How to permanently disable auto-dialing on MegaFon on Android: all methods

Function auto-dial on MegaFon can be useful if you often call busy numbers. But for many users it becomes a source of irritation: the phone automatically repeats the call attempt after 30-60 seconds, wastes money on unsuccessful calls and interferes in situations when the subscriber does not specifically pick up the phone. The problem is especially pressing for owners of smartphones on Androidwhere communication settings are sometimes duplicated both in the system menus and in the operator's application.

You can disable auto-dial on MegaFon in several ways - from simple USSD commands to deep settings in the engineering menu. In this article we will analyze all current methods (including hidden ones), explain why the function can turn on itself, and give recommendations for checking the tariff for the presence of forced auto-dial. If you are tired of annoying repeated calls, read on.

1. What is auto-dial on MegaFon and why is it turned on? MegaFon has the default function

Auto redial (or auto-repeat call) is a phone service that automatically retries a call if the subscriber is busy or does not answer. On MegaFon the default function disabled, but it can be activated in several cases:

✅ Self-connection via USSD command *111*44# or in your personal account. Often users turn it on accidentally, trying to set up other services.

✅ Tariff options. Some MegaFon business tariffs or corporate packages include auto-dial by default. For example, in tariffs for legal entities, the function may be part of the “Extended Communication” package.

✅ Android firmware update. After updating the system, the network settings may be reset and auto-redial will be turned on automatically (especially on smartphones Samsung, Xiaomi and Huawei).

✅ Failure to operate SIM cards. If the card is damaged or incorrectly activated, the operator can forcefully enable some services, including auto-redial.

The function works according to the following principle:

• 📞 You call the subscriber, but he does not answer or is busy.
• ⏱️ After 30-60 seconds (depending on the tariff), the phone automatically repeats the call.
• 💰 For each repeated call, money is debited according to the tariff (even if the subscriber never answered).

Important: auto redial doesn't work for emergency numbers (112, 101, 102, etc.) and some MegaFon service numbers (for example, 0500).

2. How to disable auto-dial via USSD command (the fastest way)

The simplest and most universal method is to use a USSD code. It works on all MegaFon tariffs, regardless of the phone model and version Android. It is enough to enter one command:

Disable auto-dial:

Enter in the dialer:

*111*44*0#

Press the call button and wait for an SMS response from MegaFon with confirmation.

Checking the status of auto-dial:

To find out whether the function is active, send the command:

*111*44#

The response message will indicate: "Auto redial: ON" or "Auto redial: OFF".

⚠️ Attention: If after entering the command you receive an error "Service unavailable", this may mean:

• 🔄 Your tariff does not support auto-dial management via USSD (relevant for some corporate packages).
• 📵 The SIM card is inactive or blocked.
• 🔧 The phone is in Airplane mode or the mobile network is turned off.

In such cases, try alternative methods from the following sections.

Make sure that the mobile the network is on

Check the balance (on some tariffs the service is paid)

Turn off the VPN (can block USSD commands)

Reboot the phone if the command did not work-->

3. Disabling through the My MegaFon application

The official application of the operator allows you to manage services in a few clicks. This method is convenient if you do not want to remember USSD commands or prefer a visual interface.

Instructions:

1. Open the application "My MegaFon" (you can download it in Google Play).
2. Authorize by phone number (you will receive an SMS with a confirmation code).
3. Go to the section "Services" → "Service Management".
4. Find in the list "Auto redial" (can be called "Auto call redial").
5. Move the slider to "Off" or press "Disable".
6. Confirm the action via SMS (if required).

⚠️ Attention: In some versions of the application, the section with services is hidden behind the tab "More" (three dots in the upper right corner If you do not find the auto dialer in the main). menu, use the keyword search "dial".

Advantages of this method:

• 🔍 All active services that can be disabled at the same time.
• 📱 Works even if USSD commands are blocked.
• 📊 There is a history of changes (you can check when and by whom the function was enabled).

Disadvantages:

• ⚠️ Requires installation official application (occupies ~50 MB of memory).
• ⏳ Sometimes there are delays when applying changes (up to 5 minutes).

What to do if the application does not have a shutdown button?

