But if you have time to pick up the phone, the answering machine will give advertising information about it and offer to connect it. It is up to the subscriber to decide whether to connect or not.
The main flurry of calls was recorded in 2021; today calls from the 0550 number are rare.

How to get rid of unnecessary calls and advertising mailings forever

Subscribers of other operators are literally exhausted from them. It’s worth following some link on the Internet - and there’s a subscription on the number that charges from 3 rubles/day or more. You can also run into fraudulent subscriptions online that threaten you with the loss of much larger sums. Even the most advanced subscribers are not protected from them.
By connecting to Tinkoff, you will forever forget about mobile subscriptions (including fraudulent ones) and advertising mailings - they simply are not here. The operator gives all subscribers the first month of communication free of charge - 600 minutes of calls and a gigabyte package.

For several years he worked in mobile phone stores of two large operators. I understand tariffs well and see all the pitfalls. I love gadgets, especially Android ones.
legislation
Is there any basis for such claims, strictly speaking? After all, at some point the user voluntarily performed some action that ensured his place as a victim in the chain (relative to the short number 0550). This is precisely the position that telecom operators adhere to when a subscriber, outraged by the loss of money, begins to search for the truth.
The answer is yes, there is
And this is called the federal law of July 23, 2013 N 229-FZ “On Amendments to the Federal Law “On Communications”.
In it, Article 2 of the Basic Law is supplemented with subclause 34.1, which defines what “content services” are.
The legislator made this definition as general as possible, practically fitting into it everything that is not the actual connection. Those. if the user using the phone and through the telecom operator’s channels receives, quote,
...reference, entertainment and (or) other additionally paid information...", gets the opportunity "... to participate in voting, games, competitions and similar events...,
Then he, the user, receives a content service. And it, in turn, being provided with the participation of third parties, falls under the addition of paragraph 5 of Article 44 of the Federal Law “On Communications”, which prescribes a mechanism for protecting the consumer by:
- firstly, the possibility of creating, at his request, a separate account to pay only for content services;
- secondly, the requirement to obtain explicit consent to receive such services;
- thirdly, about comprehensive information, including prices and names of suppliers, about these services before obtaining consent.
Another addition, established by 229-FZ, to paragraph 5 of Article 54 of the Basic Law, states that services provided in violation of any of the above are not subject to payment. And finally, Article 68 of the main communications law is supplemented by paragraph 8, which directly indicates the operator’s responsibility for the implementation of Article 44 (see above).
Let’s summarize the legislative information, projecting the rights and responsibilities spelled out in it onto the practical side of life.
If the user consciously wants to become a consumer of content services, then you can secure your account for paying for communications by declaring your intention to open a separate content account to cover the costs of mobile subscriptions and SMS from short numbers. If it is exhausted, funds intended for regular conversations and SMS will not be affected.
For telecom operators Beeline and TELE2, this action is automated and is carried out by sending a USSD request, *110*5062# and *160#, respectively. Sets of commands are also provided for replenishment and checking the balance.
Megafon and MTS require a personal appearance at the office and presentation of a passport, and one must understand that regardless of the method of expression of will, the very fact of opening an account confirms voluntary consent to receive content services, and strictly speaking makes it unnecessary to inform about the details (in including price) of the same mobile subscription.
To connect Beeline tariffs
You can manage tariffs by using service numbers. There are no USSD commands for this.
But, using this method, you can now connect to one or another tariff, but previously you had to go to the nearest service center of the Beeline mobile operator.
Also, the necessary combinations include the following:
Rate | Connection |
EVERYTHING 1 | 0850 |
EVERYTHING 2 | 0850 |
EVERYTHING 3 | 0674000333 |
EVERYTHING 4 | 0674000444 |
Absolutely EVERYTHING | 0850 |
Absolutely EVERYTHING | via the website – https://sovsemvse.beeline.ru |
Per second tariff | 0850 |
Tariff "Zero doubts" | 0850 |
Opportunities at zero
If your balance runs out, you can dial 064012 and request general information. Also, the mobile operator Beeline offers additional services.
- A short ussd command *141# will help you use “Trust Payment”. To obtain information about the amount of this payment, you must use the combination *141*7#.
- If there is not enough money in your personal account to make a call, dial the combination *144*subscriber number#. Thanks to this, you will use the “Call Me” service and send a request to the desired number to call you back. To prevent such messages from coming to you, dial *144*0# on your phone. And to return the ability to receive such requests, you will have to use the command *144*1#.
- If you have run out of funds in your account and there is no way to top it up, you can use the request *143*subscriber number#. Thus, the “Top up your account” option will be activated, and the corresponding message will be received by the subscriber you specified.
- To use the “Call at the expense of the interlocutor” service, you must activate it by dialing the numbers 05050, which are indicated before the number of the subscriber you want to call. After typing this command, press the call key.
Phones and USSD requests for service management
Using Beeline USSD commands is the fastest and most convenient way to connect and disable options, change the tariff plan, carry out operations with the balance status, change settings, etc. Thanks to the necessary commands, you can manage your account anywhere and anytime.
