The beauty of a mobile phone number is of fundamental importance for many.
What is the reason? Yes, there are many of them. Ease of remembering and prestige are the main reasons to change the data that was randomly assigned to a SIM card to a beautiful and easy-to-remember option. Typically, mobile network subscribers believe that the procedure for changing the original data number of a SIM card is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. Actually this is not true. It will be very easy for Yota subscribers to make changes, especially if they do not involve changing the SIM card.
Why do you need to change your number?
One of the most popular and obvious reasons is considered to be simply tired of the numbering of numbers, which is why there was a desire to change them. Upon completion of the operation, the Yota operator changes the number as quickly as possible. The end result will be ownership of a beautiful combination of numbers.
Changing the Yota number in most cases is required by entrepreneurs who are trying with all their might to make it recognizable and attractive to their potential clients at the same time.
Moreover, beautiful Yota numbers are the best option when using numerous promotions.
An additional reason for changing your Yota number is the presence of constant calls from scammers or various annoying people. In an attempt to rid themselves of annoying calls, many subscribers try to block them using a specially designed blacklisting function.
However, the best option is to change the number with the Yota mobile operator, thereby eliminating the need to use various incoming call blockers forever. A simple example of this would be a girl who wants to avoid calls from her ex-boyfriend, which is why she decides to change her contact information.
Why do you need to change?
Before you change your number on Iota, you must be absolutely sure that you are doing the right thing. For some users, the combination of numbers has no practical meaning, which means there is no need to change it. Others may spend a long time choosing a combination until they find one that they like and is easy to remember.
Because of these two reasons, sometimes it is better to change the “difficult” sequence to a more “beautiful” one. Making a replacement is easy and only takes a few minutes if you use the mobile application.
Replacement conditions
To be able to change your Yota number, no special criteria have been established by the mobile operator.
At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to some important features:
- replacement is carried out free of charge upon initial request;
- the cost of a room when re-forming a request costs 100 rubles - if there is no need to choose a beautiful combination.
Important: the ability to select a number free of charge is not provided - you cannot use beautiful number combinations.
Gold number cost
Each subscriber is given the opportunity to change the number once free of charge to any standard combination. If there is a need for a second replacement, you will need to pay 100 rubles.
Expert opinion
Julia
Employee of the Yota retail outlet.
The price of unique options is determined by the company’s specialists and can range from 500 to 50,000 rubles. Gold numbers cost from 25–30 thousand.
The most expensive options are not always available for sale. Employees select the best combinations as the number of subscribers increases.
Choosing a beautiful Yota number
Initially, you need to pay attention to the fact that regardless of whether the first number change is carried out by the subscriber or not, it will in any case begin with +7 999. The further combination can be anything.
You need to remember the main principle - the more identical numbers are selected in a row, the higher the cost on Iota will be.
For example, for Yota subscribers who have chosen a combination of five identical numbers in a row, the cost of completing the procedure will be about 60 thousand rubles. If you try to use a simpler combination, the price is significantly reduced.
For this operation, funds in the required amount are subject to debiting from the main account. In other words, if the price is 15 thousand rubles, then the subscriber must top up the balance by that amount.
If such a transaction has already been carried out previously, then before changing the Iota number, it is recommended to check the balance using a special combination on the phone or through the official website.
The change procedure is carried out very quickly - within a few minutes after creating a request and paying a fee.
Algorithm for selecting and purchasing a number
Since 2014, Yota has become not only an Internet service provider, but also a mobile operator. Currently, she has already managed to win the trust of many clients thanks to favorable rates and fair conditions. In order to select and purchase a Yota number you must:
- Install the company's official mobile application on your tablet or phone. It can be found on the Yota portal, as well as in the App Store and Google Play.
- Open the application and go through the registration procedure.
- Go to the “Number selection” section for new subscribers or change it for existing ones.
- In the search bar, you can specify the combination of numbers that you would like to see.
- Select one of the proposed options.
The whole procedure will take about five minutes. It is important to pay attention to the following nuances:
- You are only allowed to select a free number, so if the given combination is not found, it may have already been occupied by another client;
- you will need to pay 100 rubles for the transition;
- At first, the SIM card may be unstable because changing settings takes time.

How to change your number to Yota
Other mobile operators often provide the opportunity to initiate this type of procedure only by personally contacting one of their representative offices, solely after providing a passport for identification.
The cellular operator Yota has additionally developed an option for carrying out the operation through a specialized mobile application.
