Charges for content in Megafon: what are they and how to disable them

Mobile phone users often subscribe to paid services. As a result, a certain amount of money begins to be debited from the account regularly. The service provider can be the mobile operator itself or its partners. It happens that subscription activation occurs without the knowledge of the owner of the mobile device.

For example, after clicking a button on a suspicious website or responding to an SMS message. Today we’ll look at ways to disable subscription to number 4446.

Disable all services in MTS

In MTS, subscribers can disable all paid services at once, which they connected using short numbers.
This can be done in your personal account, here you need to find the “Content Prohibition” section. You can call the operator by dialing 8 800 250 0890 or simply 0890. The short number is available only in the MTS network. You can disable all short numbers for your number by typing *984# and the call key on your mobile keyboard. If a subscriber switches to one of the corporate tariff plans, the service of banning all short numbers will be activated automatically. In this case, you will no longer have to disable services by calling 4446.

How to disable subscriptions on Beeline

If you are a subscriber of the Beeline operator, you can disable unnecessary services through your personal account. Visit the cellular company's website and open the "Profile" page. Select "Connected services". You will see a list of all paid subscriptions that work on your number. You can disable any service yourself.

Another option is to send an SMS to the number you subscribe to (in this case, 4446) with the word STOP. Then press the call key and wait for a response message.

The operator will notify you that the request has been completed. If you have difficulty canceling your subscription, call the hotline.

How short numbers work

There are several terms that you need to know to understand how certain operator short numbers work:

• a partner is an official or individual who rents a short number (for example 4446) for a certain period. It is used to connect or provide paid services;
• a content provider is primarily an organization that rents numbers from a mobile operator and distributes its services and products through them; it can also rent out its numbers to certain aggregators;
• an aggregator is a large content provider that rents rooms.

Often the services that aggregators and other participants in the scheme provide via leased short numbers are poorly controlled, and in some cases not controlled at all. Therefore, you can often hear from the operator that they cannot help with issues of disabling services via short numbers or send the subscriber to other services. Often short numbers are a means of deceiving subscribers.

In order not to fall into the trap of scammers and opaque schemes of organizations, it is necessary to disable short number services. Almost every operator in the Russian Federation provides subscribers with this opportunity. You will be able to disable the number 4446, which subscribes to different services.

How to disable MegaFon content service

If the client needs to use short numbers, then the option should be deactivated. To do this, you must use any of the following methods:

1. The easiest way is to use the Service Guide, in other words, it is a personal account. The disabling process is similar to the procedure for enabling the option.
2. You can also disable the service using only your mobile phone. To do this, you will need to enter *526*0# on your device and make a call. After this, the request will be sent and the option will be deactivated. You can call call center operators who can disable the service remotely. For this method, you will need to tell the operator the code word or series and passport number.
3. Employees of MegaFon branded stores can also remove the restriction on the use of paid content. To do this, you should contact any MegaFon store and ask to disable the service.
4. The last deactivation method is to send a text message to the number 0500914. You must insert the number 2 into the body of the letter.

If any of the actions are performed correctly, the option will be disabled, and the subscriber will receive a message with information about disabling the Stop Content service. Subscribers who use smartphones are recommended to download the mobile application. Thanks to it, you can manage your balance, SIM card, tariffs and options using only your mobile phone. The application is analogous to a personal account, but is always at hand.

What is this service Order content from Beeline

This one itself from Beeline 9731 provides the subscriber with various forms of paid digital content - pictures, news, jokes, horoscopes, music and more. This service is provided through a mobile click by Informpartner LLC. The subscription fee for using the service is 30 rubles per day, and 900 rubles per month.

In the vast majority of cases, you may not even notice how you connected to a paid service, because confirmation of connection (for example, by entering a confirmation code on the site) is not used here. In the best case, you will receive an SMS from number 9731 that you have already subscribed to this service. At worst, you will find out about it after the balance on your mobile account becomes negative.

In case of complaints from subscribers, the operator usually refers to the virus that performed the “mobile click” for the subscriber. At the same time, the operator is not at all embarrassed by the fact that a “mobile click” can be carried out from an old push-button telephone, which actually does not have an operating system. And, consequently, the viruses themselves.

