How to find out who is calling with the Caller ID service from MTS

Different ways to hide a number

There are many ways to hide a number when calling: from special operator services to functions built into the OS capabilities. The most convenient of them will be discussed in the subparagraphs below.

Hide number on Android

Android is one of the most popular mobile operating systems in the world today, which is largely due to its wide functionality. One of the features of Android is hiding the number. To launch the built-in Caller ID (mobile phone number anti-identifier), you must perform the following steps. For Android versions up to 6.0.

1. Find the “Call Options” section in the settings.
2. “More” (or “Additional properties”).
3. ABOUT.
4. Reboot your device.
5. Check the function.

For Android 6.0 and above:

1. Go to the Phone application.
2. Find the icon in the form of three dots in the search bar of the application and click on it.
3. “Settings” (or “Properties”).
4. "Call settings".
5. "Additional settings".
6. "Anti caller ID."
7. “Hide number.”

The ability to turn on Caller ID is blocked by the operator. If the phone of the subscriber you are calling is turned off, he will receive an SMS where the number will also not be indicated, which is convenient. However, it may not be possible to hide your phone number in this way, since some operators deliberately block this option so that subscribers connect to a paid service with similar functionality. The same applies to various applications for hiding numbers on Android, which are dummies that do not perform their tasks.

AntiAON from MTS: how to hide your phone number?

This service, developed by MTS specialists, is presented in two varieties. The first of them was called “AntiAON”. It is suitable for subscribers who want to activate the presented option in order to hide their number on a permanent basis. The second variety was called “AntiAON on request.” Its main difference from the previous option is that to activate it, you must send a corresponding request before making a call. As soon as you do this, the anti-identifier will be activated and your number will be hidden during an outgoing call.

Separately, it should be said that this service is guaranteed to work exclusively in the MTS network. Therefore, when making private calls to other networks and landlines, you cannot be completely sure that your number remains anonymous. In addition, MTS has. If it is activated for the subscriber you are calling, he will still see your phone number.

How does Yandex caller ID work?

In the spring of 2021, Yandex launched a new application that allows you to automatically determine who is calling you, even if this number is not in the phone book. Thanks to this program, smartphone owners can see which organization is calling them. Since the application was created by Russian developers, it is logical that the base will be adapted for Russia. Information will be automatically downloaded from multiple sources to ensure the data is as complete as possible.

The new feature is available in the Yandex application; you can activate it in the settings.

When an incoming call arrives on your phone, the system automatically checks the number against the list of contacts that are on your phone. If there are no matches, then the database is accessed, which is located in Yandex.Directory.

The Yandex directory contains information about more than 5 million organizations that operate in Russia. This database is constantly updated, old irrelevant data is deleted. That is, when there is an incoming call, the name of the company and type of activity appears on the smartphone screen. Thanks to this data, a person can make a timely decision whether to answer the call or not. This feature works even for missed calls. All information is displayed in the call log.

You can download the Yandex application with the caller ID function completely free of charge in the Google Play store.

• How to disable the hidden number service on MTS Russia

Not enough memory

The reason that the phone does not detect incoming call numbers may be due to insufficient memory. This applies to both internal and RAM memory. When the drives are full, a technical failure occurs and some system utilities begin to work incorrectly. Including caller ID.

To solve this problem, you need to free up space in the internal memory of your smartphone (here are instructions), and also disable background applications that load the system.

Hiding a number from mobile operators

Mobile operators provide services to disable caller ID, but they are not free at all. In this paragraph, we indicated ways to connect such options with the most popular mobile operators in the Russian Federation.

On Tele2

The USSD command to hide a number on Tele2 is *117*1#. To disable the option, dial *117*0#.

Caller ID activation is also possible in your personal account on the operator’s website or in the corresponding application.

On MTS

MTS allows you to connect both through the self-service service and using the USSD command *111*46#.

Instructions for connecting the option via the Internet:

1. Log in to the MTS website.
2. Open Internet Assistant.
3. "Management.

To connect the option one-time, use , for which you need to dial the command *111*84#.

On Megafon

Dial the USSD command *105#, and select the service in the menu that opens. You can also use the command *221#.

