How to hide your number or identify a hidden number on Tele 2

How can you hide your number from the Tele 2 operator?

You can become unknown to the called party. It is enough to activate the anti-caller ID. It is this option that helps to remain unidentified to the participant in the conversation on the other end. But many people don’t know how to connect Anti Caller ID. Simple instructions will help you quickly activate the free use of the service.

Through your personal account

It’s enough just to hide the phone number 2 using the settings in your personal account on the website. Go to your page and find the anti-identifier function.

ussd: activation commands or in phone settings

You can hide the phone number 2 using the ussd command, just dial the combination *117*1# and press the call button. In this case, you don’t have to do anything else; the identifier is transmitted to the called subscriber by default until the owner wishes to cancel the service.

If the called phone has a “hidden number detector” installed, then it will not be possible to hide the number on body 2.

Function description

All Tele2 tariff plans have the Automatic Caller ID function installed by default. It allows you to view the data of users making incoming calls. However, for those who want to hide this information, a special AntiAON option has been created. It will allow you to remain unidentified when making outgoing calls to other Tele2 subscriber numbers.

Instead of your data, the other participant in the conversation will display the message “Unknown” (or “Incognito”) on the phone.

It should be noted that the operator does not guarantee high-quality operation of the option for outgoing calls to mobile phones of other Russian operators (MTS, Beeline, Megafon) and to landline phones. In addition, the option will not be valid if another user has the special function “Detecting intentionally hidden calls” enabled. Also, information about you will be displayed in the call details of any Russian operator.

It is worth noting that this offer from the Tele2 operator is paid. Its cost is 3 rubles per day.

Detailed information about the use of this service in your region can be obtained using a special USSD command *117#.

How to find out hidden incoming calls

When receiving an incoming call, subscribers can often see the words “hidden”, “unknown”, etc. This is always alarming due to the increasing number of rather unpleasant calls. It is difficult to understand who exactly is calling. A scammer, a collector or just a joker, but the situation is unpleasant and the service of identifying hidden numbers on the body 2 will help solve it.

The option works even if the caller deliberately hides his phone number. But it is connected first. If this is not done, then at the time of the incoming call, it will not be possible to determine. To activate you need:

• connect - *210*1# and call button;
• disable -*210*0# call button.

The service is paid, the cost depends on the region where the subscriber lives. You can find out the price by calling 655.

Why keep your Tele2 number secret?

Today, it is not safe to disclose mobile data due to its involvement in everyday life. The phone number is used everywhere: for registration in online stores, online banking, mobile applications. Bank cards and electronic wallets are linked to it. Based on this, it is dangerous to disclose mobile data to unfamiliar people.

Many pursue another goal, making incognito calls. This applies to interaction with trading companies. A common situation: if you call a goods trading company from your number, they will subsequently start calling and offering their services and goods unnecessarily. They will also find you on Facebook and Vkontakte and ask you to be their friend in order to get your attention.

Calls are often kept secret in order to reach debtors. You have to hide your contact in order to somehow contact them. There are other reasons, such as personal as well as professional. Therefore, the option to anonymize calls is relevant and in demand among subscribers.

When the AntiAON service cannot be active

In order to hide the number on body 2, you need to know that its effect applies to network subscribers. There is an explanation about this on the company's official website. The company cannot guarantee confidentiality when calling phones of other mobile operators.

The service also does not apply when you need to call a subscriber located in another region. Users note that they could not use the service even while they were roaming.

In what cases will AntiAON not work?

Such protection of personal data does not always work. To determine a hidden number in Tele2, corresponding services and applications have been developed. And in some situations the Anti-Determinant will not help and will not perform its functions correctly:

1. When connecting to the phones of clients of other operator companies, as well as to city phones, they will see all the information as usual. Guaranteed concealment occurs only within the network.
2. When you are outside your home region, calls will proceed as if they were not protected.
3. Don't forget about services that are designed to have the opposite effect. For example, “Identifier of intentionally hidden numbers.” If you dial such a subscriber, he will have access to all the necessary information about the person calling.
4. When you order a printout of Tele2 call details, everything hidden will become clear. To request this data, you just need to call the service department and fill out a request.
5. The service does not apply to messaging. Each SMS will lead to you.

Other ways to determine the number

If a hidden call is missed, and the subscriber is waiting for an important call and does not know where to call back, connecting “Super Caller ID” in the hope of a repeat call will not help. But there is a solution to the problem of finding the treasured numbers. You need to order call details from your mobile operator. Using this document, by the date and time of the call received, you can find out who it came from.

If you are often bothered by hidden calls, then you should use Super Caller ID, but if this is an isolated case, alternative methods will help.

Why is the number hidden?

By default, when you connect your phone to the Tele2 operator’s cellular network, “automatic caller ID” is provided. Since this service is enabled from the very beginning and its use is free, many users do not even suspect that it can be disabled.

