How to switch to another Beeline region. Is it possible to somehow change the home region (city) of a SIM card (mobile phone)

The short answer is “no”. There is no way to change the home region (city) of a SIM card of any mobile operator because... These are purely technical restrictions because each region has its own personal DEF code (the first 3 digits after the country code).

Solutions

Buy another, new, local SIM card in the city of your stay, or add special tariffs to your old SIM card for calls throughout the country, but this is also financially expensive compared to buying a new local SIM card because these special rates often include a subscription fee.

Conspiracy

Using the DEF code, you can easily find out the home region of the SIM card. For the sake of secrecy, so that no one else recognizes the “home region” shaft, many recommend immediately buying a local SIM card in the host city immediately after arrival.

Details

The answer to this question lies in the sequence of digits of the telephone number. The telephone number of Beeline, Megafon, MTS and any other Russian operators consists of 11 digits and this is:

+7 or 8 is the Russian code that is required to make a call;
three-digit DEF code (another name is prefixes) - the first three digits of the number. Examples of DEF codes for the Big Three operators. Beeline: 903, 905, 906, 909, 951, 953, 960, 961, 962, 963, 964, 965. MTS: 910, 911, 912, 913, 914, 915, 916, 917, 918, 919, 980, 981, 982, 983, 985, 987, 988, 989. Megaphone: 920, 921, 922, 923, 924, 925, 926, 927, 928, 929.
The remaining seven digits are your personal number.

DEF codes

Each individual DEF code allocated by Rossvyaz can be assigned to several regions, but the range of numbers is assigned strictly to a specific subject of the Russian Federation; therefore, changing the home region of Megafon, Beeline and MTS phones is impossible for technical reasons.

Using special services, you can quickly and easily find out the region of the Russian Federation to which your mobile phone number is attached; the main parameters of this service are the above prefixes or DEF codes.

Changing the DEF code while maintaining the old personal number

If, when moving to another city, you absolutely do not want to change your long-loved phone number, then you can use the services of special companies that offer you the following solution to this problem. Buy the desired sequence of numbers. For example, you had a number +7 (951) 060-XX-XX (Republic of Tatarstan), but you moved to Moscow. The new number purchased will differ from the old DEF code, for example + 7 (916) 060-XX-XX (Moscow region). Also, the new mobile operator may differ from the operator of the old phone. Typically, such companies offer telephone numbers to choose from based on their database.

Call rates throughout the country

And here is what well-known mobile operators in Russia say and offer about changing your home region.

There are several reasons why you might need to get a new landline or mobile phone number. The main reasons are moving, theft or loss of the phone, damaged services (modules), and a change of operator. Changing your phone number can be quite a hassle, as you will have to inform people you know and update your contact information for various services or legal documents you have. Luckily, there are several methods you can use to keep your old phone number.

Saving a landline number

This service is especially in demand when. It is important that clients and partners of an organization that is moving have the opportunity to contact the old number. When moving home, such a need also sometimes arises. Today, telephone companies allow the transfer of a telephone line from one place to another, but this is not always possible and does not always pay off.

A landline telephone number cannot be transferred if the relocation location is not serviced by that telephone organization. If the location is too far away, then moving the service makes no sense. In other cases, saving the phone number is quite possible. To do this, you need to submit a line transfer application to the telephone company. The transfer takes from several days to several weeks. Be prepared to pay a service fee.

Steps

Keeping your old landline number

Contact your service provider.

Telephone companies allow telephone lines to be moved from one location to another. They can simply move your existing landline to the location you're moving to instead of building a new phone line. However, not all landlines can be migrated for the following reasons:

The area where you want your landline to be moved is not serviced by your telephone company. The phone company may not service the area where you want your landline to be moved.
The place you are moving to is simply too far away. Transferring an existing service to another state would simply be pointless.

Apply for line transfer.
Customer service will inform you if your phone can be transferred. If such an opportunity exists, you can write an application to transfer a landline telephone. Simply indicate the location where you want to transfer your existing service and fill out some paperwork that your phone company may require.
Expect your phone line to be ported.
This may take a few days or weeks, depending on where you want the line to be moved and whether there are free slots on the systems for your service provider to connect.
In addition, a transfer fee and a standard setup fee may be charged by your service provider.

