Short-lived semi-anonymous selling prepaid-boxes MegaFon, from September registration of subscribers is mandatory. Try to understand how someone of that was better / worse, how to formalize their relationship with MegaFon, and what we are threatened with failure to register.
Promise - does not mean to marry
Formal registration procedure has always existed. It was assumed that the law-abiding person does not too lazy to fill out a registration card, add it to one of the offices of MegaFon and throw in a "qualified" box. Or even easier - the same form can be filled directly on the site. Ie registration was a formal, declarative in nature and wearing one or not binding. You can imagine how many namesakes such as "Ivan Sidorov" or "John Doe" appeared in the subscriber database MegaFon! And a lot of users do not even worried about such a conditional registration, the benefit of the lost SIM-card seamlessly restored on presentation of PUK-code, whose presence was considered sufficient proof of the rights to this contract.
Why break something that suits all?
A procedure conditional registration suit almost everyone. MegaFon has simplified procedures for sales and loneliness has taken a very attractive niche free sale in supermarkets, self-service, customers get rid of excess "headaches" and anxious waiting for dealers fill cards, passport data remained intact. Last - not least because we all remember well the appearance of a database of subscribers of one leading operator in all the markets and bazaars, as well as the shaft of the "Left" contracts, leading to withdrawals from the accounts and block the phone or on the unsuspecting respectable subscribers of the same operator. From the standpoint of compliance with administrative rules everything was more or less in the order, the subscriber was required to formally register. MegaFon's subscriber is not registered for an extremely convenient: no need to invent any "technical means" and respond to the complaint, such caller can simply disconnect the formal occasion nezaregistrirovannosti. So why did it took to break all the staged procedure, and "strain" almost a quarter of a million people? The official version - Streamlining registration procedures associated with the increased number of connections and, consequently, increasing the number of unregistered users. "
Who Benefits
Variants seen a few.
Our expensive (in terms of consumption of the budget), the competent authorities suddenly woke up, stirred and asked to make a recording of accurate and unconditional. Quite possibly, though by themselves and without provocation "authorities" wake up is extremely rare. Ie still need to search for "alarm".
Requirements of many dealers who at the time and in full receive a commission from sales of "boxes". Maybe, but highly unlikely. In this case, would introduce mandatory registration of new subscribers, but getting logged are logged long ago there was no point.
Pressure of competition (not direct, as, for example, in the form of "alarm"). It is quite possible, and for several reasons. First of all - forced to put all on an equal footing and to deprive MegaFon that a small, but still a competitive advantage. The second possible reason - a desire, too, put their boxes on the shelves of supermarkets and other places where the registration form once the purchase is impossible or difficult.
The desire of the MegaFon to protect yourself from possible trouble from the administration. Also possible. At the stage of initial accumulation abonbazy it was important to maximize ease and simplify the connection process, and now it can be a bit "tighten the screws."
Use of compulsory registration in order to turn marginally profitable, but fairly load on the network kits "UltraLight".
In fact, probably have a combination of several reasons, but one thing is certain: for the registration procedure took seriously the disappearance of the registration form from the website MegaFon is a direct proof of that.
How to "formalize relations" with elephant
Guide MegaFon strongly reiterates that, in principle, nothing has changed: some are not filled within the registration card was switched off before, only now it will make more active and, possibly, in droves. Some subscribers have already received SMS-message alerts and a timetable of registration (before September 7). Procedure:
Fill lying in a box (bag) card. If a card is lost - not terrible, blank forms have many dealers and in MegaFon offices
Pocketed passport go to the nearest office of MegaFon http://www.megafonmoscow.ru/buy/express and give the completed card or there to fill it.
You can give the completed card to one of the authorized dealers, they also have to be blank forms. On assurances of subscriber service authorized dealers are required to take registration cards, regardless of where you purchased it Light box. Just in case no harm on the second copy (copies) of the map to record the name of the salon, the name of the seller and the time - at least an incentive for the seller does not give the completed card into the trash.
Why register
Today, by and large - anything. However, it is possible that in the near future, any transactions with the account / contract will be made strictly in the presence of registration. The lucky owners retired from circulation TA (Non-Stop, Ultralite) register must uniquely valuable to lose tariff will hurt. All other subscribers to register, too, particularly not hurt, but in case of loss of SIM-cards (usually along with the stolen phone) will save money in the account balance and restore the map to save the number.
Small details
Finally, important information is strictly for readers of Mobile-Review. You can register even today, but in principle should come SMS-message. Although not a fact that will come. Even if you ignored the "offer" to sign up and your phone is locked, all is not lost. A couple of days is the fact that the drive up in one of the offices of MegaFon, present PUK-code and fill out a registration card - include the phone number and continue. But in general to such a "disaster" it is better not to bring - their own nerves more.
