Anti-AON service. How to hide your number on MegaFon

Every time you make calls to mobile numbers of users of any cellular operators, your number becomes visible to the person you are calling and remains in the records of incoming calls. Don't want your number to be identified? The mobile operator Megafon provides this opportunity to its subscribers with the Anti Caller ID service (AON is an abbreviation for Automatic Number Identifier).

What type of service is there, to whom it is available, in what cases it will work and how to manage it, read our review.

Types of service

MegaFon offers its subscribers to use two types of services:

1. One-time Anti-AON – when you dial a number specifically, you hide your number one-time.
2. AntiAON – when activating a permanent service, you will always hide your number.

In the case of a constantly active service, there is an additional opportunity to make your number visible one-time using a special dial for an outgoing call.

Important! For outgoing calls, the cost of tariffication according to the main tariff is summed up with the payment for using “One-time Anti-AON”.

Detailed instructions for hiding your number

Some phone models may not support the ability to hide a number from the other person. You can check whether the anti-identifier can be used in the “Calls” menu of the mobile device settings. To do this, you need to find the “Show/Hide number” item. After enabling the option, you need to change the value of this parameter to “Hide number” and check the operation of the anti-identifier.

Service restrictions

Material on the topic: How to connect or disconnect “Super Caller ID” on MegaFon?

But not only when making calls to other operators, it is possible to find out hidden information incognito. Megafon users can also bypass the number identification ban by activating a special operator service - Super Caller ID. With it, the subscriber will not be disturbed by any “spy”.

What is the price?

What is the cost of activation and use of the service? The service is paid, but the connection itself costs nothing. For one-time use, the call is charged using a code that hides the number. When connecting on an ongoing basis, a daily subscription fee is charged.

Attention! When changing the tariff plan, the service is not disabled.

The cost of the service depends on the region where the SIM card was purchased:

• One-time use can cost from 5 to 7 rubles per call.
• Constant use from 3 to 5 rubles per day.

The cost of the service in your region can be found out on the operator’s website at https://megafon.ru/services/communicate/number_anti_determinant/number_anti_determinant.html, if you select the region you are interested in in the top right menu.

How to connect and disconnect

Since the types of services are different, the service is used in two ways.

1. One-time Anti-AON is activated by dialing a special combination when making an outgoing call. No other connections are required for this feature. A call with one-time number hiding is made by special dialing: #31#ХХХХХХХХХХХ (where ХХХХХХХХХХХ is the number of the called subscriber in 11-digit format, including 8), then sending the call with the dial button.
2. Permanent AntiAON is connected using the USSD command *221# sent from your device or in your Personal Account. The service can also be disabled using the USSD *221# command and through your web account. Additionally, you can manage the service (turn it on or off) in the mobile application or with the help of the operator’s consultants.

An additional option with which you can show your number to the recipient of the call one-time is triggered when dialing the called subscriber according to the scheme: #31#ХХХХХХХХХХХ (where ХХХХХХХХХХ is the number of the called subscriber in 11-digit format, including 8), then sending a call with the dial button.

What is needed to make a hidden number on MegaFon

First of all, you need to familiarize yourself with the features of the service. It is called anti-number identification (abbr. AntiAON). Both private and corporate clients can use it either one-time or for a long time. The ability to hide a number on MegaFon during an outgoing call is provided when the subscriber's phone is turned on and he is within the coverage area of ​​the operator's network.

However, there are conditions under which a mobile phone cannot be hidden:

• The person to whom the call is being made has the SuperAON service activated, designed to identify anonymous numbers;
• The subscriber makes a call at the expense of a friend, has activated “Voice for pumping”, uses “Additional city number;
• The client sends SMS, MMS.

MegaFon also does not guarantee that AntiAON will work correctly when traveling around the world. But the correct operation of the anti-identifier is ensured when both the calling and receiving subscribers are served by MegaFon and are in their home region. Please note that even with Anti-AON activated, you can allow some people (for example, family, friends) to identify the number for free.

If a citizen who has a hidden number decides to change the tariff, the service will continue to work. You have to turn it off separately. If MegaFon has imposed a financial block on you, and AntiAON is activated for one time, when making calls to free services, money may be charged for the request.

One-time “AntiAON”

MegaFon offers its customers not only the use of AntiAON on an ongoing basis. You can also subscribe to the service to make a one-time call. The phone number itself will be hidden after using the service. The cost, of course, of such a function is higher than using a standard anti-identifier and amounts to 7 rubles per call.

Description of the “Super Caller ID” option from Megafon

Those subscribers who have received calls from unknown phones know that this quality of communication does not always bring positive emotions: unwanted advertising, intrusive calls from banks, people with bad intentions .

