The “Favorite Number” service from Beeline is a special offer that allows you to communicate with selected numbers on more favorable terms. This option is often used to communicate with loved ones and friends with whom conversations take the most time. But in addition to time, this also has a significant impact on the state of the balance sheet, so halving the cost will come in handy.
In this article we will look at all aspects of this service, its cost, connection and management methods.
“Favorite number” service on Beeline
You can make the number that is used most often as your favorite number. That is, it can be not only close people, but also, for example, work colleagues or regular clients. Your favorite contact can be not only mobile, but also landline. At the same time, the cost of the call, although it will decrease, will still depend on the prices on the connected tariff plan.
Initially, the function allowed you to add any five numbers, but over time their number was reduced to 3. Naturally, the more subscribers are connected, the more expensive it will be. But as a result, in comparison with standard tariffs, it will be more profitable. The option gives a 50% discount for calls to your favorite numbers. The restrictions on tariff plans are minor, but they exist. Subscribers who took part in the “Summer Unlimited” promotion cannot activate it. Just like the owners of the “GO 2012” tariff.
You can add any contacts (according to your home region of connection), except for short numbers (service numbers). The offer is valid only in Russia and does not apply to roaming. If the tariff plan includes a reserve of limited minutes, the service is activated after they are exhausted.
Attention! Owners of tariffs operating on a prepaid payment system can add or delete numbers only by contacting company employees. You can do this by calling 0611; you need to have your passport with you to confirm your data.
You can change your list of numbers at any time and without restrictions on the number, but all these elements are paid. If there are 2 contacts in it and you need to add another one, when entering a request you must enter those that already exist.
Details
The monthly service fee begins to be charged the moment you add your first favorite number.
As your favorite, you can select the number of MTS and Vodafone Ukraine or MTS Armenia subscribers using the following codes:
Armenia MTS: +37477, +37493, +37494, +37498, +37449, +37488 Ukraine MTS and Vodafone: +38050, +38066, +38095, +38099.

The option does not apply to forwarded and CSD calls.
When turned off, the last favorite number is turned off automatically. If you want to add your favorite numbers again, you need to reconnect.
In May 2021, one of the leading companies providing cellular communication services on the Russian market, MTS, offered its customers a new service. The unique option “Favorite number of Ukraine and Armenia” is intended for those who constantly or for a long time communicate with subscribers from these regions, which by all accounts is not cheap. This mainly concerns conversations with subscribers from Ukraine. The offer from MTS allows you to make calls to selected numbers for a once-set fee once a month and thereby save significantly.
How to connect any numbers
To connect to your favorite number, Beeline provides 3 different methods:
- Using your Personal Account. If you have not yet registered on the site, you can receive a temporary login and password. To do this, you need to dial *110*9# on your phone, after which you will receive an SMS with the necessary data. So, after registration, you need to log in, to do this, go to the official website of the operator (according to your home region) and in the upper right corner click on the “Personal Account” tab. Then we find the “Service Management” item there. We look for the one we need and connect it. To check the status of the application, you can go to the “Requests” section and click the “Run” button.
- Special USSD code. The combination to activate this function looks like this: *139*881*subscriber number#. With this set you can connect only one number at a time. In order to add 3 contacts at once, you need to dial: *139*883*number of the first subscriber*second*third#.
Important! When writing a number, you do not need to enter “8”. Everything else is standard.
- Through the SIM card menu. This section on your phone can be found in settings or among application shortcuts. On devices running Android, it is in the menu, and on iOS it is in the settings (section “Phone” -> “SIM Programs”). On older devices, such a menu may be located in the “Services” or “Applications” sections. We go into it and find the “Other services” tab. From the list, select the “Favorite number” option. Further adding will not cause any special difficulties, you just need to follow the program prompts.
Review
Every day subscribers make a huge number of calls in different directions. We each have a small circle of trusted people with whom we interact most throughout the day. Now you can significantly reduce your costs for cellular services, calls and correspondence with loved ones, friends and relatives. All this is possible thanks to the Favorite MTS number service. Today in the review we will take a closer look at this option and analyze its features, as well as the terms of provision.
How to disable the “Favorite number” service
You can also deactivate the option in several ways:
- Through your personal account. The registration and authorization procedure is exactly the same as when connecting. Just instead of enabling, you need to choose the opposite, all in the same “Service Management” section.
- Via USSD request. It should be borne in mind that this combination disables the entire service as a whole, and not any individual contact. To do this, dial *139*880# on your phone. Usually deactivation occurs within a few minutes, but in some cases you will have to wait longer.
