“The number you dialed is temporarily blocked” is a message that is often heard by subscribers of different mobile operators. What it is? Why does this message appear? How to deal with it? In fact, everything is not as difficult as it seems. The main problem is that often little depends on the caller. So why does the indicated message appear? And what to do in this situation? About all this further. For all operators, the specified phrase denotes the same thing.
Network failure
What does it mean that the number you dialed is temporarily blocked? This phenomenon is sometimes, extremely rare, a common systemic failure. That is, the caller is mistakenly given a similar message.
That is why the first piece of advice you can give is to call back. Or, for example, first restart your phone, and then resume the attempt to communicate with the person. It is likely that the failure will be fixed. Accordingly, it will turn out without any problems to contact one or another subscriber. And the message will no longer bother. However, usually a similar phenomenon occurs quite reasonably. But for what reasons? There are several options for the development of events.
Not used for a long time
Why do they say "The number you dialed is temporarily blocked"? The next, more relevant scenario is when the person who is being called does not use the SIM card for a long time. In such situations, automatic number blocking is used. Neither call nor write SMS / MMS will work.
In this situation, we can only wait. Until the subscriber independently unblocks the number, everyone who calls him will hear no beeps in response, but a message like "the number you dialed is temporarily blocked." Therefore, you can simply somehow report a similar phenomenon to someone whose SIM card has been blocked. Maybe the person does not suspect that he has communication problems.
Balance
What's next? Perhaps the last scenario is the most common case. Instead of beeps, the caller heard "the number you dialed is temporarily blocked"? Beeline, MTS or any other operator - this is not so important. The main thing is that the reason may be the negative balance of the SIM card.
The thing is that modern operators automatically block numbers with a certain minus in the account. At such moments, a citizen can neither make or receive calls. Moreover, even exchanging messages (including receiving them) will fail.
The problem is solved quite easily. How exactly? If someone heard a message like “the number you dialed is temporarily blocked” (Beeline, Megafon, or any other mobile operator - it doesn’t matter which company the citizen uses), then the caller should tell his future interlocutor about this. A person whose SIM card is not available for a call replenishes the balance to zero or a positive indicator. Then, an SMS notification will come in response, which will say about the successful unlocking of the number. Accordingly, this problem will not bother callers. Henceforth, it is recommended to carefully monitor the balance of your SIM card.
