The name of the call barring service speaks for itself, but this is a really useful option that not everyone knows about. It allows you to prohibit calls of incoming or outgoing types, for example, international format or others, which will help to avoid unwanted communication costs.
If you need to receive such calls again, you just need to familiarize yourself with the information on how to disable call barring on Megafon.
"Caller ID" and "Super Caller ID"
These options make it possible to always see the number of the person calling. It happens that some people wish to remain invisible. This means that they use a telephone number anti-identifier (CID) feature. Caller ID Beeline also hides the phone numbers: a message is visible on the screen indicating that the phone number is hidden. It is impossible to return a call to it.
Attention! Not all people want to be called from an unknown phone. The super detection feature allows you to always see your previously hidden phone. Moreover, it will be visible even if the anti-determinant is active.
Caller ID and Super Caller ID can be used by all types of subscribers – both individuals and corporates. It can be activated in the home region (the administrative unit where the SIM card was purchased and activated). In networks of other operators (when the number was transferred due to porting), the super definition may not work entirely correctly. The same applies to international roaming.
How else can you identify hidden subscribers?
Not only with the help of super-determination you can find out who called. Each cellular subscriber has access to call details. The detailed list contains detailed information about all calls. The service is free. It has some drawback: you can only see received incoming messages. Missed or missed calls will not be visible.
Having visited the Beeline company website, you need to visit your personal account and select a detail order in the financial information submenu. In a few minutes, the system automatically generates a detailed list that can be saved on a PC.
For your information! By visiting a company branch with a passport, you can also see a list of “invisible” phones. The employee generates a report and prints it.
Description of the “Call Barring” service from Megafon?
Call barring can concern one aspect or immediately bar all calls without exception. For example, if you leave your phone for someone else to use, you can set a ban so that they can only call from their SIM card and not receive your calls. When you return and pick up your mobile phone, simply disable this ban and that’s it.
Prohibitions can be of the following types::
- any outgoing communication;
- outgoing calls while abroad (you can only make calls in Russia and your host country);
- any international calls (or from a specific country);
- all incoming;
- incoming, which belong to foreign GSM networks;
- any calls other than emergency services;
- everything is fax type;
- all by voice communication type;
- everything except fax and voice.
The call barring service is not compatible with call forwarding. They are mutually exclusive.
What is the price?
Prices for hiding your mobile phone are calculated based on the current tariff. Here are the current 2021 prices for connection and use:
- If the package is without monthly payment - 17 rubles/day (relevant for the “Super”, “Red Energy”, “Your Country” and archived plans);
- Tariffs “MAXI”, “ULTRA”, “iPad”; corporate "TP", "Connect" - 34 rubles/day.
How to remove call barring on Megafon
Cancellation of the ban is possible only if you have a password. There is a specific command structure to disable the option. For all types of calls # barring option code * own password # , as well as for certain types of calls # barring option code * own password * call type # .

Removing call barring on a megaphone in the phone settings
Some phones have their own built-in blacklist. This is the same as call barring. To deactivate it and again be able to contact some numbers, go to the call log and hold down the number, where the “Add to blacklist” menu will appear, unchecking this item will make the number accessible again.