How to connect Anti-Caller ID on MTS

The MTS company offers two types of anti-number identification. These options are simply called “Anti-Caller ID” or “Anti-Caller ID on request”. The differences, as the name suggests, are small. In the first case, the anti-determinant acts continuously. All you have to do is connect the option and use it constantly. In the second case, Anti-Caller ID is connected upon request. Each time the required command is sent and the anti-determiner is activated. Everything is convenient and simple.

It’s worth noting right away that the operator gives a 100% guarantee that this option will work only within the network. If you need to call numbers from other operators, or to landlines, then there is a chance that the function simply will not work. Also, if the person you are calling has the “Super Caller ID” option enabled, then, unfortunately, you will not be able to escape unnoticed.

Command for connecting Anti-Caller ID

To answer the question: “how to activate the AntiAON service on MTS”, it is enough to know the USSD command or access to the worldwide network. Go to your internet assistant account, find the one you need in the “service” tab and connect it. To get into your personal account, you need to enter your SIM card login number and receive a password via SMS message.

The second option is even faster. Dial *111*46#, green tube. The function is installed. By default, no matter who you call, everyone will no longer see the digits of your number. When they call, instead of a number they will see that the number is not identified.

If there is a need for the person you are calling to know your number, then to disable the option one-time you need to dial the command *31#+7 (subscriber's phone numbers) and call.

Antideterminant on request

You can also connect a non-permanent option, but “on request”, inside your personal account, or by dialing the numbers *111*84# and call. Here you need to remember that when connecting the anti-identifier upon request, according to the initial settings, the interlocutors will see your number, to activate the function you need to dial #31#+7 “digits of the subscriber’s phone number” and call. Only in this case the interlocutor will not be able to find out which number you are calling from.

This option allows you to configure your phone so that everyone you call does not see your number, but in this case you will pay for each call using anti-caller ID.

How to disable the AntiAON service on Megafon

When the anti-number identification service is no longer needed, then you should disable it. For this purpose, MegaFon has provided several deactivation methods:

• The simplest is to use a service request, which is sent to the operator for processing. Once processed, the service is disabled and the client is notified via an incoming message. To make a request, you need to dial the command *105*501*0#.
• You can also disable the option by sending a message, in the body of which you need to write the word “stop”. The use of Latin letters is allowed. Next, the message must be sent to the number 000105501.
• Also, if the Internet is available, disabling the service is possible using the Service Guide. To do this, you need to visit the MegaFon website, go to your account and register. Then find AntiAON in the services tab and deactivate the service.

Finally, it must be said that the information described in the review was considered for Moscow and the Moscow region. Prices and possible combinations may vary in other areas. You can clarify such data on the company’s website or from the operator by calling the hotline.

How to mark calls as spam

If the phone number is not in the Yandex database, then at the end of the conversation a notification appears asking you to leave a review. If there is not enough information about a certain number in the system, then based on algorithms that use machine learning, it will be revealed that spam calls are being made from this number and a corresponding mark will appear in the call log. If you click on the number, a page will open where you can take a survey or leave a detailed review about the subscriber to whom this number belongs.

Question to the expert

Main features of the Yandex application

The service that we installed at the very beginning of the article can not only tell us about who is trying to call us.

• Tariff "Super MTS": description, pros and cons, how to connect - KakPozvonit.ru

Its capabilities allow you to independently assign desired or important status to phone numbers. You can also easily find who owns the number via the Internet if the number is not in the application database. The phone database itself can be used offline. Just don't forget to update it.

Now let's go through the main features of the application:

• Firstly, for smartphones produced by Xiaomi and Huawei, additional permissions are required for autostart, energy consumption and display of notifications. This is done without leaving the application.

• When you have completed activating and setting up the application, all recent calls will be transferred there automatically. Both incoming and outgoing messages will be transferred. In addition, both anonymous names and contacts entered in the book will be transferred.

Familiar contacts can be excluded from this list. To do this, you need to use the settings of the application itself. In the same way, you can deactivate the identifier by making the “Detect who called” slider inactive.

The service can work both when the Internet is on and off. If you turn on the slider next to the “Offline search” item in the settings, the search will take place using the offline database downloaded to the phone.

