Instructions: how to disable call barring on Megafon

In 1993, a new telecom operator appeared in St. Petersburg. But the MegaFon brand itself began to be created in 2002, when GSM North-West rebranded, becoming federal.

Since 2000, the company began to provide clients with Internet access services. At the end of 2011, 65% of the land in Russia was surrounded by a 3G network. And 56.6 million people used the company’s services.

Disabling call barring

Also, such a service for MegaFon subscribers as barring incoming MegaFon calls is quite in demand. This option can help subscribers if they need to bar outgoing or incoming calls.

In MegaFon, you can turn off international and other calls, so you don’t have to worry about spending too much money on communications. If these calls are necessary, you just need to disable the ban on them. When using this service, it is possible to disable incoming MegaFon calls or all other calls as well.

This service is used, for example, when the owner lends his own mobile phone to someone else. And then it is recommended to use call ban. This is necessary so that the second user can use his own SIM card and not receive calls from the owner.

After returning the phone, the owner can simply disable call barring and use it as before.

Types of prohibitions:

• All types of outgoing communications;
• Outgoing calls during the entire time you are in another country. In this case, the subscriber will be able to call within Russia;
• All calls from any specific country or from all other countries;
• Absolutely all incoming;
• Incoming messages related to foreign GSM;
• Absolutely all calls, with the exception of emergency services;
• All of the same type as fax and voice;
• Any, except for voice and fax.

If incoming MegaFon or any other calls are prohibited, then forwarding will not function. These services cannot operate simultaneously.

You also need to remember that when using call barring, you must use the call variety code. Otherwise, all types of calls will be prohibited.

Emergency services will always be available, regardless of any prohibition.

At the same moment, it is possible to prohibit only one of the outgoing and one of the incoming directions. If you use another ban, then those that were made earlier will be invalid.

Possible reasons

The main reason why a user’s connection is disconnected is a negative account on the smartphone. The subscriber did not pay the money for the tariff plan on time, so the provider limited or removed a number of the main functions that the person used.

If there is money in the account, but communication restrictions from the Megafon company are still installed, then you need to check:

• SIM card The SIM card to which the owner’s number is assigned may have expired;
• is there roaming? Sometimes a ban is imposed on those who are roaming;
• attack by intruders. It happens that they specifically block communication;
• The mobile phone does not work. The communication module is broken or the device is broken.

To solve the problem, to disable blocking, if all the above parameters are met, viewing the installed services on your phone will help.

• Attention
• Some operator applications that are specially installed for users can block calls.

How can I remove call barring?

Call barring can be canceled using a password. This option can be disabled using special commands. If you need to remove the ban on absolutely all calls, use: #barring option code*own password#. When you need to cancel only some types of calls, use: #barring option code*your password*type of call#. It is also possible to use special Ussd commands for this purpose.

The ban on incoming and outgoing calls can be removed in the private premises of the communication salon. You should take your passport and go to the nearest communication store in your city. Then the employee will help remove the ban. But even then you need to use your password.

Restriction of outgoing

More blocking options are provided for outgoing messages. You can completely restrict calls from a number, or just block calls to numbers in other countries. The third version of the ban provides for a restriction on making calls in international roaming, but it is worth considering that calls to all Russian numbers will remain active. If you need to limit them too, then you should set the first type of restriction.

Action	Barring all outgoing calls	Barring outgoing international calls	Banning outgoing calls while roaming
Setting a ban	*33* password *11#	*331* password *11#	*332* password *11#
Lifting the ban	#33* password *11#	#331* password *11#	#332* password *11#
Checking status	*#33*11#	*#331*11#	*#332*11#

Do not forget that all types of call barring on MegaFon are mutually exclusive, and activating another type means canceling the installed one. Thus, only the type of ban that is installed last will be in effect.

How to remove call barring in gadget settings

When the question arises about how to disable inboxes on MegaFon , you need to remember that certain mobile models have an internal blacklist. Which functions exactly the same as call barring.

To disable the blacklist and access certain phone numbers if you have a Samsung mobile phone, you need to go to the call log and hold down the number. And then in the “Add to black list” menu that appears, you should uncheck this item. And then you can call previously blocked numbers. For other gadgets, similar actions may be slightly different.

How to block spam calls on Megafon

It happens that strange messages come to your number. For example, with a notification of a win, or with a request to top up your account. The main thing is not to believe what is written and not to follow the links provided. In such a situation, you can use the free one.

To use this option, which will block mailings from unwanted numbers, do the following:

• Dial *903#call.

How to prevent unnecessary spending

Blacklists

Another, more popular, way to prevent receiving incoming calls from other subscribers is the “Black List”. The resource allows you to block selected phones.

For reference! The operator informs that the user has the right to block any numbers, but short ones do not apply to this number, since in order to add a phone to the emergency situation, it is necessary to enter it in international format indicating the 7 digits of the main phone.

Features of the option

Each client of the operator can connect to the use of the resource on a free basis, while daily use will be charged 1 ruble per day.

From the moment the phone is added to the prohibited list, when its owner tries to call the subscriber, a voice notification will sound indicating that the number is entered incorrectly and that you need to double-check the data and call back.

The use of the service is subject to several restrictions and conditions:

• the maximum size of an emergency cannot exceed 100 contacts;
• SMS messages continue to arrive, the blocking only applies to calls;
• when forwarding is enabled, blocked contacts will be able to call;
• the operator does not guarantee stable operation of the service when blocking phones of other networks, landline and analogue telephone exchanges.

Attention! Once the user's balance reaches zero or a negative value, all calls are received in standard mode.

Description

Using this option, clients can enjoy the following restrictions:

• Create a ban on all incoming calls;
• Create a ban on all outgoing calls;
• Ban outgoing calls to all countries of the world;
• Barring incoming calls while roaming;
• Prohibition of sending and receiving messages.

It is worth noting that activation of the option is possible only using a special code that is inherent in the option. By default it looks like 1111 or 0000 for some other regions. Subscribers also have the opportunity to change the password for easier use. In addition, changing the password will eliminate possible misunderstandings.

Changing the password is possible during service activation. To do this, you will need to write a new access code in the required column, which will appear on the phone screen. You can also change the password using a special service kit. On the device you must enter **03*330*current code*new code*new password#. After dialing and making a call, the subscriber will receive a message with information about changing the code.

You should be careful when changing your password. After all, if the code is entered incorrectly three times, the service will be blocked. If a blocking occurs, you will no longer be able to use the option on this number. To resolve such a problem, you will have to contact the specialists of MegaFon branded stores.

Since the service is standard and can be used on any tariff plan, there is no charge for it. It is also worth emphasizing that subscribers can use it anywhere in Russia.
