Beeline, along with a wide range of tariff plans and an even larger family of additional services, also offers its clients the services of content providers for use. These are additional options within which users can receive various newsletters on their devices: news, entertainment content, games and applications, etc.

What are the paid subscriptions on Beeline?

To save money, we disable paid subscriptions.
The telecom operator offers customers different types of entertainment content: pictures, weather forecasts, films, applications. For connecting a subscription, you will be charged from 1 to 20 rubles. per day. There are also more expensive content options.

Subscriptions are provided both by the operator itself and by third-party companies. A catalog may be offered instead of the image or film itself.

For a daily fee, the user downloads the objects he needs. The mobile operator only sends out news and weather forecasts. The content provider sends anything.

What does an additional account number look like?

As for the information about what the additional account number looks like, intended exclusively for paying for the services of content providers, it does not differ much from the main phone number. The only exception is the first digit. If the main phone number is 9, then the additional balance should start with 6 instead of 9.

That is, if your phone number is 9031234567, then the additional balance number will be the same, with the exception of the first digit – 6031234567.

Once again. Remember: We enable the “Expense Control” option and do not replenish a new separate account, there should always be 0 rubles. We enjoy the absence of paid subscriptions to the services of content providers.

How to connect a paid subscription

These functions are activated when:

• accidentally clicking the confirmation button in a pop-up window;
• following links sent as messages;
• opening some Internet pages in the browser.

Sometimes the operator connects subscriptions without the user's knowledge. Not all subscribers pay attention to the constant debiting of small amounts.

Activation from short numbers

Sending an SMS to a 4-digit phone means automatic consent to connect to the service. The user can send the message accidentally or intentionally. An SMS with an offer to sign up for a subscription often comes to clients who use their number to register on various resources.

Order invoice details via email

One of the easiest ways to find out what is going on with a subscriber’s expenses is to order a detailed report to your own email inbox. This method is good because it allows you to view balance information at any time, even if the user is not currently able to connect to the World Wide Web. In addition, the option does not require a connection.

In order to use this option, you just need to send your email address via SMS to the short number 1401. After this, a report will be automatically generated and sent to the specified email. You will receive confirmation in a reply SMS message.

Ways to check for subscriptions

Additional balance service from Beeline

When applying for a SIM card from a Beeline provider, the user is assigned a personal account through which all transactions are recorded. For convenience, the client can create an additional balance in the Beeline company, which will display cash flows for payment for services, subscriptions and purchases of paid content. Additional balance allows you to protect yourself from receiving unwanted subscriptions. Before activating an Internet service or debiting funds, the system will inform the person about this.

We send an SMS with the word STOP.

This feature helps you create a separate invoice dedicated to paying for content. This way, the subscriber will avoid accidental activation of services with money being debited from the main balance. Connecting and using Expense Control is free.

Communication salon

Visiting a service center is a challenging but effective method. When contacting an employee, present your passport and voice your request.

How much to pay for Cost Control from Beeline

This service works only for the benefit of subscribers, as it does not involve any payment, including all types of operations on this service:

1. For the prepaid system, there is no subscription fee, which has a positive effect on user reviews of this service and helps in monitoring children.
2. Connecting and creating an additional balance is absolutely free.
3. Sending a request using the symbol combination command * 110 * 5062 # is also free.
4. There is no charge for activating the service on a phone number.

This shows that the Beeline company takes care of its customers, and in many services it does not charge fees for the services provided.

Connection, disconnection of service

There are three convenient ways to connect an additional balance:

1. USSD request by number *110*5062#. An SMS notification will inform you that the second balance has been created.
2. Through the provider's personal web account. To gain access, the client must register. After this, the subscriber will be able to manage his tariff, account, analyze expenses and control them.

Disabling the additional balance is not required. It is enough just not to replenish it. Product activation does not require a subscription fee. If the balance is zero, any paid services will be automatically rejected.

List of secret commands for Beeline that prohibit any write-offs and annoying notifications

Telecommunications services are regularly used by over 55 million Russians living in various parts of the country, and they all try to use all the opportunities and services to which they provide access.
These include voice, mobile internet, SMS text messaging, international roaming, pay TV and much more. However, unfortunately, this cellular mobile operator is extremely greedy and does not treat its subscribers very well, so such subscribers regularly face various random debits of money, which can occur, for example, as a result of signing up for a paid subscription. In addition, there are also annoying notifications that appear on the phone again and again, representing some kind of advertising in USSD format. A 4pda forum user under the nickname froster_dandy has compiled a complete list of commands designed to protect against any debits from the account and annoying notifications. These same commands allow you to protect yourself from unexpected debits from your balance, which can arise as a result of many different factors, but usually paid subscriptions. Interestingly, the mobile operator Beeline tries not to advertise these commands anywhere, so collecting them in one place was not too difficult. They should work for absolutely all clients of a given telecommunications company, regardless of the region and the tariff plan used, connected to the phone number.

