The subscriber of the operator "Megafon" has a communication restriction: what should I do if I set the ban?

Often you can face a situation where you can not call your relatives and friends on the numbers of Megafon. "Communication restriction is established" - a similar message from the automatic system after dialing means that it is impossible to talk with the subscriber at the moment. With what it can be connected and how to be in that case, we will tell in this article.

When can the "Megaphone" communication limit be set?

The impossibility of making or accepting a certain type of calls in 100% of cases is due to the fact that the user has activated a corresponding ban on the number. To do this, the subscriber could either independently, by entering the combination of characters on the phone's keyboard, or through the customer service specialist. An important point is the fact that the restriction of calls is made by a support employee only after confirming the identity of the owner of the number. Thus, the possibility is excluded that a communication restriction will be established. What does it mean? "Megaphone" allows you to carry out any actions with a number only to its owner.

Why is the MegaFon connection limited?

The question of why it is impossible to contact a certain subscriber or take an incoming call is most often the case with people who have never encountered the "Call Barring" service. With its help, you can restrict the reception or execution of calls of a certain type. To whom it can be useful? This service will be a real rescue for those subscribers who are going on holiday to another country and at this time want to exclude the possibility of receiving calls. Since the cost of incoming and outgoing calls is high in roaming, this desire is quite justified. You can also connect it in other situations, when you need to suspend some kind of connection. For example, this may be relevant for parents who want to avoid writing off money for sending messages to paid numbers by their child (a similar ban can also be installed via a mobile phone).

Description and conditions of the service "Call barring"

In the list of any mobile operator there are a number of services that are basic and provided to subscribers free of charge. Megafon is no exception. The service we are considering, with which you can set a ban on certain types of communication, is included in such a list. Activation of the restriction can be made independently by the subscriber, by entering appropriate commands or by a specialist of the support service. At the same time, it should be taken into account that the fee for connecting the service through the employees of Megafon company may be charged. The restriction of communication can be established on the following types:

• Outgoing calls (local calls, calls within the country) - code 33;
• Incoming call (all calls) - code 35;
• Outgoing international communication - code 331;
• Outgoing communication in roaming (blocking calls to all numbers except Russian) - code 332;
• Incoming connection in roaming (all calls) - code 351.

To join a ban, the following conditions must be met:

• The "redirection" service is not activated on the subscriber's number (if it is available, first disable it and then set the ban, the exception is the case if call forwarding was set by the operator);
• Only one restriction can be set for each type of communication at a time (that is, only one prohibition can act on incoming and outgoing communications at the same time, setting the second cancels the previous one).

Activating the communication ban

The service is available to all Megafon subscribers. The restriction of communication can be established at any time, the ban is also disabled as necessary. To manage the service, the client will need a special password (for all subscribers, the default is set to -0000) and codes for each type of communication, for which it is possible to activate the ban (they are listed).

To enter a restriction, you must enter the following command on the phone * service code * password for managing the service # . You can also set barring for a number of certain types of calls (for example, for SMS messages - code 16, for receiving and sending faxes, etc.). In this case, the command to set the ban will be slightly changed: * service code * password for service control * ring type # . Activation of the restriction occurs in 10-15 minutes.

Disabling the service

Is it necessary to apply for deactivation to the specialists of Megafon? A connection restriction is set, how can I disable it? Similar questions may arise for subscribers who need to resume the provision of services by removing the corresponding prohibition. Disable the ban service is as simple as connecting it. To do this, just enter the following combination on the phone: # service code * password for managing the service # . This command can also be used to deactivate calls bans (you can see the full list of call types on the official website of Megafon).

Change the password for service management

The password that is used by default to enable / disable the ban can be changed by the user. This will protect the phone from unauthorized attempts to control the service by other people. To enter a new password, use the combination: ** 03 * 330 * current password * new password # . The validity period is unlimited (until a new sequence of numbers is entered). However, if you enter a combination for changing the password to make an error three times, then the use of the call barring setting service will be unavailable. Removal of the lock will be possible only when you contact the office of the SIM card holder with a passport.

Conclusion

If, when calling to the number "Megaphone" says: "Communication restriction is established", then with a high probability it can be said that the subscriber has activated the "Call barring" service. The SIM card holder can independently know about the availability of such a restriction through the technical support specialist (at 8-800-550-05-00). The service can be managed by the subscriber himself or through the support specialist. After deactivation of the ban, it will again be possible to use the services of communication on the Megafon number. A restricted connection can be established only by the owner of the number, which has a personal password for managing this service. It is recommended that you change the default sequence of numbers to ensure the security of your number.