- With the help of an operator. Beeline help desk employees can help you disable your favorite number; their number is 0611. However, in this case, activation will cost 30 rubles more. You can also add contacts using this method and with the same markup.
- In the company's showroom. If you have any difficulties with the above methods, you can contact the nearest Beeline salon. A complete list of their addresses can be found on the operator’s official website. You only need to have your phone and passport with you.
About the operator and service
MTS is one of the leaders in the Russian cellular communications market. The reasons for the company's popularity are quite simple:
- A large number of available tariffs. Clients can always choose a suitable plan.
- Optimal prices for services.
- The company invests heavily in marketing and market promotion.
- Constantly improves the quality of communication.
- Offers ample opportunities for subscribers.
MTS has many additional options. They improve conditions and save money. This fact also attracts customers.
The MTS Favorite number service in Ukraine and Armenia is a popular offer. Don’t want to overpay when calling subscribers from these countries? Then you should use the presented solution.
Price
Almost every aspect of this service is paid, from connecting to adding/removing a contact.
For activating the option, 15 rubles will be debited from your account. So this is the minimum that should be on the balance sheet. In addition, there is a subscription fee, it is small and amounts to 1 ₽ per day. Money will be withdrawn even if the service is never used during the day, so for a month of use you need to pay 30 ₽. You can give this amount either immediately or through daily payments. Both prepayment and postpayment are available.
If you don’t want to bother with activation yourself, you can use the help of an operator. However, in this case, the connection will cost not 15, but 45 rubles.
Changing/adding a number is also paid; you can do this either yourself or, again, with the help of support center employees. In the case of carrying out this operation manually, the amount will be debited from the account.
15 ₽. And through operator services – 45 ₽. If you add three contacts at once, the activation cost will be 35 ₽, and the subscription fee will be 50 kopecks more expensive, that is, 1.5 ₽/day.
All of the above prices do not take into account possible bonuses and discounts included in some tariff plans. Therefore, before connecting your “Favorite Number” on Beeline, you should familiarize yourself in detail with all the details of your tariff.
Alternative
This option is not suitable for all subscribers. Some customers do not make many calls to these states. In this case, the operator has an alternative option - “Profitable calls to other countries.”
Let's study the conditions for this offer:
- Calls to MTS Ukraine and Vodafone - 2.5 rubles.
- At Vivasell – 1 ruble.
- Subscription fee – 0 rub.
Prices apply for a total call duration of 60 minutes per day. Starting from 61 minutes the cost will be 5 rubles.
This offer will be an excellent solution for connection. The key advantage is the complete absence of subscription fees. You don't have to pay for the service; you can save a certain amount.
Disadvantage - preferential prices apply only to numbers of specific operators. Therefore, your relatives will have to connect to them so that you can save on calls.
Let's sum it up
The “Favorite Number” service will be useful for subscribers who spend most of their conversational time communicating with one or more people. Thanks to this offer, tariffs will be halved, and this will more than cover the costs of connecting and adding a number.
Activating the service and adding a number will not take much time. Especially if you register on the operator’s official website, in your Personal Account. From there you can comfortably not only connect, but manage all your services. If for some reason no remote methods are suitable, then there is an option to contact the nearest Beeline salon, where qualified workers will do everything themselves.
The cost benefit can be calculated independently. After all, it may turn out that in general it will be more expensive than charging on a tariff plan. If you add only one number per month, it will cost approximately 60 rubles (if you connect independently). If you spend more monthly on communicating with this person, you can safely connect.

User reviews from Beeline
Irina, 23 years old, Moscow: “A year ago I moved to another city, and my mother, who found it difficult to get used to various messengers, often called. This took a lot of money.
Then I connected her “Favorite number”, and now we talk for free. My mother’s communication expenses a month before connecting the service were approximately 1,500 rubles, and now it’s just a subscription fee.”
Tatyana, 32 years old, Surgut: “When my husband began to travel frequently on business trips, our communication costs increased sharply. Moreover, it is not always possible to replace communication on a mobile phone with the Internet, since the spouse is in remote corners of the country, where it is difficult to get a connection, not to mention LTE.
To save money, I considered different options. First I changed the tariff to “All for the Family”, and then I saw that it had the “Favorite Number” option. I connected for myself and my husband – now we can chat as much as we want for free.”
Oleg, 64 years old, Kineshma: “I remember 10 years ago. It was much cheaper with her. Then she disappeared somewhere, and recently my son called and said that he accidentally found this service again on the Beeline website. He sent an SMS with the combination, I entered and activated the option. Now we call each other every day.”
