There are situations when you don’t want to talk to certain people, but on their part this desire is not mutual, and they constantly call, making you nervous and checking who called. Modern advertising also bothers me, sometimes even at night. How to save yourself from such troubles without changing your number?
Tele2 has a useful option for this called “Black List”. With its help, you can protect yourself from unwanted calls and messages throughout Russia. Is someone preventing you from sleeping peacefully? Block the number he's calling from!
Description of service
A blacklist is a blocking of calls from certain numbers, and this is a more reliable option, which is implemented at the software level on smartphones in mobile applications. The fact is that the call can be reset programmatically, and the caller will know that the subscriber is available, but does not want to pick up the phone.
In the case of Tele2, this is done at the provider level, and the caller will hear a response from the system that the subscriber is currently unavailable. SMS messages will not be received at all. You can decide for yourself when you will become available for a specific number; turning on/off a number from the current emergency takes a few seconds.
Attention! The capacity of the “Black List” is 200 numbers; if you have more ill-wishers, then you should think about changing your number.
The service is available to any subscriber at any tariff for individuals, with the exception of “Modem”, since it is mainly for the Internet, “M2M”. Some tariffs for legal entities also cannot use this option due to various legal inconsistencies.
Track a Tele2 subscriber with his consent
from Tele2 is good because it does not require any special equipment to determine the coordinates. It is enough for the desired subscriber to have at his disposal only the simplest mobile phone. The same applies to the searching subscriber - he performs a search from his mobile phone, smartphone or computer, using a special interface or receiving data in the form of SMS.
Every mobile phone, even the simplest one, with a monophonic ringer and a monochrome screen, can determine its location based on an analysis of communication parameters with nearby base stations. Subsequently, this information is transmitted to the cellular network and used for official purposes - for example, to ensure a more stable and economical connection with mobile phones and other subscriber devices.
The work from Tele2 is based on this principle - it uses the same data. In order to start tracking a particular subscriber, you need to complete the following steps:
- Connect using the USSD command *119*01#;
- Add the desired subscriber to the list of those being tracked using the USSD command *119*number#;
- Search for the subscriber using the USSD menu *119#, selecting the “Find” item in it.
We will not be able to track a Tele2 subscriber without his consent - after we add the desired number, a request for location will be sent to his phone. If the subscriber confirms this request, we will be able to find out where he is. If he refuses, it will be impossible to establish his location.
All subsequent requests for the location of the desired subscriber, except for the very first one, do not lead to a request for permission - further establishment of coordinates occurs without the participation of the desired one. The desired subscriber can cancel all confirmation data using the USSD command *119*0#.
Management is carried out using the USSD menu *119#. With its help, we can add a subscriber, send a request to search for a particular subscriber, display a list of numbers we are looking for, or remove a particular number from the list. The answer to the subscriber search comes in the form of an SMS, but for a more convenient and visual search it is best to use the web interface https://geo.tele2.ru/ - to access this tool, log in using the password from your “Personal Account” (in the interface there is a corresponding form).
Now let's talk about restrictions, conditions and tariffs. Location requests are not limited in any way. We can add any number of numbers to the search list. In this case, several searching subscribers can search for one number at once (with consent, of course). The service is provided with a small subscription fee - only 2 rubles/day for any number of subscribers you are looking for (even if they are not added ).
And the most important point is that only Tele2 subscribers located in their home region (for example, in Moscow and Moscow Region) are subject to tracking.
How to block a number
Let's look at the brief connection instructions.
- Open the dialing menu for outgoing calls on your phone.
- Enter the combination using the following pattern: *220*1*number#. For example: *220*1*89624238434#.
- Tap on the button to make an outgoing call from the Tele2 SIM card.
- Wait for a notification that the request has been sent successfully.
After some time, you will receive a message from the operator with the status of the request being completed.

Time heals, and the annoying interlocutor can improve, then he should be unblocked again, that is, excluded from the emergency. How to do it?
