It has long been customary that the caller’s number is immediately visible on the mobile phone’s display. And if it is still stored in the cell phone’s notebook, then its name is also determined. True, sometimes you still want to surprise your friends and acquaintances and hide your number. In this case, the AntiAON service may be needed. MegaFon thought of everything for this: connecting, disconnecting, and even individual settings.
How to connect AntiAON to MegaFon?
Most often they hide the number in the case when you need to call a stranger and still would not want to continue without the need to communicate. For a one-time call, it is enough to dial an additional combination # 31 # before the number. Instead of the caller’s phone, he sees that an unknown number is calling him. To use the AntiAON service once, MegaFon supports the ability to connect via the phone’s menu. It is only important to remember that in this case the caller ID will not turn off until canceled in the mobile.
But what if you need to call a large number of people from a hidden number? Typing a combination in front of a number each time is inconvenient. In such a case, Unlimited AntiAON can help out. MegaFon offers its subscribers to connect and use it once without any restrictions. Most often, it is proposed to connect it using USSD * 848 # or sending SMS to 000848. For those who are used to using the Personal Account, this option is also provided in the Service Guide. And if for some reason the subscriber can not or does not want to do it on his own, AntiAON MegaFon can activate the service for him as well. To do this, just leave a request on the website or contact the contact center or office of the company.

For the connected "Unlimited AntiAON" MegaFon will deduct a subscription fee from the account . Its size will depend on the region of connection (from 30 to 60 rubles). It will be charged at a time in one amount. This is usually done from the 1st to the 3rd day of each month, regardless of whether the subscriber used the service or not.