Keeping your old mobile number with your existing operator

Keeping your old mobile number when changing operator

Contact your carrier's customer service and ask for your PAC.
PAC or Porting Authorization Code is a unique alphanumeric code that is used to transfer an existing mobile phone number from one carrier to another. This way, the user can still keep their mobile number even after switching to another service provider.
- Different countries have different laws regarding the issuance of PACs to subscribers. Basically, all you have to do is contact your provider and ask for your porting authorization code. If this is consistent with PAC principles in your country, the service provider should be able to resolve this issue easily.
Contact the customer support team of the new operator whose services you want to use.
Once you receive your PAC, call customer service at the carrier you want to switch to. Once you provide your new operator with your mobile number and PAC, they can immediately begin processing your application.
- Depending on the region, porting authorization codes can only be used after a certain amount of time has passed from the date of issue (ranging from 2 days to a maximum of 30 days).
Please wait until your request is completed.
The new operator will issue you a new SIM card with your old number from the previous operator. You will be able to use it as usual, as you did before, but now using the products and services of the new operator.

If you have a balance or unpaid fees, the operator will not be able to issue a porting authorization code. Pay your bills before switching networks.
If you plan to stay on your existing operator's network, you can change your SIM card and keep your old number, even without paying any outstanding bills.
If your landline cannot be transferred, or the transfer fee will be too high, it is better to go the route of getting a new line.

Changing your phone number is a troublesome matter, because you will have to inform people you know about it, update information on various services and documents, and take a number of other measures. Therefore, it is not surprising that many people want to keep their phone number when moving. However, not everyone knows how to do this.

Saving a mobile number

This service is more popular among private clients who are about to... Let us immediately note that when moving to another region, maintaining a mobile number without roaming is impossible.

According to federal legislation, such a number change is impossible, since each specific region is assigned a number capacity allocated by Rossvyaz (Federal Communications Agency). But you can choose a more favorable tariff from your mobile operator, which will allow you to communicate within the country without serious financial losses.

It is possible to save a number within a region. To do this, call customer support or go to the service center of your mobile operator. But remember that when porting both a landline and cell phone number, you should not have any outstanding balances or unpaid fees.

Effective organization of relocation

Are you planning an office or apartment move? This troublesome process is complicated not only by the need to change the phone number. It is important to collect and transport property. In the process, important documents are often lost, fragile and valuable things are broken, furniture and equipment are damaged. And when an office moves, the work process is suspended and the schedule is disrupted, as a result of which the company loses profit.

To avoid such problems, contact professionals. The GruzVoz company has been organizing apartment and office moves since 2009. During this time, we have transported hundreds of apartments and offices in Moscow and the Moscow region. We provide a full list of works, which includes the following services:

Renting a vehicle and special equipment for loading large property;
Loading and rigging works;
Providing packaging materials and packing;
Transportation of cargo “from door to door”;
Insurance of services and transported cargo;
Assembly and disassembly of furniture;
Installation and dismantling of machinery and equipment.

Home region service from MTS

When we travel outside our home region, we find ourselves in intranet roaming, which significantly increases our mobile communications costs. But recently, most operators provide services that can help you save money when traveling around our country. The red and white operator did not stand aside. Let's take a closer look at what services are included in the concept of Home Region from MTS.

How much does it cost to replace a Beeline SIM card? You can get a duplicate SIM card in the office completely free of charge, but you have to pay extra for delivery. In Moscow and the Moscow region the following prices apply:

Features of Beeline

One of the interesting proposals is from the Beeline company. The essence of this option is that the subscriber, when traveling outside the area of residence, pays for cellular communication services in accordance with the current tariffs. This offer is beneficial to users of the central part of Russia who are often forced to travel outside the connection region. It is worth noting that the service is not included in the basic package of any tariff, but is activated additionally. Accordingly, it makes sense to consider activation methods, talk about how to disable the service, and examine other features of this offer.

Additional options in your home region

In addition to the services at the tariffs valid in their region, the subscriber can connect profitable services that will save on communications. The standard tariff is designed for common life situations:

“Turn on” tariffs are designed for such situations, which provide profitable communication and Internet services in their region. But there are also certain situations that were not taken into account in the tariff plans. Taking these situations into account, you can save on communication services by connecting additional options:

Cellular communications are developing every year. MegaFon follows the latest technological trends, offering its subscribers various services and convenient services.

Option management

It’s worth noting right away that the offer is not free. Maintaining rates for a single cost of calls in the connection region and neighboring areas implies a subscription fee. You can activate the “Home Region” for any tariff, including corporate numbers. To activate, simply select the option that is most convenient for the subscriber.

