Beeline "Parental Control" service: detailed description. "Children's tariff" from Beeline - communication with a zero balance

Parental control services have become incredibly popular with the gradual population of the Internet and all kinds of online services. Today they are implemented both through separate software installed in the memory of modern smartphones or personal computers, and as part of separate offers issued by cellular operators. Beeline, like MTS, has a “Parental Control” service, which has its own nuances, conditions and methods of management, which we will discuss in more detail and in an accessible manner below in our article.

What is and why do we need the Parental Control service?

Contrary to the general understanding of the concept of parental control, this service from Beeline does not apply to blocking access for a child to any Internet resources and prohibited sites, but to limiting powers when activating additional services and mobile communications services. That is, by activating this option, your child is unlikely to accidentally or intentionally activate any additional paid services, as well as content subscriptions, for example, which are also not free to use. After connecting the option, the child will not be able to order any pictures, games, or information services without the knowledge of the parents.

The operating principle of the service is extremely simple:

1. A child accidentally or specifically activates a service, orders a service, or activates an option.
2. A parent connected to the Parental Control service receives a text message on their phone, the content of which displays information about the cost and purpose of the service connected by the child.
3. The parent decides whether to provide their child with the opportunity to activate this option, or whether the activation procedure should be rejected. The decision is confirmed (also via SMS).
4. The service is activated or remains deactivated on the child’s phone, taking into account the parent’s earlier decision.

Terms of Beeline "Parental Control" service

There is no point in discussing the benefits of this option once again, because it is obvious. But the rationality of its connection is for the end consumers to judge. And they judge how a tradition has developed directly by the financial conditions of its connection. And they look like this:

• Option connection procedure;
• Cost of use: 1 ruble per day.

Accordingly, for only 30/31 rubles per month, parents get the opportunity to scrupulously monitor all actions related to connecting additional services. services from the operator, performed by their child, which is very inexpensive.

Code for connecting “Parental Control” to Beeline

Activating this service is very simple and requires a simple combination dialed on the child’s phone. It looks like this: *934*PARENTAL PHONE NUMBER#, where instead of “PARENTAL PHONE NUMBER” the parent’s contact is indicated in the format without the “seven”.

How to disable Parental Control from Beeline

If in the future you decide to disable the option without noticing your child’s actions to activate unwanted services, then you can deactivate it by entering the combination *934*0# .

Where is the child - parental control from Beeline

Often, Beeline subscribers who want to activate the option to determine the location of a child are interested in the option we are considering today. As you probably already understand, interest directly in “Parental Control” in this case is erroneous.

However, it is possible to track the position of a child on Beeline, but for this you need to connect another option, called “Locator”. We have already considered it, and its connection can be done by calling the number 0783 . We immediately warn you that the option is more expensive than simple “Parental Control”, and for it you need to “lay out” 7 rubles daily.

Parental Internet control on Beeline

If you are interested in activating a service for monitoring and blocking sites on the Internet that are undesirable for children, then Beeline has a separate service only for home Internet subscribers. It can be activated in your personal account, and it is provided for use, by the way, completely free.

You can, in turn, block such sites on mobile devices using separate software, which today is absolutely easy to download for smartphones in official application stores. To find and download the appropriate applications, you just need to enter “Parental Controls” in the Play Market or Apple Store and download any of the free applications to the child’s phone memory. There you can set up a lock and set a password so that parental controls are not disabled by the child themselves.

Today, almost every child has a mobile phone. On the one hand, this helps parents always be aware of the whereabouts of their children, but on the other hand, it can entail large expenses, especially when children are connected to a postpaid tariff. To save parents from unnecessary costs, Beeline has developed the “First Children's” tariff, designed specifically for children. Among its main advantages is that it allows you to make calls even with a zero balance. Let's take a closer look at the favorable conditions of this tariff plan.

