Today I was extremely surprised to learn that my Velcom SIM card has a balance of 100 rubles without a monthly fee. The SIM card was in the car and was used extremely rarely and there should have been more than enough money. I got a little freaked out and called Welkom. It turns out that by default (!) the melophone service is activated (melody instead of beeps), damn, and it costs a whopping 7,500 per month. freaking simple. I wondered what was on MTS. I called and asked - handsome guys, damn. They call this service toning and it costs 3600 per month and is also activated by default without taking into account your interest.

Recently, the operator velcom started upgrading the system that is responsible for the operation of the Voicemail service. The resulting changes have become a frequent case when behind a heap of pleasant new products there is a fly in the ointment that can ruin the mood of many. Classic!

From June 15, the Voicemail service will become available to subscribers of the PRIVET brand. Now they, like everyone else, will be able to forward calls to their voice mailbox if they are unavailable, busy, or the phone is turned off. The caller will hear a greeting and will be able to convey to the answering machine everything that he wanted to express personally.

Comfortable? Certainly!

In addition, velcom subscribers (except for PRIVET tariffs, which were again deprived) now have the opportunity to receive fax messages to their voice mailbox and forward them to e-mail. To do this, you need to add a special “Plus” package (*441*2#). For most subscribers it will cost 2,499 rubles in additional subscription fee, while for users of tariff plans...

As the practice of considering consumer requests related to the provision of telecommunication services shows, many subscribers do not even know what services of the mobile operator they have connected to. This situation arises due to the fact that some services are activated automatically, “by default,” and the provision of some of them does not require a special application from the consumer.

In accordance with the Procedure for providing the “Voice Mail” service, from June 15, 2010, this service is automatically connected to all existing and new subscribers of the company.

Mobile system operators have once again figured out how to withdraw money for communications. Now, for each subscriber, if the call is not accepted or when the subscriber is unavailable or busy, “Voicemail” is triggered.

“The free minutes started running out, even though I didn’t seem to call anyone. It turns out that voicemail is to blame. Mayhem!

You don't know it, but you may be spending family money on voicemail even if you don't use it.

For MTS and velcom subscribers, by default (that is, almost all), operators have activated the “Voicemail” service from a certain time. If someone calls you and you don't answer, the operator offers to leave you a voicemail. And for the one who heard the voicemail answering machine, money is withdrawn as per minute of conversation with you. Even if he didn’t give you anything, didn’t write it down!

Is this not necessary? Just dial the number ##002# and press “Call” if you are an MTS subscriber, or *441*1# and “Call” if you are a velcom subscriber. This will turn off voicemail.

It’s easier for life:) subscribers - the operator does not automatically connect their voicemail, the subscriber himself must connect it intelligently.

2. Choose the right tariff

The tariff that was ideal for you a year ago may now be terribly expensive compared to the operator's new tariffs or the tariffs of its competitors. Operators announce tariff changes on their websites, but how often do they read this?

And on Windows Phone, in the standard “Information Control” program, you can set a traffic limit and prohibit background data transfer when approaching the limit.

And one more thing: if you connect or disconnect a service (for example, an additional package of minutes), wait for the operator’s confirmation so as not to start consuming services at the old price.

8. Don't fall for scams

This is not even advice, but a universal rule for all life, not just mobile.

“Send an SMS to a short number and win a million”, “your computer was blocked for watching porn, transfer the fine to so-and-so’s account”, “download Opera Mini for free from our website”... There are many ways of fraud, and there are many scammers.

Before doing anything that might cost money, ask yourself if you know how much it costs.

For example, you can check the prices of services for short numbers on the websites of operators: MTS, velcom, life:) .

9. Keep your balance

Even if you are sure that you did not fall for a scam, you could spend extra money on calls or the Internet. You need to be especially careful (and concise) during international calls.

To check how much you have already spent, you can dial the well-known USSD code *100#.

You can also find out how much and what you spent last month - it’s easier to do this through the Internet assistants of operators: MTS, velcom, life:) .

Smartphones allow you to quickly receive all information about your balance through special programs, for example, BalanceBY for Android, BayBalance for iOS or My Balance for Windows Phone.

