app for MegaFon, and select the services you are interested in in a few clicks.

"Multifon" for business

This service is relevant for corporate clients who can use it in the operation of IP telephony. This makes it possible to make business processes much easier. All you need is to connect the Internet to the office building and connect SIP equipment (computers, telephones, IP-PBX). The operator provides a multichannel telephone number that allows making about sixty calls simultaneously.

Thanks to this feature, there are a number of advantages:

high-speed communication system guaranteed to be protected from wiretapping;
high access speed provides a high-quality connection, which means efficiency in work;
a company that has a certain amount of branches or several office divisions can provide internal wireless communication very effective.

The option is compatible with an app called eMotion. In the corresponding section of the official website, you can get automatic settings.

"Multifon" give a chance:

configure direct calls directly from the portal, which will speed up the process of interaction with customers and stimulate sales;
organize a virtual PBX version with a VIR menu, lines and routing;
for customers to activate the phone number 8-800, calls to which are paid directly by the company;
use local, long distance and even international connection at fixed prices.

Enterprise service connection method

It automatically connects when eMotion is activated. If you intend to use other devices and applications, you can proceed as follows:

dialing from a mobile phone * 137 #;
use your Personal Account;
use sm.megafon.ru (web service).

Provided that you are not included in the list of corporate clients of the operator, you must submit an application through sm.megafon.ru. Confidentiality is guaranteed. After that, "Multifon Business" is activated and the subscriber receives a SIP ID (<номер мобильного>@ multifon.ru).

To receive SMS with a password, you need to dial * 137 # and then press "Password".

Disabling is done in different ways:

Many subscribers of Megafon, in order to economically communicate with other regions, have connected the Multifon service. It is convenient and gives the user a whole list of advantages. All tariffs are reduced due to the fact that you use the connection via the Internet. In order to control your expenses, it will not be superfluous to know how to connect, and how to disable Multifon on Megafon, if the service is no longer needed. Let's start with deactivation. Often, the procedure for disabling a particular function is not given importance, which leads to unnecessary costs.

How to disable the Multiphone

If for some reason there is no longer a need for Multifon, you can easily refuse the service of using communication via the Internet in several ways:

You can simply deactivate the multifon from Megafon through your personal account on the company's website;
Sending a request to Megafon.

In order to use the first option, you need to have a personal account. If it is not there, connecting to the Internet is easy. To do this, enter the megafon.ru resource and in the right upper corner home page find an inscription with a drawn key that reads "Personal Account". Come in and find yourself on the login or registration page. A set of two types of information is required from you:

your phone number from Megafon;
password to log in.

You have the first, the second can be obtained by sending a request * 105 * 00 # from the phone keypad. In a second, you will be provided with a password. The request can also be used to replace it in the event that you forgot. Using the Internet, you can always change the functionality of Megafon, connecting to the necessary services, and disconnecting from them when the need is gone.

Going into your personal account, explore its capabilities. The question of how to turn off the Multifon on Megaphone is solved very simply. It is enough to go to the desired section and deactivate it. Any function of the provider can be deactivated in this way.

It is even easier, bypassing your personal account on the Internet, to send a request to the operator's number. To do this, you need to hammer * 137 # on the keypad of the mobile phone and make a call. The display will immediately pop up a menu in which you need to select the "Disable" option. Deactivation will take place automatically.

What is the Multifon service

Many people compare Multifon with Skype, popular all over the world. And this is a fair comparison. Those who use Skype will immediately be able to get up-to-date on the Multiphone. The difference between the service is that it is tied to a specific phone number and has a single account with him, from where the deduction for negotiations will be made.

Users have two connection options:

light;
full version.

Light connects immediately after registration. Its advantage is in making calls in roaming using Internet traffic. Users can download the application, or use its web version.

A few words about service activation

Registration is very similar to registration in Skype, if we consider the option of downloading the application. It is important during registration to thoroughly study the terms for users. In order to communicate with other subscribers, you need a nickname. It should be saved in the application. When registering, you provide your phone number, and in response you will receive an activation code. You should also come up with a well-secured password to log in.

As soon as the activation is carried out, the Lite mode will turn on. It is suitable for:

chat;
video calls;
voice calls.

In order to get more features, you need to connect to full version programs. Both connection and deactivation for Megafon network users are free.

"VKontakte" Vladislav Tsyplukhin said that rumors about the closure of this resource are unfounded. "This is all nonsense," he added. On his VKontakte page, Tsyplukhin also noted that "some idiotic" rumor was born, which had to be refuted. The source of these data remains unknown, but the other day the rumor about the closure of Vkontakte again spread through the media and blogs. It is reported that the social network will be closed, moreover, a specific date is indicated - March 15. The authorities will close VKontakte due to the refusal of its administration to close opposition groups: we have already written, how the leadership of "VKontakte" responded by the FSB to such a proposal .