Detailed description of the “First Child” tariff

The main advantage of this Beeline tariff is the absence of a subscription fee and the ability to make calls when there is no money left in the account. Thus, no matter what happens, the child will not be left without communication, and parents do not need to worry if they suddenly failed to top up their account on time. In addition, the “First Children” tariff plan has other interesting advantages:

1. Special tariff system for outgoing SMS.

The first Beeline tariff for children offers the following prices for sending SMS: the cost of the first message per day is 9.95 rubles, but the next 99 messages will cost 10 kopecks each. From the 101st message, the cost per SMS will increase to 2 rubles.

1. Cash bonus for incoming calls.

A bonus of 30 kopecks is awarded for every 60 seconds of a received call on the home network. You can spend bonus funds on Beeline services, except for roaming, calls and sending SMS to paid numbers, as well as connecting additional services and infotainment services.

The maximum accrued bonus per day cannot exceed 5.1 rubles. It will not be possible to transfer these funds to another account. You can find out the amount of accumulated bonuses by calling 0697 or using the USSD command *102#.

1. The ability to call and write SMS with a zero balance.

You can make calls and send messages with a zero balance for up to 60 rubles. Once this amount is reached, Beeline communication services will not be provided. The negative debt will be written off the first time you top up your account.

The table below describes the cost of calling, SMS and Internet tariffs on the tariff plan:

“First Children's” cannot boast of low prices for outgoing calls, however, this Beeline tariff provides the ability to connect up to 5 favorite numbers, which you can communicate with at a reduced cost. Only Beeline numbers in the SIM card connection region can be selected as favorites. The “Favorite Number 5” service does not require a subscription fee; its activation will cost 30 rubles. Changing your favorite number will cost 15 rubles.

To connect your favorite numbers on your phone, use the command *139*885*number*…*number#. Where numbers should be dialed in ten-digit format, for example: *139*885*9063213221*9656546554*9064564556# .

All the conditions described above for using mobile communication services and SMS are valid only in your home region; in roaming, the cost of these services will differ.

Due to the active development of both mobile and wired Internet, the number of users under the age of majority is increasing every year. However, given that there is a lot of obscene content on the Internet, parents have a serious problem - to protect their children from the influence of information that can cause psychological trauma or in any other way influence the deviation from the normal development of the child. Telecom operators are certainly answering this challenge. For example, the other day MTS introduced a new corresponding option for its mobile subscribers. Let's see what the market generally offers on this issue.

Let's turn to the leading players in the telecommunications market, such as, "" and "", who are already offering specialized tariff plans to protect children from inappropriate content. We would like to separately note the company, which does not offer such options at all.

This review deals with all sorts of restrictions imposed on tariffs or tariff options, by resorting to which the adult part of users can limit the access of their offspring to unwanted content. In particular, this includes: filtering search queries, barring calls to short numbers, as well as sending SMS messages to them. At the same time, parents have the opportunity to remotely monitor not only the current state of the child’s personal account, but often also the location of their child.

Let's consider and compare all the opportunities presented by cellular operators, to what extent they suit the needs of parents. Naturally, the cost of such services also plays an important role.

Safe Internet for children from MTS

MTS is ready to provide a special “Children's Package” option (it appeared the other day), which will allow you to protect your child from unnecessary information and also find out his location.

It is worth noting that the above service controls more than 80 categories of dangerous Internet content, sending/receiving paid SMS and MMS from short numbers, as well as calls to them. If the balance approaches zero, parents instantly receive an SMS notification about this. In order to find out the true location of the child, you need to send a free SMS request from your mobile device to the toll-free number 1112.

Here’s how Vasil Latsanich, vice president of the MTS group for marketing, spoke about the new service: “Mobile technologies and the Internet open up a huge number of new opportunities for children for study and entertainment, but fraudulent paid services and adult content pose a certain danger for an unprepared user. MTS offers a universal solution that will allow young subscribers to enjoy modern gadgets and communications, protecting them from network threats and unexpected expenses, and for parents to track their child’s location in order to protect them from dangerous situations in real life.”

Protection of children from obscene content offered by MTS

Connecting/disabling the MTS “Children's package” option (more detailed information can be found on the operator’s official website http://www.mts.ru/mob_connect/tariffs/discounts/discounts_with_mts/detskiy_paket/) costs absolutely nothing. However, there is a monthly subscription fee of 80 rubles, which will be debited from the child’s personal account. In order to activate the service, you need to dial the combination *111*1112# from your child’s phone.

