The “Always in the Plus” option from the Beeline provider allows subscribers to make calls, send SMS messages and access the Internet even with a negative phone balance. Each user can set a minus threshold for themselves, and then pay off the debt if the conditions and restrictions of the option are met.
Description
Thanks to the service, the subscriber can use the service even if there is no money in the account.
The service is available for tariffs operating on a prepayment system. The subscriber selects a limit from 200 to 750 rubles. and continues to use the number in the same way as with a positive balance. A number is blocked due to insufficient funds after 30 days from the moment of activation of the “Trust Payment” or when the limit is exceeded by a minus. After replenishing the account to a positive balance, the number is automatically unblocked.
The conditions also apply in roaming.
The list of operator offers contains similar services that have their own operating nuances. Their simultaneous activation for one phone is not supported.
First you need to select a suitable negative amount threshold and enter the appropriate USSD command. You can ask a consultant for help or use your “Personal Account”.
Next, the subscriber tops up the balance in the amount of the approved limit (in the form of a guarantee payment), uses the service for 3 months and receives the money back. The service allows you to change the size of the negative threshold in a given period (on the 4th month, the change will require reconnecting the option).
The subscriber selects the amount by which he can go into the red on his own.
What opportunities does it provide?
After connection, services are available to the subscriber under the usual conditions:
- calls (at the established tariff);
- SMS (at the same cost for 1 message);
- Internet (the volume of gigabytes is given based on the terms of the tariff; with an unlimited connection it remains the same);
- Beeline services.
The conditions apply to communication with numbers of third-party operators, within the home network and roaming.
The tariff schedule is maintained and corresponds to the current agreement, i.e. The user's phone is not blocked, payment is deferred for a month.
Old service names
The operator regularly reviews the list of additional options and updates their names to attract the attention of the audience. The conditions for access and payment for functions are also changing.
For example, the previous names and nuances of the service are as follows:
- "Living Zero" Connected automatically to all tariff numbers using a prepayment system. Users had a problem with how to disable the service. The limits were constantly increasing without requests from the subscriber.
- "Trust Payment" or "Promised Payment". It was available on prepaid and postpaid plans. The options for the amounts offered depended on the duration of the contract with Beeline (the longer a person was served by the operator, the larger the limit was approved). An assistant with a similar name - “Auto-trust payment” - acted in the form of a microloan with a daily payment of 0.5 rubles. for the first day and 0.75 rubles. - for subsequent days of negative account.
- from Beeline. It was similar to the “Always Connected” option, but available on tariffs with all types of payment.
The name change is also due to the abolition of the rules of the previous options: previously it was necessary to be a subscriber of the Beeline network for the last 3 months and spend at least 200 rubles per month on the tariff. on average for a given period.
What is the option called now?

– details
The reason you miss calls is not always due to your own reluctance to receive them. Low battery charge, lack of a good signal, as well as other minor troubles may well deprive you of access to communication. This is especially important for business people and those who never want to drop out of their social life!
Now you can always know that you received a call at a time when there was either no connection or your phone simply turned off. You can also set up an answering machine so that voice messages can be sent to you. In this case, you certainly won’t miss anything important or interesting.
You can also record data about calls that were missed. All information in a compact form is redirected to you in the form of a message, which includes the following data:
- Telephone numbers of subscribers who called you;
- Exact times and dates of all calls;
- Telephone number for answering machine access.
Cost of use and connection
There are no connection fees or daily or monthly payments for using the service. The option applies to all regions of Russia under the same conditions.
The operator writes off the guarantee payment operating under the collateral system: an amount equal to the limit is spent temporarily and returned to the phone number’s account after 3 months. Funds will be returned if you terminate the service early.
There is no fee for connecting to the service.
The principle of operation of the built-in answering machine
By activating this service, you are given not only access to information regarding missed calls, but also activation of a regular answering machine. Its task is to inform the user via SMS about missed calls. Subscribers who call have the opportunity to leave a short voice message, the maximum duration of which is 40 seconds. One subscriber can leave 30 such messages.
