How to hide a number in your phone settings. How to hide your mobile phone number using your mobile operator

If you need to hide your phone number from prying eyes, you can do this either through your cellular operator or in the settings of some modern smartphones. Sometimes such a service is provided by the operator for a fee, but the phone simply does not have it. In this article you will learn what you can do in such a situation.

How to hide your number from a mobile operator

The most popular mobile operators in the country make it possible to activate the “Anti-AON” service, which literally means: Anti Automatic Number Identification. Remember that all actions performed with this function fall on your shoulders. The use of AntiAON for personal gain and fraudulent purposes is prohibited.

AntiAON in MTS

The easiest way to use the service in MTS is to connect it in the mobile application. Download the MTS application from the Play Market and log in.

You will immediately see a settings icon in the upper left corner of the window. Click on it, and in the list that appears, find the “Services” item.

Go from the “Connected” tab to the “All” tab. Expand the “Call and SMS management” section.

Subsections will appear below. You need the first one – “Caller ID”.

This is where you can connect AntiAON from MTS and see its cost. By default, the price of the service is 3.95 rubles per day, however, this amount may vary in the regions.

If you are not able to activate the service in the application, then simply dial the USSD command *111*46# and the call key. After some time, you will receive a notification that AntiAON has been successfully connected and funds have been debited from your account.

AntiAON in Beeline

For the Beeline operator, everything is relatively similar:

  • If you have a mobile application, then it is better to use it and connect AntiAON there;
  • If you do not have this option, dial the combination 067409071 and the call key on your phone.

The connection will happen instantly.

There is another way to connect through the official Beeline website.

  • Follow the link https://moskva.beeline.ru
  • At the bottom you will see a yellow “Connect” button.
  • Click on it and follow the directions on the site.
  • You will need to have your phone handy to confirm the action.
  • The cost of a month is 88 rubles, one day is 3.77 rubles.

AntiAON in Megafon

If your mobile operator is Megafon, then you should dial *105#. Next, follow the on-screen instructions.

Of course, you can connect AntiAON both in the mobile application and on the website at https://moscow.megafon.ru

Click on the “Connect” button to go through the procedure on the website. The cost is slightly different from other operators - 5 rubles per day.

How to hide your number on Android

Phones running the Android operating system also have a built-in Anti-AON service. This way you can hide your number completely free of charge, however, this is not available on all versions.

Go to your phone settings through the tray or in any way convenient for you.

First go to the “Call Settings” section, and then to the “Advanced” subsection.

Find the item “Identification of my number”. If you don’t have this item, then, unfortunately, your Android does not support this option.

From the drop-down list, select the line “Hide number”.

Now outgoing calls will be detected as “Unknown”.

Can callers still see your number?

Even if you have made an attempt to gain anonymity, some mobile operators have another “SuperAON” service, which allows you to see the numbers of even hidden subscribers.

If the user has this option enabled, of course, he will recognize your number.

In addition, your number is visible in call details, printouts, and messages. If you make a call at the subscriber's expense, he will also see your number.

They can use the new number identification service, which, by the way, is absolutely free to connect to, which is a huge advantage of cellular communications. After all, as we all know, stationary operators can charge a lot of money for this same function. But how to hide your number from other subscribers? We talked about this in this article. We will consider “Anti-Caller ID” and “One-time Anti-Caller ID” - perhaps the two most popular services, which have some differences.

What is AntiAON Megafon

AntiAON Megafon- this is a special function that allows you to call all subscribers of the Megafon network, as well as almost all other cellular systems, with a hidden number. The service can only be used during a call - it does not allow you to send SMS or MMS anonymously. As mentioned earlier, there are two such services.

“One-time AntiAON” Megafon allows you to make an anonymous call after a one-time activation of the service, that is, after paying its cost (7 rubles). Accordingly, the more calls a subscriber makes, the more money he will be forced to pay.

For those who plan to call with a hidden number regularly, there is the Caller ID service. Tariffing - 5 rubles/day. As we can see, this is significantly cheaper than the previous service. These two services have special advantages. For example, “One-time AntiAON” does not require prior connection and is available to any subscriber at any time. But its daily use requires serious expenditure of money, which is why the “Caller ID” function was created.

It is also worth noting that some subscribers subscribe to the SuperAON service, the use of which excludes receiving calls from an anonymous number. Megafon also does not guarantee anonymity when calling numbers of any other mobile operator. But, as practice shows, the number will still remain hidden.

How to make an anonymous call to a Megafon number?

To make a one-time anonymous call, you do not need to call an operator or activate any services. All you need to know is a special combination of numbers and symbols: first comes #31#, then the number to which the call will be made, and the call button. This is how Megafon’s “One-time AntiAON” service is used. Before the call begins, the system will withdraw an additional 7 rubles from the balance, determining that the call is being made from an anonymous number.

There is another method, more intricate, but at the same time, does not require entering any combinations. First, you need to go to your phone’s settings and find a section there called “Transfer your number.” There you need to set the “No” option, and the system will automatically hide the subscriber’s number. But, as before, you need to pay for each new call. Therefore, after the call, you must immediately change the settings to the original ones so as not to pay extra money.

To periodically call with a hidden number, without having to constantly change settings, you need to activate the Caller ID service. What is the procedure? You must send a message of any content to the number 000105501 , or dial a special USSD command - *105*501# . Next, go to the settings, namely the “Transfer your number” section and make sure that the correct parameter is selected (“No”, in some cases - “Specified by the network”, it all depends on the model and manufacturer of the mobile device). After connecting, 10 rubles will be withdrawn from your balance. 5 rubles - daily subscription fee.

