In the second case, the reason may be a violation of the terms of the contract or a debt on the personal account.

So, you can disable the Beeline SIM card for a certain time or without the right to restore the number. In the second case, the parties terminate the contract and the number is put up for sale.

In particular, a user who refuses the provider’s services will no longer be able to return his contact. The contract will be terminated and the number will go on sale. Therefore, such a step must be carefully considered and weighed.

The second point that needs to be taken into account is that the SIM card is not blocked in all cases of a subscriber’s request. For example, if there is a debt on the number, or the permissible amount of traffic on the “Internet forever” tariff is exceeded, the provider will not cancel the SIM card. To complete this operation, the user must pay off all debts to the provider.

Instructions for blocking

Additional features

If you do not move away from the “Internet forever” tariff, you can suspend the contract and prevent the subscription fee from being charged by blocking access to the network. How to turn off the Internet on a tariff plan? You need to do the following:

• Send USSD request *110*180#.
• Call the number.
• Delete system settings in the device menu.

What is APN in mobile communications

Base stations provide wireless connections to cellular devices.

Note! When a subscriber moves, his mobile device is served by more than just one base station. In automatic mode, the connection can switch to another station without affecting the quality of the connection.

Most phones have a built-in entry point for telecom operators on the SIM card, you just need to install it. Information used by a specific telephone AP to connect to the operator’s network: IP address, ports for processing multimedia messages (MMS), and other data that ensures the operation of the phone.

Fly Tattelecom official website

Thanks to its simple name - “Fly”, it is quite difficult to find the official website of mobile communications. To avoid confusion, here you will see a link to the main page of OJSC Tattelecom.

For home Internet subscribers, the provider does not limit the speed for the internal resources of the Letai operator. The list of media resources includes the following portals:

• artvid.ru is a large media portal;
• tatmvdcamera.ru - Safe Tatarstan" - a project implemented by OJSC Tattelecom together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Tatarstan
• files.letai.ru - free internal file hosting service

These are the main sites with the fastest access speed.

How to prevent applications from accessing the Internet

Sometimes the user does not need to completely disconnect from the network, but it is desirable to limit access in some applications. In this way, for example, you can get rid of unnecessary wastage of traffic in programs and games that require a constant connection to the global network. You can configure this function using standard Android and iOS tools.

On iOS

The restriction on iPhone is enabled as follows:

1. Go to your smartphone settings.
2. Click on the “Cellular” item.
3. Scroll through the Settings list until you list apps under Cellular Data for:.
4. Click on the switch next to the name of the desired program or game.

Fly 4g coverage area Tatarstan

Before connecting to an operator, they usually look at its coverage area in their region. The 4G coverage map in Tatarstan is one of the best among existing mobile service providers. You can verify this by looking at the picture.

The Tattelecom cellular network is a dual-band combined network of 900/1800 MHz. High-speed 4G mobile Internet services are provided in the LTE 1800 band (Band 3).

Method one. Auto.

To quickly and without unnecessary headaches set up the Internet on your smartphone, you can follow these instructions. Find the “Settings” menu on your Android phone. There will be a section called “Wireless Networks”. Select the item “Mobile network”. As often happens, the necessary parameters are already set in the phone, but the user reset them (when changing SIM cards, for example). In the menu section, you can manually return the settings to their place - you need to click “Automatic detection of settings” or “Reset settings”.

In some cases, it is worth activating the “Communication Operators” tab, where from the list (wait a little, it will appear on the screen) select the desired Internet “provider”.

A few simple manipulations - and you can easily set up the Internet on your Android phone without any help! By the way, here you can quickly set up mobile traffic savings.

Tariffs for mobile communications and Internet

Method two. Operator assistance.

But it also happens that you can’t set up the Internet on Android using the first method. You can ask your mobile network operator for help, who will tell you how to set up the connection.

Dial the help number known to the subscriber and explain the problem to the girl on the other end of the line. It happens that the subscriber has not yet learned the SOS phone number. You can look at the SIM card packaging - there you will find the treasured helpline numbers. The subscriber has two options to choose from: call the specified number or send a message to a special short number. After the request reaches the recipient, the operator will send the necessary settings for connecting to the Internet on Android.

The scheme for connecting to the Internet using an operator is simple, but there are pitfalls here too. The following scenario is also possible:

— the necessary settings for accessing the Internet have been sent several times,

— SMS messages are sent to the specified numbers,

- BUT the operator on the other end cannot help and asks you to come to the office in person at the specified time.

It is clear that there is neither time nor desire for the latter - after all, you can connect to the Internet without wasting extra minutes and nerves!

APPLICATIONS

Blockers and encryptors

A family of malicious programs that block or make it difficult to work with the operating system: blocking Internet access, files, and requiring the transfer of money to attackers to restore the computer’s functionality.

Trojan.Winlock – according to Doctor Web classification

Trojan-Ransom – according to the classification of Kaspersky Lab.

Previously, short SMS numbers were usually used to transfer money; nowadays, such programs may also require transferring money to electronic wallets or to the balance of a mobile number.

