Through your personal account on the operator’s website
Everything is quite simple here. If you are actively using your PC or laptop, or your phone is not nearby at the moment, you can still activate your SIM card. We all know that the most popular operator companies provide their clients with a special “Personal Account” on the website. What do you need?
On this web resource, you can track your tariff plan, check the amount of funds in your account, and even link a specific service. But all this is normal if you have activated the SIM card.
To complete the registration process, you will need to log into your personal account using your personal details. When you first launch, you will have access to the “Start Using” button, which will open access to your number to other subscribers.
Via service guide
This activation method is popular among users who purchased a SIM card for another device on which the USSD code cannot be entered, for example, a modem. This alternative method is convenient due to its simplicity and similarity to the method presented above. All you need is:
- There we see a large list of different submenus, but we need to click on “Top up account”.
- Go to the menu and click "Account Management".
- Next, click on the “Start balance activation” button, after which the activation process will be completed.
However, to take full advantage of all the features of the SIM card in the modem, you need to recover your account. Please note that if you have previously topped up your account using other methods or directly at the Beeline office, there is a high probability that you have already registered a Beeline number, since it is impossible to top up your account using an unregistered card.

- Turn off the phone, remove the old SIM card (if any) and install a new Beeline SIM card into the slot.
- After inserting the SIM card, turn on the mobile phone and wait until it is fully charged, then dial the command * 102 # (check balance), the card will be activated and will be registered on the network: the signal strength indicator and the name icon will appear.

For active Internet users
It's no secret that in the 21st century, at least half of the population is dependent on the Internet. And every second person wants to have high-speed Internet, not only when connecting to a home network, but also outside the “comfort zone”. Now this is not a problem. Just a few years ago, 3G speed was the most successful. Everyone actively used it, thinking that this was the highest speed of the Internet and that it couldn’t be any more. Naturally, everything has changed now. A new network has appeared - 4G and 4G+. They differ from the declared 3G speed by about two dozen times more. But among themselves, the “+” category outperforms the standard 4 by a factor of 5. If you are interested in surfing the Internet at the same speed as your Wi-Fi, then how to activate a Beeline 4G SIM card will be described below.
- As a rule, not all devices support the new format. Therefore, first you need to make sure that your smartphone, tablet or modem does not need to be replaced. If its characteristics disappoint you, then it's time to update your device.
- After checking all your gadgets, you should go to the company’s official store and replace the SIM card. Your number will remain the same, and replacement is completely free.
- Then all that remains is a small task - just connect the option you need. Considering that the phone is configured to work with a 4G network, you have 2 suitable options. The first is the “ALL” tariff, but the second, in turn, is the “Highway” option.
By the way, the operator has provided separate Beeline Internet for the tablet, because on this device GB are consumed even faster.
If suddenly you see that data transmission has stopped working at the advertised speed, it means that the 4G network is not available there. At the moment, the coverage area of this network is growing literally exponentially. And, by the way, the new generation network will allow you to have a conversation and, for example, watch the weather in your browser at the same time.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the tariff from Beeline “Everything for 800” - the most popular tariff, as well as the Beeline Can Do Everything tariff.
Reasons why activation does not occur
Are you doing everything right, but nothing is happening? Let's figure out why the Beeline SIM card is not activated.
- The problem could be a faulty SIM card, it may have been damaged. In this case, it must be replaced at the operator's office.
- To cancel the first option, test the operation of the SIM card by inserting it into another device. If everything works fine, the problem is with the device.
If you have any questions or difficulties, you can always contact the support service by calling 8 800 700 8000. Operators will definitely help you troubleshoot the problem and get things working properly.
Activation on the tablet
The first connection and activation of the SIM card on a tablet device is carried out in the same way as on a phone. If there is a call function, the subscriber only needs to use a special USSD command. If you don’t have one, you can contact the Beeline sales office directly and solve the problem on the spot.
Most tablets do not require any special steps. They can make calls and this is already enough to quickly activate the number through a command in dialing mode.
What to do if your SIM card is blocked
It happens that the mobile operator blocks the SIM card. But the subscriber has nothing to worry about, he can always restore it.
A SIM card can be blocked for several reasons:
- voluntary blocking of SIM cards in connection with saving money;
- incorrect entry of PIN codes and puk codes;
- forced blocking associated with a zero or negative balance, as well as long-term non-use of the SIM card.
Depending on the reason, different methods are used to reset a blocked SIM card.
If pin and puk codes are entered incorrectly
If the Beeline number is blocked due to entering an incorrect puk or PIN code, you will need to call the mobile operator at 8 (800) 7000611. A company specialist will ask you to provide the phone number and full name of the SIM card holder. You must keep your passport with you, as a technical support employee may ask you to dictate your passport information.
When the card is voluntarily blocked by the user
If the SIM card was blocked by the owner at his own request, you can send a request in a free format by email
After you have blocked a number yourself, you can reset it by personally appearing at one of the Beeline branches. You must have your passport with you.
It is possible, as in the previous case, to call a company consultant at 8 (800) 7000611. To restore the card, you will need to dictate your passport data to a specialist.
Possible problems and ways to solve them
If, when you try to activate the card through the Service Guide, you cannot start the program on the device, you need to disable the antivirus or firewall and repeat the steps described in the corresponding paragraph of the article. If this does not help, the subscriber can try to launch the application manually. To do this, on the connected device you need to go to the “My Computer” tab, go to the “Beeline Removable Disk” item, and in it find and run the “Setup.exe” file by double-clicking.
In addition, if you are unable to connect your SIM card when using all of the above properties, the reason may be in the device itself. You should try changing the settings or installing the card in another gadget.
If any technical errors occur when activating a new Beeline SIM card, to receive qualified assistance, the subscriber needs to contact the technical support service at the reference number 8 800 7000 611.
Necessary SIM card settings
Most often, a Beeline SIM card does not require additional settings for use on smartphones and other devices. To use the connection correctly, just insert the chip into the device and turn it on.
An exception may be a device with two SIM cards if one of the slots is disabled. To activate, you need to go to the smartphone settings, select the “SIM card management” section and enable the desired slot.
On Apple phones
Apple devices also require additional SIM entry through the phone's internal settings. Let's figure out how to activate a Beeline SIM card in an iPhone.
- Open the Settings menu.
- Go to the “Cellular data” item and open the “SIM programs” section.
- Then you will need the “My Beeline” section, in it select “Other services”.
- Click on the SIM card activation item and confirm the action.
As a result of the actions taken, the new SIM card will be activated.
