Beeline “Stay informed” service: description and connection

Even the coolest and most advanced mobile operators, whose coverage network covers almost half the world, cannot guarantee that their communications will be available 24 hours a day and in the most remote corners of our country. And if it happens that the phone is dead or your grandmother urgently needs repairs in the cellar, and as luck would have it, you are waiting for an important call. Beeline introduced it especially for such force majeure events. Probably, those who have long entrusted their communications to this operator are already familiar with it, but this article will be of interest not only to beginners, so let’s get started.

What it is?

Let's first take a look at the description of what this offer from the Beeline operator is.

“Stay in the know” from the mobile operator Beeline allows subscribers, if they are unable to receive a call, to receive information about missed calls. In addition, it includes an answering machine option, where you can listen to recorded messages left by subscribers who could not reach you.

Important! Please do not confuse the offer from Beeline with the dubious service “InfoCenter: hacking, be in the know,” popular in search engines. The option from the mobile operator does not have the ability to hack social network accounts.

The service is convenient because it stores information about missed calls in the following format:

• Caller number;
• Date of missed call;
• The time of this call;
• A number that you can call to listen to a voice message on your answering machine.

The owner of the number with the connected service can receive this information in the form of an SMS immediately after he is back in the network coverage area.

Service modernization: what changes have occurred?

Beeline regularly updates its offers - it not only adds new services, but also modernizes old ones.

Thus, it is 04/24/2015. automatically turned off “Stay informed”. It was replaced by an updated version of “Be Informed Plus”. From now on, the service has become paid, and many users are faced with the question of how to disable this option.

In addition, not only SMS notifications about missed calls and the users who made them became available to subscribers, but the ability to listen to voice messages on the answering machine was also introduced. The next section is dedicated to him.

Built-in answering machine

You have undoubtedly seen in foreign films how the hero approaches the home telephone, presses a button and listens to messages left on the phone in his absence.
In a mobile phone on Beeline, the principle is approximately the same. If you do not answer an incoming call for a long time, then after 30 seconds. the call is forwarded to an answering machine, where the subscriber who called you can leave a voice message. The duration of such a message cannot exceed 40 seconds . And the total number of such notifications is limited to 30 pieces. for one subscriber.

Attention! Remember - voice messages on your answering machine are stored for 24 hours, after which they are automatically deleted.

For the subscriber who calls, recording a message is regarded as a regular call and is paid according to the tariff to which the subscriber is connected.

To connect to this service, just use one of the following methods:

• Call to 067401061;
• Sending a USSD request *110*1061#;

It is this number that is indicated in network messages when a voice message is left to your number.

Payment for a call to this number is charged according to your tariff plan, as well as calls within the tariff.

The answering service does not have any specific options, so any user can handle it. True, it also has disadvantages: the service applies to the time when your phone is within the Russian Federation. During your stay abroad, this option will be temporarily blocked.

We are always in touch

In any case, if suddenly, for some reason (the battery died or you were talking on the phone with someone else at the time), you were unable to answer an important call, the consequences of this could be very, very undesirable. How to avoid embarrassment? Until recently there was no answer to this question. Today, the mobile operator Beeline has this answer, offering all its subscribers a new one. What is the essence of this service?

Its essence is that every Beeline subscriber is aware at any time of who called him and when. However, everything is not so simple here. Information about all missed calls is already stored in the phone. So why did Beeline offer a new one and, most importantly, what kind of service is this and what is its essence? But the point is that by connecting it, you can not only find out that someone called you, but also listen to the message that your failed counterpart left for you. This can be done by dialing a short number, which can be easily found on our website.

Price issue

The monthly fee for use is 0.5 rubles. per day (except for users “All Inclusive”, “Everything!”, “Zero Doubt 2014” and “Doctrine 77”).

People who called you and got on your answering machine pay for the message left at their own rates, as for an outgoing call.