For example, using special USSD commands that are entered into the phone dialer as if it were a regular phone number, you can prohibit sending advertising to an email address, disable a number of paid services, prohibit calls from the marketing department, disable advertising in the form of SMS and MMS , disable (it’s paid), prohibit receiving requests for calls at someone else’s expense, as well as many other services and features for which money will ultimately be debited from the Beeline subscriber’s phone number. In addition, and no less interesting, using special commands you can easily and simply turn on or turn off the 4G connection. If access to such a device is disabled, the phone will only be able to work in 2G and 3G, which will increase battery life.

Full list of commands:

• Disabling MMS advertising: 06740451;
• Disabling USSD advertising: 067405541;
• Disabling SMS advertising (for 1 year): 06740431;

Use all these commands at your own risk. Earlier it became known that the federal cellular operator Beeline launched a national tariff plan for only 99 rubles.

How to connect services

You can enable useful functionality using several simple methods. First, let's look at the methods that are standard for activating any cellular services:

• use your personal account. This option can be used by users who have access to the global network. Find the desired function and connect directly from your personal user account;
• call the Beeline operator at 8-800-700-0611, 0611;
• visit the official service center of the company at your place of residence.

In the event of a sudden shutdown of the contact recognition service, you can reactivate it free of charge using the following options:

• enter USSD combination *110*061# call;
• call 067 409 061.

The “Super Determinator” option also has combinations for quick activation:

• USSD combination *110*4161# call;
• call the numbers 0674 4161.

You can disable the service by calling 06744160 or dialing *110*4160#.

The standard one, which clearly works on a free basis, is a very useful tool, without which it will be difficult to recognize subscribers by sight - incoming, received or missed calls.

This option allows you to create an additional account balance for any subscriber, which will have one single purpose - the funds from it will be spent exclusively on paying for content services provided by Beeline partner providers. Thus, now subscribers do not have to worry about the fact that the content is all funds from the main account, and will leave them without communication.

Connection/disconnection and use are free.

The operator positions this option as controlling children’s expenses from expenses on paid content and subscriptions, but nothing prevents any Beeline subscriber from connecting “Expense Control” to themselves.

As a result: If there is no money in the additional account of a Beeline subscriber, then no paid subscriptions to your main number will be activated. It's simple.

Preamble

It’s easy to guess that such content is not offered to subscribers for free, and you have to pay for it. In general, this is why the audience of regular users of the services of content providers is, to put it mildly, not very wide.

And all because very, very often subscribers “receive” paid subscriptions to all sorts of “jokes of the day”, “horoscopes” and “weather forecasts in Uryupinsk” without even giving consent to connect them. Simply careless owners of websites that Beeline subscribers visit from mobile phones monetize them through automatic subscriptions of subscribers to the content of the service.

Telecom operators really liked this situation, because it generated additional income, but subscribers actively complained and in 2014, the Federal Law of July 23, 2013 No. 229-FZ “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Communications” was adopted and came into force.

Its essence is this:

Each telecom operator in Russia is obliged to provide the subscriber with the opportunity to open a separate account to pay for the services of content providers (read paid subscriptions).

At Beeline, this option is called “Expense Control” or “Separate personal account for paying for Provider services.” We’ll tell you how to connect it and get rid of subscription costs.

Content account: MTS | MegaFon | Beeline | Tele 2

How the service works

Before debiting money from the additional account, the client receives an SMS notification. Funds will not be transferred without confirmation. After activating the service, the following options will appear:

• request permission from the subscriber before purchasing the service;
• information about visiting paid Internet pages;
• information about the content provider: cost, functionality, restrictions, activation and deactivation options;
• monthly report on expenses on the balance sheet;
• messages about payment for each item that is issued on a Beeline client’s SIM card.

The additional balance is suitable for the child's number. With its help, parents will be able to keep costs under control, block requests for paid content, see time periods for accessing the Internet, and set a ban on certain functions.