In addition, recently the founder of the social network "VKontakte" Pavel Durov posted on his Twitter microblog a summons from the St. Petersburg prosecutor's office, where he was ordered to come to testify about the opposition groups "VKontakte", but he could not appear, because he did not have time to read ... Shortly thereafter, he sent a letter to the Lenta editorial office explaining his attitude to the situation.

There, Durov, in particular, indicated that if the service wants to preserve the domestic Internet industry, then requests to block the opposition are not applicable, including because this means giving a head start to competitors, but he is not going to become an "icon of liberalism" and considers "talk of voting , elections, rallies and citizenship<...>a form of mass entertainment, along with talking about football matches and playing Happy Farmer. "

Perhaps the panic began after rumors appeared that Russia had prepared a new bill obliging to block sites (sites "promoting the use, manufacture, sale of narcotic drugs" and "extremist materials" will also be added to the unified database of Internet threats) upon request regulatory authorities.

The Safe Internet League, together with businesses and officials, has drafted a bill obliging operators to block sites with illegal content. The project has a good purpose - the fight against child pornography, but can lead to the emergence of full-fledged Internet censorship.

However, the bill is not only about sites with child porn - sites that "promote the use, manufacture, sale of narcotic drugs" and "extremist materials" will also be included in the unified database of Internet threats. Operators will be obliged to block such sites “on the basis of the decision of the federal body in charge of supervision in the field of communications to include the site in a single database of Internet threats, that is, Roskomnadzor.

The league starts its fight against child porn with Yandex. The search engine refuses to remove the corresponding images and links from the search results, explains Davydov: “We contacted Yandex with a request to filter such content, but the company refused, citing the fact that there is no corresponding law in Russia.”

We managed to agree with the search engine, but the social network "In contact with" she herself pledged to regularly clean the content, and the Mail.ru pages are moderated by special people.

Last weekend, VKontakte users vigorously discussed the closure of the social network.

The cause of the panic was a letter posted on his wall by one of the users of the social network. He wrote that on Monday, VKontakte will be completely deleted, and all user data will become publicly available. “Therefore, all users of this social network it is recommended to place such a "privacy notice" on your pages ... This communiqué notifies VKontakte that disclosure, copying, distribution of my personal information or any other illegal actions in relation to my profile on the social network is strictly prohibited, "one of the users wrote.

End of VKontakte

After that, the mass distribution of the message on the social network began with the hashtags # ReturnDurov # vk_zhivi # VkNeStanet.

Many argue that all this is a lie and someone's stupid joke. Moreover, such messages about the closure of the network have been circulating for several years. In addition, according to users, VKontakte is a profitable project, so it will not be closed.

Popularity of VKontakte

VKontakte is the most popular social network in Russia. Its monthly audience in March 2015 amounted to 53 million 600 thousand people. In second place are Odnoklassniki (38 million 700 thousand users), in third place is Facebook with 23 million 700 thousand users, and in fourth place is Moi Mir (23 million 700 thousand people).

They appeared in Krasnodar and quickly spread in specific circles. The story is as follows: elections to the State Duma were held and one beloved party did not like the way "fair" elections were covered in social networks. On Channel One they tell one thing, and in VKontakte they honestly write about cases of arbitrariness.

Is it true that Vkontakte will be closed?

Well, work has begun to curb unnecessary activity. Under the pretext of fighting piracy, they will first close the audio recordings, then take away the video, then start blocking groups and public places under the pretext of fighting extremism and child suicide. By the fall of 2017, little will remain of VK. The final closure of Vkontakte should take place before the presidential elections, that is, by 2018.

Experts were skeptical about the news. The fact is that Pavel Durov, with whom the special services could not agree on the closure of opposition groups, left the company long ago and now Vkontakte is controlled by a pro-government oligarch, so no one - everything will be blocked quickly and quietly. Secondly, there are much more Vkontakte users than citizens who go to the polls and the closure of the social network can turn into really massive discontent.

Vk will be closed for Ukrainians

The Ukrainian authorities believe that the Russian social network Vkontakte threatens the country's security. The arguments are simple and logical: Ukrainians are spreading dossiers on themselves, but they are stored on the territory of another state, which the Ukrainian authorities consider hostile. Do you need to solve the problem? Necessary! Vkontakte in Ukraine will be closed. Sooner or later, it will happen.

Is it true that VKontakte will be closed on Monday?

No it is not true. The blow will be delivered at the most unexpected and inopportune moment, when the contacts will sleep peacefully. Woke up, lo and behold: and Vkontakte bye-bye. Where to upload your shit photos? Where to write all that nonsense with which Kontaktik was filled for many years? Can you imagine the drama? The heart in a contactee may not stand it.