To check the services connected to your number, we recommend dialing *110*09# on your phone and pressing the call button. You will receive a response in the form of an SMS message.

Mobile subscription to number 4446

If it happened that money began to be debited from the account regularly, daily and in equal amounts, and the owner of the phone, it would seem, did nothing specifically for this, most likely a paid mobile subscription was issued to his number - read what this is below

Its essence is that the cellular user has somehow agreed to receive regular information for a fee, for example, you received an SMS on your phone from the above number with the text: “send SMS...”. At the same time, information such as: what kind of service, what kind of subscription, what kind of website, the cost of the subscription, how to delete a subscription or how to disable it is often not directly shown.

Someone, a partner of your operator, called a content provider in professional slang, supplies you with content for a fee:

• provides information
• provides a service by providing access to an online game, website, program, etc.

The operator finds himself on the sidelines, as he publicly warns on his website that yes, there is paid content, that it is provided by third-party organizations to which the operator itself has no connection.

No, except that he debits money from the subscriber’s account and he also provides the short number to the content provider.

In most cases, the short four-digit number 4446 is rented out by the mobile operator (Megafon, MTS, Beeline, Tele2), receiving a fee for it, and, as a rule, a percentage of the amounts paid by the owner of the phone in favor of the provider.

How to unsubscribe

In the event that the content you receive from the Tele2 operator is no longer interesting to you or you connected it completely by accident, you can disable it without any problems.

1. As mentioned above, the problem can be solved by simple authorization in the “Personal Account”.
2. Also, you could disable mailing on a special Web portal in the “Manage Subscriptions” section.
3. The fastest way to achieve what you want is to simply send a message with a special code to the short number 605. The code should be in the following format: stop. The code is unique for each section, and you can find it in the same directory on the Mobile Subscriptions website.
4. And the last method that will help you disable irrelevant content is almost no different from the previous one. You will need identical subscription data, which should be sent using the USSD command in the following format: *605#0## .

Deactivation

There may be several ways to refuse the option - choose a convenient option and refuse the daily debiting of funds from your balance.

So, how to disable Beeline “Content Ordering” using your personal account:

1. Open your personal account in the mobile application or on the official website of the operator;
2. Go to the "Connected Servants" section;
3. Scroll through the list to the selected short code and move the toggle switch to the “Disabled” position.

The second option for how to disable “Order Content” from Beeline is to send an SMS message:

1. Create a new message;
2. Write the word "STOP" in the text field;
3. Send SMS to the selected phone.

And you can also:

• Visit any communication salon and operator;
• Call the support service at 0611 or 8 800 700 06 11.

The message will be paid - the cost depends on the features of your tariff plan.

We will explain how to connect a landline number in the instructions at the link.

Description and cost of the service

Most subscriptions are not included in the list of offers from Beeline; they may relate to other third-party services. If the subscriber independently or unknowingly activated additional paid content on his phone, then after that he will receive daily notifications in the form of SMS or MMS with advertising content.

gives the user access to the “vidz.cool” service. We do not recommend clicking on this link, otherwise you will see a pop-up window warning about the presence of SMS fraud. After connecting, you will receive a notification confirming your registration on the site. For using this useless function, 30 rubles will be debited from your personal account every day. Content is launched on the number without the consent of the owner.

On the Beeline website there is a special application for checking short numbers, in the help and support tab. Here you can indicate a suspicious contact and receive comprehensive information about the ordered content.

The mechanism for the appearance of additional costs for content

Subscribers do not always consciously and independently activate paid services. Often, people who use Megafon communications do not understand at what point the subscription is activated.

After some time, subscribers notice the consequences of this procedure: debiting charges from their mobile account for access to content services.

Therefore, it is important to understand when official paid offers of the operator or subscriptions of third-party content providers are activated.

Megafon technical support names the following situations:

1. A smartphone user, while searching for entertainment resources, ends up on a site with a paid subscription and responds to an offer to subscribe.
2. Accidentally clicking on a pop-up advertising banner or push notification may result in the activation of a paid service.
3. In the event of a hacker attack and a Megafon account is hacked, the subscriber may be subscribed to the content by the attacker.
4. Go to the subscription page using a viral link from an SMS message.
5. It is possible that the smartphone system may be infected with a Trojan virus that performs actions to activate paid services.
6. Automatic confirmation of consent to a paid subscription can be an outgoing SMS or a call to a short number, indicating a number for registration.

