Changing phone numbers in Moscow. Full list

When should you keep your SIM card?

The main reasons why you should keep your SIM card:

• the digital combination has become familiar over a long period of use;
• the number is working, that is, it is attached to a specific organization;
• customers find subscribers by numbers;
• I don’t want to call all my friends and colleagues with the news of the change.

Based on the reasons listed above, it is clear that users want to keep the number for themselves for good reasons. At the same time, you also need to find out about the tariffs provided by mobile operators and the transfer methods.

Some of them provide the opportunity to change your number remotely for a small fee, so you don’t even need to visit the operator’s office. However, this opportunity is not available to all users, so in order to do this, the client will need to go to the office of his operator with a passport and phone number.

How to change your phone number on Beeline

To change your phone number while being a Beeline client, you will need to take advantage of the opportunities. On the official website of the company, the user can find out more information about this service. In short, any registered client who has been connected for a month can replace the phone from their personal account or the official website of the application. Mandatory conditions are:

• No debts on the account;
• Availability of an old SIM card from which you will be replacing;
• Having access to a phone so you can receive an SMS with a code to carry out the operation.

Where to choose

You can select a new number on the company’s official website or while working in your personal account. If you use the official application from Beeline, you can select numbers directly from there. There will be several tabs. The simplest numbers are classified as “Ordinary”, followed by bronze, then silver, and then gold, the most expensive.

Change instructions

Via operator:

• Call the hotline;
• Wait for the operator to respond and ask him to help you.

Through your personal account:

• In your personal account, look for the “Services” menu.
• We find there the “Number to choose” we need.
• Select the category you need.
• We look through and click on the numbers that we liked the most.
• We confirm the choice and wait for the notification.

Service cost

The cost of the service depends on which category you choose. At the moment, Beeline provides its customers with the opportunity to choose one of four categories, which differ in ease of combination and cost:

1. "Golden". The most simple and easy to remember, consisting of a country code, operator and four identical and three different digits. Price: 15,000 rubles. Example.
2. "Silver". Combinations that are well remembered due to their thoughtful sound. The combinations may be different, but they are easy to remember when pronounced. Price: 5000 rubles. Example: +7967 240 70 30.
3. "Bronze". The last four digits are easy to remember. Often these are combinations of two pairs of numbers and a random three-digit number. Price: 1000 rubles. Example.
4. Regular. Random combinations used by many users. The numbers are collected in random order. Price: 30 rubles.

Features of the change

People who have a wide circle of acquaintances and friends are reluctant to part with their phone number, since they have to notify everyone again. If previously, when switching to another cellular operator, changing the number was not even discussed, now it is not necessary. But there are always reasons that prompt customers to change their phone number.

The procedure is not easy to carry out on your own; you will have to contact cellular managers. Thus, the subscriber gets rid of calls that can be classified as spam or completely changes their social circle. It is unrealistic to change a SIM card without going to communication shops, but only via the Internet.

For some clients, having a beautiful combination means showing their status and prestige in society. People specifically buy unusual, easy-to-remember numbers because it helps in business development

Using an old SIM card

Users are accustomed to the fact that almost all issues are resolved using the Internet. But now there is no way to change your MTS number online. According to official data from the website, there are several ways, but they all involve personal contact. You can change your SIM card after calling the hotline, where you can leave a request. You can choose from either a regular set of numbers or an individual one. The Personal Account does not provide the opportunity to change the number to a more prestigious one.

When changing, the client is given a choice of services. For 70 rubles a person receives a standard set of numbers, and for 750 rubles an individual set or, as they call it, “beautiful”. To be fair, it is worth noting that within this amount the numbers will differ from the usual ones, but still, owners of the combinations 915-111-11-11 (for example), pay much more for them.

In order for the SIM card to remain the same, you need to come to the nearest mobile phone store. The manager will offer available free SIM cards to choose from

New SIM card

There is another option to change the number on MTS, but without saving the old SIM card. Then a person has more options when choosing a new number. The easiest way is to purchase a new SIM card. At the moment, many companies offer the purchase of SIM cards via the Internet. Before transferring money to such organizations, you should think about what is more profitable. For example, change a few numbers or buy an individual number.