How to enable the option? The provider offers several methods:

Outgoing call to number 06688.
USSD request *110*241#.
Customer support service 0611.
BEELINE.RU. Here, after authorization in your “Personal Account”, you need to select the tariff management section.
Personal visit to the company's sales office.

Important! Considering that the option is paid, the subscriber’s balance at the time of activation must be positive.

You can disable the “Home Region” on Beeline at any time. By default, the service is unlimited. How to disable the option? Here you can also use any of the acceptable options:

free call 06688;
USSD request *110*240#;
official website of the company or mobile application “My Beeline”;
contact technical support service 0611;
personal visit to the sales office of cellular communication services.

Important! When contacting a cellular communication salon, the subscriber must have a passport with him. In addition, tariff management with the help of specialists will be paid. The standard price for resolving the issue is 45 rubles.

Peculiarities

Connecting the “Home Region” will cost 30 rubles; disconnection is not charged. Subscription fees vary depending on the tariff plan and method of payment for cellular services. It looks like this:

Prepaid rates (individuals) – 1-1.5 rubles per day.
Postpaid tariffs (individuals) – 0-90 rubles per day.
Corporate numbers – 145 rubles per subscriber.

Important! The price range for the subscription fee depends on the region of connection.

It is worth noting that this advantageous offer applies not only to incoming/outgoing calls. The service covers SMS and MMS messages, Internet traffic and other options available on the tariff plan.

Additional features

Many subscribers are interested in the question: “How to change home region?” It is worth noting that no Russian provider currently provides such conditions. The fact is that for each region there is a strict limit of connected numbers, which are controlled by supervisory authorities. Therefore, connecting a SIM card in another area is not possible. In this case, you will have to buy a new package, and you won’t be able to save your number either.

What to do if your SIM card is lost or stolen

One of the obvious reasons why operators are interested in domestic roaming is the difference in tariffs between different regions. In some areas prices are significantly lower than others. In the complete absence of roaming, they will need to equalize tariffs in all areas, or face the problem of mass use of cheaper tariffs by subscribers not in their region.

However, for users, changing the region is not so much an opportunity to save on communications, but rather the convenience of using a familiar phone number that is familiar to many. If a person moves to live in another region for a long time, then he is faced with the question of using the old number.

Today we will tell you how you can change the region of your cell phone number with minimal losses from the Big Four operators.

The short answer is “no”. There is no way to change the home region (city) of a SIM card of any mobile operator because... These are purely technical restrictions because each region has its own personal DEF code (the first 3 digits after the country code).

Here's what you need to do immediately if your SIM card is stolen or lost:

Blocking. The first thing to do is block the number. You can activate the blocking in your “Personal Account” or in the “My Beeline” mobile application. If this is not possible, call the Hotline number - 8-800-700-0611.

Many people are interested in the question of how to duplicate a Beeline SIM card. After reading information on this issue, we came to the conclusion that this is illegal. Why? Firstly, the operator itself does not do this, so it will not be possible to officially make one number for two Beeline SIM cards. Secondly, the so-called cloning or additional SIM card is mainly needed for fraudulent purposes - to connect to a cash account.

Important! You may come across an offer for such a service, but our advice to you is that you should not do this, much less pay money to strangers for it. Even if they make a “clone” for you, it will not work for long, because the operator monitors such actions and blocks 2 cards at once.

Is it possible to change the region of the SIM card?

Regardless of the services of which operator a person uses (MTS, Beeline, MegaFon, Tele2), it may be necessary to change the home region of your phone number to another, but keep your previous phone number on the SIM card. Today we will try to figure out whether it is possible to change the region of the SIM card, and change your home one to another - in MegaFon, MTS, Beeline, Tele2, and any other operator.

Why change region

Cell phones are an integral part of the modern world, and using a familiar phone number allows you to always be in contact with family, friends, and colleagues. Both an MTS or MegaFon subscriber, and a Beeline or Tele2 subscriber may need to transfer a phone number on a SIM card to another region, and everyone has their own reasons why they need to transfer a SIM card to another home city of connection. Let's talk about the main reasons why you may need to change the region without changing the SIM card and number.

For example, a subscriber may need to change the home region of an MTS SIM card if he moves to a new city of residence or for work in another region for a long time, and in such a situation the question arises: is it possible to transfer the number to another region.

For the subscriber in such a situation, the benefit is obvious. Depending on the tariff package used, the user incurs additional payments for using a number outside his city.

