How to hide a number on Tele2 using the Anti-identifier service

There are situations in which you may need to hide your number from the person you are going to call. For example, when trying to call a subscriber who owes you money, or during a business conversation. It is in such cases that information on how to hide a number on Tele2 becomes useful. Below are detailed instructions.

First, you will need to disable automatic caller ID (Caller ID), which is installed by default in any operator SIM card. With it you can:

• find out the number or name of the subscriber who is calling you;
• view a list of numbers that have recently been called;
• set individual ringtones for each contact from the phone book.

How to call from a hidden Tele2 number

To call from an unknown phone, you need to activate the service. This can be done in your personal account, in the application, or by sending system requests.

The correctness of the service is guaranteed only if both subscribers are in their home region, and if the recipient of the call is also a Tele2 subscriber. In other cases, the service may fail. Especially when calling landlines and numbers of other operators.

When calling the customer support service with the AntiAON service activated, information about the balance, tariff, subscriptions and services through the auto-informer is not available.

Connecting an option using the USSD command

Use short commands for quick activation:

• To connect, dial *117*1# and press the call button.
• To check the status (connected or not), send a request *117#.

This connection method is convenient because it does not require an Internet connection. It even works on regular push-button phones.

On the Tele2 website

You can connect in your personal account. In order to use the service, you need:

• Go to the official Tele2 website.
• Click on the “Login to your account” button in the right corner of the page.
• Log in – enter your phone number and password.
• Open the “Service Management” section.
• In the list of services available for connection, select the “Security” category.
• Find "Anti-determiner" and click "Connect".
• Confirm the action by clicking the connect button again.

A notification in the form of SMS will be sent to your phone about the successful activation of the option.

How to hide a number through the application

The My Tele2 application contains the same functions as in your personal account. It can be downloaded from Google Play or AppStore for free. Open and log in to the system. To log in, use the same data as on the site.

Find the services section, select AntiAON and connect by clicking on the appropriate button.

Connection via phone settings

This method doesn't always work, but it's still worth a try. To change settings on your phone, do the following:

1. From the main menu, go to the “Phone” section (handset icon).
2. Open the menu (three dots in the upper corner of the screen).
3. Select "Settings".
4. Next – “Other/Advanced/Advanced”, depending on the smartphone model, the name of the item may differ.
5. Find "Caller Identification".
6. Select an operator (if 2 SIM cards work).
7. Turn on the “Hide number” feature.

This setting usually defaults to "Network Defined" or "Use Network Settings." Change it to “Hide”. After that, check whether it worked or not - call someone. The phone is not detected - everything is fine, you can use it. If it was not possible to secure the numbers, it means that the operator is blocking the function.

Cost and terms of service

Each Tele2 tariff has a built-in Caller ID function, which allows subscribers to see the numbers of another person. This standard service will not show the number combination when the Anti-Identifier is installed. If a user wants to call and write SMS from an anonymous line, he can hide his number forever on Tele2. The provider provides the service on favorable terms. To remove or open an unknown number, there are a number of conditions and restrictions:

1. Subscribers with federal numbers can hide their phone numbers.
2. Activation of the “Anti-identifier” (AON) costs 3.1 rubles at a time. The same amount will be debited once a day.
3. If the user runs out of funds in his account, the function is temporarily blocked.
4. When calling people who have “Intentionally hidden caller ID” installed, the service will not work.
5. The cost of Caller ID may change if a person is outside his home region or has traveled abroad.

When calling numbers of subscribers of other mobile operators, Caller ID does not always work correctly. If you make the number unknown, you will not be able to listen to information via the auto-informer at 611 about your balance, availability of paid subscriptions, or additional information about your tariff plan.

How to hide Tele2 number one time

If you need to hide your number not permanently, but for just one call, use this method. It does not apply specifically to the Tele2 operator - it is universal and suitable for all subscribers.

This method involves entering a special command that changes the phone settings and is valid only for the current call - for one time. To use it:

• Open your phone keypad.
• Write the number to call. You can select it in the phone book or in the call log - press and hold the desired phone, select “Change and call” from the pop-up menu.
• Before the numbers, put the following combination: #31#. For example: #31#+79991234567.

You won’t have to pay extra for this, and no paid services will be activated, since the numbers can be closed through the phone settings.

Disabling the service

In cases where there is no longer a need to hide the number and to preserve the balance, you should disable it. Deactivation is carried out using one of the following methods:

1. Using a mobile device and a request. You need to dial *117*0# on the keypad and make a call. After deactivation, the user is informed via incoming SMS.
2. It is easy to disable the service through your personal account in the appropriate section.
3. You can disconnect via a mobile application, as long as you have access to the Internet.
4. Employees of the Tele2 company quickly deactivate the number, but only if they have a passport to confirm their identity. In this case, you can call the support operator by toll-free number 611 or go to the Tele2 branded salon.

If the disconnection message does not arrive, you can check the status of the service by requesting *117#.

How to find out a hidden number

To protect against AntiAON users, there is another one. If it is installed on a SIM card, then the subscriber will see hidden numbers on the phone screen, as with a regular call. So, if someone calls anonymously too often, you can enable the option and identify the bully. This service is also paid. Activated by sending a request *210*1# or in your personal account.