Voicemail

How to activate the service

Mobile operators in Belarus take care of their subscribers and provide them with many necessary and useful services, one of which is “Voice Box” on Velcom numbers. After connecting it, the company’s client does not have to worry about missing any important calls, even if the phone turns off, or there is simply no way to pick up the phone at the moment. If a subscriber used the option for some time, and then wanted to disable “Voicemail” on Velcom, this is his choice and right. The information on how to disable Velcom’s “Voice Box” presented in this material is specifically for such clients of the company.

A function called “Voicemail” is available to subscribers using any Velcom tariff offers. You can use it for free if the standard option is intended, that is, when the client has not activated the “Plus” package.

The service works according to the following principle: the subscriber number is redirected to the Velcom company service phone. The user can choose the forwarding type independently: SIM card is not registered, the subscriber does not answer, busy. To ensure that the call is forwarded if all the required conditions are met, you can set the general type.

Why disable

Sometimes even a Wellcom client who uses Voicemail constantly has to disable this service. For example, while you are within your region, calls are not charged per person for call forwarding. However, if he is in roaming, and if he has conditional forwarding enabled, he will have to pay double the cost - for both incoming and outgoing calls. This means that when a Velcom subscriber plans to go abroad for some time, it is better for him to disable Voicemail.

How to refuse Voicemail

In order to disable the option (it does not matter whether it is disabled temporarily or permanently), you need to cancel all forwarding on your phone. Instructions on how to disable “Voicemail” on Velcom:

A user with access to the Velcom subscriber information system can change the list of connected functions and disable what is no longer required.
Send the combination *441*1# from your mobile phone. If the operation is successful, the operator will disable the function and send an appropriate alert.
In the voice communication settings, which are located in the general settings of the device, it is also possible to disable and cancel the use of “Voicemail”.

Connecting to the service and listening to messages

If mail was disabled for some time, and then the subscriber decided to reactivate it, you need to access the Welkom option menu by sending the same USSD combination *441*1. After this, all that remains is to set up call forwarding to the Velcom service number +375296000210 according to the conditions described above.

Important! Also, the phone owner can leave a greeting or appeal to callers no longer than a minute long in “Voicemail”. You can do two, but the duration remains the same: for example, one will last forty seconds, and the second – twenty.

How to listen to messages

Messages are listened to in one of two ways:

Make a call to the service number.
Call the public access number – +375296000201, and then indicate the unique code with “#” to the authorization information and the phone number.

The described services are also available to those who are roaming.

Once the message has been listened to, the Velcom client can:

save it by pressing button 3;
remove by pressing button 5.

Email messages are deleted only after you finish working with Voicemail. Because of this, the subscriber has the opportunity to familiarize himself with them again by going to the optional menu.

Managing Voicemail on Velcom is quite simple: you can connect and disconnect it remotely, and you don’t need to submit any applications to the company’s office. If you do not want to use this function in principle, you can refuse it immediately after purchasing and installing a SIM card in your mobile device.

Is this not necessary? Just dial the number ##002# and press “Call” if you are an MTS subscriber, or *441*1# and “Call” if you are a velcom subscriber. This will turn off voicemail.

2. Choose the right tariff

3. Beat off the minutes

This will not help if you watch video from the mobile Internet, but in other cases it will save from 20% to 80% of traffic.

5. Don't call by phone

6. Write SMS via the Internet

If someone calls you and you don't answer, the operator offers to leave you a voicemail. And for the one who heard the voicemail answering machine, money is withdrawn as per minute of conversation with you. Even if he didn’t give you anything, didn’t write it down!

Is this not necessary? Just dial 002# and press “Call” if you are an MTS subscriber, or *441*1# and “Call” if you are a velcom subscriber. This will turn off voicemail.

It’s easier for life:) subscribers - the operator does not automatically connect their voicemail, the subscriber himself must connect it intelligently.

2. Choose the right tariff

The tariff that was ideal for you a year ago may now be terribly expensive compared to the operator's new tariffs or the tariffs of its competitors. Operators announce tariff changes on their websites, but how often do they read this?

