Switch to another operator with the number saved: Megafon, Beeline, MTS, Tele2, Rostelecom

When your mobile operator for some reason does not suit, and you do not want to lose a lot of contacts, you can use such a service as switching to another operator while saving the number. Are there any features of this procedure, or is everything done very quickly and without much effort on the part of the subscriber? Let's try to understand.

How's it going?

Let's start by clarifying a few points about how to switch to another operator while saving the number. First, we introduce such concepts as the donor operator (this is the one who does not like the subscriber) and the recipient operator (the new operator of the subscriber). In order to change the operator, you first need to write an application in the company where you want to go, which will create a basis for concluding a new contract for servicing your SIM card. The recipient operator then informs his predecessor about the incoming application for the change of the mobile network, and if there are no circumstances that could prevent the transfer to another operator while maintaining the number, the donor stops servicing the SIM card, and the number of the new card , Which the subscriber received from the recipient, changes to the claimed one.

The procedure itself, as promised, will take no more than thirty days (taking into account all the approvals), the maximum time for which the subscriber can remain unconnected after the previous operator refused it and "took" a new one - three hours. If, for any reason, it is decided to refuse the "Switch to another operator with number saving" service, then before the recipient operator approves the application, you can write an application for the refusal of the transfer. The number of operations for changing the operator is not limited, as is the frequency of these operations.

Causes of delays

Yes, there are certain circumstances, in connection with which the transition can be delayed. Firstly, on the personal account, the donor operator can not have a debt - until the subscriber redeems it, the old operator will not let it go. Moreover, if you have several numbers from one operator, and you want to refuse one from one, then you will have to pay off debts on all the remaining ones. Positive balance on the donor account is not transferred to the recipient. Problems with payment through terminals will not arise - the database of the transferred numbers, which was already mentioned above, fixes the membership of the number to another operator.

Migration Features

This service is available both for individuals and legal entities - operators do not make any difference between subscribers. Moreover, there is no difference what number you want to transfer - elite bronze / gold / silver (with a certain number of repeating figures) or quite a standard - pay for it will only have a hundred rubles. The law on the transfer of numbers concerns absolutely all operators, regardless of whether they are regional or all-Russian, but you can change the number only within the boundaries of one area or region.

When the subscriber has issued an application for the transfer of the number, for some time he will be in the office of the donor operator and only after all the checks will pass to the recipient. At each stage of the process, that is, reviewing the application, approving it, rejecting one operator and accepting the other, the subscriber will receive notifications. There are no special features in the service of the "newcomer" - he will obey the rules of the operator-recipient, however, initially there will be some restrictions - the new subscriber will be able to use only calls, SMS messages and Internet access, but soon all available functionality will open. If, for some reason, the subscriber decides to terminate the contract with the recipient, then his number will be returned to the previous operator.

It should be noted that if a subscriber uses a phone purchased in the network of a certain operator, that is, programmed to work with a particular card, there is a possibility that he will refuse to work while moving the number and in principle will not accept the new SIM card.

"Megaphone"

The transition to another operator with the saving of the number "Megaphone" allows without problems. If you want to join this mobile network, you first need to leave a request for this operation - there is no difference, online or at the operator's office.

With the online application, after it is reviewed, Megafon employees will contact you and deliver documents necessary for signing a new contract and a new SIM card. At the same stage, a tariff plan is selected within this network and a payment of one hundred rubles for the operation is withdrawn. When filling out an application in the office, the service fee is charged immediately, as well as the issuance of a new card with the already selected tariff plan. Then, during the period from one week to six months, the transfer of the number to the Megafon network will happen, which you will be additionally notified with a message.

MTS

Do not prohibit the transfer to another operator while maintaining the MTS number. Here, however, has its own characteristics. The application is filled only in the office of the operator, you must have a passport with you, if the number is registered to you, or a power of attorney from the owner of the number - you have to confirm that you have the right to carry out such actions.

Next, you pay for this transfer and choose a new tariff already on the MTS network, at the same stage you get a temporary number, which then, after all the approvals, will be replaced by the transferred one. Next few days mobile operators get to settle all formalities for technical issues, and the day before the expected transfer, MTS sends you a message indicating the exact time of the end of service for your card from the old operator - at this time you need to insert a SIM card of the recipient into the device.

"Beeline"

The transition to another operator with the saving of the number "Beeline" allows as easily as the "Megaphone". Moreover, the very process of implementing this operation is similar to them - all the same application is either online or in the office, the same terms and the general procedure for rendering the service. The "Beeline" courier can also bring a new card and contract for its maintenance to a convenient address.

But a special advantage of this operation for new subscribers of the Beeline network, who decided to do all the necessary manipulations at the company's office, is the possibility to make an appointment for a specific time online, rather than sitting indoors waiting for their turn.

"Tele 2"

The transfer to another operator with the saving of the number "Tele2" is also welcomed. And anyway, any company will be glad to new subscribers.

The rules are the same as for other mobile operators, the only nuance is that the carry-over of the number can only take place in the company's official salons - no online or transactions with dealers.

Rostelecom

And the last mobile company, which will be pleased with the transition to another operator with the preservation of the number - "Rostelecom".

You will need to visit the sales and service center of this company, where the contract for the transfer of the number is concluded and the card with the number is issued temporary. Then the operator gives you the opportunity to pay off your debts and only then begins the transfer operation itself. Only after the transfer from your personal account these hundred rubles will be written off, then you will have an opportunity to choose a new tariff plan.