• The Yandex caller ID application is being developed and updated due to feedback from users. Anyone who wishes can add information about an unknown number, make a call to it and mark it as important or unwanted.

After this, all the information provided will be processed and if it is true, then all users will have access to it.

A number that is not included in the database can be found in Yandex search. There is a special button for this.

When you click on it, the user will be redirected to specialized sites where you can find information about any number.

Reset settings

If you've recently updated your smartphone, you can try resetting the settings, updating the firmware, or resetting everything to factory settings.

You can go another way: choose factory reset. To do this, hold two buttons – the “Menu” key and the “Volume up” key. Hold it for 20 seconds, then Recovery will appear. Use the volume button to select factory reset. After resetting and deleting the entries, reboot the device. This option helps with any failures and any errors that are somehow related to the problem of calls from an unknown number.

Activation

“AntiAOn” or anti-identifier is an encryption service within the network. The tariff is activated manually. A special feature of the function is anonymity for outgoing calls. The essence of “AntiAON” included in the tariff is to ensure anonymity when making calls within the network. The called subscriber will not be able to identify the source, but this service has its own characteristics. It does not apply to other operators. Connection cost is free. Subsequent payments will be charged according to Megafon tariffs.

There are 2 types of tariff:

1. One-time “AntiAON” - provided for one call within the network. The cost of the operation is 7 rubles per request.
2. “AntiAON” - is connected on a permanent basis and applies to all outgoing calls. The subscription fee is 5 rubles per day.

To hide your phone for the duration of one call, you must enable the function manually. To do this, dial the combination #31# and enter the subscriber's phone number. Confirm the operation with the call button. When connected, the call will be encrypted. Charges for the service are carried out in accordance with the operator’s tariff. After a conversation, the option is disabled automatically.

When a mobile phone rings and neither the number nor the name of the caller is displayed on the screen, it becomes very uncomfortable. Confusion is associated with the unknown, and the fear of getting into an awkward or even dangerous situation. The service from MTS Belarus - “Caller Identifier” - is designed to make communication comfortable and communication safe.

Tariffication

The service is free for all tariff plans, that is, there is no subscription fee:

• nor for connection;
• nor for use.

Unlike Caller ID, services that allow any subscriber to become a little bit of a spy, Anti-Caller Identifier or Super Caller Identifier, are paid.

Description of service

The purpose of the service is contained in its very name - to determine the number of the subscriber who makes an incoming call. By installing the option, the user, while on the MTS home network, will always know exactly who is calling him at the moment. Because at the moment of making a call on the screen of a mobile device:

• the caller's unique telephone number will appear in international format;
• saved numbers in the phone book will be displayed;
• An individual melody set for a specific subscriber will sound.

A missed call is not an obstacle, you will also see the number. If desired, it is easy to call back at any convenient time.

To organize the correct operation of the service, it is very important to record all telephone numbers in the mobile phone contact list in a standard international format. This means that at the beginning of the number there must be a prefix +7, not the number 8. For example: +7961YYYYYYY.

Crash after copying contacts

When users purchase a new phone, they automatically transfer contacts from one device to another. An error may occur while copying data. After this, some numbers will not be detected during incoming calls. The only way to solve the problem: delete these numbers from the phone book and save them again, but manually.

Features of use

Any MTS subscriber can install and use the service, regardless of tariff plans or service methods. But it’s worth keeping in mind that the caller’s number will be displayed correctly if two conditions are met:

1. The recipient and initiator of the call must be subscribers of the Mobile TeleSystems operator.
2. During the call, all communication participants must be within the home network.

Determination of telephone numbers of subscribers of other operators and numbers of city and landline telephones is not guaranteed.

will not help to find out the caller’s phone number if he took care of keeping it secret and connected one of the services:

• "Caller ID";
• "Caller ID on request."

All MTS subscribers automatically receive a caller ID upon connection.” The option allows you to see the caller's number, is free and does not require additional actions.

If you need to hide the call, use “Anti-AON” - connecting the option will make the number undetectable to other phones, even if it is recorded in the address book. There are several methods for disabling and connecting AntiAON.

