Subscribers of all mobile operators have to deal with the problem of debiting funds from the balance due to the presence of additional subscriptions on the number. Finding them on time and avoiding spending money from your account is quite difficult, and sometimes it just doesn’t have enough time. However, if thematic informational messages periodically arrive at the number and money regularly disappears from the account, it is recommended to find out which options or subscriptions are activated on the SIM card.
How to disable content on Beeline yourself and protect yourself from connecting unnecessary services? These issues will be discussed in this article.
Types of additional content
In a global sense, all the content for mobile gadgets received through the cellular network can be divided into two categories:
- from the operator;
- from third parties.
Let's look at what kind of service is the content on Beeline? You can find out what function is available on the number in several ways. This will be described in more detail below.
Content Ordering Options
Often you can hear from customers that they did not connect any services and newsletters to their SIM card. Whether it is true or not is difficult to establish. After all, you can order content in the simplest ways:
- through the Chameleon service;
- via the SIM card menu;
- through various information and entertainment portals by entering a mobile phone number.
In the first two cases, we are talking about the services of a telecom operator. The option "Chameleon" is available on each SIM card. Its action is to display on the screen of a mobile gadget some information, usually advertising or informational. By itself, it is not paid. But as soon as the user is interested in a message on the display or accidentally touches it, it will be debited from the account, and the corresponding information will be sent via a text message. How to disable paid content on Beeline in each of these cases?
Checking Available Services
Checking the services activated on the number is carried out in the following ways:
- dial * 110 * 09 # (information about the options that are available on the number will be sent to the subscriber in a text message, and there will only contain additional services for which the monthly fee is charged);
- go to the SIM card menu, then to the section with the list of services;
- through a personal web interface available on the operator’s resource (in this case, there is a possibility that data on the availability of a subscription will not be displayed here).
In addition, you can always call the operator by contacting the support line and clarify how to disable content on Beeline. As for the operator’s content, the issue is resolved in a few minutes. In the case of subscriptions provided by third-party companies, the operator support service employee will not be able to help. Disconnection is carried out only by the subscriber.
How to disable content on Beeline provided by the operator?
- Use USSD service - enter a request of the form * 110 * 20 #.
- Visit the menu of the SIM card (Beeline Info application) - deactivate existing subscriptions.
- Dial the character combination 06747220 and the call key.
How to disconnect paid content on Beeline from third-party organizations?
In order to refuse to receive various content provided by other organizations than the telecom operator, a text message should be generated. In the content you need to write the word "STOP" and send it to the number from which this content comes from. The subscriber will find out whether the disconnect operation was completed by receiving a corresponding message in response.
How to secure your number from connecting unnecessary services and ordering content
In order not to run into the question of how to disable content on Beeline, and not spend money on getting unnecessary information on your mobile gadget, you should follow simple recommendations:
- Before placing an order for any content by sending a request to a short number, you should specify how much this action will cost. You can find out by sending a question mark in the message content to the number by which information is requested. Such sending is not a request and is not charged. In a response notification, the client of the mobile operator will be able to see what is the price of the service of interest to him.
- Refrain from entering your number on various entertainment or information resources. Before leaving your number on such sites, you should study the information in detail, having familiarized yourself with all the conditions, and only then confirm your actions.
- How to disable content ordering on Beeline with the Chameleon service activated? If the problem of debiting money from the account is directly related to the request through this service, then the only right solution is to disable it. You can do this through the sim menu. If you have any difficulties, it is recommended to contact the office. In some cases, in order to save the client from the intrusive service that is activated on each SIM card by default, you have to replace the SIM card.