The built-in answering machine will be activated when the person being called is unable to accept the call. If after 30 seconds of waiting he does not pick up the phone, the mobile network will automatically transfer the call to an answering machine. After turning on the answering machine, the subscriber has the opportunity to leave a short voice message.
The cost of recording such a message for an incoming subscriber is the same as for a telephone call. The subscription fee is charged based on the conditions of the connected tariff plan of the subscriber who makes the call. The received voice message can be stored in the option’s memory for no more than a day. After 24 hours, messages will be deleted automatically.
Operator restrictions
Individuals connected to the Beeline network using a prepaid payment system can use the limit. The service is not available for corporate communications and numbers operating on a postpaid system.
The operator pays attention to the period of validity of the contract and the activity of the SIM card, as well as statistics on replenishment of the balance. New subscribers are approved for minimum amounts to avoid possible delays and non-payments. The system determines the available threshold automatically and can provide smaller funds different from the human request. In the future, the limit can be increased by the appropriate command or in the user’s “Personal Account”.
If the subscriber is connected to the “Autopayment” or “Auto-Trust Payment” option, the service cannot be activated.
Beeline stay in the know
Description of the service.
So, what can a subscriber be aware of thanks to this option? In fact, this is an analogue of the usual answering machine.
Cost and connect/disconnect Stay up to date with Beeline
Let’s say the subscriber did not answer the call (and it doesn’t matter for what reasons), either he was simply unavailable, or did not pick up the phone. This service will help you to be aware of who called.
Moreover, the caller has the opportunity to leave a voice message. And the client using the mentioned service will be able to listen to it using a short number provided by the operator via SMS.
If the caller does not want to leave a message, then the participant in the “Be informed +” campaign will receive an SMS containing information that the call was missed.
Stay in touch
Connection
Before requesting, you need to select an amount and deposit money into your phone balance. The service is activated provided there are sufficient funds in the account to pay the “Guarantee Payment”.
Activation occurs via USSD combination for the limit:
- 200 rub. — *110*0121#;
- 300 rub. — *110*0122#;
- 450 rub. — *110*0123#;
- 750 rub. — *110*0124#.
After dialing the combination, you need to press the call button and wait for a response SMS with a text about the result of the operation. You can seek help from a consultant at a Beeline communication salon or call the support line. To find out how to connect, they will tell you on lines 0611.
You can also become a user of the option yourself in your “Personal Account” on the official website (beeline.ru) or in the “My Beeline” application.
The user can activate the service independently in his personal account.
To do this, you need to register or log into the created account, into the “Services” section and find the option by name. The minus amount is set with the slider and confirmed with the “Connect” button. Above it is information about the amount of the mandatory guarantee payment and a link to explanations.
How much should you pay for this?
Due to the fact that this service is provided by a guarantee payment, Beeline does not debit any money from the user’s account for use or connection. The only debit is related to the reservation of the selected amount immediately after activating the service.
Important information! Beeline subscribers can remain in service with a negative balance by activating “Always Connected” only if they do not have “Auto-Trust Payment” or “Trust Payment” active. Otherwise, when you try to select a guarantee payment, the operator will refuse.
If the system refuses you or other connection problems arise, please contact service offices or a 24-hour help center at 0611 to resolve them.
How to disable the option
Disabling is carried out using a separate combination *110*0120#. After entering, you must press the call button. The option can not be turned off, because it does not require payment, and subject to a positive balance, the guarantee payment is returned in full.
The service allows you to stay in touch with family and friends for a month after a minus appears on your account. It is worth thinking about connecting in advance, making a guarantee payment and paying the tariff later, without accruing additional interest.
Monetization of the service Be aware plus Beeline
The service is, in essence, useful, but the question is: how much will this convenience cost the subscriber? This is especially important to know for those to whom the service was connected automatically.
Beeline
So, what is announced as free turns out to be paid.
Price.
In accordance with the terms of your tariff plan:
- — the caller pays for the left message as an outgoing call;
- — listening to the message left, the previously unavailable subscriber pays as for an incoming on-net call;
- — there is no monthly fee only for certain tariff lines and for postpaid subscribers.
The rest will have to pay a certain amount depending on the payment system and region.
As a result, the only “free” part of the service is the connection.
