Everyone is so accustomed to stable mobile communications that the occurrence of failures and problems in it is surprising. And with it comes incompetence in eliminating them. After all, this rarely happens.
Usually, when making a call from a mobile device, we press a couple of buttons on the smartphone and after a few moments we receive a response from the subscriber. But what to do if the call does not occur, and a message is heard from the speaker that the subscriber is not registered on the network? In this article, we look at the causes of this problem and find out what it means.
Why don't they respond to messages?
If we abstract from ignoring as a tool, it turns out that we are unnecessarily complicating the situation. In Telegram or WhatsApp, you may not receive a response because you are busy: the person on the other end of the line simply does not have time to answer you or he does not consider that your messages are worthy of high priority.
Yes, unfortunately, we all have more important things to do, but we don’t want to answer our friends’ jokes. I myself sometimes don’t respond to friends for several hours when I want to get work done. Is this ignoring? To a certain degree. This is an easy manifestation of ignoring - deliberate distancing, delay or lack of reaction, emotions to correspondence.
It is likely that your interlocutor simply fell asleep after a hard day

The reason for this may be a little forgetfulness and emotional exhaustion: you are so tired at work that at the end of the day you look at the incoming messages and forget or do not know how to respond to them. But there is also total ignoring - this is the deliberate exclusion of reactions to a person’s manifestations, even to thoughts about him. For example, you wrote to your ex-girlfriend “How are you?”, but there was no response, although the user was online. Perhaps the chat with you was simply deleted and the messages were not read. By the way, disabling the delivery report in WhatsApp is also part of ignoring. Think about this when you decide to go into the shadows.
Elimination of a negative balance if it is impossible to reach a person by phone
Quite a lot of mobile operator subscribers find themselves in a negative balance before they know it. A number of operators not only allow you to have a negative balance, but can also directly contribute to its appearance. Various hidden paid services and subscriptions, fines and penalties imposed on subscribers with or without reason can lead to an unsuspecting person being faced with a negative balance on his number.
If you call a person and hear the message “This type of communication is not available to the subscriber,” then perhaps this person has a negative balance. This means that it is not possible to contact him. You can simply transfer a small amount to his mobile account (for example, 500 rubles). In this case, the number will be unblocked and you will be able to reach the right person.
Number unavailable"; what does this message mean
However, it is possible that the support team will refuse to provide you with information that may be considered confidential if it concerns their subscriber. Why is the number in Megafon unavailable?
What to do if your Beeline number is unavailable?
In addition, it may be blocked due to failure to pay the promised payment on time. You can contact Megafon support:
You can try to find out at least approximately what happened by calling
0890 or from any other phone to 8 800 250 0890 , but do not expect to be told all the details - this is confidential information.
“The subscriber is not registered on the network” - what else could cause such a message?
If a number is blocked, it will also be impossible to call it. Blocking may mean the following situations:
- voluntary suspension of the provision of communication services at the request of the subscriber;
- suspension of the provision of communication services due to the loss of a SIM card (a number of operators offer the so-called);
- blocking the number in accordance with the terms of the contract. It may occur if there is no payment for a number within a certain period. Different telecom operators have different periods of inactivity: Tele2 has 4 months, Megafon has 3 months.
When making a call to a number that has not yet been sold, you can also hear the message “The subscriber is not registered on the network.” After all, if the number is not sold, then activation on it was not carried out.
Application
This method is much simpler than the previous one, and all owners of phones on the Android platform can use it. You just need to download an additional program to your smartphone. You need to download it from the play-market, and the Blacklist program is most suitable for regular use. There are two versions of the program: paid and free. In order to create a blacklist of numbers on Android, the free version is quite enough. With its help you can block incoming calls and SMS. It also allows you to create templates for outgoing SMS and automatically respond to incoming calls and messages with them.
The essence and reasons for this message
Before considering the meaning of the message that the type of communication being used is not available, you should first of all focus the reader’s attention on the fact that communication problems are observed not with the caller, but with the one who is being called . The latter is usually blocked from making voice calls and receiving incoming calls from the operator, and the reasons for this may be the following:
- Lack of money in the account of the subscriber receiving the call. Most likely, your subscriber has not reached zero, but rather a negative balance, and, apparently, he is in no hurry to top up his account, hoping to work exclusively to receive calls. In this situation, operators often block incoming calls to such a number, and if someone calls the specified number, they automatically receive the voice message we mentioned on their mobile phone;
- Your subscriber is roaming (often abroad). At the same time, there is very little money in his account (often not enough for a minute of conversation), so this may also be one of the reasons for the occurrence of the voice message in question;
- Your subscriber independently set up blocking of incoming calls for various reasons (for example, reluctance to pay for incoming calls in the same roaming, when a minute of conversation can cost several dollars, and the person himself is abroad for a long time);
- In rare cases, this message, which in English reads “Sorry, this type of call cannot be setup,” is used when the subscriber’s phone is switched off;
- The specificity of the user's SIM card allows him to work only with the Internet, and he cannot receive voice calls (for example, the operator's SIM card is located in a 3G modem that is used to work with the mobile Internet network);
- Poor quality of the mobile operator signal (including when your subscriber is in the subway, elevator and other similar places with poor communication quality);
- Well, the last, also common reason is a trivial failure in the work of the cellular operator (this does not happen as rarely as it might seem).
