How to activate the call service at the expense of the interlocutor in Beeline?

The “Call at the expense of the interlocutor” service is usually included in the service package on any Beeline tariff plan. You do not need to separately activate the service using SMS, USSD commands and other methods; you just need to make a call in a certain format. To make a call at the expense of another subscriber, use a special request: enter the combination “05050 subscriber number without the first digit (7 or 8)” on the keypad. For example:050509051234567. After that, press the “Call” key. For convenience, you can save the command 05050 in your phone's address book.

Peculiarities

Before using the service, study its features in detail.

• Conversations at a friend's expense are available no more than 15 times a day;
• You can call only Beeline subscribers (any payment system);
• The option is not available in roaming.

If the conditions described above are not met, a “Call me” request will be sent to the subscriber instead of making a call. The subscriber will receive an SMS message asking you to dial your phone number.

Control

You can prohibit calls made at your expense using the command *155*0#

Resume: *155*1#

Subscribers using the services of other operators will not be able to implement this service if they need to call you. A call at the expense of a megaphone interlocutor to a Beeline and vice versa is currently impossible.

You can use other methods of communication with a zero balance - “Trust payment” and “Call me!” However, if you need to make a call here and now, this service will help you out.

How to send a message asking to call back?

If you were unable to make a call at the expense of another subscriber, you can send a beacon. Use the command *144*number of the interlocutor# and the call key. The interlocutor's number must begin with 9. You cannot specify 8 or +7.

If it is impossible to send a beacon or make a call at the expense of the interlocutor, an automatic “Call me” request is triggered when dialing the number of another subscriber. The option works automatically if you have exceeded the daily limit of 15 calls.

How to dial a number

If the balance on your phone has dropped to zero, dial the command *140*7XXXXXXXXXX#, where “7XXXXXXXXXX” is the number of the called subscriber, or call, putting an asterisk in front of the subscriber number *7XXXXXXXXXX. You will be taken to a voice menu where you will need to select the appropriate item.

The “Friend Help” option is included in all tariffs. You will automatically be taken to the voice menu and can select it if you dial the number of a relative, friend or other person at whose expense you are going to make a call, in the format shown above. This means that it does not need to be connected additionally.

The person you are calling must agree to the conversation at his own expense. He will hear the message: “Hello, a subscriber wants to contact you. If you agree to pay for a call that costs one ruble ten kopecks per minute, press “1”. To refuse, end the call."

If the interlocutor presses one and agrees to pay for the call, you will be able to talk, and the money will be debited from his account after the end of the conversation.

Activation and management of the option

To talk at the expense of another subscriber, you do not need to incur extra costs or activate unnecessary additional options.

All settings are automatically made on the purchased SIM card; you just need to enter the desired combination of numbers. The service is managed through your personal account.

If it is not possible to log in or access it, it is suggested that you contact technical customer support or personally contact any Beeline branch.

How to accept or refuse a call?

If your interlocutor offers to call at your expense, and you do not mind, then after receiving the corresponding request on your phone, press the number 1. If you do not want to, then to refuse, drop the call.

If you refuse to receive requests for your interlocutor to call at your expense, you can set a corresponding ban. In this case, enter the command *155*0# and the call key. You can re-enable the option with another command - *155*1# and the dial key.

The option allows you to make a call at a friend’s expense by contacting a subscriber of any operator with a request to top up your balance even if there are no funds in your account:

• ​activation/deactivation is not necessary;
• ​Use of the service is free;
• ​limit the number of requests – 5 per day, 30 per month.

Before topping up the balance of another number, make sure that it belongs to your friend or relative. Be alert when receiving such messages from unknown contacts.

Restrictions

If you have no money on your phone and need to contact another person, it is important to remember some restrictions:

If this is not possible, you can use it, which will replenish your account in debt. When the required amount is received on your mobile phone, it will be withdrawn as debt repayment.

MTS “Help Out” service

The main difference between the MTS service is that you can not only make a call at the expense of another subscriber, but also send a message - if the subscriber is busy or unavailable at the time of such a call, he will receive a missed message automatically.

You can call MTS at a friend's expense using the 0880 number, which can be used as a prefix, or simply by dialing it from your phone. If you call it, the informant will automatically offer to dial the number of the desired subscriber. Using the number as a prefix, you must enter ten digits of the number, starting with the operator code, without spaces after it, and press call. If the call is made from abroad, then you only need to use the command * 880 * ten-digit number #. The recipient of the call can agree to an answer and, if necessary, receive information about the cost.

Important! If a call comes from abroad, then you can only answer it while in your connection region. The cost of a minute of such a call depends on the country from which the paid call is received - 20 or 80 rubles per minute. Additionally, you can create lists of numbers, calls from which will automatically accept the call without an auto-informer, or, conversely, automatically reject it.

It is worth remembering that the maximum number of numbers for each of the lists is ten.

Three zeros to MegaFon

The functionality of the MegaFon service, which allows you to make a call at the expense of the interlocutor, is similar to MTS, including the ability to communicate at your own expense with subscribers not only of MegaFon, but also of MTS. However, in roaming you can only receive a call at your own expense, and only from a whitelisted number. To make a call at the expense of another MegaFon or MTS subscriber, it is enough to use the prefix of three zeros before the number, starting with the operator code. There is no additional need to activate the service. After dialing the number, all that remains is to wait for the consent or refusal of the called person to accept such a call.

The cost of the service on MegaFon is the highest when compared with MTS and Beeline. Regardless of the region of connection of the called and calling subscribers, a single tariff of five rubles per minute applies. Just like on MTS, you can create white and black lists. The service is managed via SMS by sending commands to number 5084. As on MTS, you can create black and white lists.

The number must be specified with a space after the command. Do not forget that when using a white list of numbers, there will be no automatic notification that the call is toll. Important! The service is automatically activated for subscribers to use if, at the time of outgoing payment, there are no funds on the balance to make it, or there are no package minutes. We recommend disabling auto use of the service.

"White list

If necessary, you can create a list of those from whom the user wants to receive incoming calls at his expense without additional confirmation.

To do this, an SMS is sent to number 5084 with the word “YES” and the number of the subscriber from whom the “Call at the expense of a friend” will take place without confirmation.

"Black list

If desired, Megafon subscribers can set up a ban on such calls. For this purpose, a “black” list of telephone numbers is created, calls from which cannot be made at the user’s expense.

The service is free and simple. If you need to completely prohibit payment for incoming calls from any subscribers, just send an SMS with the “+” symbol to the short number 5084. After this, no one will be able to make calls at the expense of the owner of the SIM card.

If you want to ban a certain number, in the SMS after the “+” symbol indicate the phone number of the subscriber from whom you do not want to receive such calls.

Nuances and limitations

In roaming, unlike making a call at the expense of another person, you can accept an incoming call at your own expense, but only from users on the “white” list. Subscribers not included in it will not be able to use the service.

In this case, the user receiving the call will additionally pay for roaming in accordance with his tariff.

“Call at the expense of a friend” cannot be made to direct landline numbers with code 495. The subscriber simply will not see the incoming call.

Peculiarities

• is not provided to subscribers blocked for non-payment of their bill.
• The service is available to corporate clients.
• During an IVR call to the number of subscriber B, a melody is played to the called subscriber A.
• When the caller is blacklisted by the callee, the call ends without going to the IVR stage. The standard answering machine “communication restriction has been set” is played to the caller.
• When the called party is in a busy state, the call ends without going to the IVR stage. In this case, the standard “busy” answering machine is played to the called subscriber.