To unlock your computer, you need to top up your phone balance at any payment terminal. After payment, the unlock code should appear on the payment receipt. Moreover, almost all banners contain a warning that an attempt to deceive the “payment system” will lead to disruption of the computer or destruction of data. Some of them even have a built-in countdown timer, after which the virus promises to destroy all user data. Most often, this is a simple threat to convince the user to give money to the attacker. However, some versions do come with data destruction tools, but these often do not work as expected.

Infection can also occur during the launch of programs masquerading as application installers or self-extracting archives. At the same time, the license agreement stipulates that the user agrees to install an “advertising” application on the computer, which he must view 1000 times, or refuse to view by sending an SMS.

The need to transfer money is often explained by the fact that “You have received temporary free access to an adult site, you need to pay for continued use,” or that “an unlicensed copy of Windows has been found on your computer.”

Ransomware is most often installed on a computer when clicking on pop-up windows, when downloading content of dubious origin (videos, music, games, etc.), when launching unknown files.

SMS senders

Fraudulent applications for mobile phones or smartphones that send SMS messages to short numbers.

Such applications are often distributed under the guise of icq clients, the “latest” or improved versions of Opera Mini and other popular java applications and games - as a rule, the version numbers are greatly inflated.

Since most mobile phones prompt before the Java application sends an SMS message, SMS application makers use various tricks to force the user to press the right key at the right time, without having time to react to the warning on the screen.

Applications for smartphones (for Symbian, Android platforms) can send SMS without any warnings, and also download automatically in the background, as a result of which money is written off for no reason visible to the subscriber.

With the advent of GPRS modems, dialer viruses have gained new popularity among scammers (from the English dialer - “dialer”).

Victims' computers and phones infected with this virus make numerous attempts at unauthorized data transfer (calls) to certain, usually international numbers of scammers (for example, "adult line" numbers), thereby ruining the victim's personal account for thousands and tens of thousands of rubles .

There is no commission for automatic payment, and the money is debited from your bank card. Management takes place in the subscriber’s personal account.

3. Top up your account via USSD request. This may have been introduced in order to remotely replenish a child’s balance. By creating the correct request, you can top up your mobile phone from a distance.

Do I need to configure APN myself?

The AP is pre-adjusted on the phone's SIM card. After its installation, operators automatically send the necessary information to the subscriber. Wi-Fi APN in the phone, what is it - it is an access point through which the user connects to the data service.

Despite such convenient service, there are times when you need to manually configure the APN. The need for this arises when the parameters are lost for some reason or automatic identification fails; also, not all phone models support automatic APN configuration. To do this, you need to know how to access the configuration menu on the device. You can find this out in the user manual for the device or look at the description on the Internet. Depending on the phone model, the names of some items may differ, but the principle is the same everywhere. To log in you will need a username and password, this is used by default. You need to specify the correct settings, and the operator is responsible for all these actions.

How to turn off the Internet via Wi-Fi

Connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot may negatively impact your battery power. Also, transmitting data over unsecured wireless networks compromises the security of your information.

Fast access

As with the mobile network, the shutdown is quick and complete. On Android, swipe down from the top of the screen and find the Wi-Fi icon in the quick access panel. Click on it once.

On iOS smartphones, you can manage Wi-Fi through a special quick access center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen in iOS 11 and below, and swipe down from the top on the right side of the phone screen in iOS 12 and above. Then click on the marked icon.

Phone settings

The complete method to deactivate Wi-Fi involves using the phone settings. On Android you need to do the following:

1. Open your phone settings via the desktop or menu.
2. Go to "Network and Internet".
3. Click on Wi-Fi and turn off this option. The connection to the access point will be disconnected immediately.

To remove the Wi-Fi connection on an iOS device through the main menu, you need to do this:

1. Open "Settings".
2. Go to the Wi-Fi section.
3. Switch the parameter to inactive position.

Method three. Manual.

And what to do if the previous two methods did not work? And there is no Internet access on your Android phone? Another option is to delve into the settings and “drive” them into the phone manually. It will take a little more time, but don’t be afraid to rummage around in the device - everything is simple if you follow the instructions!

To set up a connection on Android in this way, first open the “APN access points” item. Find the “Create a new access point” section in the list. You'll have to get a little creative and come up with a name for your Internet connection. The name can be any word (do not limit yourself to the names of telecom operators). In a particular case, what you call the “ship” will not change its “sailing”.

You must personally dial the access point of a specific mobile operator on the keyboard of your Android smartphone. In this case, it is not necessary to call the consultant again. We offer to help you the necessary data on the access points of the largest cellular operators in Russia.

Megafon: internet BeeLine: internet.beeline.ru MTS: internet.mts.ru Tele2: internet.tele2.ru

After this, you will need to type your username on your smartphone keyboard. In the case of “Megafon” and “Tele2” it is already registered, so here you can safely skip this point and leave the fields blank.

For MTS subscribers, type “mts” in the name line. For those who use it, it’s logical to write “beeline”.

In the case of Megafon and Tele2, you don’t have to invent anything - there are no passwords. And for users “MTS” and “Beeline” in the password line you just need to duplicate the name - “MTS” and “Beeline”, respectively.