Service management

Let's look at the features of managing the function and its limitations:

Beeline works only within the home region, in long-distance roaming.

Connecting to the service and setting up an answering machine

In order to activate this option, you don’t have to do anything, since Beeline automatically installs it on all new numbers.

If you do not have it, then you should call 067401061 or dial *110*1061# The cost for activating the service is 0 rubles. Also, no one has canceled the ability to connect to the service through your personal account.

The answering machine does not require settings for a specific number. But some parameters can still be customized. So, additionally activate the answering machine, in case the number is in conversation mode.

How to connect ?

• Call 06740 1061 and follow the answering machine prompts to enable the option.
• send the USSD code *110*1061# from your mobile phone and wait for the system to respond.
• activate the product in your personal account, in the “Services” section.

If the service is not needed

Sometimes subscribers consider this option unnecessary in their tariff plan and want to refuse it so that they will not be charged for it.

Disabling a service follows the same principle as connecting it and can be done easily and simply. Comrades from the national news who complain about the need to use an “unnecessary” service - this information ( you can write information, maybe it was not completed, or maybe this is the keyword WORD INFO ) just for you.

It will be useful to view:

To do this, you need to call the number 067401062. And the USSD command looks like this: *110*1062# and the call button at the end. You can also contact a specialist in a communication salon, set up services in your personal account, or call the operator’s hotline.

Having changed their mind, subscribers can always reconnect the service using the above methods.

How to disable?

You can enable or disable the option yourself. Disabling on Beeline can also be done in several ways:

• remove the product from the SIM card by calling the service phone 06740 1062;
• cancel the option by sending the USSD command *110*1062#;
• turn off the functionality in your Personal Account.

If you still have any questions about the operation of the service, you can always ask them to an employee of the Beeline television system by calling 0611. Calls from network clients are not subject to tariffs.

What else do you need to know about?

If the number has been blocked, for example, you have not topped up your balance for a long time (in this case, Beeline offers to enable the “Always in the Plus” option), then the option of forwarding to an answering machine will not work and it must be activated again after unlocking the phone.

In the option settings, you can record a voice greeting or leave interesting information for subscribers who will call you. Of course, you don’t have to do this, then subscribers will hear a standard greeting.

For veteran subscribers who have been using the service since back in 2014, Beeline provided the opportunity to leave voice messages as mms. Unfortunately, users who have been connected to a mobile operator since 08/01/2014 do not have this opportunity.

Let's sum it up

Well, it's time to draw the line.
Users of mobile operator services have two completely different opinions regarding the mobile answering service “Be in the know”. To some it may seem imposed and will refuse it, saving their money at the same time. The second part of subscribers considers the service very convenient and appropriate, since their priority is to always stay in touch and keep abreast of all events.

Ultimately, whether or not to use the option is a matter of choice for each individual subscriber. If you decide to cancel the service, first weigh all the pros and cons, since any missed call can play a fateful role.

Thanks to this option, those who were unable to reach the person have the opportunity to leave a voice message.
The answering machine will turn on not only when the subscriber is unavailable, but also if he does not answer the call within 30 seconds. The storage period for such a record is 1 day. The recipient will be able to listen to it by sending an SMS to a short number. A fee equal to the cost of an outgoing connection within the network is charged for this action. If the subscriber who has not received an answer does not want to transmit information in this way, the person who subscribed to this subscription will know from which number the call was made. For the provision of such a service, the mobile operator charges a subscription fee, which on most tariff plans is 1.5 rubles per day . The exceptions are:

• “All for...” and “All in One” lines;
• an option that forms a common package of services for several additional numbers, provided that it is activated before December 21, 2017;
• tariffs intended for modems and tablets.

Users of the listed plans must check the exact cost in their personal account on the operator’s website. It can be 50 kopecks or 1 ruble.

It is important to know about the existing restrictions:

• maximum recording duration - 40 seconds;
• no more than 30 messages can be left per knock;
• The service is not available when you are in roaming.