If parents foresee a situation in which the child can independently disable the option, in order to avoid parental control, it is necessary to submit a corresponding application to any MTS cellular communication store.

In addition to the “Children's Package” option, MTS provides the “Parental Control” service (more detailed information can be found on the operator’s official website http://www.mts.ru/mobil_inet_and_tv/internet_comp/additionally_services/parent_control/), which allows you to protect children from inappropriate behavior. content available via mobile or home Internet.

It is also worth noting that MTS constantly holds educational exhibitions and lessons on useful and safe Internet, with the support of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, as well as employees of the Faculty of Psychology of M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Internet Development Foundation. Children are introduced to the basic rules for the safe use of Internet resources and the corresponding responsibility for committing certain acts.

Safe Internet for children from MegaFon

The MegaFon company provides its subscribers with two packages of services aimed at protecting children from unnecessary information. In this case we are talking about the “Be Calm” and “Children’s Internet” options.

The first option will not allow the child to access dubious sites via a 3G modem or from a SIM card inserted into a mobile device. According to the “Be Calm” package, spontaneous opening of Internet windows will be prohibited and protection against spyware/virus attacks will be provided.

Information security is carried out through the Parental Control service included in the package, which works on the principle of a filter, preventing access to Internet pages with inappropriate content.

Protection of children from obscene content offered by MegaFon

In addition, the “Be Calm” package will not allow you to send paid SMS messages to short numbers, as well as make calls to them thanks to the included “Stop Content” service (more detailed information can be found on the operator’s website http://moscow.megafon.ru /services/content/stop_content/about.html), which is provided without any usage fees.

And thanks to the “Balance of Loved Ones” service, also included in the package, it becomes possible to obtain information about the state of affairs of the child’s personal account. It, like other services, is provided completely free of charge.

In order to control the location, the MegaFon company provides the “Beacon” option (more detailed information can be found on the operator’s website http://moscow.megafon.ru/services/searchandnavi/mayachok.html#porting). Right on the screen of your mobile device, you can see your child’s location on a map at any time. Just like the rest of the options, “Beacon” is completely free. To activate the service, you need to dial the command *141*child number#call. After this, an MMS message about the location is received.

As a result, we can come to the conclusion that the “Be Calm” option does not require any financial resources and allows you to protect your child from dangerous information and control his location.

It is worth noting that there is a “Children’s Internet” tariff plan (more detailed information can be found on the operator’s official website http://moscow.megafon.ru/internet/mobile_internet_services/for_parents_children/detskiy_internet.html#price). It already includes the ability to control the information flows described above and provides unlimited access to the Internet via mobile devices. You can activate the tariff absolutely free by dialing *552#call on your phone. However, Children's Internet provides a subscription fee of 300 rubles per month.

Safe Internet for children from Beeline

Unfortunately, the Beeline company cannot boast of a long list of proposals in terms of child protection. However, along with this, this player has the “Parental Control” option (more detailed information on the operator’s website http://internet.beeline.ru/provod/msk/service/index.wbp), which applies to the home Internet.

Through this service, parents have the opportunity to restrict their child from obscene content distributed on the Internet, as well as from prolonged exposure to the World Wide Web. It is worth noting that the “Parental Controls” option is at the testing stage.

Protection of children from obscene content offered by Beeline

In order to activate the service, you need to log into your personal account and perform certain actions indicated on the operator’s website.

Proposals of mobile operators to ensure safe Internet access for children - main conclusions:

As a result of the review of services that provide restriction of children’s access to inappropriate content, we can summarize:

MTS provides a completely adequate option that prevents children from accessing inappropriate information and allows you to control the child’s personal account and location. The cost of the service is 80 rubles per month.

The MegaFon company provides very interesting options, similar to those distributed by the mobile operator MTS, but completely free.

The Beeline company provides the Parental Control service, however, only within the home Internet.