If there is no auto-dial option in the "Services" section, this may mean:

1. The service is controlled only via USSD (try the command *111*44*0#).

2. Your tariff does not support self-disabling (relevant for corporate clients).

3. The application is outdated - update it in Google Play or reinstall it.

4. Setting up auto-dial in the Android menu (for some models)

On some smartphones Android auto dialer is controlled not only at the operator level, but also in the system settings. This is relevant for devices with customized shells: MIUI (Xiaomi), One UI (Samsung), EMUI (Huawei). In pure Android (Pixel, Motorola) there is usually no such menu.

Where to look for settings:

• Xiaomi (MIUI): Settings → SIM cards and mobile networks → Call settings → Auto repeat.
• Samsung (One UI): Phone → Three dots (menu) → Settings → Additional functions → Auto redial.
• Huawei (EMUI): Settings → Wireless networks → Mobile network → Call settings → Auto redial.

If your phone has such an item, disable it this will prevent duplication of functions at the operator and device levels. Otherwise, auto dialing may work even after disconnecting via MegaFon.

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware (especially Xiaomi) after updating the system, the call settings are reset. Check this section after every major Android update!

Phone model	Path to auto-dial settings	Notes
Samsung Galaxy S23/A54	Phone → ⋮ → Settings → Add. functions → Auto redial	Can be called "Auto redial"
Xiaomi Redmi Note 12	Settings → SIM cards → Call settings → Auto redial	Only for SIM1 (main slot)
Huawei P60 Pro	Settings → Mobile network → Call settings → Auto redial	Not available on European firmware
Google Pixel 7	No built-in settings	Controlled only by the operator

5. Checking the tariff for forced auto-dialing

If you have disabled auto-dialing in all ways, but it continues to work, the problem may be in the tariff. Some MegaFon packages (especially corporate or old ones) include mandatory auto-repeat of callswhich cannot be disabled independently.

How to check:

1. Send a USSD command *105*0# —this will display information about your tariff.
2. Call the MegaFon hotline 0500 and check whether auto-dialing is included in your package.
3. Check the contract (if the tariff is corporate) - sometimes the function is specified as a mandatory option.

🔹 Tariffs with forced auto-dial (as of 2026):

• 🏢 "Business M" and "Business L" (for legal entities persons).
• 📞 "Super Zero unlimited" (old version, until 2023).
• 🌍 "MegaFon-Tour" (for roaming).

If your tariff is on this list, you can disable auto dialing only through the operator:

• 📞 Call 0500 and ask to disable service (you will need a passport and a code word).
• 🏦 Contact the MegaFon salon with your passport.
• 💬 Write to the support chat in the application "My MegaFon".

6. Resetting network settings (if all else fails)

In rare cases, auto-dialer continues to work due to a failure in the mobile network settings. This can happen after:

• 🔄 Changing the SIM card.
• 📱 Android firmware updates.
• 🌐 Manually changing APN (access points).

How to reset network settings:

1. Open Settings → System → Reset → Reset mobile network settings.
2. Confirm the action (you will need to enter a PIN code or pattern).
3. Restart your phone.
4. After turning on, check the auto-redial command *111*44#.

⚠️ Attention: Reset will delete:

• 📶 Saved Wi-Fi networks (you will have to enter passwords again).
• 📱 Bluetooth device settings.
• 🔄 APN profiles (usually restored automatically).

If after the reset the auto-dialer is still active, the problem is definitely on the operator's side - contact MegaFon support.

What to do if the reset did not help?

In 1% of cases, auto-dial can be “hardwired” into the phone’s firmware (relevant for some Chinese brands). Try:

1. Update Android to the latest version.

2. Install an alternative application for calls (for example, Google Phone).

3. Contact the service center for flashing.

7. Alternative methods of blocking auto-dial

If standard methods do not work, you can use workarounds:

1. Using third-party applications for calls

Applications like Truecaller or Google Phone have their own call settings and can ignore operator auto-dial. Install one of them and make it the main one:

1. Download Google Phone from Google Play.
2. Open Settings → Applications → Default applications → Phone application.
3. Select Google Phone instead of the standard application.

2. advanced)

On some smartphones, auto dialing is controlled through the engineering menu. Be careful —wrong changes can disrupt the network!

Instructions for Samsung:

1. Enter in dialer ##4636##.
2. Go to "Phone information".
3. Find the item "Automatic Redial" and disable it.

3. Replacing a SIM card

If auto-dial is tied to your SIM card (for example, due to an old tariff), order a new one at a MegaFon salon. When replacing, please specify that you need a card without linked services.
