Each subscriber regularly faces a situation when he tries to call someone, and in response he hears an answering machine notification: “The called subscriber is temporarily unavailable” or “The subscriber is out of network coverage.” Both of these answers bring unpleasant sensations, especially if the caller’s question requires an urgent solution.
The Beeline “I have a contact” service is designed to notify users that the desired subscriber is back on the network.
Description
First, let's give a description of Beeline's “I have a contact.” This service is designed to receive notifications that a subscriber has appeared on the network. The operating algorithm is as follows:
- You are out of network coverage when another subscriber calls;
- As soon as you turn on the phone, users receive an SMS message with the notification “This subscriber is online” and your mobile phone number.
As you can see, this is a convenient opportunity to let people in your phone book know when you are ready to get in touch and appear within the coverage area of the operator’s network. The “Have a contact” option is suitable for subscribers who want to keep abreast of events and contact people from the phone book in a timely manner.

Operating principle and cost
The operator’s Internet resource https://moskva.beeline.ru provides a comprehensive description of the service - the operator monitors the phone number of the subscriber you called in real time. As soon as the phone number appears in the network service area, Beeline will automatically send a notification in the form of SMS to your number. For the convenience of users, the message is addressed on behalf of the user (and not as a service notification) to whose number the call was made.
Rate the practicality of this option:
- You are not distracted by an additional phone call. The time saved will be useful for urgent matters.
- You will be instantly notified of the possibility of calling a loved one's phone as soon as it becomes possible. You don’t have to double-check the subscriber’s availability for a call.
- SMS notifications are not charged. There is no charge for using the service itself or for messages within the specified service.
Price
Let's look at the cost of the option - many users think that it is provided for free. We hasten to inform you that in reality it is paid, however, not for everyone:
- Connection is made at no additional charge;
- The offer is provided free of charge to subscribers of certain tariffs, which we will discuss below;
- Users of archive tariff plans pay 1.5 rubles daily. Paid tariffs can be seen on the operator’s official website. Only such subscribers must transfer a certain amount for services.
Let us note the offers for which the subscription fee for the Beeline “I have a contact” option is not charged:
- “EVERYTHING” line;
- “All in one” line;
- Let's talk
- Zero doubts;
- “All for...” line;
- TP for modems and tablets on additional numbers of the product “General package of services for any devices.”
All other users will have to pay 1.5 rubles per day. As you can see, Beeline’s “I have a contact” option has become paid, but only for certain categories of subscribers, not for everyone.
Let's figure out how to connect the option on your phone and talk about the intricacies of control and disabling.