It happens that operator codes (indicated as “MNC”) are not specified initially. If nothing is written on the corresponding line, you will have to write the numbers and letters yourself. In one window we write “MCC” - 250 (valid for all operators in Russia), but the MNC values ​​are different. Let's list the codes for the main operators:

01 - MTS 02 - Megafon 20 - Tele2 99 - BeeLine

For the convenience of entering the necessary parameters from telecom operators in Russia, we present to your attention a table indicating the parameters:

Telecom operator name

Access Point (APN)

After filling out the settings, you should check that the checkbox next to mobile data transfer is selected. If attempts to set up the Internet did not work, you should try rebooting your Android smartphone.

For those who need more complete information about the settings of each specific telecom operator, we offer links to the official instructions of the largest telecom operators in Russia:

Here are instructions from the largest mobile operators in Russia. However, it is clear that the list is not limited to four companies. To find out how to set up access to the global network on an Android smartphone from other providers, you need to go to the operator’s official website and copy the information from there.

There can be many text options. For example, “Mom (dad, grandfather), I have problems. Urgently deposit 500 rubles. to the number... I’ll explain everything at home.” In this case, the caller’s number can be anything, and when asked what’s wrong with your voice, a very realistic excuse will be made (your throat hurts, you hit your head, etc.). When calling, attackers try to guess the name of a loved one or acquaintance, find an individual approach in order to force the “divorced person” to transfer money to their account.

About winning

A pleasant voice announces the “winning” of service packages, laptops, home theaters and even cars, for which you need to transfer money to the scammers’ account.

“Operator Technical Support” calls

Calls from “Operator Technical Support” are even more trusted. For example, with a message about a problem with your phone number, an offer to take part in testing a new service, or change the tariff plan to a more profitable one for you (in this case, you will be asked to buy express payment cards and activate them with the help of the same “representative” who kindly called back later Technical support").

Another option is possible - the “auto-informer” calls: “Hello, this is the engineering service of your cellular operator. We are reconfiguring the network. To stay in touch, you need to dial...”, then a pleasant male voice dictates a set of letters, numbers and symbols, after typing which a significant amount will be debited from the victim’s personal account (usually 300 - 600 rubles), since the dictated combination is an execution command mobile transfer of funds to another account. Another option could be to set up call forwarding to an expensive number registered on the territory of some exotic tropical islands in Oceania.

"From the Bank"

Calls “from the bank” are also popular among scammers. Subscribers' mobile phones begin to receive automatic alert calls with notifications about the debt that has accumulated on the card account and the need for its urgent repayment; a telephone number is also indicated by which the “card holder” can clarify the necessary information.

When a Subscriber concerned about the situation calls, the “bank manager” clarifies the passport details and confirms the “facts” previously communicated over the phone, after which he reports that he is transferring information about the incident “to the security service.”

The call rings a few minutes later. The “scammer” who calls back asks whether the passport was lost, and then, to speed up the verification, asks to dictate the full details of cards issued by other banks.

SMS notifications with the text “Your card is blocked, to resolve the issue, contact us by phone +7. "

CHEATING USING SMS

Service scam

Under the guise of “new unique technologies,” they offer either “reading other people’s SMS,” “Subscriber location locators,” or various “miracle programs.” And all this - for a few sent SMS.

The terms of the “service” indicate that it is a “game”, but the description on Internet resources is compiled by scammers in such a way as to mislead and lure money from users interested in “new products”.

SMS requests and calls for help to loved ones

One of the schemes is sending SMS messages asking for help. There can be many text options. For example, “Mom, I have problems. Urgently deposit 500 rubles. to the number... I’ll explain everything at home.” In this case, the sender's number can be anything. When calling, attackers try to guess the name of a loved one or acquaintance, find an individual approach in order to force the “divorced person” to transfer money to their account.

Winnings

Another popular scheme is based on calls (for example, from the most popular radio stations) or SMS notifications of victims about their “winnings” of service packages, laptops, home theaters and even cars, for which you need to either transfer money to the scammers’ bank account /to an “electronic wallet”, or activate several payment cards (do not activate them yourself, but dictate the card numbers to the organizer of the draw!), or call back on such and such a number, go to the website. To replenish your balance, you may even be switched to an “automatic activation system”, where a mechanical voice will ask you to enter the PIN code on your phone.

"Wrong" payments

Another common type of fraud is “erroneous” payments. It is implemented in two versions. In the first case, the fraudster pays some significant amount to your account (there may even be an SMS notification that “through the payment system... at 17:00 a payment in the amount of 800 rubles has been credited to your account”), then a call rings and a polite the boy or girl says that he accidentally deposited money not into his account, but into yours, and persistently asks you to transfer you the same amount in return. After the funds are received, the “erroneous” payment is immediately withdrawn by the fraudster (this is possible in payment systems if there is a receipt). In the second option, the payment is not made, and after the SMS notification of payment, a second SMS from the scammers almost immediately arrives: “Sorry, I made a mistake and put money into your account, transfer it back to me, please!”
