Hidden number on Megafon. Detailed description of the service
In order to hide your number on Megafon when calling anyone you need to use.
Thanks to it, you can hide your number on a megaphone, even if the called party has caller ID enabled.
The AntiAON service can be provided on a one-time or ongoing basis.
If AntiAON is connected on an ongoing basis, then the subscription fee is charged daily.
You can connect or disconnect the service on any day within a month.
The service is valid for an unlimited amount of time from the moment it was activated.
When the service user changes the tariff, the service continues to operate under the same conditions.
Sometimes, when you call a subscriber on another network, the service may not work and your number will be identified. This also works when sending SMS messages and calls at someone else’s expense or through the “Voice for Pumping” service. In addition, the service will not work if your interlocutor uses SuperAON.
Peculiarities
As mentioned above, the provider allows you to activate two options for “hiding” services on a number. However, the terms of service say that the “incognito” function works correctly only when calling network subscribers. In case of outgoing calls to other Russian cellular networks, the number may remain visible.
The option is available throughout the Russian Federation. The function can be activated by a subscriber on any Megafon tariff plan. The service is not free. To use the AntiAON option on an ongoing basis, you will have to pay 5 rubles per day. The cost of one-time number hiding is 7 rubles.
The “incognito” function does not apply to SMS messages. That is, during text correspondence, the number series will be visible.
You can enable the option in various ways:
- By sending a USSD request * 221 #;
- On the official website of the provider;
- Through your Personal Account, or a specialized application for mobile devices.
In addition, product activation can be performed directly at the mobile operator’s office (with a passport).
To use the one-time option, just send a request from your mobile phone in the following format: # 31 # number series of the called subscriber, and press the call button. For example, #31 #+7ХХХХХХХХХХ.
If the “hiding” function is working on the phone, and the subscriber wants his number to be displayed on the interlocutor’s mobile phone, before dialing you need to dial the following combination: # 31 # +7ХХХХХХХХХХ . As you can see, it is identical to the one described above.
If the subscriber decides to get rid of the “AntiAON” option, he can do this in several ways:
- By sending a system request;
- Through the provider's office center;
- In the Megafon user's personal account;
- Through the menu of your gadget.
Let's look at each method in detail.

Connecting the “Super Caller ID” option
How to find out who called Megafon from a hidden number? You must first enable this option. You can do this in the following ways:
- sending a USSD request;
- SMS message;
- contact support;
- through your personal account.
The first method involves sending the combination *502# from a mobile device. The service is activated throughout the day and the subscriber will receive a notification about activation of the option. The second option is to send a blank text message to number 5502. When connecting “Super Caller ID” in this way, it is worth considering that the subscriber’s account must have the amount needed to pay for the option.
The easiest way to contact support is. You just call the operator, communicate with him and leave a request. They will do the rest without you. Registered users of the Personal Account can use it to activate the service. Here you only need to enter your phone number and password. Next, you need to find the desired service and follow the instructions to connect it.
If you succeed, you can ask an anonymous subscriber to send you an SMS message. Thus, your unknown number will be displayed, since Caller ID does not apply to messages. It is designed for outgoing calls only, so if the other subscriber is going to write a message to someone, there is simply no point in hiding the number.
You can deactivate the service in the same ways as you can activate it. You just have to select the appropriate sections.
