Is it possible to re-register a Beeline SIM card to yourself without the owner?

For various reasons, many people use numbers that were assigned to them by someone else - friends, relatives or just good acquaintances. But using someone else's SIM card for a long time can be problematic. If only because if it is lost without the owner, it will not be possible to reissue it, or switch to another operator while maintaining the number.

Therefore, it is important to know how to re-register a SIM card owner and what is needed for this. Our article will tell you about all the nuances in detail.

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.

Re-registration without the presence of the SIM card owner

One can only sympathize with subscribers who, without malicious intent, want to re-register a telephone number in their name without the participation of its owner. The fact is that on Beeline it is impossible to change the owner of a SIM card without the mutual consent of both parties. Especially if the number is linked to a bank card and various Internet services.

At the moment, the above rule applies to all regions where Beeline operates. No amount of persuasion can influence the company's employees. The most correct way out in this situation is to buy a new SIM card, register it in your name, and then completely disconnect from the old number.

If you still have questions related to re-issuing a SIM card from Beeline, you can leave them in the comments under the article or ask a representative of the cellular company. You can reach a representative using one of the methods described in the article “How to contact a Beeline operator.”

How to apply for yourself

It is easier to re-register an agreement when both people take part in the procedure: the current owner of the SIM card and the future owner. Algorithm of actions:

• the current user must fill out an application and pay for communication services (if there is a debt);
• a new subscriber needs to sign an agreement and top up the number balance (for a tariff based on a prepaid payment system).

The Beeline employee will enter the updated information into the system database and the operation will be completed.

Conditions and cost of re-registration

Re-registration of a number for a new subscriber implies the presence of a number of mandatory conditions:

• No debts on your personal account.
• Having a passport.
• Documents allowing the operation to be carried out if a personal visit by the owner of the SIM card is not possible.

The fee for re-issuing a number is carried out at the current rate, depending on the region. The data is shown in the table:

But in addition to the standard fee for performing the procedure, the following nuances must be taken into account:

• The fee is charged for the selected tariff, which will be activated on the new number. If you pay monthly, the full amount will be debited from your personal account 30 days in advance.
• All funds from the personal account will be transferred to the new owner's personal account.
• If there is a debt, the re-registration procedure will not be performed.

In addition, the SIM card registered to the new owner will be automatically unlinked from all existing programs. Thus, all accumulated bonuses in the “MTS bonus” program will be reset, the memory of the “MTS cashback” option will be deleted, and all numbers from the “Black List” will be unblocked. Previously connected paid services will be automatically disabled. You can reconnect all the necessary options directly during a visit to the company’s office or do it later using your personal account.

All disputes and disagreements related to the material side of the issue must be settled by the parties independently, without interference from MTS. Therefore, the previous and future owners should study the issue in advance and clarify how and for what funds can be written off during the re-registration procedure.

Carrying out the procedure without the owner of the SIM card

It is more difficult to re-register a Beeline SIM card in your name without the owner. The citizen will need to fill out an application and confirm that he is using the number.

The entire process takes up to 180 days. Time is given to the former owner so that he has the opportunity to prevent the change. At the end of the allotted period, the operator will inform the subscriber of the need to come to the office and conclude an agreement.

When you sign up for a new service agreement, the physical copy of the card is replaced, so it is recommended to copy contacts from the SIM to the device memory.

If the owner is willing to participate

If the cardholder cannot visit the office in person to re-issue a Beeline number, but is ready to participate in the procedure, then you can change the owner of the SIM remotely. The application is accepted online; this opportunity has become available since May 2021.

The form and example of filling out the application are available for download on the official Internet portal of Beeline. You will need to fill out the document, attach a scanned first page of your passport and send it to the Beeline email address.

The processing time for an application submitted online is 3–10 business days. Once the transaction is approved, the new owner will be asked to come to the customer service department to formalize the contract.

If he cannot or does not want to participate

When the person holding the card cannot write an application for re-registration, the process becomes more complicated. To complete the transaction, the subscriber will need to confirm that he is using the number. Required:

• information about the last 10 incoming and outgoing calls (numbers, call duration);
• 5 checks, receipts or statements from bank cards about replenishing the phone balance.

