How to disable Beeline advertising on your phone: 3 ways

A stream of advertising and informational SMS messages that come from 4-digit numbers distracts the user from his work and clogs up the phone’s memory. Intrusive pop-up messages that appear unexpectedly on your device's display are harder to ignore. Inexperienced users risk accidentally sending a reply, subscribing to an unnecessary service, and losing money.

Therefore, customers of a mobile operator need to know how to disable mailing on Beeline independently or with the help of company employees. There are several simple ways to delete subscriptions.

What kind of notifications may there be?

Subscribers receive SMS or see information in windows that appear on the display and linger for some time. Messages of the second type are called interactive, because in addition to text, they contain buttons with action options. The user agrees to the offer by clicking OK and refuses it by selecting “Cancel.”

An example of an interactive Beeline message.

Mailings come from the telecom operator or third-party companies. Beeline informs customers about new tariffs, options, and changes to the terms of the contract. The operator offers the following additional information and entertainment services:

• weather forecast;
• news;
• exchange rates;
• acquaintance;
• horoscopes;
• jokes;
• access to various types of content (pictures, videos, games, programs).

The cost of subscribing to one of the operator’s mailings is from 1.5 to 10 rubles. per day. The maximum amount of a one-time write-off is 30 rubles. in view of VAT.

Similar services are offered by other companies that rent short numbers for commercial needs. This is what retail chains, information portals, and online stores do.

Some organizations are official partners of Beeline; you can find them in the subscription catalog on the operator’s portal.

Customer information may be included in mailing lists from third-party content providers. To do this, the subscriber just needs to indicate his phone number in the form or when registering on the site, for example, to activate an account.

Messages are also sent by unscrupulous organizations and individuals. Fraudsters collect numbers to send spam. This often happens when you go to a file download page.

If the user accidentally clicks on a link in the text or clicks on the OK button, he will end up on a site with paid traffic or subscribe to a service that is not necessary. A considerable amount can be debited from the subscriber's account. As a result, the client's communication costs will increase, and the number of annoying SMS will increase.

The danger of mailing lists is that with their help, a minor user risks connecting to content that is not suitable for his age. Victims often include pensioners and people with impaired vision and coordination.

Who sends out advertisements

The source of SMS mailings can be:

• information and entertainment services of the operator;
• commercial organizations;
• spammers, scammers.

Messages from Beeline are safe and mostly contain information: they offer new tariffs, services, and warn about changes. It’s easy to unsubscribe from them or subscribe again - the operator offers special numbers for this.

If a weather forecast with an advertisement comes to your phone, it means that the corresponding service is activated. Its terms and conditions stipulate the provision of information along with advertising content.

Stores or service providers often receive numbers from their customers voluntarily - when making a purchase or filling out questionnaires. All these phones are stored in the client database, after which advertising mailings begin.

Spam can also come from Beeline partners who provide subscribers with paid subscriptions of an informational and entertainment nature.

Disabling advertising from third parties

If unnecessary messages come from short numbers that do not belong to the telecom operator, refusing them by sending USSD commands developed by the company or settings in the “Personal Account” will not work in all cases. Beeline offers 3 options:

1. Call the service number 0684006 to disable all mailings from spammers. After connecting, you will need to confirm deleting subscriptions.
2. Call 0611 to clarify which newsletter needs to be removed.
3. Visit to the sales office with the original passport. The communication salon specialists will give the subscriber a list of connected services and offer to mark those that should be deleted.

The user can go to the website of the organization from which unnecessary messages are coming. There you need to find the “Unsubscribe from mailing list” item. If this is not possible, you should find the company’s contact phone number, call it and ask to remove your number from the SMS recipient database.

Instructions for other operators

The principle of disconnecting from pushes from other providers is not particularly different from Beeline. You can use the SIM card menu or enter some commands on your phone.

For example:

• Tele2 has a “Tele-topic” function with push notifications, and you can turn it off by requesting the number *152*0# and or deactivating it in the “Tele2 menu”.
• To turn off push notifications in Megafon, the easiest way is to dial *808*0# and the call button. Although you can use the Megafon menu.
• For MTS, enter the command *111*1212*2# and call, or you can search for the desired item in “MTS Services”.

Disabling operator advertising mailings

To inform subscribers, Beeline provides the following types of pop-up notifications:

• interactive messages “Beeline Menu”, SMS+, SIM+;
• USSD Push - tips to try a convenient service;
• short “Infostroke” alerts - offers useful options with activation numbers;
• "Chameleon" - notifications on various topics with the ability to quickly connect additional services.

The “Menu” is displayed on the screen once a month, SMS+ - after the call ends, SIM+ - every time you turn on the device. USSD Push appears once a month, and reminders associated with the Chameleon option appear several times a day.

What notifications and mailings the phone owner sees determines the set of services activated on the number. The user does not pay for the delivery of incoming messages entirely in parts, viewing them, or navigating through built-in menu items.

When ordering content, connecting an option that the operator informs about, or opening a link, the amount mentioned in the text is deducted from the account. The subscriber pays for the service or tariffed traffic.

To refuse to receive notifications in the formats “Infostroke”, “Beeline Menu”, USSD Push, SIM+, SMS+, the company offers one of the following methods:

1. In the menu of the received message, go to the “Management” section, then select “Disable”.
2. Call service number 0684211371.
3. Use the “SIM Menu” of the device. To do this, you need to find an item with the appropriate name in the settings or the “My Beeline” icon in the “Menu” of your Android smartphone. In gadgets with iOS, you should open the settings, select “Phone”, then “SIM programs”. Then go to the “My Beeline” section, find the name of the service and click on the “Disable” line.
4. Install the “My Beeline” program or register and log in to the “Personal Account” on the company portal.

Are messages from Beeline charged?

Before turning off SMS messages on Beeline, understand the financial specifics of the incoming information. During use, all SMS received that are sent to the phone number are not subject to tariffs. This means that they can be perceived as additional information and not worry about accidentally withdrawing money. In addition, tariffs do not apply to rewinding messages to the second screen (for long text), opening a menu, enabling/disabling an option, or ordering a continuation of a message. In the latter case, this is relevant in a situation where the SMS itself says that such an option is free.

But there are also actions that are subject to mandatory tariffs. These include:

1. Order content/services. In other words, if you accidentally or intentionally clicked on some item in an SMS and ordered a service, you will be charged for it. At the same time, the menu should indicate the cost of such an action.
2. Internet traffic when downloading files is charged taking into account the cost of the user's tariff plan.

Expert opinion

Andrey

Beeline salon employee. 5 years in the company. Knows everything about Beeline services and tariffs.

The first 7 days of use are free, but from the 8th day funds begin to be debited from the account. The client can confirm the purchase or refuse it.

Some callers press the “OK” key by mistake. The paid feature is activated and the client forgets about it. After some time, money is debited from the account. Therefore, when a pop-up window appears, you should always click “Cancel”. Disabling the menu prevents pop-up notifications from appearing again.
