How to quickly find out who is calling from an unknown phone number

How to hide your phone number

For all operators operating in the Russian Federation, (ON) is installed by default when registering a starter package on the network. This feature allows you to see exactly who is calling at the moment. The 11-digit combination is displayed on the smartphone screen, which allows you to later save it in the phone book and call back if necessary. To remain incognito, you need to connect (Caller ID).

Each operator has its own combination of numbers to activate the anti-identifier. For Beeline, for example, you need to enter the USSD command *110*071# and press the call button. From now on, all the subscribers you call will see “Unknown number” on the smartphone screen instead of yours. This service is not free. As a rule, cellular operators charge a usage fee of 30-100 rubles per month or a couple of rubles per day.

How the Caller ID and Super Caller ID services work

Sometimes AntiAON phone encryption services are used by interested parties not to protect their data, but to deliberately cause discomfort to other cellular users, and some clients find such calls very tiring. In this case, the Mobile Telesystems operator has developed 2 proposals that allow consumers to find out who is calling even if the number is hidden.

It is up to the subscriber to choose which service is better. are often used by collection firms, advertising companies, etc., if communication with them is undesirable, then find out for sure that a call from such an organization will allow you to connect to the Super Caller ID service.

How to find out a hidden phone number

If unknown people call you, you can easily get out of the situation by connecting the so-called “Super Caller ID” (SON). What does this give? You will be able to identify an incoming call even if anti-identification is enabled on the calling party.

On Beeline

Beeline provides it to subscribers on a paid basis. The subscription fee for the daily format is 50 rubles. Additionally, a certain amount may also be charged upon connection. It is important to understand that identification of incoming messages is only possible using the Super Identifier. What is needed for this?

• To connect, call the command *110*4161#.
• Deactivated by executing the command *110*4160#.

On MTS

Connecting “SON” to MTS is extremely simple. To do this you need:

• Enable the corresponding function in the “My MTS” application.
• Use the “Personal Account” on the operator’s website.
• Execute the command *111*007#.

The service is paid. The operator charges a one-time connection fee of 2,000 rubles. In this case, the user is forced to pay 6.5 rubles per day for use. You can disable it using the command *110*007#.

On MegaFon

The SON service is 100% operational only within its region. It may not work correctly in other regions. In practice, by connecting the functionality, you can use it throughout the country. To activate SON on MegaFon, you need to dial *502#. Disabling is performed with the command *502*4#. The operator does not charge a connection fee, but a month of use will cost 1,500 rubles.

On Tele2

You can find out a hidden phone number on the Tele2 operator using the command *210*1#. The service has a different name - a determinant of deliberately hidden numbers. Tariffs for use are 4 rubles per connection and the same amount for use per day. You can disable it using the command *210*0#.

Cost from Russian operators

How to call anonymously from MTS?

To do this, you need to activate the AntiAON service, but it is paid.

This can be done either from your personal account, using a key combination, or by calling the contact center 8-800-25-00-890.

There are several of these, and “AntiAON on request”.

Here is a link to one of them

Both of them are paid, and remember two things:

1) MTS guarantees that your number will be hidden from MTS subscribers; it will be for other operators, but there is no guarantee.

2) A person can connect, and then he will still see who is calling him.

Find out a hidden number using details

There is another way to find out who called. To do this, it is not necessary to activate the paid Super Determinator function. The method is called “Call Detailing”. All operators have it. It must be pre-ordered in the user’s personal account in the application on a smartphone, on the website or directly at the operator’s office. The option is free.

You can order details directly on your operator’s website if you have an account linked to a SIM card. After entering your login and password, go to the “Financial Information” section, specify the desired period and format of the uploaded file. The system will take time to generate the summary - usually a couple of minutes. As a result, you will receive a full report on all incoming calls for the specified period.

The information is presented in expanded form, that is, indicating the numbers of callers and the cost of services.

All of these steps can also be performed by visiting the operator’s office. Detailing is an actual listing of incoming and outgoing calls over a certain period of time. The operation itself is short, but requires identification and provision of SIM card information. The only drawback is that missed calls are not detected.

SuperAON qualifier

A subscriber can make a secret call using two options:

1. One-time caller ID. This opportunity is used when you need to make a limited number of anonymous calls to certain phones. Payment is charged for each hidden call separately.
2. AntiAON. It is connected on an ongoing basis, and all outgoing calls are made anonymously. Regardless of the frequency of use, a monthly subscription fee is charged for the service.

One-time ban on number identification. No special connection required. All that is required from the subscriber is to dial the code #31# in front of the phone number and make a call. In this case, 7 rubles will be debited for each hidden number. Accordingly, the monthly cost in this case will directly depend on the total number of anonymous calls made by the subscriber.

AntiAON from Megafon. This is already considered a special function that needs to be enabled. The phone will be hidden from all other Megafon clients and most clients of other mobile operators. The subscription fee for use is 5 rubles per day, and it does not matter how many times the subscriber called with his number hidden. This option is more suitable for those who make a large number of anonymous calls during the month.

Hide a number through your phone settings. If necessary, the user can enable Anti-AON on his smartphone for anonymous calls. Just go to the settings menu of your mobile device, select the “Transfer your number” (or other similar) tab and click “NO”.

From now on, all outgoing calls will be made anonymously. However, in this case the service will not be free; money will be charged for each call. Free anonymous calls are a thing of the past. Today, all mobile operators, regardless of the method of connecting AntiAONA, charge a fee for this. Therefore, if you need to hide a number one-time or periodically, to save money, you should return all phone settings to their original values.

Other ways to hide your number. A Megafon client will be able to enable Caller ID by sending any SMS to the number 000105501. The service will also become available after sending the USSD combination *105*501#.

Just in case, you need to make sure that the correct item is checked in the “Transfer your number” menu – “NO”. The number will be hidden for all outgoing calls. Connecting in this way will cost 10 rubles. And every day 5 rubles will be debited as a subscription fee for using the service.

Meanwhile, calls cannot always be made anonymously. For example, if the called user is connected, he will be able to see even hidden numbers.

does not guarantee the operation of AntiAON when calling phones of other cellular companies. You cannot secretly send SMS or MMS messages.

The connection and correct operation of the Anti-Identifier is not guaranteed when activated. If you want to hide outgoing calls, it is recommended to cancel this option.

Thanks to caller ID, you can find out exactly who is calling you, that is, see the caller’s digits.