Having this information, the citizen can contact the office and submit an application. In special cases, the company meets halfway and re-issues the contract without data. Such issues are considered on an individual basis. You can clarify the details and algorithm of actions by calling customer support 8-800-700-06-28.

If the owner of the number has passed away

When a SIM owner change is performed due to the death of the previous owner, the procedure can be performed in two ways:

1. Providing confirmation of the fact of using the card. Re-registration will occur six months after submitting the application. If a citizen attaches a medical death certificate to the package of documents, then a new agreement is signed upon contacting the department.
2. Inheritance of property. When a citizen takes ownership, he can provide a certificate of inheritance and a passport to the company office. No additional information is required; the contract will be renewed upon submission of the application.

Re-registration of a corporate number for an individual

There are situations when it is necessary to transfer a number from a legal entity to an individual. There are no problems with this operation; the algorithm has long been provided for and is effectively practiced by all providers:

1. The transmitting and receiving parties must appear at the same time at the telecom operator’s office.
2. Each party must have an identification document in hand. On the part of the legal entity, the representative will need a power of attorney or a seal.
3. In the presence of the manager of the communication salon, each party signs an application for re-registration of the number.
4. The future user pays a fee for the operation.
5. The operator notifies the parties about the outcome of the procedure within 2 weeks after filing the application.

A legal entity can be represented by a direct manager or an employee acting on the basis of a power of attorney sealed with a blue seal.

Required documents

To change the owner of a SIM card, you need to provide:

• general passport;
• an application filled out according to a unified template.

If the owner is an organization, then you will additionally need:

• notarized power of attorney for the right to conclude such agreements on behalf of a legal entity;
• a copy of the company registration certificate of their Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
• a copy of the certificate of registration of the organization with the Federal Tax Service.

We recommend: Tricky ways to find out who the SIM card is registered to

You can view the sample you need to use to fill out an application and download the form on the official Internet portal:

• “Help” tab;
• section “SIM card and number”;
• item “Change number owner”;
• column "Documents".

The document indicates:

• personal information about the owner (full name, series and number of passport, contacts) or information about a legal entity (name, form and date of registration, location address);
• information about the person for whom the contract is being renewed (full name, passport details);
• item on balance balance (transfer to number or withdrawal to specified details);
• agreement to pay the cost of the tariff and service;
• Date of preparation;
• signature with transcript.

Application samples:

Transfer of MTS number from a legal entity to an individual

In order for the contract to be transferred from a legal entity to an individual, the latter must provide a passport and be personally present when signing the transfer act. In this case, an official representative from the company comes to the office and brings 3 papers.

1. Application for adding the option “International and national roaming”. Certified by the director or authorized representative if the necessary powers are available.
2. Letter of guarantee on MTS letterhead. An empty one can be downloaded from the operator’s website in “Documents” or obtained from the service office. The document is certified by the seal of the enterprise and the signature of the manager.
3. Power of attorney for a representative of the company indicating personal data and rights.

If it is impossible to reissue a SIM card

Approval of the operation is refused for the following reasons:

• lack of information to confirm the fact of use;
• presence of errors in the application;
• lack of money in the SIM personal account.

It is enough to correct the mistake and provide a complete set of documents, after which the application will be approved.

When contacting without the owner, it will be impossible to complete the operation if within 180 days he claims his rights to the number. Then the number will be blocked, since the owner will be given a physical copy of the SIM card.

Using a SIM card that is not yours does not mean that the subscriber cannot manage the services and number. To gain full access to the capabilities of controlling the balance, connecting and disabling options, you need to contact a Beeline branch and submit an application for renewal of the contract.

Summary

Re-registering a Beeline number to yourself is not such a complicated procedure. Most of the fuss will be with papers and documents. In the case of legal entities, this is very important. In some cases, you can even do without contacting the nominal owner of the SIM card. To clarify all the nuances of this operation, you can call 8-800-700-0628. There they will not only answer your pressing questions, but also inform you about the cost of the service and the financial condition of the subscriber’s personal account. And it’s definitely worth re-registering the contract in your name. This will help you avoid a lot of minor troubles in the future. You also need to become a full-fledged owner of a SIM card because it will be much easier to manage your personal account. And sometimes this is precisely the most important thing.