Office visit
The main way to complete the procedure so as not to change the Yota card is considered to be a personal application to one of the company’s representative offices. You can find the addresses of the nearest branches and their work schedule on the official portal of the mobile operator.
The mechanism of action does not entail any difficulties and is as follows:
- Contact the Yota representative office at any time convenient for you (during business hours).
- Tell the representative that you want to change the digit combination of your number.
- If you wish, on a paid basis, choose for yourself a beautiful digital sequence that is not yet occupied by other subscribers.
- Pay for the service - if the free method is not used.
Please note: when contacting a branch of a mobile operator, the subscriber must have an identification card and an activated SIM card installed in the phone.
The consultant will perform all further operations independently, upon completion of which the owner of the number will be changed.
In the mobile application
The mobile operator provides a service of reusable number change via the Internet. To do this, just download and install a specially developed mobile application on your smartphone.
The software contains a specialized field in which the initially assigned phone number is displayed.
The further sequence of actions of the subscriber is as follows:
- Initially, you should download the application from your mobile operator and install it on your phone.
- You should click on the initial combination of numbers displayed.
- A newly opened window will display a list of all possible action options that are available to the user.
- From the list you need to select and click on the required action.
- The intention to perform the operation is confirmed.
After the manipulations have been completed, within a few minutes the client of the cellular operator will be assigned a different contact combination.
Important: when changing the number, the subscriber retains the full balance, the previously selected tariff plan and the entire list of connected additional services.
Change of number owner
Since when changing the number associated with a SIM card, its owner changes, you should understand that the selected combination could already belong to someone and in the same way returned to the operator’s database after the change. This doesn't always happen. Quite often, especially with relatively young companies, many digital options have not yet been used, and the subscriber receives a completely “fresh” number that is unknown to anyone.
Replacing the SIM card is a different operation. It can be changed if damaged or lost, but the number will remain the same unless the subscriber decides to change it too.
How much does it cost to change your number with Yota?
Before developing a tariff schedule for the procedure for replacing the initially assigned subscriber contact number, the cellular operator carefully studied market offers and made the appropriate analysis so that its pricing policy could withstand serious competition.
Moreover, the approved cost is an order of magnitude lower than that offered by other mobile operators.
For example, if other mobile operators sell some numbers with beautiful combinations to subscribers at minimal prices, only 300 - 500 rubles, the Yota company can offer the same numbers to its customers completely free of charge.
Additionally, it is worth remembering that the initial replacement procedure is absolutely free for customers of the cellular operator; in the future, the procedure is paid - 100 rubles.
Changing your number to Yota without replacing your SIM card
The options for changing a phone without replacing a SIM card were discussed above. In this block you can find additional information that applies to both methods.
Replacement conditions
Yota does not impose any special conditions on the client. The only thing is that the SIM card must be issued to the person who came to the office to change the code with their passport.
Price
Prices for number combinations may vary significantly. For example, one costs 100 rubles, and the other costs 20-30 thousand rubles. The cost depends on the uniqueness and simplicity. The change is activated only after payment.
Choosing a “beautiful” number
A beautiful Yota number is a service offered by all mobile operators. It involves the choice of numbers by the subscriber, and not by the system. Everything that was described above is called choosing a “beautiful” combination. It is offered not only by Iota, but also by other major providers.
Quick transition to Yota while maintaining the old number
The fastest way to change providers and keep your old number is also the hardest.
You need to find the nearest Yota representative offices or sales points yourself and show up in person with a passport, money and a SIM card, which must be issued in your name.
All procedures are carried out upon the client writing an application. This method is called the fastest because it saves time waiting for the courier. Many may argue with this conclusion, but for them we have prepared the following method.
Yota and number transfer.
Good day. (post without rating, draw your own conclusions about this company)
Brief background: January 2021, the MTS SIM card stops working. I contact the MTS salon and change it. The employee checks my passport in front of me. The passport matches. I am contacting another operator and asking them to port my number. (reason, I don’t intend to listen to noodles: -Your SIM card has become demagnetized. -Yeah, no magnetized elements, no big deal). I get a refusal to transfer. Reason =>passport data does not match. OK. I am writing a complaint, in which I demand that the data be brought up to date, and I send it by mail to MTS.
Now let's move on to Yota:
05/29/2021 I conclude an agreement, pay, write an application to port the number.
06/02/2021 refusal to port the number, I contact the support chat and they clarify that the transfer has been canceled due to the fact that my passport details do not match. I am writing to them that I will deal with MTS, asking my further actions. They write to me: Resolve the issue with MTS, write to us in the chat and we will resend the transfer request.