For those who want to hide their number from the eyes of the receiving subscriber, Tele2 offers to use. To enable or disable this function, you must send a USSD request. In the same way, you can find out the cost of the service for a specific region. There are a number of caveats to using the service.

When a subscriber needs to know exactly who is calling him, the “Intentionally Hidden Number Identifier” will help. When this option is enabled, the caller's phone number is displayed on the screen, even if Anti-AON is active. The operator openly warns subscribers about this who decide to hide their number.

“SuperAON”, unlike the standard identifier, is paid. Money is withdrawn upon connection and daily during the period of use of the service. Disabling the service is free, but you will also have to pay for a subsequent connection.

To clarify information about the cost, you can use the toll-free number 655. There are no restrictions on tariffs that support the “Intentionally Hidden Number Identifier”.

Connecting AntiAON through phone settings

How to hide a Tele2 number for free, because not all phones can do this using call parameters?

Try going to the phone menu and finding the settings or parameters of the device; in the “Network” tab you should find the “Hidden number” field. Next, you should click “Hide”, and from the line “Defined by the network” you need to uncheck the box.

Try checking your work by calling a friend.

This option is provided free of charge. If the number is still visible to other subscribers, then you will need to activate a paid function from the company.

Service cost

The first connection is free, the subsequent one will cost 3 rubles, and the subscription fee will be 3 rubles per day.

It is worth noting that prices may vary depending on the region, so check with the operator for the cost before ordering.

Using phone features

In some phones, you can find an item in the menu that allows you to hide your number. For example, in Android smartphones it can be located in the settings menu, then Calls, Call settings and Caller ID or Hide number. Initially, the “Default” checkbox is checked there, but you can set it to the “Hide your number” position.

You can do it another way. On the Android system, add the combination #31# before the called number so that it looks like this: #31#89XXXXXXXXX. A number dialed in this format will allow you to hide your number when calling a subscriber of either Tele2 or another operator.

Like other methods, this option has a minus. Many operators block the ability to call when hiding the number is enabled through the phone functions. In this case, when you try to call, you will hear a similar message. This move by the company is logical, because they have a corresponding paid service, and they would not want to allow subscribers to use its capabilities for free.

Using Applications

Mobile app stores provide their customers with a lot of opportunities. There are also programs for hiding your numbers. They have names like “Hide Caller ID”. Most of these applications are on Google Play.

However, it should be remembered that free cheese can only be found in mousetraps. Many of these applications may just be another way for scammers to take your money. Others simply do not perform their function, and their goal is to show advertising to the user.

Therefore, when choosing an application for your task, you should be careful and not agree to dubious offers when launching them. If a reliable program is found, then simply launch it and make a test call to a phone near you. If the number is not identified, check the balance of your personal account. If no money was written off, you can use this application to hide your number for free.

What is the service

When you purchase a Tele2 SIM card, you automatically receive a set of free functions. One of them is Automatic Number Identifier (ANI). There is no need to pay for this option, it is completely free.

If you want to know how to hide your number when calling Tele2, you need to familiarize yourself with the AntiAON service. It hides data when calling other Tele2 numbers, as well as other Russian operators. There can be many reasons for connecting to this service: some people want to talk to a person who does not answer the phone, others do not want to leave their number when calling private companies. There is always only one way out of the situation - AntiAON.

You can hide yourself for free, but each day you will be charged a subscription fee for the service. The cost in all regions is different, approximately 3 rubles. The service will pay off only if there are a large number of outgoing calls during the day. If you need to make a one-time call, you can connect AntiAON for only one day.

You can find out information about the service by using the short command *117# or by calling the Tele2 support service at 611. You can immediately activate the service from your operator. You can also do this yourself or at the communications office.

You can independently connect AntiAON and hide yourself in your personal account on the website through service management. Another way: dial the command *117*1# and wait for the SMS notification. You can disable it in a similar way, only the command is different - *117*0#.

Important! Remember that AntiAON works only for Tele2 subscribers; anonymity is not guaranteed when calling phones of other operators.

Features and Limitations

AntiAON is an unusual service from Tele2. It hides the details of the subscriber who makes an outgoing call. You won’t be able to achieve complete anonymity, since the data is still stored in the call details of mobile operators. But the other subscriber will see the message “Number not defined” instead of the incoming number. This gives a sense of anonymity and allows you to make calls to any subscribers.

Among friends, anti-AON can be used for good practical jokes. It is worth remembering that the service will not help you avoid liability under Russian law, so you should not hide your data to break the law.

Each Tele2 subscriber can remain unknown if he calls another Tele2 number. Anonymity is not guaranteed for calls from other Russian operators. The phone can be detected if additional options are connected. Even a Tele2 client’s number can be determined if the option to detect hidden numbers is enabled.

You can hide yourself only when you are in your home region, that is, where a contract for the use of communication services has been concluded. If you are in roaming, the interlocutor will see your phone number even if anti-Caller ID is turned on.

