How does the SuperAON Megafon service work on your phone?

Many users of the Megafon operator say that they receive incoming calls on which the phone number is not displayed. Instead of the digits of the number, the following inscription is displayed: “ Unknown number" Many people are not happy with this state of affairs. Modern mobile devices are already able to identify the caller's number and display it on the phone. As a result, we can always see when and who called us. But what if a telephone scammer used the option “ AntiAON"? In such a situation, there is another service that is opposite in its effect. SuperAON Megaphone, which allows you to identify such unknown numbers.

Its advantage is the ability to operate in roaming conditions. This review provides data for the Moscow region; for other places of residence, it is advisable to clarify information from official sources: on the website of the Megafon operator, in service offices or communication shops, or from a help desk specialist. In addition, this service may not be available on some mobile phones. This depends on the version of the operating system and the phone device itself.

Operating principle and characteristics – Megafon SuperAON service

For many subscribers, such a function on Megafon as “ Super Caller ID ” turns out to be very useful, and makes it possible to determine phone numbers for incoming calls from subscribers who hide their phone number. This allows us to identify absolutely all the numbers of those subscribers who are trying to prevent us from living normally, thinking that we will not recognize their number. This function helps those who are tired of intrusive conversations, but it may be impossible to determine the number. With this option, all hooligans will be identified. Of course, you can try to solve this problem by contacting the police, but you can determine the scammer’s number yourself.

Contacting the police involves the need to visit officers on a subpoena, but there is also an advantage to this method. After all, we can eventually see the fraudster in the face when the police find him. Using the “ Super Caller ID ” function, you don’t have to go to the police. Let's figure out how the SuperAON .

This function on a mobile device reveals hidden numbers. So that the subscriber can determine that this is a hidden number, the service marks this number with a “hash” on both sides. This allows you to find out which subscriber is trying to call from a regular number, and which one is trying to hide it and go unnoticed. Callers will not be able to find out that their numbers are already easily identified by a special service that we are reviewing in this review.

“Anti Caller ID on request” from MTS: details

Another modification of this service is the “On request” option. This option will be ideal for subscribers who do not need to systematically hide their number, but nevertheless use this opportunity quite often.

The essence of the proposal is this: by activating the service, subscribers will make calls under standard conditions, and other customers will see their number on their devices, however, when entering the appropriate combination before directly dialing the subscriber’s number, the number hiding service will be activated and operate exclusively for this one call.

Accordingly, if you want to make a hidden call, you should dial the subscriber’s numbers in the following form: *31#+7ХХХХХХХХХ . When entering numbers normally, the interlocutor will see your number.

How to enable or disable “Anti Caller ID on request”

To use it, you must first activate it using or request *111*84# . The option can be disabled using a personal account or an identical USSD request.

The option is also not offered free of charge, and its terms and conditions provide for the following prices:

Connection option: 32 rubles;
Fee for each day of use: 1.05 rubles;
Each one-time number identification ban: 2 rubles for 1 call;
Disconnection procedure: free.

Features of the SuperAON Megafon service

There are certain features of the SuperAON , like any other service:

The option is available and valid in international, national and intranet roaming.
If an incoming call comes from another cellular network, then the hidden number may not be detected using this service.
If your phone balance is negative, the service is unavailable, so it is recommended to top up your phone account in a timely manner.

A hidden phone number can be determined using the SuperAON even when you are in another region of Russia or in a foreign country. This is an important factor as incoming calls can be expensive when traveling abroad. The accuracy of identifying the number of an incoming call is guaranteed with a high probability only when the hidden number belongs to the Megafon operator, and the subscriber is calling from his home region. There is no exact guarantee of identifying incoming calls within the network from other regions, as well as from other cellular networks. But such a number can also be determined.

Attention : if the phone bill is negative, the option does not work, just as if the number is blocked due to insufficient money, the collection of the subscription fee is suspended.

The subscription fee is set by the Megafon operator in the amount of 1,500 rubles per month. This board allows you to identify hidden numbers. However, one consolation is the fact that this money is not charged in full at once, but is divided into all days of the month, and is debited from the account every day in proportion, 50 rubles.

How much does Super Caller ID cost?

Now it’s worth talking about how much the service costs. Most people will be upset to learn that the service has a high cost, which amounts to 1.5 thousand rubles per month. This is exactly how much you will have to pay to find out the hidden numbers. But there are also advantages. The fee is debited on a daily basis. That is, you can connect for several days, in accordance with your needs.

The service is activated free of charge, even repeatedly. Apart from the daily fee, there are no additional fees.

Subscriber reviews

The service in question is used quite rarely, so there are not many reviews about it. Those subscribers who do not carefully study the terms of service and the basic conditions of tariff plans often leave negative reviews. For example, on some tariffs SuperAON is connected by default, but the first month is provided free of charge, and then the subscription fee begins to be charged.

If the subscriber does not turn it off on time, the money on the balance will quickly run out. Therefore, such subscribers consider this option to be a regular scam from the operator. There are enough such cases. To prevent this from happening, you need to go to your Personal Account and carefully look at what services are activated under the terms of the tariff. It is better to disable unnecessary services. Other subscribers who closely monitor their accounts speak positively about this service, as it helps fight hooligans and scammers and immediately identifies hidden numbers.

And high subscription fees are sometimes justified when you consider how much money you can lose when scammers deceive you and withdraw all the money from your account. As a result, experts advise that before connecting any service, carefully study all the operating conditions and the cost of its operation in order to avoid troubles.