Turning to intermediaries is always a risk

Therefore, before changing your number, you need to know a little about the company's rating. Taking into account only the cost of a shift is not entirely the right decision. The right thing to do is to find reviews from people on the Internet; if the company is doing well, then the reviews will be positive. There are several criteria that help determine what kind of company sells a SIM card. You need to pay attention to:

• official status of the organization, whether it is an MTS dealer;
• the company must have its own website, which consists not just of one page, but an expanded one;
• presence of an office is required;
• must have its own contact center.

If an organization has been engaged in this type of service for a long time, then it can offer the use of a designer. This procedure takes place online. The client reconstructs his mobile phone on his own, and the system tells whether someone is using it or not. In most cases, it is enough to change one of the numbers.

When the number changes without saving the SIM card, the tariff plan automatically changes. Clients can choose what will be most profitable for them and what tariffs. One of the additional bonuses is free replacement. But this only applies if VIP tariffs are activated. The replacement price is already included in them.

Replacing a number in MTS

Despite the fact that the MTS company is very active not only in Russia, but also in other CIS countries, changing their number by their clients is a rather long process that cannot be carried out remotely. At the moment when Megafon or Beeline invites clients to choose numbers on their own, dividing them into different categories, MTS allows a similar procedure to be carried out only with a passport presented in the office. The user will not be able to select another phone number independently.

Where to choose

As mentioned above, MTS does not allow the client to pay a higher price for the opportunity to independently choose numbers that will be memorable or convenient. Maybe later the operator will allow customers to determine their future number, but for now this opportunity is limited.

Change instructions

• We take identification documents (passport, driver's license) and go to representatives of the MTS company in their office.
• Please submit an application for change.
• We pay off any debts.
• Select a tariff plan.
• We top up the account with the expectation of payment, the cost of which is 3.36 rubles.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to choose a number on your own, but if you are tired of spam or constant calls, you can get rid of a lot of annoying promoters for a meager price.

Connecting to the service in Tele2

At Tele2, both the operating principle and the setup of the “New Number” service are fundamentally different from the big three, and you can connect up to three old numbers. Interaction occurs via text messages when sent to the short number 813.

The period for providing information is 90 days with the possibility of extension. After the expiration of the period, you can extend it for 30 days. To do this, you need to send a message to number 813 with the text 93.

Additional features are offered by the “Pseudonym” service from Tele2, available to business clients. The subscriber will be sent a message not only indicating the old and new numbers, but also the nickname you specified. It can be any combination - just your first name or first and last name. The cost of installing or changing a nickname is ten rubles.

How to change your phone number on Tele2

Tele2 is a fairly large operator that provides its customers with a lot of pleasant bonuses and discounts, especially if they have been using the company’s services in various areas for a long time, for example, television or home Internet. Of course, the shift service is also available for Tele2 customers. In addition, the company gives you the opportunity to choose what they call “beautiful”, which is easy to remember, but at an additional cost.

Where to choose

You can choose a new one when you contact specialists at the company’s office. The user will not be able to do this remotely, but on-site specialists will provide you with a choice of several combinations. There is sorting by category, which allows the client to choose his new number not by chance, but by receiving the desired combination of numbers.

Change instructions

There are no unique or special instructions for changing your number at Tele2. Everything here is the same as with other operators. However, even before going to the office to see specialists, it is advisable to pay special attention to whether all debts have been paid. Quite often it happens that due to the fact that the last payment under the tariff plan has not been made, and because of this, it is not possible to change the number. Delays, additional costs and the change process is postponed for another day. Therefore, we recommend that readers immediately check and pay any debts.

You also need to take with you an old SIM card with the number you want to change and a passport confirming your identity. Without both elements, the process of changing your number will not be possible. All other instructions regarding replacing the old number with a new one will be provided to you by Tele2 employees.

Service cost

• Regular connection: 50 rubles.
• Silver connection: 1000 rubles.
• Gold connection: 3000 rubles.
• Platinum connection: 15,000 rubles.

Platinum is a combination of five or six identical numbers, while gold is different in that it has 4 identical numbers at the end. Silver is well remembered by ear, although visually it may not differ in any way from a random, ordinary number.

At the operator's office

If a more convenient option is visiting a salon, then do not forget to take your passport with you. This is a mandatory condition, because MTS employees cannot make any changes to the SIM card if the client is not its owner. The SIM card must be registered to him - only then the service is allowed.

If the subscriber cannot come to the communication center himself, he can send a representative with a notarized power of attorney. It must also contain passport data and full name. SIM card owner.

How does “My new number” work for MTS?
