It was not by chance that Antiaon included Megafon in its list of proposals. Since there are moments in the lives of each of us when it is necessary to keep our identity secret, the operator decided that it was not worth denying his clients such a whim. Details about this service, as well as the possibility of connecting it to your phone, can be found by reading the article to the end.

What is “AntiAON” from Megafon?
“AntiAON” is a service of the mobile operator Megafon, which allows the user to make calls incognito, that is, it is a classic anti-identifier on the phone.
All mobile operators in Russia have basic services in their arsenal, which are included in all tariff packages and do not require activation. But if the user wishes, less popular functions can be activated on the phone.
Description, types and cost
The main function that the service performs on users’ smartphones is to block the display of information about the caller on the interlocutor’s screen - instead of a combination of numbers and the caller’s name, “Hidden number” or “Unknown caller” will be displayed.
Blocking caller identification is very beneficial in that, having made a call, the user can be sure that he will not receive unwanted feedback, since blocking the caller ID will not reveal his information.
Another important nuance should be considered that AntiAON is active only when making voice calls; it will not be possible to send a text message from a hidden phone.
The operator divided the service into two types, based on user needs:
- One-time service.
- Standard service.
We recommend viewing:
The second type is connected by those users who plan to make hidden calls constantly, and install the service one-time - if the situation in which the ban is necessary is isolated, and in the future the subscriber’s information can be available on subsequent calls.
The cost of the service directly depends on the type chosen:
AntiAON | One-time AntiAON | |
One-time connection fee | 10.00 rub. | for free |
Service cost | 5.00 rub./day | RUR 7.00/request |
Connecting AntiAON to the client’s phone does not affect the cost of outgoing calls - standard tariffs apply for the mobile communications package registered to the user.
IMPORTANT! The pricing information presented in the article is relevant in Moscow and its region. Detailed information regarding the service in other regions can be found on the company’s official website on the Internet.
“Anti-identifier” is an option that allows all subscribers of the company, as well as some other telecom operators, to make calls under an unidentified call. This service is provided only for calls; you cannot, for example, send an anonymous SMS message. The telecom operator has two types of this function: “One-time Anti-AON” and “Anti-AON”. Let's look at them in more detail.
- "One-time AntiAON". This feature allows you to make one unspecified call. To activate it, you must pay for this call.
REFERENCE! The cost of the option is 7 rubles. If the subscriber makes additional anonymous calls, he will pay more money for them.
No preliminary connection is required, it is possible to activate at any convenient time, and is also available to any subscriber of the company.
- "AntiAON". If you plan to make calls regularly, then it will be more profitable to use this service.
REFERENCE! Its cost is 5 rubles per day. It is much cheaper than the above option. The subscription fee will be debited daily.
The function will be active for an unlimited amount of time until you disable it. If the subscriber changes his tariff plan, “Anti-determiner” will be active in the future.
How to connect “AntiAON” and one-time “AntiAON” on Megafon?
Unlike the basic identifier, the definition prohibition service is not included in the default tariff, but is included in the list of those available for use. Therefore, in order to use it, you must activate it.
ATTENTION ! Before activating, you need to make sure that it is in the active list, since its active status will not make it possible to activate AntiAON for the subscriber in the device.
As with many services, Megafon provides several options for activating AntiAON for a subscriber :
- Call Megafon support service at 0500 with a request for activation.
- For owners of the Personal Account, enabling the anti-caller ID is even easier - you just need to make changes in the “Options and Services” section. Here you can perform any other actions with your tariff package if you do not want to waste valuable time waiting for a connection with a hotline operator.
- By sending SMS of arbitrary content or without it to 000105501.
- By executing the USSD command *105*501# with a call button at the end, the service will be connected automatically.
Megafon's corporate clients can connect to this service directly at the service office. Ordinary clients can also turn there if none of the above methods suits them.
If there is no need for constant masking and you need to hide the number for only one call, then it is better to install the service for 1 time. To do this, you first need to disable the number transfer function in your device and perform the following USSD request: *31*user phone number to which you want to make a call# .
After pressing the call button, the device will automatically begin connecting with the subscriber specified in the request. After the call is completed, the settings must be returned to their original position, otherwise a ban fee will be charged for each call, which will lead to unnecessary expenses for mobile communications.
How to find out if you have the service connected on your phone
There are several ways to check whether the Megafon call protection function is working on your phone:
- You can check the availability of the “hide” function in your personal account. To do this, go to the page and go to the “My Services” section. Here you will see a complete list of options activated on your SIM card;
- You can determine whether a feature is available on your mobile device by submitting a system request. To do this, dial * 583 # on your mobile phone and press the call button. In a few minutes you will receive a response message with the information you need
There are situations in life when you need to remain anonymous so that the person on the other end of the line cannot discover your personal data. The article reveals the main ways to hide your number on Megafon.
Service management
Another benefit of caller protection is how easy it is to use.
In fact, once connected, the subscriber does not need to do anything for it to work. All outgoing calls from this number will be confidential.
Examples of using the option.
To declassify a number for a caller, you need to proceed according to the following scheme:
- Click the Dial icon.
- Dial the function code on the keyboard: * 31#.
- Dial the number of the person you are calling.
- Then press the call button.
In addition, it is easy to manage connection, disconnection and one-time use of the service.
Disabling AntiAON
If you need to cancel your subscription to the Caller ID barring service, you can disable the Caller ID service in several ways:
- Turn off using a simple special command *105*501*0# and call.
- You can remove the detection blocking by calling the support service at 0500 .
- The phone will be identified during calls to other Megafon subscribers if you set the appropriate settings in your Personal Account.
- In any city in Russia, specialists from Megafon service centers will never refuse assistance in setting up mobile communications.
The phone does not need to disable one-time Anti-AON, since this service is not connected to it, but is activated only at the moment of calling the desired number.
How the service works
Many Megafon clients regularly use the Caller ID option and respond positively to it.
When they call, the other party's screen displays a "number hidden" message. Any subscriber of the operator can “hide” numbers, regardless of the active tariff plan. The AntiAON service is provided both one-time and on an ongoing basis. If the subscriber changes the tariff, he will continue to work under the same conditions.
The number hiding feature does not provide complete anonymity. Therefore, it is not recommended to name serious organizations. It will not be difficult for them to find out information about the subscriber. Also AntiAON does not always work in the following situations:
- the called party has SuperAON connected;
- the call is made to the number of another operator.
- the client is in a roaming zone;
You can turn this feature on or off any day. The subscriber performs all actions regarding this option independently, using the interfaces offered by the telecom operator. More detailed information about the service can be found on the company’s main resource or by calling 0500.
Can a subscriber find out Megafon's hidden number?
The service is available only for calls, and it does not apply to other functions (sending SMS and MMS messages) - in these cases, the subscriber’s number will be determined, as always. The same applies to calls to users of other operators, but sometimes the function works.
But not only when making calls to other operators, it is possible to find out hidden information incognito. Megafon users can also bypass the number identification ban by activating a special operator service - Super Caller ID. With it, the subscriber will not be disturbed by any “spy”.
Interaction with SuperAON
In some situations, it will not be possible to hide your contact, even with the Anti-AON function installed:
- If the “Super Caller ID” option is installed on the number of a specific subscriber.
- The interlocutor uses , “Call at a friend’s expense” or “Additional city number”.
Final word
Different people have very different tastes and wishes, so Megafon is ready to accommodate everyone. Studying the demand of its users, Megafon is constantly expanding the range of services for them - this is how AntiAON appeared.
This is also a very useful function for the operator’s corporate clients, when it is necessary to make a large number of calls for advertising and other purposes.