Tele2 cannot provide anything like this yet.

A mobile phone for a child today is a necessity, although many children strive to turn it into an exciting interactive toy. The Beeline children's tariff will help parents not to spend too much to top up their child's account, and at the same time he will always stay in touch. Beeline tariffs are great for adults, and now there is the first children's tariff.

What to expect from the tariff

The children's tariff is affordable and lacks unnecessary services. The main advantage is that even with a negative balance, the child will be able to call his parents. Moreover, you can go into a negative balance up to 60 rubles.

The peculiarity of “Children’s” is that for every minute of an incoming call, 30 kopecks are deducted to the account; the maximum earnings per day are 5.1 rubles. These positive aspects make parents happy. But the following conditions also apply:

1. Outgoing calls – 3.75 minutes.
2. Ability to connect your favorite numbers. Moreover, calls to them will be charged: 1.88 for the first minute and 1 ruble for the following minutes.
3. SMS - 9.95 rubles, second and subsequent ones - 10 kopecks each.
4. Beeline Internet – 9.95 rubles/MB, if you don’t connect to more profitable services.

Looking at the conditions, it becomes clear that such a tariff is not the most profitable, so it quickly became archival. Those who connected earlier can still use it.

Rates that may be suitable for children

The official Beeline website offers the “All 1” or “All 1” tariff. The latter does not work in all regions. Under the terms of the specified tariffs, the child will have Internet traffic of up to 4 GB within 200-400 minutes for calls. “Everything 1” has an SMS package.

It is also worth considering a tariff without a monthly fee; in many regions there are 2:

• "Zero doubts." Call minutes are charged from 1.2-1.5 rubles per minute depending on the region. The package does not include the Internet, the SMS package, but they can be connected separately at a favorable price.
• "Second". Billing is per second, the cost also depends on the region, varies between 2-5 kopecks per second.

In these tariffs you need to monitor the balance, since there is no possibility of going into the negative. As an option, you can activate the automatic “Trust Payment” service.

Conclusion

Tariffs for children are not difficult to choose; you can even register a Beeline personal account for a minor’s number, which will help the child keep his expenses under control.

A significant part of Beeline subscribers are minors whose parents, or they themselves, want to reduce communication costs to a minimum. Therefore, the organizers of the company have developed a Beeline children's tariff, which allows you to make calls even if there is no money in your account. To decide to switch to such tariffs, it is very important to know some of their details, conditions and disadvantages.

Detailed description of "Children's TP"

As already mentioned, according to the terms of the package, the subscriber has the opportunity to call and write SMS messages, even though there will be no funds in the account. Many parents will agree that this is ideal for bonding with their children. Beeline's "First Children" tariff attracts many precisely because you can communicate without money in your account. But is he really as good as they say?

When a mobile operator client decides to switch to a certain tariff plan, the first thing that will interest him is the cost of calls in the Home region. For example, the mobile operator Beeline “First Children” offers favorable conditions in Moscow and the region. Immediately after connecting, you can make calls, the first minute of which will be paid in the amount of 3.75 Russian currency. All subsequent minutes will cost only two rubles. Incoming calls can be received completely free of charge. This applies to both mobile and landline numbers, which is very beneficial for the child.

In addition, this package offers such a framework that you can select and activate the additional “Favorite Numbers” service. Here you can communicate on even more favorable terms. If you choose this function for children, they will help you save money on communication services. For example, each first minute of an outgoing call will cost 1.88 rubles, and the second and all subsequent minutes will cost only 1.

Many subscribers will agree that some tariffs attract not only good conditions for calls, but also for sending SMS messages. As already mentioned, the child will be able to send SMS even if he does not have funds in his account.

Many Beeline parent clients who are deciding which tariff to sign up for their child are put off by the fact that sending the first message will cost as much as 9.95 rubles.

1. But there is one thing. All subsequent SMS messages (and you can write 100 of them per month) will cost only 10 kopecks. Therefore, this arrangement is very attractive.
2. MMS messages cost 9.95 rubles within the tariff.

SMS abroad – 3.95.