The operator, in accordance with current legislation, warns about a paid subscription, but this warning looks uninformative, is written in small print and is not striking, like the offer to view the resource itself.

Therefore, before performing an action, you should carefully read all the text on the screen, including sentences in small gray font.

How to find out the status of subscriptions

There are several ways to make sure you have subscriptions to any Tele2 content:

• The most obvious of them is calling the operator using the short number 611. However, this option may take you a lot of time, given the heavy workload of consultants.
• The second method involves visiting the Tele2 operator’s communication salon, for which you will definitely need an identity card (preferably a passport).
• You can also use the “Personal Account” service. This is very convenient, since all information regarding the services will be right in front of you. All you have to do is disable unnecessary ones, if any.
• And the last method, which uses USSD commands to achieve the goal. To clarify the availability of any connections to paid Tele2 content, you need to dial *144*1#. If you need to manage one or all services, use the *144# menu, which was created specifically for such cases. Moreover, to view your subscriptions, you can access another menu, namely *111#. It is more functional, so finding the desired section will probably take a little longer than in the previous case.

What is the short number 4446, how to get money back for SMS or subscription

None of us wants to pay twice, and especially no one wants to pay for anything, and especially for a quietly imposed “for nothing.” When using his mobile phone, a person quite reasonably expects that the money spent on communication services will be spent only on what he himself has done:

Legislation changes quickly, and each situation is individual.

Save your time and money - call professional lawyers, fill out the form or contact the online consultant in the lower right corner.

It's fast and effective, 24/7 and free!

Methods for opting out of content

Remember that ordering Beeline content can be done unconsciously. For example, you downloaded specific information from the Internet, and along with it activated a subscription to a certain resource. You did this automatically, without thinking, but at the same time, the money immediately went somewhere from your phone.

It’s worth figuring out how to disable content on Beeline, what needs to be done for this?

1. There is a fairly simple way. You only need to dial a number on your phone that is easy to remember *110*20#.
2. Use your phone's menu. Find the Chameleon service and disable unnecessary mailings.
3. Look into your personal account. If you show interest and desire, you will definitely find those services that will be unnecessary for you.

If you tried to deactivate everything, but something went wrong, messages are coming to you again, then you need to contact the mobile phone store directly.

The company's employees will definitely help you quickly complete your tasks. They will do everything promptly, you won’t have to wait long and tediously.

Remember, there are a huge number of short numbers that at first glance will seem attractive to you: 5591, 9731, 8547, but you should not show special interest in them if you are not in the mood to constantly receive a variety of messages. This will help you avoid all sorts of surprises. A significant amount of money will not be withdrawn from your account.

Ways to disable services

Many subscribers complain that the phone sends SMS to an unknown number 4446. After sending the message, a certain amount is debited from the account. Typically, SMS is sent when advertising is displayed in mobile applications, regardless of the device’s operating system. Sometimes the subscription even appears on push-button phones. After confirmation of the purchase of game items, their cost is deducted from the account.

The problem can be solved in several ways:

• On the site . Go to the "Manage Subscription" page and disable unnecessary services.
• Through the operator . Beeline subscribers can send the word STOP to 2210 or 4446 to deactivate the subscription. MTS subscribers write a message with identical content to number 770640.
• By hotline . If you use the services of another mobile operator, dial the contact center number 8 and describe the problem. Ask the employee to turn off the subscription. Making calls is free.

Connect and receive

As already mentioned, content can be useful as well as annoying. For those who agree with this statement, let's briefly dwell on the issue of connection.

As always, Tele2 offers several options for connecting:

• A service with which you can manage your SIM card 100% - “Personal Account”. After authorization, you will need to find a section with a list of all available services for connection and select the ones you like most.
• The operator has created a special portal dedicated exclusively to mobile subscriptions. The site URL looks like this - wap.teleru
  . By visiting it and going to the “Catalog” section, you have the opportunity to choose a subscription to any amount of content. By clicking on the item you like, you will see the information required for registration, namely the code and the number to which it needs to be sent. An example of a window can be found in the photo below.