I think you understand what “This type of communication is not available to the subscriber” means and when this message appears.
The subscriber is unavailable; what does it mean
Important! The phrase is pronounced absolutely the same for all cellular operators: MTS, TELE2, Megafon and Beeline. Plus, it often alternates with another phrase - the subscriber’s device is turned off or is out of network coverage. They usually mean the same thing. The subscriber is temporarily unavailable, call back later - what does this mean?
Finally
7. You called each other at the same time - quite often your answering machine turns on for this very reason.
3. If a person has a dual-SIM phone, then he can easily talk on another SIM card, but the waiting service is not configured on it. In this case, the answering machine will turn on and pronounce this phrase.
The situation when, after calling a certain phone number, an answering machine answers you and says that the subscriber is temporarily unavailable, is quite common. Have you tried to contact a friend, but instead of ringing tones you heard “Number unavailable” on the handset?
The SIM card has become unusable
Something happened to the SIM card - it fell into the water, was bent, scratched or injured in any other way. In this case, you should also try to insert it into another device and check its functionality.
If you are in doubt whether the SIM card is in working condition or not, you can contact the center operator. If the card becomes unusable, all you have to do is buy a new one with a different number and use it.
There may be many reasons why there is no connection with the subscriber. If the person cannot be reached, you can try to dial the number later, move the card to another device, and make sure that the connection quality is good, which is usually indicated on the phone. If the card is new, it must be activated. If in doubt, you should contact the call center , where they will check the connection, terms of use, and quality of the SIM card.
Lack of registration in the operator’s network
Another reason may be that the subscriber is outside the coverage area of the base stations. This means that it is not possible to register in the operator’s network. By the way, when you are in a subway or tunnel, the connection may be interrupted for some time, and accordingly, registration on the network is not performed in these situations. The lack of communication may also be due to problems in the device itself of the person you are trying to call.
What is ignoring on the Internet?
Ignoring is a fairly broad concept. In a broad sense, it means a lack of response to human manifestations. Ignoring in instant messengers is a situation when your messages remain unread for a long time. In general, the word itself is an abbreviation for “ignoring.” So the term became much more popular, becoming less official. Thanks to the ignore topic, we got a lot of movies, books, news and even technology.
Do you often find yourself ignored by your interlocutors?
For example, the usual “ Notifications without sound ” feature in WhatsApp or Telegram is one of the most important in the process of being ignored. On the one hand, it allows you to focus on important matters by turning off notifications from an intrusive person. On the other hand, you can offend a person by doing this, especially if you accidentally share a screenshot with him that shows a simple mute icon.
What does “Subscriber is temporarily blocked” mean, ways to unblock a number
A subscriber of any television system can call the interlocutor and hear a phrase such as “The number is temporarily blocked.” Whether you are a user of the MTS, Megafon, Beeline or Tele2 network, such a message will mean the following:
Network failure
Sometimes the inability to reach a number is a simple network failure. In other words, due to technical work or repairs on the line, the user erroneously receives the information “The called subscriber is blocked.”
In this case, the simplest thing the dialer can do is call back. If nothing works, you can try rebooting your gadget and dialing the other person’s phone number again. As a rule, mobile tech. work lasts no more than 10 minutes.
Not used for a long time
You can hear the phrase “The number you dialed is blocked” if your opponent has not used his SIM card for a long time. Nothing depends on you here. The subscriber must unlock his SIM card himself. This can be done in the office (with a passport) of any Russian cellular operator.
Balance
A message about blocking the interlocutor may indicate a negative balance or debt on his SIM card. All cellular systems are designed in such a way that if there is a certain minus on the client’s account, his number is automatically blocked. The problem with unlocking can be solved by replenishing your account or paying off the debt.
If an error occurs when they call you
Well, if they can’t get through to you when you receive the mentioned message, then you should look at your account balance, and also make sure that you haven’t accidentally blocked incoming calls (you can cancel the blocking by typing ##002# on the keypad of your phone or an alternative code that is relevant specifically for your device).
If you are blocked for financial reasons, you should contact the nearest contact center of your mobile operator with your passport and the amount necessary to pay off the debts in your account to correct the problem.
Contact the operator's office
Getting on the blacklist
Some cellular networks provide this service. The number of the person with whom the subscriber does not want to communicate is entered into the so-called black list. Thus, the owner of the phone forms the team with which he wants to maintain contact. As a result, when they try to call from a blacklisted number, they either hear beeps in response, as if the line is busy, or the answering machine displays the message “the subscriber is not registered on the network.”
It is very easy to check your inclusion in the list; you just need to dial the subscriber from another number. If a person picks up the phone, it means he has really blacklisted the phone and does not want to communicate with the person calling him.
