Beeline, like any other operator, offers its customers the opportunity to use paid services and additional SMS content.
Messages may contain information of a different nature, for example:
1. Horoscopes. 2. Recipes. 3. News. 4. Jokes. 5. Films and TV series. 6. Music and beeps. 7. Quizzes. 8. Books and much more.
All paid content comes from the following numbers:
- 9931; - 4446; - 9855; - 9195; 5591 and 5592 (now this is one subscription); - 9197.
How to disable services for this number
People often complain that their phones independently send SMS to unknown numbers 4446, after which various amounts begin to be debited from their mobile balance. This usually happens when advertising is displayed in mobile games, regardless of the phone model. Games may contain links to this subscription on older, push-button models. If you confirm the purchase of game valuables and other things, then a purchase request is sent from your number through the mentioned number.
After you have found out what kind of phone number 4446 you can refuse its services, to do this you need to:
- on the site itself, where the link from the game takes you, you can disable this;
- for Beeline subscribers, you need to send an SMS message, in the text of which write STOP to the short number 2210/4446, it is free;
- if you are an MTS subscriber, send an SMS with the word STOP and send it to this number 770640;
- Subscribers of other operators can dial toll-free number 8 and ask the operator for help to disable the subscription.

legislation
Is there any basis for such claims, strictly speaking? After all, at some point the user voluntarily performed some action that ensured his place as a victim in the chain (relative to the short number 5656). This is precisely the position that telecom operators adhere to when a subscriber, outraged by the loss of money, begins to search for the truth.
The answer is yes, there is
And this is called the federal law of July 23, 2013 N 229-FZ “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Communications”.
In it, Article 2 of the Basic Law is supplemented with subclause 34.1, which defines what “content services” are.
The legislator made this definition as general as possible, practically fitting into it everything that is not the actual connection. Those. if the user using the phone and through the telecom operator’s channels receives, quote,
...reference, entertainment and (or) other additionally paid information...", gets the opportunity "... to participate in voting, games, competitions and similar events...,
Then he, the user, receives a content service. And it, in turn, being provided with the participation of third parties, falls under the addition of paragraph 5 of Article 44 of the Federal Law “On Communications”, which prescribes a mechanism for protecting the consumer by:
- firstly, the possibility of creating, at his request, a separate account to pay only for content services;
- secondly, the requirement to obtain explicit consent to receive such services;
- thirdly, about comprehensive information, including prices and names of suppliers, about these services before obtaining consent.
Another addition, established by 229-FZ, to paragraph 5 of Article 54 of the Basic Law, states that services provided in violation of any of the above are not subject to payment. And finally, Article 68 of the main communications law is supplemented by paragraph 8, which directly indicates the operator’s responsibility for the implementation of Article 44 (see above).
Let’s summarize the legislative information, projecting the rights and responsibilities spelled out in it onto the practical side of life.
If the user consciously wants to become a consumer of content services, then you can secure your account for paying for communications by declaring your intention to open a separate content account to cover the costs of mobile subscriptions and SMS from short numbers. If it is exhausted, funds intended for regular conversations and SMS will not be affected.
For telecom operators Beeline and TELE2, this action is automated and is carried out by sending a USSD request, *110*5062# and *160#, respectively. Sets of commands are also provided for replenishment and checking the balance.
Megafon and MTS require a personal appearance at the office and presentation of a passport, and one must understand that regardless of the method of expression of will, the very fact of opening an account confirms voluntary consent to receive content services, and strictly speaking makes it unnecessary to inform about the details (in including price) of the same mobile subscription.
How do short numbers work?
There are several terms that you need to know to understand how certain operator short numbers work:
- a partner is an official or individual who rents a short number for a certain period. It is used to connect or provide paid services;
- a content provider is primarily an organization that rents numbers from a mobile operator and distributes its services and products through them; it can also rent out its numbers to certain aggregators;
- an aggregator is a large content provider that rents rooms.
Often the services that aggregators and other participants in the scheme provide via leased short numbers are poorly controlled, and in some cases not controlled at all. Therefore, you can often hear from the operator that they cannot help with issues of disabling services via short numbers or send the subscriber to other services. Often short numbers are a means of deceiving subscribers.
In order not to fall into the trap of scammers and opaque schemes of organizations, it is necessary to disable short number services. Almost every operator in the Russian Federation provides subscribers with this opportunity. You will be able to disable the number 4446, which subscribes to different services.

How to disable short number services in Megafon
Having figured out who owns the short number 4446, let's look at how to disable short number services. Each Megafon subscriber has the opportunity to deactivate the service using the mentioned short number. This can be done through your personal account on the website. If you live in a large city, you can contact a communication salon, where they will tell you what to do next. You will need to make a short written statement that you refuse services. You must have a document confirming your identity with you. If this option does not suit you, you can dial the USSD command on your smartphone *105*7000# and the green call button.
How to disable “Surprise for an erudite”
For an erudite, a smartphone is an entertainment service that can be used as needed. In order not to pay extra money, you need to know how to disable the option. As with other services, deactivation can be done by simply sending an SMS to one of the Beeline operator numbers. If you have an Android or iPhone device, you should dial 77-06. The message should consist of two words: “Stop Erudit.” There is no need to include quotation marks or any other symbols.
If you have another version of the Premium service connected, you need to send messages with a different content to the same number: “Stop Erudit+”. In both the first and second cases, the use of both Latin and Cyrillic alphabet is allowed.
After sending the text indicated above, wait for the response SMS. It should come if everything is done correctly. Only after receiving a response message will the service be disabled and money for using it will no longer be withdrawn from your account. If you have Beeline, you can disable the service by dialing 068-42-10-04. In cases where the quiz was connected along with the “Chameleon” option, you can turn it off by dialing another number 068421229. After these steps, again, you need to make sure that you receive a response SMS.

Mobile subscription to number 5656
If it happened that money began to be debited from the account regularly, daily and in equal amounts, and the owner of the phone, it would seem, did nothing specifically for this, most likely a paid mobile subscription was issued to his number - read what this is below
Its essence is that the cellular user has somehow agreed to receive regular information for a fee, for example, you received an SMS on your phone from the above number with the text: “send SMS...”. At the same time, information such as: what kind of service, what kind of subscription, what kind of website, the cost of the subscription, how to delete a subscription or how to disable it is often not directly shown.
Someone, a partner of your operator, called a content provider in professional slang, supplies you with content for a fee:
- provides information
- provides a service by providing access to an online game, website, program, etc.
The operator finds himself on the sidelines, as he publicly warns on his website that yes, there is paid content, that it is provided by third-party organizations to which the operator itself has no connection.
No, except that he debits money from the subscriber’s account and he also provides the short number to the content provider.
In most cases, the short four-digit number 5656 is rented out by the mobile operator (Megafon, MTS, Beeline, Tele2), receiving a fee for it, and, as a rule, a percentage of the amounts paid by the owner of the phone in favor of the provider.
Disable all services in MTS
In MTS, subscribers can disable all paid services at once, which they connected using short numbers. This can be done in your personal account, here you need to find the “Content Prohibition” section. You can call the operator by dialing 8 800 250 0890 or simply 0890. The short number is available only in the MTS network. You can disable all short numbers for your number by typing *984# and the call key on your mobile keyboard. If a subscriber switches to one of the corporate tariff plans, the service of banning all short numbers will be activated automatically. In this case, you will no longer have to disable services on the number mentioned above.
