Every time you make calls to mobile numbers of users of any cellular operators, your number becomes visible to the person you are calling and remains in the records of incoming calls. Don't want your number to be identified? The mobile operator Megafon provides this opportunity to its subscribers with the Anti Caller ID service (AON is an abbreviation for Automatic Number Identifier).
What type of service is there, to whom it is available, in what cases it will work and how to manage it, read our review.
Types of service
MegaFon offers its subscribers to use two types of services:
- One-time Anti-AON – when you dial a number specifically, you hide your number one-time.
- AntiAON – when activating a permanent service, you will always hide your number.
In the case of a constantly active service, there is an additional opportunity to make your number visible one-time using a special dial for an outgoing call.
Important! For outgoing calls, the cost of tariffication according to the main tariff is summed up with the payment for using “One-time Anti-AON”.
Service restrictions
Will using Anti Caller ID hide your number in all cases? Not all - there are significant restrictions on the service. When using always-on ANTI Caller ID
- Your number may be detected if you call the numbers of subscribers of other cellular operators.
- The number will be determined if you sent an SMS message.
- The number will be identified if it makes a “Call at a friend’s expense”.
- The number will be determined if you use .
- The number will be determined if the subscriber you are calling uses .
And with “One-time AntiAON” the following restrictions are added to the first list:
- The service does not work when roaming.
- The service will not work for calls to city landline numbers (the fee for use will be charged).
- The service is mutually exclusive with .
What is the price?
What is the cost of activation and use of the service? The service is paid, but the connection itself costs nothing. For one-time use, the call is charged using a code that hides the number. When connecting on an ongoing basis, a daily subscription fee is charged.
Attention! When changing the tariff plan, the service is not disabled.
The cost of the service depends on the region where the SIM card was purchased:
- One-time use can cost from 5 to 7 rubles per call.
- Constant use from 3 to 5 rubles per day.
The cost of the service in your region can be found out on the operator’s website at https://megafon.ru/services/communicate/number_anti_determinant/number_anti_determinant.html, if you select the region you are interested in in the top right menu.
Important! If you use a permanent Caller ID, then when you open it one-time using a special set, you will not be charged for such an action.
Peculiarities
Incognito mode hides your phone for outgoing calls only. When sending SMS and MMS, receiving incoming calls, anonymity does not apply. Connection and use of the option on an ongoing basis is only available within your home region. It is automatically disabled while roaming. The function is included in the basic tariff package. To activate, you must select the appropriate settings through the user menu in the application or website, or use a special combination. Anonymity is ensured only if the Megafon network operates.
Restrictions
Incognito mode does not work if the called subscriber has the “Super Caller ID” function enabled. It neutralizes incognito mode. Also, it does not apply when using communication options through another client’s mobile account, for example, “Call at a friend’s expense.” If there are no funds to charge the subscription fee, a restriction on the use of the option is established.
A lot of Russian mobile operators today offer various useful options. They are provided to subscribers both free and for a fee. In addition, operators offer not only profitable options, but also excellent tariff plans that can accommodate a whole range of package services. But today in the review we will talk about an inconspicuous service from MegaFon. In other words, the abbreviation can be deciphered as an anti-identifier.
All people know that if you do not use additional options, the number will always be displayed when making an outgoing call. But if you use, the subscriber’s number will not be available for viewing. And the person to whom the call is made will not see the phone number, but “Number hidden.” This way, customers can keep their phone number secret.
It is worth noting that the hidden number rule will not always work. MegaFon also has another service, after activation of which “AntiAON” ceases to operate. This is the “SuperAON” option.
How to connect and disconnect
Since the types of services are different, the service is used in two ways.
- One-time Anti-AON is activated by dialing a special combination when making an outgoing call. No other connections are required for this feature. A call with one-time number hiding is made by special dialing: #31#ХХХХХХХХХХХ (where ХХХХХХХХХХХ is the number of the called subscriber in 11-digit format, including 8), then sending the call with the dial button.
- Permanent AntiAON is connected using the USSD command *221# sent from your device or in your Personal Account. The service can also be disabled using the USSD *221# command and through your web account. Additionally, you can manage the service (turn it on or off) in the mobile application or with the help of the operator’s consultants.
An additional option with which you can show your number to the recipient of the call one-time is triggered when dialing the called subscriber according to the scheme: #31#ХХХХХХХХХХХ (where ХХХХХХХХХХ is the number of the called subscriber in 11-digit format, including 8), then sending a call with the dial button.
When you use the service, you agree to the terms of the Offer Agreement. The full text of the agreement can be read here: https://megafon.ru/download/~federal/oferts/antiaon.pdf.
Description
As mentioned above, the service allows you to block the display of a phone number to other subscribers. Hidden number guarantees by MegaFon are provided only for action within the network. Calls to other telecom operators do not guarantee number encryption. It is also worth noting that when sending text or multimedia messages, the number will not be hidden. The service only applies to calls.
The service will not be able to connect and work correctly with the Additional city number option. For proper operation and the ability to activate the service, you should refuse the option.
Service cost
Regarding the cost of the service provided, subscribers will need to pay a certain amount to activate the service. At the time of connection, 10 rubles will be debited from your balance. As for disconnection, there is no charge. The service is also available for use on a subscription fee. The subscription fee is charged on a daily basis. It is 5 rubles/day. For this service, no further debits from the balance are provided.

- “AntiAON” can be enabled via a service combination set. You should enter *105*501#. After the call is made, the option will be activated and the required amount will be debited from the account.

One-time “AntiAON”
MegaFon offers its customers not only the use of AntiAON on an ongoing basis. You can also subscribe to the service to make a one-time call. The phone number itself will be hidden after using the service. The cost, of course, of such a function is higher than using a standard anti-identifier and amounts to 7 rubles per call.

To use the one-time AntiAON service, you must dial the service combination #31#number of the called subscriber. After dialing the number this way, you can make a call and the number will be hidden.
It is also possible to use the option using another method. To do this, you need to go to your phone settings, and then find the calls section. It should have a tab “Transfer your number”.

Description of the “Super Caller ID” option from Megafon
Those subscribers who have received calls from unknown phones know that this quality of communication does not always bring positive emotions: unwanted advertising, intrusive calls from banks, people with bad intentions .
It is especially unpleasant when anonymous people call at a late time or at moments when attention requires concentration on something else, and not on who it might be. This will be avoided by activating a useful function on Megafon - Super Caller ID, which, even with encryption, will identify the calling subscriber and indicate to you his number .

Step 2. We notice that at the very end of the proposed functions there is what we need (“Caller ID”) and click on it.
Step 3. Allow Yandex to make and manage phone calls.
Step 4. If required, in the phone settings we open access to contacts and phone.
Step 5. If it tells you that in order to grant or revoke permission you must first disable overlays, then do the following - open the settings.
And we simply allow overlay on top of other windows.
Step 6. And voila, congratulations! You have connected caller ID and can now use the new service for your pleasure.
I would also like to note that if Yandex was unable to identify the caller, then after the call you are asked to leave a review of the number from which they called you and write the reason why they called you: they tried to deceive you, were silent on the phone, conducted a survey, demanded a debt, imposed services, etc. etc. If you miss a call, you can also view information about the call later.
