How to unlock an MTS SIM card after “voluntary blocking”

There are several ways to unlock a SIM card in this case.

Personal appeal to the MTS communication salon

This is the most reliable way to restore a SIM card. You must have a passport with you, and if the SIM card is not issued in your name, then a notarized power of attorney from its owner. After presenting the necessary documents, you will be asked to write an application for SIM card restoration. After this formality, you will immediately receive a new SIM card with the same number and previously connected services.

Not all subscribers have the opportunity to personally contact an MTS communication salon to receive a new SIM card. And in this case, the company met its customers halfway by providing a free service for SIM card delivery by Russian Post. Courier delivery of a SIM card to your home is also available, but this service is paid. Its cost depends on the urgency of delivery and your tariff plan. Delivery can be ordered in two ways:

• order delivery of a SIM card by Russian Post by calling the service number 0890, or by calling 8-800-250-0890 if calling from any other phone. You need to wait for the operator to connect and provide him with your phone number, passport details and postal address. The estimated delivery time for a SIM card is from 3 to 15 days.
• To use courier delivery of a SIM card , you must fill out a special form on the MTS website, which is located at anketa.ssl.mts.ru , or by calling customer service 0890, or by calling 8-800-250-0890. Three delivery modes are available: "Economy" - within 3 business days, "Expedited" - within 1 business day, "Express" - within 3 hours.

Call the MTS contact center

If you have a blocked SIM card in your hands, then it is not at all necessary to go to a communication store. To restore the number in this case, you just need to call the operator and inform about your desire to unblock the MTS SIM card.

To call a “live” operator using the short number 0890, wait until the voice menu starts and press the keys 5 and 0 in sequence. For calls to customer service from a landline phone, as well as phones from other cellular operators, the toll-free number is 8-800-250-0890. To contact the operator at this number, wait until the voice menu starts and press the 1 and 0 keys.

To restore your SIM card, be prepared to tell the operator your passport data, as well as the code word that you came up with when concluding a contract for the provision of mobile communication services.

Peculiarities

Text messages come not only from the moderation of cellular communications, but also from financial institutions where accounts are opened, stores where purchases are constantly made, etc. At first glance, the information is necessary, reminders about regular payments (utility payments, payment for kindergarten), sales days in your favorite store, current new shoes and clothes.
Often operators impose paid mailings that are not ordered by the consumer. They can be connected accidentally or they are added when receiving a new card, in case of replacement or loss of the old one.

Banning SMS content from MTS

Additional content from MTS is all those information services that offer the distribution of information that is interesting to subscribers. So, for example, today users can connect to mailing lists of interesting games and applications, sports and financial news, jokes and anecdotes, melodies and videos. All this, of course, may be of interest to a certain audience of modern subscribers, but when they remember or learn that such content services are offered for a fee, questions about their necessity immediately disappear.

Unfortunately, it is very easy to connect such services, and you can do it accidentally. This is why the ban on sending outgoing SMS to MTS short numbers is so relevant for clients of this operator.

In MTS, the ban on sending outgoing SMS to short numbers is activated using the USSD combination *984# , in your personal account on the operator’s website or in the “My MTS” application for smartphones and tablets. MTS subscribers can view current information about connected subscriptions and their costs using the USSD command *152# .

After this, you can call 0890 and disable those subscriptions that you do not need, or that you did not connect/connected by accident.

Returning to the use of additional content services is very simple - you need to reconnect them through the content offering website moicontent.mts.ru .

To 100% get rid of all paid subscriptions, I strongly recommend connecting a separate “Content Account”. Instructions here >>>

Prohibition of receiving information messages

In addition to the content of services, attention should also be paid to advertising information messages, which often come from MTS and are more than intrusive. It is precisely because of such abundant spam that many subscribers do not notice important messages or messages about connecting content subscriptions - after all, the operator’s clients simply stop paying attention to advertising information that they do not need.

Fortunately, MTS specialists still have a conscience, which is why they are implementing an additional and completely free service, thanks to the connection of which you can completely prohibit the reception of information messages (both text and multimedia).

How to unlock an MTS SIM card using PIN and PUK codes

It's always unpleasant to discover that your SIM card is blocked. You cannot make a phone call or use other services of the operator, and friends trying to call you hear only the voice of an answering machine, informing you that the number is no longer in service.

Don't despair! There is always a chance to unlock your MTS SIM card and continue using it as if nothing had happened. True, whether it will be possible to restore the number largely depends on the reason for blocking the SIM card.

If you have not disabled the PIN code verification function on your phone, then after each turn on, the device will request a PIN code from your SIM card. It is enough to make a mistake only three times for the device to be blocked.

In this case, to unlock the SIM card you will need to enter the PUK code. You can find it out by looking in the envelope you received when purchasing a SIM card. Usually the PIN and PUK are indicated on a small paper insert, or on a plastic card to which the SIM card was attached.

If you don’t have this envelope, you can find out the PIN and PUK codes:

• by sending a free SMS to the short number 9999 of the form 375 XX XXX XX XX code word. The code word is the same word that you came up with when you signed a contract for communication services when purchasing a SIM card. If you don’t remember your code word, you can look it up in the contract. SMS to number 9999 can be sent from any MTS phone.
• by calling the operator at 0890, or 8-800-250-0890 (you need to call from any phone except MTS mobile);
• using the Internet Assistant;
• by personally contacting the MTS customer service center.

If you enter the PUK code incorrectly 10 times in a row, the SIM card is blocked forever. It will not be possible to restore it, and further use of the number will only be possible after replacing the SIM card at an MTS communication store.
