Sometimes people are faced with a situation where they need to re-register a Beeline SIM card registered to another person. This will be easy with the participation of the owner. Otherwise, you will have to consider alternative options, since it is not always possible to re-register a Beeline SIM card in your name without the owner.
Sometimes a Beeline SIM card needs to be reissued.
Conditions for re-registration
Proper re-registration of the number will not cause problems when using this number in the future.
The number re-registration procedure will go well if the following conditions are met:
- The current owner has no debts. If you have a negative balance, top up your account.
- The phone number must be active. It is often blocked due to debts incurred for mobile services or by court decision.
- You must make timely payments for services and disable those options that are no longer useful.
- To re-register, you need to visit the Beeline office.
Features for corporate clients
When using tariffs for corporate clients, you will have to provide more documents.
The package of papers should include:
- identification document of the cardholder;
- company power of attorney signed by the general director;
- a document confirming the state registration of the company;
- certificate of registration of a legal entity;
- application for re-registration.
Otherwise, the procedure for re-registration is no different.
Why do you need to re-register a device or number?
It’s worth renewing your SIM, if only because when you contact the operator about some issue, they will certainly ask you for your passport. If the data provided does not match those specified in the contract, Beeline specialists will refuse to provide the service. When you are not the owner of the number, you cannot choose a tariff plan or replace your SIM if it is lost.
If you register the device in your own name, you will protect yourself from the actions of intruders. The ex-owner can pursue selfish goals by passing his SIM card from hand to hand.
Be extremely careful when purchasing SIMs outside of Beeline offices. In most cases, this risks you becoming a victim of scammers who will gain access to your personal data.
When you need to re-register a number, do it with reliable people and only in the presence of Beeline specialists. This ensures that you will not be deceived in the future.
Where can I re-register?
To re-register the card, the subscriber will need to personally contact the sales department. After providing a number of documents, the employee will carry out the operation. To reissue a Beeline SIM card, you need to contact an office in a locality located in the region where it was originally purchased.
Advantages of SIM card owners:
- possibility of locking and unlocking;
- having access to funds on the balance sheet and the right to withdraw them to a bank account;
- availability of services.
Reasons for refusal to change ownership
The operator has the right to refuse to change the SIM owner for a number of reasons:
- The data provided by the current owner of the SIM card does not match those stored in the provider’s client database. If you have changed your passport, be sure to provide this information to the operator.
- A private person who comes to the company’s office instead of another person must present a power of attorney certified by a notary. Legal entities are required to have a power of attorney from the organization in the name of the employee with a signature and seal. Without this document, no operation can be carried out.
- There are debts on the current number. The balance must be exclusively positive. If you have any problems regarding financial issues, call the call center at 8-800 700 06 28 or 0628.
- Be prepared to prove to the provider that you are using a SIM card (call other subscribers, write SMS, top up your account, etc.). If the operator has doubts, he may refuse to change ownership.
The balance of the re-registered number must be positive.
In what cases is it impossible to register a number for the new owner?
It is impossible to carry out the procedure for changing the card holder in the following cases:
- The SIM balance is negative at the time of application, there are debts.
- The application was filled out incorrectly, incorrect passport information was provided, or something was missing.
- The new client has not reached the age of majority and is trying to enter into an agreement on his own behalf. In this case, the participation of a legal representative: a parent or guardian will be required.
- The legal representative (including the guardian) tries to make a transaction on behalf of the represented person in relation to himself. For example, he transfers his number to the person he represents or, conversely, wants to register his number in his name without the participation of the owner.
Sometimes the reason for failure is a technical failure on the part of the operator. Normally, an SMS message about a change of card holder arrives within 1-2 weeks. If you still have not received confirmation, check your “Personal Account”. Perhaps the owner has changed, and the lack of SMS is due to problems on the line. If re-registration has not occurred within 2 weeks and there are no notifications, contact the office. Employees will inform you of the reason for the refusal and how to resolve the problem.
Re-registration with the consent of the former owner
In order not to receive a refusal from the operator when re-issuing a number, check the SIM card for compliance with the agreed conditions, prepare all the necessary documents and carefully study the algorithm for further actions.
Required documents
When contacting your mobile operator, take with you:
- Application form with the signature of the owner for individuals and the signature of the general director and the wet seal of the organization for business representatives. You will find a sample on the official Beeline website in the “Changing number owner” section: moskva.beeline.ru/customers/pomosh/mobile/tarify-i-uslugi/sim-karta-i-nomer/smena-vladeltsa-nomera/.
- Passport . This document will be useful to both the current owner and the future.
- Contract for services. If the new user of the SIM card is a legal entity, he must confirm the registration and tax registration of the company, and also present the passport of the head of the company. The representative must have a power of attorney to enter into an agreement with Beeline.