Conclusion

You should not buy “wrong cards” and if you are actively using someone else’s SIM card, try to find time and re-issue it without any problems at the company’s office.

Question: What do you need to re-register a Beeline number in your name if the SIM card is registered in the name of another person? I have been using a Beeline number for several years, although the SIM card is registered with another person, now I want to keep the number, do I need to look for the owner of the number or can I register a SIM card without him?

Answer: Now many subscribers use Beeline numbers registered in other people's names. It happens that you bought a Beeline SIM card somewhere in the metro or in stores where they sell it cheaper than in the office. in Beeline stores or offices, or when purchasing, you thought that you would use the number for a short time and then simply throw it away. As a result, when you have been using the same SIM card for several years and all your friends and relatives know your number, you begin to wonder whether it’s worth changing your SIM card to a new one that no one knows. It is especially worth thinking about re-issuing a SIM card for those who use their number in their business, imagine what will happen if you lose your phone or the SIM card itself gets damaged, you will lose all your clients who contact you by phone. In any case, you urgently need to change the owner of the Beeline number by registering a SIM card for yourself while Beeline still gives you this opportunity.

To register the Beeline number that you use, you don’t even need to look for the owner of the number, you just need to contact one of the Beeline offices in your city and fill out an application. The most important thing is that the SIM card itself is in working order to prove that you are using it, there is no debt, save 10 incoming calls, 10 outgoing calls and the date of the last 5 top-ups, and they will also call you on this number and talk about the time when you need to come to the Beeline office for a complete renewal of your number.

To retain a Beeline number that is registered to another person, you need to save 10 incoming calls, 10 outgoing calls and the date of the last 5 top-ups and contact the nearest Beeline office, taking with you your passport, the Beeline SIM card that you want to reissue and do not forget to pay the debt if there is one. Next, fill out an application, nothing complicated, and wait until they contact you and invite you to come to the office to complete the re-registration. Usually you have to wait six months for someone to call you from the office or send you an SMS message; I waited half a year. Previously, changing the owner of a Beeline number was free, now on the website the cost of re-issuing a SIM card is 50 rubles, but I think this is not a big price for those who want to keep their number.

Good afternoon

The situation is difficult, but not hopeless. You can try to restore the card.

Of course, a lot here depends on the mobile operator, and you did not indicate it (MTS, Megafon, Beeline or Tele2).

Regarding the refusal: It very often happens that not very competent people sit in communication shops, and they compensate for the lack of knowledge with arrogance and unfounded confidence in their rightness. I don’t want to offend anyone; there are often polite, competent employees. If we get lucky.

I had a similar experience with MTS, so I’ll tell you using their example. The same thing definitely works in Tele2; it is necessary to clarify about other operators.

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.

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/.

On the interactive map you can see the department that is closest to your home or place of work. This navigation is convenient to use because when you select an office, you can see a detailed description of the route, the nearest metro station and current opening hours.

Important Features

Depending on the cellular operator, when changing the owner of a cell phone number, different conditions apply to maintaining the tariff plan, active services and options by number. Thus, all options using personalized settings or blocking are excluded from the list of connected services. The new client does not retain access to the loyalty program, cloud storage from the operator, personalized blocking of calls and SMS, connected auto-payments from a bank card. It may also be unavailable to use your previous tariff if it is closed for new connections. When renewing the contract, the operator may be asked to connect a tariff from the current line of offers.

How can subscribers of different mobile operators register?

There is no point in dwelling in detail on the registration procedure at company offices - their employees themselves must guide clients on the spot. We asked mobile operators about the algorithm for completing the procedure independently. Not everyone is ready to fully present them yet.

Phones served in the Beeline operator network before January 1, 2019 are automatically registered in the local system and transferred to the identification code database (BDIC). Automatically - this means that the operator sees in his systems all three parameters IIN, MSISDN (subscriber number) and IMEI (device number), which will be transferred to the BDIC.