How to hide MTS number? First, it’s worth mentioning that there are only two options for “closing” an MTS number - for a one-time call or for a constant call. For example, if you want to become “invisible” for only one call, then you need the “Anti-AON on request” option.

However, if you do not want to be detected on other people’s devices at all, then you will need to activate the “Anti-AON” function. These are similar in functionality, but different in capabilities, implying different connection methods. The usage fee also differs.

As mentioned above, the service involves completely disabling the identifier. There is no need to specify any numbers before dialing, unlike “AntiAON on request” - the number is hidden automatically.

There are several options for activating the hiding service:

• using — *111*46#;
• using the user account on the MTS website (https://www.mts.ru/);
• through the My MTS application.

Using USSD request

The process of activating MTS AntiAON via USSD code:

1. Dial *111*46# and click “Call”
2. Wait, within 24 hours after sending the request, a message will be sent to your phone confirming the activation of the requested service.

Through the Internet

Activation on the MTS website - “Internet Assistant”:

1. Register on the official portal of the MTS operator.
2. Go to your page and go to the service selection section.
3. Among the list of options, find “AntiAON”.
4. Activate the anonymous call option.

The activation cost is 34 rubles, if the tariff used by the subscriber involves regular debiting of the subscription fee. If there is none, then the price is reduced to 17 rubles. The fee for one use of the service is 3 rubles 95 kopecks.

This option option also allows you to hide your number. Available for absolutely any tariff. The option implies the ability to call from a hidden number to the phone of the called subscriber. If you need to hide a call, simply insert the code #31# at the beginning when dialing.

For example, if the user needs the subscriber with the number +79784725237 to be unable to figure out who the call is coming from, then the call is made as follows - you dial #31#+79784725237.

There are several steps to activate the hiding service:

• using the provided command - *111*84#;
• using the user account on the MTS website;
• through the My MTS application.

Using USSD request

Activation process via USSD code:

1. Dial *111*84# and click “Call”
2. Wait for a message about activation of the requested service to be sent to your number within 24 hours after sending your request.

Through the Internet

Connect AntiAON through the website – “Internet Assistant”:

1. Register on the official MTS website.
2. Go to your page and go to the service selection section.
3. Among the list of options, find “AntiAON on request”.
4. Activate the closed call service.

Each operator service requires payment. To activate this option you need to pay a tariff of 32 rubles. Every day a fee of 1 ruble 05 kopecks will be charged from your subscriber account. You will also need to pay for each individual call with a secret number at a price of 2 rubles. If you designate the service for all calls outgoing from this mobile phone, then 2 rubles will be charged for each call made.

Attention! The two above functions deactivate each other. What does it mean? When a subscriber activates one of the options, the second is automatically disabled.

The main disadvantage of these services is that they really only work among MTS subscribers. For clients of other operators, the option may not work correctly and show the caller's details.

Another drawback is the fee. Funds are withdrawn from the account once, then every month as a subscription payment. The cost depends on the specific tariff.

In addition, a number of people simply do not pick up the phone when calling from a hidden number, and in order to get through to them, you will have to remove the hidden number.

How to disable a hidden number? It’s as easy as activating:

1. Dial the code combination *111*47#.
2. Click on the call.
3. Wait, within 24 hours you will receive a notification about the termination of the hidden number service.

There are only a couple of ways to identify a hidden number calling you:

1. When the caller continues to call you annoyingly, you can use. First turn off your mobile and wait for a while. After turning it on, you should wait for a notification to arrive with information about who called you and at what time. There is a possibility that the number will also be displayed.
2. Operators have a special service for identifying hidden numbers. It is quite expensive and will not necessarily work with subscribers of other companies.
3. The most effective method is to ask the operator for call details. The bottom line is that such options can only “deceive” the phone itself, and the PBX is still unable to find out which number the call was made from. It turns out that in case of urgent need, although not immediately, the subscriber can still be identified. Typically, such detail is not provided very quickly (you can speed up the process by connecting a virtual phone).

We have already looked at how to hide the number when calling MTS numbers. However, this operator has another interesting one.

This is one of the ways to determine the classified numbers described above. The option allows you to catch calls from all operators, even if they have . It is especially useful for those people who often receive calls from a secret number.