Vkontakte has already been closed in Ukraine

On April 28, 2017, the National Security and Defense Council decided to block Vkontakte on the territory of Ukraine. Poroshenko signed the decree. The document prescribes blocking access to VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Mail.Ru and Yandex. Thus, Ukrainian contacts go to the forest.

Did you know that there are about but none of them give a 100% guarantee? Vkontakte is invincible!
It gets harder every year. Why do you think? The answer will surprise you.

German Klimenko laughed at the ridiculous spam attack on users of the popular Russian social network

March 6, 2017 could have become a day of mourning for users of the popular Russian social network VKontakte (since the end of February, a message has been circulating on the resource about its imminent blocking), but the next closure of the site was not destined to happen. Realnoe Vremya decided to investigate the situation and collected five facts about the problems of the popular social network.

Why won't March 6 be a "day of mourning"?

Since the end of February, a message about the imminent closure of the resource has been circulating on the VKontakte social network, and on the eve of the publication with the same content, spammers fasted at a rate of once a minute. In the test of the post, a specific closing date is called - March 6, 2017 - and the person in charge who made an official statement is Herman Klimenko, who, according to the authors of the message, is the press secretary of VK (in fact, Klimenko is an adviser to the President of the Russian Federation on the Internet).

German Klimenko has already commented on the situation to the press, saying that everyone is openly laughing at this message, and he is not a spokesman for the social network, which, by the way, will not be closed.

Note that even such a clumsy presentation of the message could cause a small surge of panic and increased attention to the news about the closure of the resource. At the same time, users of the social network were frightened by the fact that after blocking VK, their personal information will be in the public domain, and in order to avoid this, they need to copy this message to their wall.

Accidents in VK data centers and regular failures

Rumors about the upcoming closure of VK were notably fueled by a large-scale disruption in the social network that occurred at the beginning of this week and lasted for several hours. But it is worth noting that VKontakte, like any other resource, is at risk of being inaccessible for a number of technical reasons.

In general, in the history of "VK" there are several major failures in work. One of the most notable happened on July 25, 2010: the site remained inaccessible for more than four hours due to a power outage in the data center. Another failure took place on July 27, 2014: then, as a result of an accident in one of the data centers, the site was also inaccessible to users.

On August 4, 2015, the VKontakte website remained unavailable for more than two hours. According to the company's press service, the cause of the problem was a physical break in the cable connecting the data centers. Later it was reported that the cause of the failure was "a fatal coincidence of a number of circumstances." The increased incidence of VKontakte's unavailability led to the popularization of the hashtag #vkzhivi on Twitter.

Is Pavel Durov to blame for everything?

In addition to the hashtag, the opinion spread among users that regular failures began exactly after Pavel Durov left the company. On April 1, 2014, on his VKontakte page, Durov announced that he was leaving the post of CEO of the company.

In his address, the creator of the social network claimed that in 2013 his freedom of action as CEO of VKontakte was greatly reduced. He lamented that the principles underlying the social network had become more and more difficult to defend and formal positions in the current conditions were not interesting to him. Experts are confident that in this way Durov hinted at serious pressure from the security forces, demanding the closure of the opposition VK groups, censorship and access to personal data of users.

Durov sold his shares to a well-known media manager and former to CEO MegaFon to Ivan Tavrin, and the entire social network was taken over by Mail.Ru Group.

Among users, the opinion spread that regular interruptions in work began exactly after Pavel Durov left the company. Photo aif.by

Not the first "closure" in 10 years of the existence of the social network

The upcoming "closure" of "VKontakte" will not be the first and obviously not the last in the history of the social network. In 2009, the resource was supposed to be closed by a court decision; in March 2012, Pavel Durov himself allegedly stated that "his brainchild will stop working, since it has become too difficult to manage the site."

In the vastness of VK there is even a thematic group called “Maybe it’s true, maybe not ...“ VKontakte ”will be closed”, in which, once a year or half a year, panic messages appear that the social network will be closed.

A hotbed of fakes

VKontakte is a fairly large-scale hotbed of fake news not only about its closure. Like any social network, fictional stories of varying degrees are disseminated through VK, which, sometimes without preliminary verification, get into the media and are perceived by the population as verified facts.

Similar cases periodically occur in the Tatarstan press: literally last year, a local newspaper spread the news that during a fire at one of the industrial facilities of the Republic of Tatarstan, a huge piece of concrete ceiling flew away from the explosion towards the penal colony and, when it fell, demolished the watch tower with a submachine gunner. broke through the fence and the restricted area, and the prisoners allegedly fled wherever they looked.