It’s easy to activate the AntiAON service on Tele2, but remember that it does not work for all calls. There is a high probability that the number will be visible to subscribers of other operators and on city phones with ID.

You should not use a hidden phone for threats or blackmail. If desired, the number can be found out from the operator through call details, and criminal or administrative liability can be applied to the violator.

For several years he worked in mobile phone stores of two large operators. I understand tariffs well and see all the pitfalls. I love gadgets, especially Android ones.

Connecting AntiAON through phone settings

How to hide a Tele2 number for free, because not all phones can do this using call parameters?

Try going to the phone menu and finding the settings or parameters of the device; in the “Network” tab you should find the “Hidden number” field. Next, you should click “Hide”, and from the line “Defined by the network” you need to uncheck the box.

Try checking your work by calling a friend.

This option is provided free of charge. If the number is still visible to other subscribers, then you will need to activate a paid function from the company.

Service cost

The first connection is free, the subsequent one will cost 3 rubles, and the subscription fee will be 3 rubles per day.

It is worth noting that prices may vary depending on the region, so check with the operator for the cost before ordering.

How to disable?

Disabling AntiAON is quite simple. This can be done in two ways: in the “Personal Account” on the official website tele2.ru or using a special USSD request *117*0#.

After deactivating the feature, your data will be displayed on outgoing calls. The service fee ceases to be charged the next day after its deactivation.

The “Anti-AON” option is a simple and inexpensive way to hide your data when making outgoing calls. After activating it, you will be able to make calls in cognito mode.

How to enable and disable the option

You can activate this offer in several available ways:

• In the window for dialing a telephone number, enter the combination of characters *117*1# and call. After this, your device will receive a notification about the success of the actions performed;
• Log in to the subscriber’s personal account on the operator’s official website on the Internet. In this menu, select the services tab, find the corresponding item and activate it;
• contact a specialist by dialing 611. You will be advised on all questions that arise and will enable the option remotely;
• visit any nearest provider's post office and ask for assistance from consultants.

You can disable a hidden number on Tele2 by following the same steps as when you turn it on, just the other way around:

• On the virtual keyboard of your mobile device, enter the command *117*0#, make a call;
• go to the user’s personal account on the provider’s page. Open the active connections tab and deactivate the corresponding service;
• Find a sales and contract office in your city and ask for advice on the issue that has arisen;
• Call the technical assistance service (611). Operators will immediately disable the option remotely.

Why is the number hidden?

By default, when you connect your phone to the Tele2 operator’s cellular network, “automatic caller ID” is provided. Since this service is enabled from the very beginning and its use is free, many users do not even suspect that it can be disabled.

For those who want to hide their number from the eyes of the receiving subscriber, Tele2 offers to use. To enable or disable this function, you must send a USSD request. In the same way, you can find out the cost of the service for a specific region. There are a number of caveats to using the service.

For example, when making a call to the number of another mobile operator, there is no guarantee that Anti-AON will work and the subscriber will not know who called him.

Price

The cost of the AntiAON option depends on the region of connection:

Check the cost of the anti-identifier for other regions of the Russian Federation on the official website of the Tele2 company or by calling the helpline 611.

Connecting the option is free.

Features of the mobile operator Tele2

The telecommunications company Tele2 appeared on the communications market much later than its current competitors Megafon, Beeline and MTS. But despite this, it is on the list of leading mobile operators. The reasons for the rapid growth of its popularity are associated with several beneficial factors:

1. Cheap monthly maintenance fee. To this you can also add relatively favorable tariff conditions. So, if you compare the “Very Black” tariff from Tele2 and the “Smart” tariff from MTS, you can notice significant differences. The fee for the Tele two tariff plan is 150 rubles, and for Smart you will have to pay 250 rubles. The functionality of the first tariff includes a large Internet package - 4 gigabytes, 300 SMS and 350 minutes of free calls within the network. MTS does not have such characteristics. The size of the Internet package is only 2 gigabytes, but this tariff still has its own characteristic advantage - the possibility of unlimited communication with people who use the services of a similar operator.
2. Quality service. The Tele2 operator promptly notifies its customers about all innovations and gives the opportunity to switch to other tariff conditions for free. If the subscriber is concerned about any question, he can always contact the call center operator at any time of the day.
3. Conscientious attitude towards clients. The operator confirms this point by the fact that it does not activate any additional services or subscriptions for which a subscription fee is charged.

The advantages can also include all the available services on Tele2. Most of them are designed for the comfort and convenience of subscribers, because often the services are either completely free or require small financial investments.

What is AntiAON

Each Tele2 subscriber is connected by default. It is provided without a monthly fee and allows you to determine the number of the calling subscriber. The service does not require a connection and is provided as part of the basic package. “AntiAON” is its antipode - it allows you to hide your own phone number when dialing another subscriber.

This service is used to make anonymous calls to other subscribers. They will not see the phone number of the calling subscriber; instead, one of the inscriptions is displayed on the display - “Anonymous call”, “Unknown number”, “Number not identified”, etc. The content of the inscription depends on the model of the mobile phone and its firmware. You can block such calls by activating the corresponding functions in the black list. If this feature is not available, install the blacklist and whitelist app from the app store for your mobile platform.