It is especially unpleasant when anonymous people call at a late time or at moments when attention requires concentration on something else, and not on who it might be. This will be avoided by activating a useful function on Megafon - Super Caller ID, which, even with encryption, will identify the calling subscriber and indicate to you his number .

How to identify a hidden number

The caller's phone number, hidden using an anti-identifier, can be seen on the screen of the phone receiving the call in the following cases:

• When the “SuperAON” option is connected;
• When receiving text and graphic messages;
• If the call is made to a landline phone;
• In case of a call to a client of another mobile operator.

It is also not always possible to hide a number if one of the interlocutors is in the roaming coverage area. Please note that the number is hidden from the interlocutor only if he receives a call from a SIM card with the anti-identifier enabled. He himself can call such a subscriber through his address book without any restrictions.

If you want to reveal yourself only to a specific interlocutor, then before dialing his number you should dial the combination *31#. It is not necessary to completely disable the action of the anti-determinant.

Cost of super identifier from Megafon

The super option corresponds not only to its conditions, but also to its price. For a month of using the service you need to pay 1,500 rubles. But since payment is charged daily, it is not necessary to pay the entire amount. That is, the cost of the service will depend on the validity period of the caller ID on your device.

Connecting and disconnecting Super Caller ID is completely free for the user.

Features of Super Caller ID from Megafon

When you call with Caller ID turned on, you will see the caller's number.
When activating this service, you need to know that it has a number of features:

1. The identifier has the ability to be connected by a Megafon subscriber, both in the home region and throughout the country, which can also be a positive thing. Moreover, even when traveling abroad, this option can be enabled on the device.
2. Permanent invisibles can be entered into the phone book, only instead of the standard set of numbers, you need to enter a combination with bars (the same way as is displayed when Super Caller ID is working). After this, calls from this phone will be identified.
3. Super ID cannot work while the SIM card is blocked due to insufficient account balance.
4. There is no monthly fee for use if there are insufficient funds in the account , and accordingly the service is suspended on the phone.

Among certain devices there are brands that do not support the service: Siemens CX1 and ST60, Samsung E350, E370, E380, E390, E480, E630, E700, E730, E760, E820, B600, SGH-C230, D500, D600, D800, D820 , D900, X70. A more detailed list can be found on the operator’s website.

Modern gadgets are not included in this list, so their owners can freely use the identifier from Megafon.

Connecting Super Caller ID from Megfon operator

Most Megafon services can be connected using several methods :

• Call the operator's hotline at 0500 . Call center specialists will help any subscriber with connecting the necessary options. But this will require the identification data of the phone owner.
• Contact a service center in any city in Russia with this question . As in the case of the hotline, the center’s employees are required to carry out mandatory identification, and for this the subscriber’s documents will be needed, so before the visit you should check for a passport.
• One of the remote methods is to connect through the Megafon user’s personal account. To do this, go to the company’s website and complete a short registration in the service. In addition to the identifier, in your Personal Account you can enable or disable other Megafon options, as well as carry out any other actions on your phone.
• There is a special command assigned to the Super Caller ID service in the Megafon system , with which you could connect it to the device - *502#. In order for the operator to execute the command, you need to press the call button at the end.
• You can also send a regular message to number 5502 . Write YES in the body of the letter. There is no charge for sending a message to this number.

Whatever method is chosen, after activating the service, a notification about the service connection status will be sent to the subscriber’s phone. The monthly fee is charged from the day the Super Caller ID is connected to the number.

If “One-time AntiAON” helped to hide the number during an outgoing call, then it helps the subscriber with an incoming call to declassify the number.

In addition, one of the advantages is that after a call with a secret number, the subscriber who connected will see that his interlocutor tried to hide his number. Since the caller's number will be displayed with hash marks (#) on both sides.

If we also talk about the advantages of the function, it should be noted that it makes it possible to save the number that is trying to call, hiding your number. Adding a number to your phone contacts should be done a little differently than with a standard entry. And all because the number must be written with hash marks (#) on both sides.

Connection is free, and the cost per month is 1,500 rubles.

If the subscriber’s number is blocked due to a long-term lack of funds in the account, the service is disabled and no fee is charged until the mobile account is topped up.

In most cases, the function also works in international roaming.

Connecting and disconnecting “Super AntiAON”

Connection can be made in several ways:

• Using a short command: *502#.
• By sending an empty message to number 5502.
• Using your personal account on the Internet. There you need to find the “Services” section, and then select the desired option.
• Through the Megafon application.

• When typing a message with the text OFF or off and sending it to number 5502.
• In the “Services” section in your personal account.
• Through the Megafon application.