06/09/2021 I’m in another region, I’m checking with MTS, they confirm that the data is in order. I contact the chat and ask you to fill out a second application to port the number. And I can’t do this because I need to provide an identification code. Well, OK. I go to the point of sale, and what do you think, I can’t submit an application because it’s a different region. OK. There is no trial. We are terminating the contract, and again I cannot apply for termination of the contract, because I cannot indicate their id and this is a different region.
06/09/2021 I am informing the chat about this that they do not accept applications from me. There is zero reaction, they don’t even specify where, who, etc. I draw the appropriate conclusion. I'm talking. that, as if with such care for clients, I don’t need their services. I clarify how I can properly refuse them, they assure me that if I do not activate the SIM card. Then upon arrival I will be able to refuse their services.
06/18/2021 I can’t get through to this number. I'll call you online in the evening. They show me their SMS messages on camera. The number will be transferred on June 18, 2021 at 12:00. WTF???!
I write to their chat and receive a significant portion of noodles.
Conclusion Yota arbitrarily makes decisions about number portability for me.
In the chat they simply unsubscribe, if you are not satisfied, then after 60 days you can transfer the number to another operator. But as soon as I say it won't work that way. I will send a legal claim and write it off to the supervisory authorities. They write to me that they will form a request and will sort it out, and they will send me an answer via SMS. Please send it on paper, but that’s not the case, just an SMS (to a number that is not available). And they give me another portion of noodles. Well, I'll send a legal claim.
I’m leaving a review here because this company has a lot of chutzpah. Let people know that Yota can generate and sign applications for them.
As a result, you cannot use a SIM card, there is no access to banking and other services with authorization via SMS.
I don't recommend it to anyone.
PS I can provide proof of everything that has been said. Although the Yota company itself can familiarize itself with the correspondence.
Why might personal account information be needed?
Each user who is connected to the Iota Internet had to, first of all, enter into an agreement with the provider for the provision of certain services, where the terms of connection are discussed, all the necessary information, methods and terms of payment are indicated, and a personal account number and personal password are determined access.
The personal account number consists of ten digits; its peculiarity is that after the subscriber stops using mobile communications and the Internet, the number still continues to function. Thus, you can get rid of any debt by using an individual account number. Personal data from there may be required in the following cases:
- The need to log into the user’s personal account;
- When paying for various services through a terminal, ATM, as well as electronic payment services;
- If there is a need to pay off the user's old debt;
- If you need to identify a number in another area.
Office visit
This method will have to be chosen if it is impossible to install the software on the phone. Before going to the Yota center, you should take a passport and a contract for the provision of communication services. If you forget the documents, the consultant will refuse service, and you will lose time and nerves.
After checking the documents, the manager will offer to fill out an application for a shift. Before that, he will show the possible options so that you can choose the one that suits you. Take your time, as most combinations are paid. Once the money has been transferred, it will not be possible to cancel the service.
In a programme
The company has a special application for smartphones. It provides a number of useful features:
- Quick balance check.
- It is possible to find out the balances of the packages.
- Check the terms of service.
- Change them quickly.
- Contact a specialist via chat.
- Pay for operator services.
- Change number, etc.
To start using the application, you need to download it from the official store. Enter Yota in the search bar, go to the program page and click on the button to install.
How to find out the tariff for Eta in the application?
- You need to switch to the mobile network and turn off Wi-Fi.
- Log in to the application.
- Wait for the program to load.
- Study the current conditions there.
Easy transfer of your old number to Yota
The easiest option is to try to contact the support service and send a request for delivery and signing of the contract by courier. It’s not a fact that this service can work in your region, but we have to admit that it sometimes works. If you really don’t want to leave the house or have a lot of things to do at work, then easily bother with technical support.
Details
- Place an order to switch to Yota while keeping your old number through the mobile application, official website or by calling a toll-free number
- You order the purchase of a new SIM card but be sure to indicate - With your number.
- The courier will deliver the contract, the ordered card and receive payment (which will go to your account)
Necessary steps before transition
Attention, do not forget that the telephone number with which you want to transfer to Yota must be registered in the name of the applicant.
The account should not have any debts, because the old provider simply will not release your SIM card to a competitor. You can sign an application for the transition even with debts, but you must pay off debts within 4 days
Transfer within the region only. Example - if the number is registered in the Moscow region, then the transfer can only be completed while in this region
The time period for the next change of provider is no earlier than 2 months
Prepare for the fact that the entire procedure will take from 8 to 14 days