Is it possible to make anonymous calls absolutely free? Several years ago this was possible, but now subscribers do not have this opportunity.

Disabling AntiAON Megafon

First, you need to determine which service the subscriber used to make anonymous calls. As we remember, the “One-time AntiAON” function provided for changing settings. Thus, by returning to the original settings, you can disable this service, because the system will no longer use the prefix #31# .

To connect Caller ID you need to dial a special USSD command. Another such command ( *105*501*0# ) will help deactivate the function. In this case, the settings should have the option “Yes” or “Set by network”.

How to determine an anonymous number on Megafon?

If anonymous numbers constantly call you, you can identify them using the Super Caller ID service, which was already mentioned above. SuperAON can even identify numbers that are hidden using the two paid services that we have already reviewed. But to have access to this function, you will have to pay a considerable amount - 1,500 rubles per month of use. Connection occurs automatically after sending an empty message to the number 5502 or after typing *502# .

To disable the service, send an SMS with the word “ off"or "OFF" (write without quotes) on 5502 . A team has also been created for this purpose *502*4#.

You can also limit calls from some subscribers using the Megafon Black List service.

Surely you have ever received a call from an unidentified subscriber, no, it’s not that you don’t know him, but his number was hidden. Many people already know about this function and actively use it.


You can also order the “Anti-determiner” function and call your friends, pranking them and joking. No one will be able to guess which subscriber is calling them, because the digits of your number will be completely hidden and cannot be recognized by a mobile phone.

Why might such a function be needed? Well, firstly, if you don’t want your phone to remain with strangers whom you are forced to call for some business, secondly, if you work in a company, constantly calling clients, and thirdly, if you decide to stay for a while incognito or make fun of friends.

Of course, the anti-identifier does not give a hundred percent guarantee that the person you are calling will ultimately not be able to find out your phone number. But for this you need to spend enough time and opportunities, which the average user will not do, if only out of a sense of laziness.

If you are a subscriber of the mobile operator Megafon, then you can easily activate the “Anti-identifier” service and call other subscribers while remaining incognito. There are several ways to do this, now we will look at each of them.

How to hide a number on a megaphone by sending a ussd request

Most likely, this method is the simplest of all known, since all a subscriber who wants to use this service needs to do is dial a combination of numbers on the keyboard of his phone: * 31 # number of the subscriber you are calling# .

This command provides for only one-time hiding of your phone; if you want to use the service constantly, then you will need to dial the command *848# and press the call key.

The cost of a one-time service is only 5 rubles, while the cost of a minute of conversation remains the same as provided for in your tariff plan. The cost of the service on permanent terms is 30 rubles per month, which is very cheap. Disabling and connecting the service is completely free.

How to make a hidden number on a megaphone through phone settings

There are some phones that support number hiding, but such models are very few. In order to check whether your smartphone can hide you, you need to go to the standard settings and look there for an item called “Calls”, it should have a sub-item “Show/hide number”.

Now, if there is one, you need to go into it and change the parameters from “Defined by the network” to “Hide phone”. In theory it should work, you can check this by first calling the number of your wife, mother, brother or friend. It is worth noting that not all mobile operators support such settings.

Hidden number megaphone - anti-identifier service

If you were unable to use the USSD request, you can also activate this service by contacting the operator by calling 0500. Don't forget that the service only applies to outgoing calls, which means that you will see who is calling you.

Also, other subscribers will be able to call you from their address book; no changes will occur to the number. At a time when you have the “Anti-identifier” function activated and you need to call with the displayed number, you can use the command: * 31 # phone number of the person we are calling# .

Cost and limitations of the service.

As mentioned earlier, the cost of the one-time “Anti-identifier” service is 5 rubles per call + per minute fee, according to the current tariff. The “Unlimited Anti-Determinant” service costs 30 rubles per month. Connection and disconnection are not charged, i.e. free.

If you need to know how to hide a number on MTS, then this article will help you find out several answers to this question.

Let me start with the fact that the ability to determine a number is responsible for a whole set of services on each number, both the calling one and the one receiving the call. A problem in the operation of one service on any side will certainly lead to the fact that the telephone number of the calling subscriber will not be identified. True, these services were launched a very long time ago and the rules for operating these services are so clearly defined that today there are no problems with this.

A number of subscribers have another problem, I would even say a task: to hide their number. I would like to note right away: it is not possible to completely hide the number. At a minimum, the trace will remain in detail (if the conversation takes place). Only special services can make a call without the number being declassified, but an ordinary person can only indulge in high-tech commercial services (that is, they will have to pay to hide the number). Although, knowing the level of education of the population in the field of VTU, I can assure that in most cases the number will not be recognized (unless, of course, the matter comes to serious proceedings).

So, how to hide a number on MTS?

The main service that is responsible for the ability to determine the number: Caller ID - automatic caller ID. Accordingly, to prohibit the identification of a number, you need a service called Anti Caller ID, the essence of which boils down to introducing a ban on its identification. So, here are the ways to connect it:

*111*46# — to activate the Anti Caller ID service. *111*47# to turn it off. Let me remind you that the service is paid. If you need to make a call in such a way that the number is determined, you will need to either disable the service completely, or indicate the telephone number of the dialed subscriber in the format *31#+79... and the call key. In this case, this subscriber will see your number.

*111*84# — separate Anti Caller ID service upon request. Works like Anti Caller ID, but in reverse. During a normal call, your number is detected, but when you dial a number in the format *31#+79... your number will be hidden. It costs a little less, but you will need to pay a separate fee for each request.

Both services can be connected or disabled via the application on your smartphone. MTS Service. The application can be installed in the standard way through PlayMarket or AppStore.