The subscriber only needs to check that his number is registered correctly and that he has an IIN. If the IIN is missing, you must provide the missing information to the operator for inclusion in the database. You can check the correctness of registration by dialing *835# from the Beeline number and pressing the dial button. In response, the subscriber will receive an SMS with his data, which is available from the mobile operator.

You can register in one of the following ways:

1. Send your IIN (12 digits) to the short number 6914 from the Beeline number.
2. Dial *691#.
3. Call number 6914. Opening hours: 09:00 – 01:00.
4. Send IIN in the “My Beeline” application.
5. Send data via QIWI terminals when replenishing your balance.

Tele2 and Altel

Tele2 and Altel offered several ways to register phones:

• send your IIN to short number 6914 from Tele2 number;
• dial the command *6914#;
• contact the Tele2 communication salon;
• enter your IIN in a special field and click on the “Submit” button on the Internet resources https://imei.altel.kz or https://imei.tele2.kz. When opening these sites via the Tele2 or Altel data network, the subscriber number is determined automatically (while the sites are operating in test mode).

To check which IMEI devices have already been registered with a number, you need to dial *6914#. You can check whether your subscriber number is registered correctly using the command *835# or in your personal account on the operator’s website.

To re-register the device and de-register the device, the subscriber must contact the Tele2 and Altel communication salon.

Kcell and Activ

Kcell and Activ subscribers have two ways to register their phones. They can send the IIN via SMS and USSD command.

The easiest way is to register via SMS. The subscriber will receive an SMS from the short number 6006 with information about the required registration. In response, you need to send your IIN. Or you can independently send an SMS to number 6006 with your IIN number. After this, the subscriber will receive a message stating that the information has been accepted for further registration.

The second method is to dial the USSD command *660# and the dial button on your phone, after which a field will open in which you need to enter your IIN and click the “Submit” button. Registration information will be accepted.

Tablets, smart watches, such as Apple Watch, children's GPS watches, modems, routers - also need to be registered. Kcell subscribers can do this in their personal account on the websites kcell.kz and activ.kz.

What is the registration procedure?

The registration procedure is free.
According to the general rules, you can go through it in two ways: by coming to the office of a mobile communications company or remotely. Both methods are equivalent, the main thing is to provide the required information in full: IIN from individuals, BIN from legal entities, in addition, telephone identification code and subscriber number. The rules establish: registration or re-registration for individuals is carried out within a period not exceeding 4 working hours; for legal entities, the procedure can last up to 8 working hours. The period is counted from the moment the information is submitted.

During the registration of a mobile device, cellular communications are turned off - with the exception of services required directly for registration. These services are determined by the cellular operator.

The subscriber number must be registered to the person using it. It is prohibited to register a device to one family member if it will be used by another. If the phone breaks down and the subscriber decides to use another device during repairs, its registration is also required. It will be necessary to first deregister the subscriber device sent for repair.

Re-registration of a contract from a citizen to an organization

The process of transferring an organization number occurs according to the following algorithm:

1. The cardholder and the company representative contact the office and fill out an application.
2. The consultant checks passports and power of attorney for the right to represent the organization.
3. Adjustments are made to the operator's database.

The power of attorney is drawn up by a notary. The content states:

• Date of preparation;
• full name of the organization;
• registration number of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
• addresses;
• information about the principal (full name, position held, passport number and series, date of birth);
• details of the document on the basis of which the principal acts;
• information about the citizen accepting the authority (full name, date of birth, passport details, registration address and place of residence, contacts);
• list of transferred rights;
• validity;
• signatures of the authorized representative, compiler, head of the company, chief accountant.

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:

1. 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/.
2. Passport . This document will be useful to both the current owner and the future.
3. 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.

Actions of the old owner

The current owner of the number must provide a pre-printed application. All items must be filled out according to the sample on the website moskva.beeline.ru/business/help/mobile-and-internet/sim-and-number/kak-smenit-vladelca-nomera/. Subscribers should check the number for any debts.

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.