The cost of connecting the option is 2,000 rubles. It is quite expensive, so few people will want to use it. Fee per day – 6 rubles 50 kopecks. The service can be applied to all tariffs.

Methods for activating the Super Caller ID service:

• on the MTS website in the section “enable or disable the service”, you will need to log in to access);
• using the application (install the utility from the application store, go to the “Services” section);
• by special code *111*007#.

Activation process via USSD code:

1. Dial **111*007# and click “Call”.
2. Wait until, within 24 hours after sending the request, an SMS is sent to your number confirming the activation of the requested service.

Description

Before you determine a hidden number on MTS using it, you need to study its characteristic features, and most importantly, its cost. Unfortunately, the service is not cheap, and the operator guarantees identification of a hidden number only if the call comes from an MTS subscriber. The connection cost is 2000 rubles. The daily subscription fee is 6.50 rubles. Of course, the prices are more than high, but if it is important for you to find out which number the calls are coming from, you will have to pay. Although, you can find out the hidden number in another way. If someone calls you from a hidden number and threatens you, you should not try to deal with the situation on your own. In this case, it is wiser to contact law enforcement agencies, who will easily find out who the threats are coming from and you will not have to pay anything. However, this option is optimal only when you are threatened; in other cases, you can only rely on. Peculiarities :

• The service is available for connection on all tariff plans, except for the “Cool” tariff;
• The operator guarantees 100% identification of a hidden number only for calls from MTS subscribers;
• It does not work on certain phone models (a full list of models is available on the MTS website).

As you can see, there were some pitfalls. Everyone understands how to determine a hidden number on MTS, but not many use it. The reason for this is the high price and lack of warranty as a result. They are calling you from a hidden number and you cannot know for sure that the number belongs to an MTS subscriber. Anyone can hide a number, because all operators have similar services.

Why does the crash occur?

Even if this happened to you, don't panic. There is no need to go to extreme measures and change the SIM card. Try to figure it out yourself based on potential reasons:

• the account has run out of money;
• The number is displayed incorrectly;
• the settings of the device or the parameters of the SIM card operator have gone wrong (in the second case, you need to call the operator);
• a failure could occur when transferring already recorded contacts from another device;
• incorrectly specified country in the settings;
• you may have saved the number/numbers incorrectly;
• duplicate numbers (two contacts with the same number);
• lack of memory on the smartphone and/or full RAM;
• non-original Android firmware;
• incorrect update.

In some rare cases, the operator you use may connect you to the number display service as an additional option. And, despite the fact that the service is usually provided free of charge, you, as a user, are not always warned that numbers are not initially displayed by default and this needs to be additionally enabled. But, again, these are rare cases, not a trend.

Note:

447786-205094: what is this number?

Connection

Calls from a hidden number can be a serious problem. Agree, there is little pleasure in calls from an unknown subscriber. A strong desire to find out what is hidden may arise out of curiosity or for a more serious reason. If it is important for you to identify a hidden number and you are willing to pay for this service, then you need to connect. There won't be any problems with this. There are several simple ways to connect to the service.

You can connect:

1. By dialing *111*007#;
2. Through your MTS personal account;
3. Using the “My MTS” application;
4. By calling the MTS help center.

Choose any of the above methods. The first three options provide for instant connection to the service. If you decide to call the customer support center, be prepared to spend a lot more time. The operator may not answer immediately. In conclusion, we repeat once again - if you receive a call from a hidden number with threats or for the purpose of blackmail, it is wiser to seek help from the relevant authorities. The police have the ability to identify an attacker without connecting any services.

Alternative methods to determine a hidden number

In addition to the “Super Caller ID” option, you can find out the hidden MTS number using details and SMS notification of missed calls. In the first case, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your personal account.
2. Open the “Expense Control” section.
3. In the opened Internet assistant, duplicate the expense control request.
4. Select “Call details” from the general list.

After this, a complete statement will be sent to the email address specified during registration.

In the second case, the scheme will work if an unknown number calls when the phone is turned off and you have it connected. After turning on the phone, a notification will be sent with the number of the person who called about the missed call.
