Clients of cellular companies, including Megafon, often fall for paid subscriptions and various paid services, which are connected by random actions of the subscriber. These paid subscriptions are completely useless for many customers and waste a lot of money. Fraudsters try to trick the subscriber into calling a short number or sending a paid message.

To warn its customers against wasting money, Megafon created a service that prohibits paid entertainment services and called it “Stop content” Megafon.

There are many fraudulent resources on the world wide web that can impose and connect a subscriber to a paid subscription. In this case, the person will not even guess about it. Therefore, when using a smartphone, you need to be careful and not press unnecessary buttons. You can become a participant in paid content completely by accident.

Mobile paid subscriptions can be activated using special team USSD, as well as by sending a message to a short paid number. The cost of such subscriptions can reach large sums. In addition, young children can access adult content. Therefore, access to such numbers must be blocked, which will protect children from unwanted information and yourself from unnecessary expenses.

The new “Stop Content” service carries out prohibited actions to send messages, USSD commands and calls to paid numbers.

You will receive a confirmation on your smartphone text message that this service has been activated successfully and that access to paid short numbers is blocked. The negative point is that the USSD team is working to disable the service not throughout the country. In other words, after sending a command to connect the service, you will see a redirection to interactive menu, in which there is no command to connect the service in question.

In such regions, the Stop content Megafon +how service can be activated in other ways, for example, using the “Personal Account”. You can access it using the appropriate mobile app from Megafon, as well as by accessing the operator’s official website through a browser on a computer.

Today, life is arranged in such a way that every businessman strives to get into a person’s pocket, imposing on him absolutely unnecessary goods and services.

MTS was no exception, its subscribers often send messages to paid numbers out of curiosity. Such carelessness leads to the fact that the owner of the SIM card, out of ignorance, activates a service that he is not even aware of.

To avoid astronomical phone bills, let's try to figure out how to quickly and freely set up a short-term ban.

Why is such a service needed?

A regular SMS with advertising content can be fraught with potential danger. Often, upon receiving bill details, the subscriber is surprised to notice that the lion's share of expenses is made up of incomprehensible paid subscriptions, which appeared just at the same time as messages with harmless advertising.

Connecting a service that initiates a content ban on MTS allows you to:

block all outgoing calls to paid numbers;
set SMS blocking for paid services;
prohibit receiving messages from paid numbers;
be sure that children or random people will not burden your mobile account with unforeseen additional expenses.

How much does it cost to connect?

The operator does not charge for the option to block SMS to MTS short numbers. Every mobile provider has it, but only a few operators make this information publicly available.

This attitude is due to the fact that thanks to paid subscriptions cellular companies earn a significant portion of their total income. MTS and its competitors will continue to impose useless services, because only a small part of subscribers who discover such manipulations contact the office demanding a refund. While people are unaware of their rights, cellular companies are enriching themselves on their gullibility.

Are all numbers blocked by the service for blocking sending SMS to MTS short numbers?

Do you want to have everything useful commands your operator?

No, blocking is installed only for paid subscriptions and services included in MTS-info. On useful options, such as Internet banking and free USSD codes, the ban does not apply.

What is needed to activate the service?

Previously, it was possible to add a service using a simple USSD command, but the operator, hunting for profit, excluded this possibility.

Today, prohibiting sending SMS to MTS short numbers is possible only if the owner of the number provides representatives of the mobile operator with documents confirming his rights. This is done in order to complicate the connection procedure and get as much income as possible from clients.

There are several simple ways:

Call MTS support service at 0890 and follow the instructions to install the option.
Contact one of the company's offices in person.

How to disable the ban on short numbers?

To do this, you just need to contact any of the company’s offices. If the subscriber proves that the extra service was activated without his knowledge, the operator will be obliged to return the illegally withdrawn amount.

What else is useful to know?

Sometimes, even after the ability to use paid services is disabled, advertising messages continue to be sent to the number. In this case, you should not delay and send a complaint to number 6633 (Antispam service) as quickly as possible.

Beeline users often encounter subscriptions, both from the Beeline operator itself and from third party content providers. How to subscribe to receive information is quite clear - send an SMS to a short number, but how to refuse is sometimes unclear to clients and they have to spend a lot of time searching for information.

Paid subscriptions themselves are provided by content providers with daily debits for their provision, but no more than once a day. Write-offs may occur at different intervals, but regularly. One write-off at cost cannot be more than 30 rubles(in view of VAT).

There are several ways to find out if you have subscriptions.

Personal Area

IN personal account There are a number of sections, you need to select “Profile”, go to the Subscriptions tab, where the entire list of what you are currently connected to will be displayed.

Everything you don't need. Can be canceled at any time.

This will prevent the subscriber from sending a reply message by mistake. Connection is made via 0858 , for free.

What is a "Content Account"?

But if there is still a need to receive services from providers, then in order to protect against fraudsters and to save cash in the main account, it is worth creating a separate, so-called “Content” account. Money on it will be spent exclusively on subscriptions. How to do it?

Through your personal account

You need:

Log in to your personal account;
Go to “Services” in your personal account;
Find the parameter “Separate personal account for payment of services of Providers” and make it active by moving the power button to the right. An option with auto-replenishment is possible. You can top up like a regular number, the only difference is its first the number will change from 9 to 6.