The balance on the phone must be positive, and all services provided must be paid on time.
After this, head to the Beeline salon. If you are someone’s authorized representative, then, in addition to your passport, the employee must present a power of attorney from a notary. The legal entity must, among other things, have with it an official power of attorney from the organization.
Actions of the current owner
The subscriber for whom the previous SIM owner wanted to register a number must come to the company branch. There the contract will be concluded. You need to bring your passport and/or notarized power of attorney.
Legal entities must provide the same package of documents as old users of the number. When a Beeline specialist accepts the documents, you need to sign an agreement and make an advance payment for the postpaid payment system. Upon completion of the re-registration procedure, the money will be debited from the account.
The new owner of the SIM card, for further use, is required to enter into an agreement with the operator.

Re-registration procedure without the old owner
Before you re-register a Beeline SIM card for yourself without the owner, keep in mind that the operator will need six months to make sure that you are fully using its services. Otherwise, the deal will be declared invalid.
To approve the application, save 10 incoming and outgoing calls on your phone, provide SMS correspondence, receipts for payment for communication services, and use up part of your mobile Internet traffic.
The provider can make a request for the last 5 transactions. As soon as you visit the Beeline office and write an application for re-registration of the number, it will be sent for consideration.
Then the manager will contact you and tell you about the decision made on the appeal. If it turns out to be positive, you will have to wait 6 months. During this time, the current owner of the SIM card may appear. Then the operator will not have the right to transfer the number to you, because the law is completely on the side of the old user.
Re-registration of a Beeline number from a legal entity to an individual
You can register a Beeline SIM card in your name, if the current owner is a legal entity, as follows:
- A legal entity needs to print out a form for re-registration of a number and then fill it out.
- Confirm the application with the seal of the organization and the signature of the general director.
- Top up your balance if it is currently negative.
- Contact the Beeline office. The presence of the current owner is not necessary if the application for renewal of the contract from a legal entity is in the hands of the new owner.
An individual must come to the Beeline office with a passport. You will also need to sign an Agreement for the provision of communication services, and then pay a guarantee fee and re-registration service.
Is it possible to do this through “Personal Account”
You cannot re-register a number through your “Personal Account”. For all questions, please contact the company's showrooms. A list of offices providing this service is presented on the official Beeline website in the “Offices and Coverage” section moskva.beeline.ru/customers/beeline-map/.

Why is it worth re-issuing a SIM card for yourself?
The fact is that only its nominal owner has the rights to a SIM card. That is, the one whose name is written in the contract. A person who simply uses the number, in fact, does not have any rights to manipulate the card. For example, if your card breaks, no one will give you a replacement at the mobile operator’s office. An ordinary everyday situation, which, unfortunately, very often becomes real.
But that's not all. If the real owner of the number is an unscrupulous person, then by his grace you can find yourself in an extremely unpleasant situation. For example, the owner can rightfully block a SIM card (by the way, you cannot do this). The owner can quite legally use your funds, which are currently on the balance sheet. It is also very likely that he can secretly connect you to some services that will simply “eat up” your money. Not to mention the fact that he can easily transfer funds from “his” SIM card and use them. Beeline even has a service for withdrawing money from your account to a bank card.

So you definitely need to re-register the SIM card in your name. It's safer this way. And it’s much calmer when you know for sure that you are the rightful owner of your SIM and personal account. The main thing is not to delay this procedure. Otherwise, it’s quite possible to get into trouble.
What to do if a change of owner is not documented
If the operator refuses to re-register the number, you will have a backup option - change the SIM card to a new one. You need to provide the specialist with a passport, fill out an application and sign a service agreement. You will receive a SIM card with a different number.
It’s worth thinking a few times before applying for someone else’s card in your name. The true owner may suddenly remember about the SIM, call the Hotline and ask to block it. You won’t be able to show anything to the company, all you have to do is throw away the SIM card.
Whoever owns the SIM on paper can gain access to your finances. If he manages to spend it, it will be extremely difficult to prove his case in court. Legally, the truth will be on the side of the owner of the number.
Service cost
What is the price? For the service, 50 rubles will be debited from your account.

You can fill out the papers together with the first owner, or with his participation, but in another office, or without this person at all. Although the last option is the most difficult. You can be a representative of another person or re-register a SIM card for yourself. There will be no problems if there are no debts on the account or they have been repaid. But you can find out what to do if the SIM card does not work by following the link.