If it is activated, you will receive its name and type, and then you will be able to manage it in your personal account or using the commands presented in this material.
It was not by chance that Antiaon included Megafon in its list of proposals. Since there are moments in the lives of each of us when it is necessary to keep our identity secret, the operator decided that it was not worth denying his clients such a whim. Details about this service, as well as the possibility of connecting it to your phone, can be found by reading the article to the end.
Hiding a number through phone settings
It is not always possible to pay for the operator’s services, but you still need to talk incognito. Some modern telephone devices support the technical ability to hide the CTN for outgoing calls.
Unfortunately, not all devices have this function.
This is easy to check. You need to go to your phone settings and find the network menu. This section should include the item “Hide number”. In different devices it may be called differently, but the essence is the same. If there is no item in the settings menu with this name, this means that the phone does not support this option.
When you enable this mode, you need to check the correct operation. To do this, call your friends or family first. If the detector does not work, it means that the device hides the CTN correctly. Otherwise, you need to connect “AntiAON”.
What is “AntiAON” from Megafon?
“AntiAON” is a service of the mobile operator Megafon, which allows the user to make calls incognito, that is, it is a classic anti-identifier on the phone.
All mobile operators in Russia have basic services in their arsenal, which are included in all tariff packages and do not require activation. But if the user wishes, less popular functions can be activated on the phone.
Why does hiding a number on MTS not work?
provided by MTS may not work in the following situations:
- when connecting another one on the number of the subscriber to whom the call is made;
- for calls made to landline numbers with caller ID;
- when connecting to subscribers of other mobile operators;
- if the subscriber who has activated the number hiding service is in roaming.
If for some reason an MTS subscriber needs to make an anonymous call, then one of “AntiAON on request” can help him with this. But in order not to get into an unpleasant situation, you need to familiarize yourself with the restrictions that exist when connecting call anonymity.
Description, types and cost
The main function that the service performs on users’ smartphones is to block the display of information about the caller on the interlocutor’s screen - instead of a combination of numbers and the caller’s name, “Hidden number” or “Unknown caller” will be displayed.
Blocking caller identification is very beneficial in that, having made a call, the user can be sure that he will not receive unwanted feedback, since blocking the caller ID will not reveal his information.
Another important nuance should be considered that AntiAON is active only when making voice calls; it will not be possible to send a text message from a hidden phone.
The operator divided the service into two types, based on user needs:
- One-time service.
- Standard service.
We recommend viewing:
The second type is connected by those users who plan to make hidden calls constantly, and install the service one-time - if the situation in which the ban is necessary is isolated, and in the future the subscriber’s information can be available on subsequent calls.
The cost of the service directly depends on the type chosen:
| AntiAON | One-time AntiAON | |
| One-time connection fee | 10.00 rub. | for free |
| Service cost | 5.00 rub./day | RUR 7.00/request |
Connecting AntiAON to the client’s phone does not affect the cost of outgoing calls - standard tariffs apply for the mobile communications package registered to the user.
IMPORTANT! The pricing information presented in the article is relevant in Moscow and its region. Detailed information regarding the service in other regions can be found on the company’s official website on the Internet.
How to disable “AntiAON on request” MTS
Don't need auto-hide? Unplug within 5 minutes. Choose any convenient method. The company offers to cancel the service in the following ways:
- dial the combination *111*84# on the keyboard. Press the call button;
- open the operator’s website. In your personal account, find the option and disable it.
This function is an excellent opportunity to protect personal data; it is valid only online. When calling to other networks, the numbers will be visible, even if the option is enabled.
The company cares about every client. It provides a profitable opportunity not to spend extra money - the price is loyal and will appeal to even thrifty customers. At the same time, discounts, bonuses and additional features will be available.
How to connect “AntiAON” and one-time “AntiAON” on Megafon?
Unlike the basic identifier, the definition prohibition service is not included in the default tariff, but is included in the list of those available for use. Therefore, in order to use it, you must activate it.
ATTENTION ! Before activating, you need to make sure that it is in the active list, since its active status will not make it possible to activate AntiAON for the subscriber in the device.
As with many services, Megafon provides several options for activating AntiAON for a subscriber :
- Call Megafon support service at 0500 with a request for activation.
- For owners of the Personal Account, enabling the anti-caller ID is even easier - you just need to make changes in the “Options and Services” section. Here you can perform any other actions with your tariff package if you do not want to waste valuable time waiting for a connection with a hotline operator.
- By sending SMS of arbitrary content or without it to 000105501.
- By executing the USSD command *105*501# with a call button at the end, the service will be connected automatically.
Megafon's corporate clients can connect to this service directly at the service office. Ordinary clients can also turn there if none of the above methods suits them.
If there is no need for constant masking and you need to hide the number for only one call, then it is better to install the service for 1 time. To do this, you first need to disable the number transfer function in your device and perform the following USSD request: *31*user phone number to which you want to make a call# .
After pressing the call button, the device will automatically begin connecting with the subscriber specified in the request. After the call is completed, the settings must be returned to their original position, otherwise a ban fee will be charged for each call, which will lead to unnecessary expenses for mobile communications.
“Anti Caller ID on request” from MTS: details

Accordingly, if you want to make a hidden call, you should dial the subscriber’s numbers in the following form: *31#+7ХХХХХХХХХ . When entering numbers normally, the interlocutor will see your number.