So, despite the fact that in another city a person will often call local numbers, he still needs to maintain contact with family and friends. Such calls, if you leave a number in another binding region, will be like long-distance calls.

Do not forget about the difference in the cost of tariffs for any operator. Depending on the city, different prices are available, but similar in content.

The second option is the need to change the region on the SIM card number of MTS, MegaFon, or another operator, which may arise when you frequently call to another region outside your home from your phone number. So, if a MTS or Beeline subscriber has most of his calls going to another city, then there is a need to move his number to another region.

Reasons for replacement

Changing the card does not mean changing the number. When a subscriber’s mobile phone receives a lot of spam or managers of advertising companies constantly call, replacing the numbers along with the SIM card is advisable; otherwise, the person receives the old number. Most users carry out this procedure, saving their numbers, funds on the balance, tariffs and a package of connected options. Possible reasons for replacement:

smartphone stolen or lost;
the puk code was entered more than three times;
cracks, deformation or breakage have appeared;
the device does not see the device inserted into the slot;
the signal is poorly received and it has been established that the reason is not the mobile phone;
outdated map format.

Is it possible to port a number to another region?

If you are wondering whether it is possible to keep your phone number and leave the old SIM card, but at the same time change the region if you move, or simply change the home region on your MegaFon or MTS SIM card, then the answer is - this is impossible.

Transferring your phone number to another region, as well as simply changing the city of connection while saving the number on the SIM card, is not available with MTS, MegaFon, Yota, Beeline, or with other communication providers, and you can only change the number.

Changing the region is not available even in a situation where you decide to change the operator from maintaining a number from MTS to MegaFon, or another, without changing your number. When switching between operators, you can save the number only within your connection region.

What to do if changing the region of the number is impossible?

Since changing the region without changing the number is impossible, subscribers of MTS, Yota, MegaFon, Tele2, and Beeline have a question: what to do if you cannot change your home region on a SIM card when moving?

You cannot transfer your phone number to another region, but you can use it in another city—you can keep your usual number when moving with any operator.

Important! Depending on the tariff used, as well as the home region and the new region of use of the number, an additional payment for the tariff package may apply to Tele2 and Yota subscribers.

Since it is impossible to transfer a SIM card and the number on it from one region to another, but it is important to keep your MTS or Beeline number, as well as another operator, then in order to save money, it is worth changing the tariff you are using. To profitably use communications, choose tariffs in which package minutes are used not only for local, but also long-distance numbers. The Internet in your operator’s network in any region is always available without additional charges.

However, it is worth considering that if you leave your phone number when changing your region of residence, you will have a situation where it will be more expensive for subscribers from the new city to call you, because for them your SIM card number without changing the region will be intercity. In this case, when changing your region, you can keep using your phone number and additionally use a new one.

Please note that on the new number you can choose a favorable tariff, allowing you to make calls at the best price both to your old home region and to the numbers of the new one.

In order not to pay for two numbers at once in such a situation, it is recommended to transfer your old number to a tariff without mandatory payment, and use it only to receive incoming calls, since it is impossible to change the region to a Beeline, MegaFon, or other operator SIM card. And for outgoing calls, use the new number for your region of residence.

But if you don’t want to use two numbers at the same time, you can use a special service from the operator on the new phone number. It allows you to receive notifications on your new SIM card if calls are received to your old number (of any region). You will be able to call back from your number, as well as activate an alert for callers, and they will receive an SMS with your new number automatically.

conclusions

It is not possible to change the connection area of the number and SIM card, and this does not depend on the operator used - Beeline, MTS, or MegaFon. You can even switch between operators with your own number only within one region.

Therefore, if you are thinking about transferring a phone number to another region, then this can only be done when connecting a new number. But you can keep your phone number when moving to another region, and leave the number active both for receiving calls and outgoing calls and the Internet.

An alternative to using two numbers is a free service, which you can use from any operator. It will allow you to know about calls to the previous number, and inform callers about the new number.

SIM card replacement options

You may need to change your Beeline SIM card if your old card was lost or stolen along with your phone.
Also, replacing a SIM card is necessary if it breaks down, becomes damaged, or if it simply stops working. Over time, and especially when frequently moved from device to device, the cards may receive less signal.
You need to exchange a card if you purchased a new phone, and it supports a SIM card format that is different from the one you have. For example, you have a standard SIM card, but you need a microsim or nano-SIM.
Or, let's say you connected a long time ago, and your card does not work on the 4G network. In this case, it also needs to be replaced.
