Often, mobile operators connect services to their subscribers without their knowledge. It also happens that when you purchase a SIM card, you automatically become a user of a particular service. Some of them relate directly to communication, for example, the SMS non stop service is automatically connected on SIM cards with the Monster of Communication tariff plan.
Others are purely entertaining. These include the Chameleon service. Beeline provides it for free.
This service is a display of entertainment and information plan information. Such messages are called teasers. They are displayed on the screen of a mobile phone and do not require, in contrast to SMS and MMS, the operation “Read” or “Open”. The subscriber can receive weather forecasts, jokes, news, quiz questions, pictures, tunes, games and more. Sometimes the information comes in full, but most often it’s only a fragment of it, and the rest can be obtained when ordering content or connecting to a paid service. Teasers are displayed on the screen for several minutes, then disappear. When they arrive, the phone does not emit a sound or vibration signal. These messages do not take up space in the phone’s memory, as they are not saved anywhere. At the end of the teaser, there are two actions to choose from: "Details" and "Next." It is important to know that clicking "Details", you agree to the continuation of the teaser, which may be paid.
Many users are eager to disconnect Chameleon, since the connection occurred without their participation and application. Owners of Beeline SIM cards with this service are annoyed by the constant glow of the screen, in connection with which there is a fast consumption of the battery power of the phone. Also, some users, especially representatives of the older generation, often unknowingly send a confirmation message to order a paid service, which leads to an unplanned debit of funds from the account. This category of owners wants to disable the "Chameleon", but few people know how to do it. Therefore, they continue to remain users of the service without such a desire.
Let's find out how to turn off the "Chameleon"? Beeline allows you to do this in several ways.
1. Dial * 110 * 20 # on the phone, and then press the call key.
2. Using the mobile phone menu, you need to go to Beeinfo. In this section, select “Chameleon”, then “Activation”, and then “Disable”. You can also use the "My Account" Internet service and try to disable "Chameleon" through it. But this method does not apply to all tariff plans.
There is another category of users who are happy to use the service provided. After all, "Chameleon" makes it possible to view news, participate in quizzes, and learn interesting facts through a mobile phone. You use only those paid services that you choose, and get what you are interested in. Getting teasers, connecting and disconnecting services, as well as continuing the teaser (if indicated in the text) is offered absolutely free of charge. Disable "Chameleon" or not - your choice.