Incognito mode does not work when calling landlines. If you call an organization and they have an identifier, your data will be visible. Also, the service does not work when sending SMS messages.

A subscription fee is charged for using Anti-AON. At the time of connection, the fee for the first day will be debited from your account. The service can be disabled at any time, it is free. There is a one-time way to hide your phone. To do this, you need to enter the combination #31# before the subscriber’s number and call as usual.

Anti-Caller ID should not be used to harass people or make threatening calls. The caller's details can be calculated and the person can be held accountable. Such actions fall under Article 119 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

How to connect and disconnect

There are several ways to connect AntiAON and hide yourself. This can be done even without leaving home. The easiest method is to dial *117*1# and press the call button. AntiAON will be turned on automatically, and you will receive an SMS notification. From now on, all calls will be made in incognito mode.

On the official Tele2 website you can manage the tariff and all additional options, including the option to hide yourself. To do this, you need to go to your personal account and select the “Services” section. You need to find AntiAON in the list and turn it on by clicking the button.

A more complicated way is to contact the communications office. The manager will help you hide your number, inform you about the options that are already connected and help you choose the optimal tariff.

Disabling the service is just as easy - you need to dial the combination *117*0# and the call button. The shutdown will happen automatically and a notification will be sent to your phone. You can also disable the option in your personal account on the website. Immediately after this, your number will begin to appear on the phone screen of the people you call.

Note! Payment for the service ceases to be debited the next day after disconnection.

AntiAON is an inexpensive and easy way to hide yourself when making calls to Tele2 numbers. Now you know how to connect and disconnect a hidden number on Tele2.

Service management

To activate the option, you need to call Tele2 support, come to the office, or do it yourself using a smartphone. The easiest way is to go to the site in your personal account and the “Service Management” section. You can download the “My Tele2” application and find a similar section in it. It manages all connected services and selects new options. This is the easiest way to manage all services and select tariffs.

If you cannot access the Internet, you can activate and stop the options using USSD requests. To connect, you need to dial an asterisk, 117, an asterisk, 1, and a hash. After pressing the call button, the service will immediately turn on. Information about services can be found using the command star-117-hash. Now you know how to hide a number from Tele2.

Price

AntiAON is a paid service for all Tele2 subscribers. A subscription fee is charged for use every day. It is different in all regions of the country. The cost varies from 3 to 5 rubles per day. Connection and disconnection are free. You can find out more about prices from the support service or on the Tele2 website.

AntiAON is a convenient service for those who make a lot of outgoing calls every day. In this case, the subscription fee pays off. If you need to make just one anonymous call, it is better to use a one-time free connection to the service.

Remember that the option only works when you are in your home region. When you are in roaming, prices apply according to the tariff, but from Tele2 it may not work.

Can the called party find out the hidden number?

If you want to hide your number, you can do this using one of the methods above. But remember that none of them are one hundred percent reliable. The subscriber has at least two ways to find out your hidden number:

• activate the Deliberately Hidden Number Identifier service in advance. Activating the service after receiving a call from a hidden number will no longer help you recognize it.
• see the number in detail.

The second method is the most dangerous for the caller who wants to remain unrecognized. A call printout will show all the numbers with which the subscriber had a conversation, because he must receive a full report, and the operator’s systems determine the number in any case - they need this to establish a connection. Thus, anyone can find out what number they called him from, and he doesn’t even have to go to the salon to do this - he can order details online, using his personal account.

The number will appear in the details only if a conversation has taken place with the subscriber. If he did not pick up the phone, then the number will not be on the printout.

Often, mobile phones of cellular network subscribers receive calls that are not detected. This could be either an important call or the work of scammers. The Tele2 operator offers its users, which allows them to obtain information about an incoming call. By declassifying the number, the subscriber will decide how important the call is to him, or will call back if the call was missed.

How to connect caller ID to Tele2?

Before connecting this option, you should know that it is paid. The price of its use ranges from 10 rubles per day, depending on the place where you live. Let's say, in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region its cost will be 5 rubles per day, in the Vladimir region - 4 rubles per day, but in the Altai Territory - 6 rubles 50 kopecks. Exact information about the price of the service can be found both on the official Tele2 website, indicating the region of your residence, and by contacting the operator by calling 611. If you will call from your home phone, then use the number

This is how you can activate the option on your phone: *210*1#

How to disable the ID of intentionally hidden numbers Tele2: *210*0#

To check whether the service is currently connected, dial: *210#

The operator warns that this service only works correctly if you are in your home region, and also if the person who hid his phone is also a Tele2 user.

Also, keep in mind that the option “Identifier of intentionally hidden numbers” is guaranteed to work only against the person who connected to his number. If your subscriber hid his phone in some other way, for example, by entering the combination #31# in front of your number, then the option you connected will not be able to decrypt it.
