More detailed information can be obtained from the official portal. MegaFon's Home Region is an undeniably convenient service for active people, which allows you to significantly save on communications.

The subscription fee is charged in the amount of 2 rubles per day. This is a very convenient option, since you don’t have to spend extra money when you are in another area.
How to connect “Home Region”?
A client who has traveled outside of his home country home network, can add the option just before entering another region. To do this, you can use one of three methods:
- Dial a simple combination *437*55#
- Use the Service Guide system. It works via request *105# . Follow the on-screen instructions to connect successfully
- Contact your operator. To do this, call 0500 and when the auto-informer answers you, press 0
It is worth saying that when using the latter option, you can consult about the connection for the desired region. To check if the service works for you, dial *437*55*0# .
How to delete a service?
It makes sense to disable the option after leaving the region. There are two options for this:

When studying the service offerings of different mobile operators in Russia, you will definitely come across the concept of home region. It is basic for almost all mobile communication companies operating throughout the country. The amount of payment for calls, mobile messages and other services provided often depends on it.
The introduction of the concept of home region is associated with the vast territory of the country, for which dense coverage must be provided mobile communications much more difficult than for regions with high population density.
What does "home region" mean?
As you know, the territory of Russia is divided into administrative regions, which are separate subjects of the Federation and have the right of relative self-government. Mobile operators open their branches in each region, and the branches have very broad independence, including setting their own prices for communication services. Of course, the cost of some service in this case may differ from the cost of the same service in a neighboring region in one direction or another.
When setting prices and tariffs, marketers take into account a number of factors to ensure that communication services within the region are accessible to the population living there and competitive. At the same time, low intraregional rates are usually compensated by more substantial charges for calls made to other regions of the country. If a subscriber travels outside of his home region for some time, the intra-Russian roaming mode with its own pricing policy is activated for him.
From the point of view of an ordinary subscriber "home region" is considered to be the one in which his SIM card was purchased and the intraregional tariff connected to it is valid.
What is a home region in MTS?
The concept of home region works in MTS as follows: this is the region in which you bought your MTS SIM card and use the intraregional favorable tariff. At the same time, you can call other regions without any additional settings.
To make calls to other regions more accessible, you can add an option to your tariff called "Profitable intercity", which will make it possible to call throughout Russia for only 3 rubles per minute with a monthly fee of 40 rubles per month. If your tariff includes a package of prepaid calls to other regions, the option will begin to operate only after the package minutes have been used up. “Favorable intercity” is connected as follows:
- V "Personal account";
- via command *111*903# from your phone;
- by sending SMS to a short number 111 , where in the text field it is written 903 – for connection "Profitable intercity", 9030 – to disable the option.
What is Beeline's home region?
If you permanently live in one of the regions of Russia - for example, in the Moscow region - and bought a SIM card there, MO becomes Beeline’s home region for you. Within this region, according to your tariff, calls and SMS are cheaper than calls outside your home region. At the same time, you can make communication more accessible and profitable for yourself, for example, in which a large package of prepaid call minutes with other cities will be reserved.
Beeline has many offers for its subscribers that will make communication less expensive if you often have to call other regions or travel outside your home region and talk while roaming.
What is Megafon's home region?
Megafon was one of the first to introduce the concept of home region into use. Today, this operator in all regions has uniform rules and tariffs for those who find themselves outside their home region or call a person located in another region. For those who love to travel, or those who often need to travel around the country for business reasons, Megafon offers a number of advantageous options:
- "Make yourself at home"— calls in roaming at “home” rates with a monthly fee of 15 rubles per day, to connect, dial *570*1#
- "All Russia"— any conversation outside the home region is charged at 3 rubles per minute, connection by command *548*1#
- “Moscow feels like home” for those who often travel to Moscow from their region, the tariffs for calls to Moscow Region are the same as in your home region, with a daily subscription fee of 7 rubles, connected by the command *105*353#
- "Trave without worries"— by paying 39 rubles per day, you get 30 minutes of calls to any phones in Russia, connection by command *186#
- "Crimea"— with a monthly fee of 15 rubles per day, a minute of a call from Crimea will cost 5 rubles, connection by command *105*1037*1# from your phone.
What is a home region in Tele2?
Today, Tele2 branches do not exist in all regions of Russia. If you come to such a region, you use the Beeline, MTS and Win mobile networks for calls. Roaming numbers, i.e. outside the home region, calls are dialed using the numbers +7 and 8.
If you often travel around the country, activate the service "Zero everywhere", and all conversations, without taking into account the territorial location of your interlocutor, within Russia will cost you 2 rubles per minute. The service is activated by the command *143*21# and is available on all tariffs except “Orange”, subject to payment of 3 rubles monthly fee per day.
Reading the description of tariff plans and services, we often come across the concept “Home Region”. In this article we will analyze this term, what it includes and what to do with the knowledge gained.
Let's start with the fact that Megafon was one of the first to introduce this concept. The operator has several branches in Russia, which are completely independent of each other and can set their own prices for communication services. When setting prices, marketers take into account both the solvency of the population and competition in the market. Here are all these branches:
- Megafon-Moscow;
- Megafon-Center;
- Megafon North-West;
- Megafon-Volga region;
- Megafon-Caucasus;
- Megafon-Far East;
- Megafon-Ural;
- Megafon-Siberia.
Anyone who is familiar with the geography of their native country can independently divide administrative units into branches.
The question arises: is the home region just the connection area or the entire branch. We ask them also because for a long time The entire macrogion was considered the home region. For example, residents of the Kirov region could go to the Komi Republic and there would be no roaming. Megafon was the only operator who had such generosity.
Home region is a subject of the Russian Federation in whose territory the subscriber has concluded an agreement for the provision of communication services.
From this we conclude that at the moment home region is only the region or region where the SIM card was purchased. If you travel outside your region, then this is already intranet roaming and prices will be appropriate.
Why might we need this knowledge? First of all, this is useful for those who often travel around the country, because roaming prices are not at all the same as at home and you can get a huge bill from a vacation or business trip without knowing the boundaries of your home region. Let's consider special cases when knowledge about the home region will not hurt. Rarely, but we have encountered the fact that people living on the borders of regions are intercepted base station your region, then the base station of the neighboring region. For the operator, they constantly find themselves in roaming, although they have never actually left the apartment. Another special case is MNP. One of the rules of the transition is that portation is carried out only with SIM cards of the home region, so before writing an application, it would be a good idea to check the connection location. This can be done on the Megafon website https://moscow.megafon.ru/mnp/ or on the Roskomnadzor website.
How to save money
As we have already said, the main problem associated with the concept of “Home Region” is roaming, because when you travel outside the connection region, you pay more. Now we will tell you how you can save money while traveling. You can find more detailed information about services in our other articles; here we will collect only basic information.
Pay attention to the tariff plans of the “Turn on!” line. Many of them operate throughout Russia. By activating such a tariff, you will receive a package of SMS, minutes, gigabytes, unlimited messengers and social media , and also unlimited traffic, channels and films. Moreover, you can call throughout Russia. The concept of intercity, as well as roaming, will cease to exist. In our opinion, a very convenient solution. The only drawback is the fairly high subscription fee. It will be justified only if you take advantage of all the benefits of the tariff plan, and not just make a couple of calls a day. The following varieties of “Turn On!” are currently available. with the territory covered by all of Russia:
