Most mailings appear after the owner of the phone leaves his number with some organization and agrees to receive messages from them. Sometimes the client allows his contact to be transferred to other companies, which leads to even more mailings.

As is often the case with advertising, most of the messages in the customer mailing list are not only uninteresting, but rather annoying. Especially when, instead of the expected message from a loved one, another advertising brochure from the company arrives.

There are two solutions to this problem:

1. Disable advertising messages.
2. Disable the newsletter completely.

The second option is more popular. Let's see how to do this in practice.

What it is

But first, let’s find out what our current needs are? Knowing this, you can understand whether you need them or not. Maybe you can do without them completely? USSD requests from Velcom, like any mobile operator, are nothing more than a means of subscriber self-service.

With their help, you can control your phone balance, check and change the tariff plan on your SIM card, perform various functions, as well as disable and activate certain services and options. The main advantage of such combinations is that they are free and can be activated at any time of the day or night. The main thing is to know what exactly you need.

Internet subscription - anyone can get caught

All three operators have an active “Internet subscription” system - the ability to connect a paid service through a third-party website on the Internet for 20 - 30 kopecks per day (about 4 - 6 rubles per month). You can subscribe to dating, erotic videos, games or movies - we didn’t dare check all of them.

The problem is that you can stumble upon “subscription activator” links completely by accident. You may inadvertently click on a banner or misspell the address of a popular service - and a paid subscription like “Airportal” or “Prank Portal” will be added on its own and start debiting money.

Balance

Perhaps it’s worth starting with the main function - this is a USSD balance request and all the commands that will help you control the funds in your SIM card account. There are not so many of them, but there are some special ones among them.

For example, a balance request is made using the combination *100#. At the end of each dial, you need to click on the “Call” button. In response, you receive a message about the status of your SIM card account, and the result is displayed directly on the screen.

USSD requests from Velcom allow you to easily change the tariff payment system. To work without prepayment, you need to dial *145#. If you want to register some unconfirmed request, then *141*1# will help here. Basically, these are all useful commands for managing your account. We continue to study Velcom USSD requests further.

Instructions for the Plus package

In the Plus package, the service provides more functionality: delivery of fax and voice messages to e-mail. The mailbox address can be indicated in the ISSA, as well as in the company’s proprietary service centers in the format of a special application.

Activation/deactivation of “Plus” is carried out in the following ways:

1. Sending a USSD request - *441*2#.
2. Contacting the Velcom help desk using access codes - 410 and 411.
3. Submitting an application to disable/enable at the company center.

Rates

It's no secret that using these commands, any subscriber can change their tariff plan. Each offer has its own combination. You can find out complete information about this on the operator’s official website. After all, Velcom has many tariffs. It would take a very long time to list all the USSD commands for connecting them. So please check with your operator at this time.

Instead, we will try to learn universal USSD requests from Velcom. The tariff plan that you are currently connected to can be found out using *141*2*1#. In addition, the subscriber can receive his phone number by dialing *147#. Information about the Internet tariff plan is displayed after dialing *141*2*3*1#. Everything is easy and simple. In some cases, you receive an SMS message with all the information you requested, but often the data is displayed directly on the phone display.

Additional services

Now a little about the interesting capabilities of our today's operator. Velcom also has its own USSD requests for them. “Favorite number”, for example, is added using *141*3*3#. After this, you can add this or that subscriber to the appropriate list.

Additionally, note that you can also enable some interesting and useful features using our commands today. For example, you can connect the Internet, MMS, and security to your phone with one single request. With its help, you will also receive all the information about the mobile Internet that is available on the SIM card. To do this, dial *135# on your mobile phone and send a request for processing.

Sometimes you want to talk while roaming. USSD requests "Velcom" allow all subscribers to quickly connect similar ones (international) is activated using *141*3*2*1#, and "International calls" can be activated by dialing the combination *141*3*1*1#. It turns out that without outside interference, at any time, everyone is able to activate the services of profitable calls on a mobile phone abroad.

Disabling Voka TV

Voka TV is a service that provides subscribers who have installed a special application on their phone with the opportunity to use it as a TV or cinema. All sessions and broadcasts are available around the clock.

The service can be used by individuals and legal entities located on the territory of Belarus and who have entered into an agreement with Welk for the provision of communication services.

How to turn off Voka TV on Velcom:

• in the mobile application in the “Subscriptions” tab;
• directly from the voka.tv website.

A notification that the Voka TV service on Velcom has been disabled will be sent to the subscriber’s number via SMS message. You should use the services of mobile operators as carefully as possible to avoid unnecessary expenses and connect only what you really need. To do this, it is enough to take into account the recommendations and instructions given in this material.

Services

Don’t forget that Velcom USSD requests have one more feature. And it applies not only to this operator, but to everyone in general. These commands make it possible to enable/disable certain additional service packages and services. What can help us when communicating?

Let's say, the “500 SMS” option package. To do this, you must type *119# from your phone. Please note that the request itself is free. But to connect this or that option you will have to pay according to the tariff. All available settings (Internet and MMS are included here) are received after sending *135*0#, and “Mobile Internet” is activated by the command *135*1#. As you can see, there is nothing difficult about this.

It is also worth paying attention to somewhat non-standard services. Velcom offers its clients. Oddly enough, it connects without problems using the USSD request *200*2#. Melofon is another service that subscribers often pay attention to. And it is activated through the combination *424#. In principle, these are all quite popular services that you can connect to.

What devices does it work on?

You can watch videos on:

• mobile devices - on a phone, tablet;
• computer and TV;
• Xiaomi Mi Box, Redbox Mini set-top boxes and TVs from Sharp, Sony, Philips running Android TV or Apple TV.

To watch your favorite programs and films, you must log in to the voka.tv website.

If a standard contract for the provision of communication services has been concluded with the subscriber, then no traffic is wasted at all when watching videos. If videos are viewed directly on the company’s website, then no packages are charged, except MEGOGO.

You can use the Voka application both in Velcom networks and in the networks of other providers in Belarus. When viewing any content on the networks of other providers, traffic is paid according to the tariffs of the companies that provide Internet access.

If a subscriber uses Voka service traffic of more than 10 GB over the course of a month, then the speed of watching videos on the network is limited, but access to the Voka service remains.

The television viewing service is not available if certain services are partially blocked or if communication is completely blocked. Viewing is also limited when the subscriber is disconnected from communication; in these cases, payment for services is not charged.

Help and inquiries

The last point we will consider is sending “homeless people”, as well as receiving reference information on a SIM card. Velcom allows you to do all this using certain USSD commands.

So, for example, anyone can request a call back (send a “homeless person”) for free. Dial *131*friend's number# and send the command for processing. Another Velcom subscriber will receive a free message from you asking you to call back. Sometimes this feature is very useful.

The balance of free SMS, MMS, minutes and Internet traffic also has to be checked from time to time. In this situation, another self-service command will help. It looks like *100*1#. If you want to know the entire list of paid services connected to a mobile number, contact *141*2*2#.

Do not forget that the full list of USSD commands is quite diverse. Sometimes you want to quickly scan through it and select the self-service feature you want. Anyone can do this very easily and simply. What does that require? Just submit a special request for processing. It looks like *141*9*1#. In response, you will receive an SMS message in which all available commands will be published. Unless this does not include requests to change the tariff plan (for a specific offer).

Option management

1. Having access to the subscriber information service of the Velcom operator, you can adjust the list of available services on the number.
2. Dial the request *441*1# on the keyboard of your gadget. The operator will notify you of the successful completion of the operation via text notification.
3. In the voice settings, which can be found in the main settings of your mobile device, there is also an option to disable call forwarding.

How to disable the voice box on Velcom (Belarus) and reconnect it, for example, upon returning from roaming? To restore the ability to use your voice mailbox, you can use any of the previously described methods. In this case, you need to set up forwarding to the number +375296000210, selecting the condition under which it will be performed. Please note that if you are a new subscriber and you have a connection, then forwarding works by default if the number is unavailable or does not answer.

Sometimes our cell phone bills are higher because of services we don't really need. 42.TUT.BY has compiled a list of the most common tricks of Belarusian mobile operators and ways to avoid them.

We visited three Minsk mobile operator showrooms, connected new SIM cards, and then studied the “bouquet” of default services. At the same time, we decided to see what tariff plan the consultants would offer to an undecided buyer. To do this, we asked for “the most common tariff with calls and Internet.”

Please note that all services were connected absolutely legally with the consent of the subscriber. The problem is that an absent-minded person can notice an unnecessary paid service only six months after he “eats” a decent amount.

Advantages

Knowing the composition of characters and numbers, usually from three to ten, you can instantly, within literally a few seconds, obtain the necessary information regarding telecommunications services and options. All you need is:

• pick up a mobile phone;
• type a specific command using the keyboard;
• click on the call function;
• Read the required information on the screen in the form of a pop-up message.

There is no need to do any other manipulations. The service operates free of charge.

Possibilities

Of course, it’s not easy to remember all the velcom commands, but you can write them down in your phone book and use them without problems:

1. If you want to know the current size of your subscriber account, dial *100#.
2. If you are afraid that your allotted limit has expired and want to know about the remaining services, send *100*1#.
3. *100*3# and you can get financial information about: the amount of the monthly payment when paying in installments;
4. the balance of the total amount to be repaid;
5. end date for the end of payments.

life:)

In life:) “the most common tariff with the Internet” was understood as “the cheapest with the Internet” and they connected “S”, which for 6.5 rubles per month promises 2 GB of traffic, 100 minutes of calls to other networks and unlimited within the network.

“Load” was available for 2.6 rubles per month, which provides 4G traffic. The first month it is free, then it starts charging payments. Even in the salon, the consultant warned that the service was paid, and wrote directly on the contract how to disable it.

We did not find any “hidden” services in the online assistant. However, new life:) subscribers should be careful with monthly payments. The entire cost of the service package for a month is written off at a time. If you don’t have enough funds in your account (for example, 5 rubles, not 6.5), you will be subject to a “basic tariff” - paid calls within the network and very expensive Internet traffic. This will continue until there is enough money or until the account is empty.

How to disable

4G Fast and Furious — *110#

Special conditions

All Velcom clients, without exception, can use the service. Neither the tariff plan, nor the payment terms, nor the subscriber status can affect this opportunity. The commands are effective both when the subscriber is within his home country and when he is roaming. Message texts are not saved in the phone device. If necessary, the request can be sent an infinite number of times.

Redirection: when should you refuse it?

We remind you that the “Voicemail” option operates on the basis of call forwarding. In some cases, even if the service is used regularly, it is necessary to disable it. You should clarify what we are talking about before talking about how to disable it on Velcom. When you are in your home region, you do not pay for the fact of call forwarding. But in roaming, if you have conditional forwarding, you will have to pay twice - for both incoming and outgoing calls. Thus, if you are planning a trip outside your region, you should temporarily disable the service. How to disable the voice mailbox on Velcom?

velcom

At velcom, as the “most common” one, they recommended the “About everything at once” tariff, which for 4.9 rubles per month gives 250 minutes within the velcom network, 250 SMS and 250 MB of traffic (the first months the monthly fee is less).

Voicemail” was automatically connected

"- it works as an answering machine and sends SMS about missed calls. It itself is free, but there is one catch: when someone calls you and comes across a voicemail, it is charged as an outgoing call to the caller. You don’t notice - the operator is making money.

- a melody instead of beeps - fortunately, we were not connected. True, the terms of provision still state: “the service is automatically assigned upon concluding an agreement for the provision of telecommunication services according to velcom tariff plans”

. For the first 30 days it is free, then it costs from 4 kopecks to 1.12 rubles per day.

The operator also has a “ What’s New”

", which
"for your convenience, starts working automatically after installing the SIM card in the phone
. The free service sends announcements of paid services - games, ringtones. Our SIM card avoided this fate, but there are many complaints about this service on the Internet.
