1. USSD request.
   Dial the symbol combination
   *442*24*(subscriber number)#
   . Please provide your phone number in international format. For example, *442*24*79133346776 . Send this request using the call button. As a result, the number will be deleted and your number will become available to this subscriber for communication.
2. SMS message.
   In the message text field, enter
   22*(subscriber number)
   and send it to service number 4424. For example, 22*79133346776 .

How to connect and disconnect

, thanks to which the phone gets rid of unnecessary messages and calls, is activated either through your Personal Account or through a USSD command. The second option is simpler - just enter the combination *111*442# on the dialing screen and click “Call”. Notification of the results of request processing will arrive within a couple of minutes in the form of SMS.

To connect through your Personal Account, log in to the portal or the My MTS mobile application. Then go to the “Services and Options” section, find “Black List” in the list of available ones and activate using the button located next to it. If the service is not in the list, it is probably impossible to connect it to your number at the moment. For more details, please contact the call center at 0890 for free.

Options for disabling:

3. In your Personal Account, open the section with the active ones in the list and click on the “Disable” button.

All of the above methods of disabling are free.

conclusions

The service for restricting unwanted calls on MTS has wide functionality and allows you not only to restrict calls from individual numbers, but also to create certain rules. This functionality of the “Black List” allows you to use it as an effective tool for controlling calls not only to your own number, but also to your child’s number. Additionally, it is worth noting that you can block not only calls, but also SMS, as well as advertising from short numbers and alpha numbers. The only limitation for the service is no more than 300 numbers in the blocking list.

Service management

After adding a number to the Black List, you can block SMS and calls from it (both together and separately). When the block is activated, messages will not reach you, and when you try to call, the interlocutor will hear an automatic response from the operator about the unavailability, busy or disconnected device.

To add a number to the Black List, dial a message with code 22* and its number, and then send it to 4424 (free). For example, “22*9059998877” (without quotes). In this case, the hang-up signal will automatically be set to a message that the subscriber is out of range or his device is turned off.

Commands for managing numbers from the “Black List” are presented in the following table.

Rules and technical information about the service:

• Your Personal Account provides functionality for setting a blocking schedule for individual numbers. You can customize weeks, days, and your own time intervals.
• You can add a number to the “Black List”, even if it is local or international, but you must enter them in teams according to international rules, putting the country code at the beginning. For example, 79169998877.
• The service does not depend on the model of the subscriber device, operating system and installed applications.
• To block access to the list, you can set a secret code of 4-8 characters, without entering which access to managing the service will be denied. To install, use the USSD portal using the command *442# or send an SMS with the number 5 to 4424. The code can be disabled via: USSD code *111*442# or the message “442*3” to 111. Both options are free.

Service capabilities

You can restrict calls from phone numbers to MTS without using the Black List service, since most modern devices allow you to add numbers to the phone’s emergency list. To do this, just select a number in the call log, open settings, and limit calls and SMS. However, this option for limiting calls has one significant disadvantage. If a blocked user calls you, he simply will not be able to get through and will guess that he is on the blocked list. Using the MTS “Black List” service, you don’t have to worry that if you enter a number into the service, the caller will guess about the restriction for his number. MTS offers flexible settings for each phone number that can be added to the Black List. The following notifications for the caller are available for selection:

• Subscriber unavailability;
• Setting the busy signal.

You can add a number to the “Black List” on MTS for free, and you can choose to block calls, SMS, or limit both services for a number. It is also possible not only to restrict the service for individual numbers, but also for a certain group of numbers starting with certain numbers, or to completely disable all incoming calls.

Additionally, you can set a time limit for calls, or allow calls only from certain numbers. This functionality will be especially relevant when using the “Black List” on a child’s phone. When using the “Black List” for children, the service is paid from the parent’s number and has expanded capabilities:

• Ban on incoming calls and SMS;
• Ban on outgoing calls and SMS;
• Notification of messages from content numbers;
• Antispam - ban on SMS from short and alpha numbers.

When connecting the “Black List”, the additional option “Anti-SPAM” will also be available. It will allow you to limit advertising SMS from short numbers, or those that use alphabetic values ​​instead of numbers. It will be possible to configure an exception for individual numbers if necessary.
