Review from Beeline
It is not easy for a person to decide to switch to a more beautiful phone number due to the difficulties that arise - it is necessary to personally inform family and friends about this.
This is inconvenient and time-consuming. In the process of calling, you may miss someone's number. And you may not wait for an important call from a person who was not notified in time about the change of number. The mobile operator Beeline provides a convenient solution - connecting the “Easy Step” option. This service allows you to automatically inform subscribers who make calls to their previous phone number. They will be sent detailed information via SMS with the new number of the user they called.
The list to whom such information will be provided is determined personally by the user, based on his wishes. There is no need to notify your friends and family about the change of phone number. We wrote in detail about how to change your number on Beeline here.
How the service works
Today you can switch to another operator while maintaining your previous phone number. This allows you to stay in contact with those who know him, even after changing your cellular service provider number, and let him know about your new phone. However, the service has one significant limitation. You can change the operator, but not the region. That is why changing a number remains a pressing issue for those who would like to keep their number when moving to another city.
In most tariff offers of operators, there is a restriction on the use of services in their own and other regions. This is reflected both in the cost of using the number and when making calls, even if according to the terms of the tariff, roaming within the country is free.
Operator services that make it easier to change numbers work quite simply, and their use is not limited to numbers in one region. So, if the old number is tied to the Krasnodar Territory, then this will not prevent you from using the service with the new Moscow number. There is also no operator restriction. You can use a service that allows you to report a new number, both with MTS, Beeline, or MegaFon numbers, and if both numbers belong to the same one.
There are restrictions on the use of the service. Thus, you can use notifications about a new number only if the previous one remains active. Therefore, when changing a number in this situation, it is important to leave it available for use. In order to save money, it can be transferred to a tariff package without mandatory payments.
You shouldn’t worry that money will be charged from your number when using the service, but you should monitor its activity. Depending on the operator, it can not only be blocked in the absence of paid actions, but also “driven into the negative”. So, for example, MTS charges a daily fee of five rubles if the number is not used for more than three months.
You need to activate the service on your new number, however, you will need to confirm the binding of the old one. To do this, you need to dial a special number from him. Once connected, you can configure how the service will work.
Among the use cases is the ability to communicate your new phone number to everyone who calls the old one, choose who to notify, or only receive notifications about calls yourself.
You also need to disable any types of forwarding on your previous number. To do this you need to dial ##21#.
The validity period of the service depends on the operator. The minimum period for MTS is only two months, after which you can use the service again. Three months - the default availability of the service, which allows you to report a new number when changing, on Tele2 and MegaFon. After this, you can also use reconnection. The maximum period is offered by Beeline, where you can automatically report a number change within six months. Additionally, we note that MTS and MegaFon indicate the possibility of reusing the service by number only once.
Description of the “Easy step” option
To inform the desired circle of people about a change of telephone number, it is enough to use the previous SIM card, the number of which should be remembered. This will avoid complications when changing your phone number. The only condition is that the old SIM card must be serviced by the mobile operator (should not be blocked). Activate a service that will allow you to send information about new contact details via SMS or voice message.
Conditions for connecting to the service:
Setting the alert mode
There are two types: continuous (for mass notification) and selective (for transferring information to specific individuals). The mobile operator uses continuous broadcasting by default. Depending on the needs and wishes, the subscriber can independently choose the method that is convenient for him. All this is done without additional payments or commissions.
Selective Alert
To filter the notification of a certain circle of people about a change of telephone number, it is enough to perform a USSD request *270*2# “call”. The method allows you to avoid sending a new number to unwanted contacts from the phone book.
We recommend watching:
Continuous notification
Informs all people in the subscriber's phone book about the number change. This convenient method eliminates the need to personally call each person in your social circle. This notification is activated automatically for all users. You can also make an independent connection via the USSD command *270*1# “call”.
Notification about a number change using
When changing a phone number to a new one, the subscriber is faced with the question of notifying all his friends, relatives and colleagues who are listed in the phone book. Of course, you can call each of them or send corresponding SMS notifications. But it's much easier to use. With its help, you don't have to waste your personal time. All your friends will be informed when you try to make a call to the old number. To appreciate all the benefits of the service, we invite you to get to know it better.
How to report a new number
If a subscriber of any operator has changed his phone number, he can tell everyone about it after connecting and setting up the service. You can report a change of number to MTS using the “My New Number” service, MegaFon - “Your New Number”, Tele2 “New Number”, or “Easy Step” on Beeline.
Please note that setting up the service does not differ between different operators, and standard codes are used that you must dial on your new and old numbers. The only difference is in the service numbers through which the service is connected. This is necessary to obtain a special number to activate call forwarding on your previous phone.
Connecting/disabling the service | ||
Operator | connection | shutdown |
Beeline | 270 old number # | *270*00# |
MTS | 250 old number # | *250*0# |
Megaphone | 270 old number # | *270*3# |
Tele 2 | SMS to number 813 with the text “81 spaces old number” | SMS to number 813 with the text “88” |
You must indicate your old number starting with eight on Beeline and Tele2, and on MTS and MegaFon - starting with the operator code.
After the service is activated on a new number and a special number is received, you can begin setting it up. Let us repeat that the commands for all operators are the same.
First, do not forget to disable all forwarding on the old number, and set it to the service number by dialing 21 service number from SMS#. After this, you can use the service, or set up an alert mode. By default, the new cell number is announced to everyone.
Setting the alert mode | ||||
Beeline | MTS | Megaphone | Tele 2 | |
One-way mode | — | *250*1# | *270*1# | SMS to number 813 with the text “86 space 2” |
Selective mode | *270*2# | *250*2# | *270*2# | — |
Two-way mode | *270*1# | *250*3# | *270*3# | — |
If selective mode is turned on, you can either call yourself or send a response SMS to the call information following the instructions.
Notification methods
The main advantage of the service is that you can notify about a number change in two ways. The first one involves continuous notification. As a result, all subscribers who called the old number will be redirected to the new one. To be more precise, the person calling will first hear the voice of the auto-informer, and then receive an SMS notification with your new number.
The second one allows you to inform only those you select, and is called selective notification. Anyone who tries to call the old SIM card will hear a message that the subscriber is not available. You, in turn, will receive an SMS with the number of the person who called. If you dial the number “2” in the text of the reply SMS, the caller will be notified about your new number.
Thanks to selective notification, the subscriber gets rid of those with whom he does not want to communicate. You can also forget about annoying interlocutors for a long time with.
Connecting and disconnecting
Before you activate the “Easy Step to Beeline” option, you must have both active SIM cards and a mobile phone with you. At the same time, there should be at least some money in the account of the former SIM card, and the new number should not be used for forwarding. If your old card is blocked or lost, then don’t despair. At the Beeline customer service office they will tell you how to reactivate it, or they will give you a duplicate.
Don't rush to throw away your old SIM card. Without it, activation of such a useful option is not possible.
The service automatically ceases to operate after 6 months from the date of activation. If necessary, it can be extended by repeating the procedure.

How does My New Beeline Number work?
Before using the tariff, decide on the settings of the notification system. If all the numbers in the phone book are important to you, then you don’t need to change the parameters. The default is a continuous alert.
If you do not want some individuals to know about your update, then in the settings menu in your personal account, check the “Custom” box. Then you independently indicate who can know about this information and who cannot. The Easy Step to Beeline service is a saving option for those who do not want to make many calls, warning others about a number change.
At the time of calling the old number, the user will receive an answering machine that will inform about the new phone. They will also receive a special message with the necessary data.
How to set up a list of subscribers?
You can notify all contacts about a change of number or create a list of favorite users, filtering out unnecessary interlocutors.
- "Full alert." Informs all users who decide to contact you. When activated, “Easy step to Beeline” is connected by default. If necessary, you can activate the command: *270*1#.

You can also contact your nearest branch for this service. Explain to the employee that you want to change your number to another and provide him with your passport information.
How to notify about a new number on Beeline
Once you log in to the system, you will have the opportunity to independently inform the right person. To do this, you need to activate a specific mode - dial the combination *270*2#. Then selective notification will turn on.
You will receive SMS messages about who called you, and the client, in turn, must send the number “2” in response. This will allow you to notify the other party. If you do not want to disclose new numbers, then ignore the SMS.
The second method involves complete information. You don't have to take any action. The presented option is activated automatically immediately after activating the service. If you plan to switch to this solution after the “Selective notification” option, then dial the command – *270*1#.

Disabling the option
Usually, after all the necessary contacts have slowly but surely transferred to the new SIM card, some users want to disable forwarding. You can deactivate the service using simple manipulations:
Complete deactivation of the service occurs in two stages, on each SIM card. Otherwise, if you do not disable forwarding on the old SIM card, the option will be considered enabled. The answering machine will still inform callers that the subscriber has changed the number; sending SMS messages with new numbers will not stop.
It is possible that the user does not want to disable the function completely, then its operation can be temporarily suspended with the command *270*0# call. At the first need, renewal occurs on the same free basis by dialing the combination *270*1# call.
How to connect to Beeline

Selecting a tariff plan
As soon as a SIM card with courier delivery is ordered, the Beeline operator will call the client and offer assistance in choosing a tariff.