There is no reliable way to automatically check tariffs for economy, and online tariff calculators do not work reliably enough (for example, they underestimate additional packages of minutes or traffic). From time to time, you will have to independently review the details of costs over the past few months, calculate the average consumption of minutes and megabytes, and then study the operator’s websites.

True, it may not be worth running away from an operator for a couple of thousand a month: do not forget about the different coverage of the territory and the different network load of different operators, as well as your own need for calls within the network.

But also remember that you can escape from one operator to another by keeping your number.

3. Beat off the minutes

Android and some older phones have an option that will annoy some people, but save others from wasting money.

In the settings, find “Call settings”, then “Alerts on calls” (again, the names of the menu items may differ), and then turn on the minute minder.

Now, during a conversation, you will hear a beep every minute: it reminds you of the duration of the conversation.

On iOS, such a function is available, for example, in the program Call+Data Time Monitor, and on Windows Phone - in Call Timer.

4. Save traffic on images

You may not believe it, but you can consume half as many megabytes on the mobile Internet. At the same time, you don’t need to deny yourself anything.

Enable image compression in Chrome (called “Bandwidth Reduction”), Opera (“Off-road” or “Opera Turbo” functions) or UC Browser (“data compression”). You will hardly notice a decrease in image quality.

By the way, in Windows Phone this function is “hardwired” into the system itself and the standard browser: in the “Data Control” program, find the “Save information in the browser” item.

5. Don't call by phone

If both interlocutors have unlimited Internet via Wi-Fi, it will be more profitable to call through special programs such as Skype or Viber.

However, when one of the interlocutors uses the mobile Internet, savings are in question.

However, it is better to conduct long conversations via the Internet if both interlocutors already have paid unlimited Internet.

What is true is that it is cheaper to make international calls to many countries around the world through the programs mentioned. For example, Viber allows you to call the USA for 200 rubles per minute; for mobile operators, a minute in the USA costs about 10 thousand.

6. Write SMS via the Internet

Interestingly, Belarusian operators allow you to exchange SMS for free through their websites.

Conveniently, the SMS will reach the subscriber even if he does not have internet.

The inconvenient thing is that the service for receiving SMS from the Internet still needs to be activated. And the number of such SMS per day is limited.

See details and send SMS on operator websites: MTS, velcom, life:).

7. Control traffic and free minutes

A separate item is the services included in the tariff plan: free minutes, megabytes and SMS. A handy thing if they exist. But noticing that they are over is not so easy.

You can find out how much free money is left using the same USSD codes: the same *100# in MTS, *100*1# in velcom, *105# in life:). You can also use the programs mentioned above.

Well, the hardest thing to track, Internet traffic, can be perfectly monitored on any smartphone.

On Android, go to the settings, and there find the item “Mobile traffic”, “Cellular data” or “Data usage” (called differently in different phones) and set a limit and a warning when approaching the limit.

On iOS, there is a “Cellular Data” submenu in the settings, where you can see how much traffic has been used, but you can only set a limit using third-party programs.

And on Windows Phone, in the standard “Information Control” program, you can set a traffic limit and prohibit background data transfer when approaching the limit.

And one more thing: if you connect or disconnect a service (for example, an additional package of minutes), wait for the operator’s confirmation so as not to start consuming services at the old price.

8. Don't fall for scams

This is not even advice, but a universal rule for all life, not just mobile.

Before doing anything that might cost money, ask yourself if you know how much it costs.

For example, you can check the prices of services for short numbers on the websites of operators: MTS, velcom, life:) .

9. Keep your balance

Even if you are sure that you did not fall for a scam, you could spend extra money on calls or the Internet. You need to be especially careful (and concise) during international calls.

To check how much you have already spent, you can dial the well-known USSD code *100#.

You can also find out how much and what you spent last month - it’s easier to do this through the Internet assistants of operators: MTS, velcom, life:) .

Smartphones allow you to quickly receive all information about your balance through special programs, for example, BalanceBY for Android, BayBalance for iOS or My Balance for Windows Phone.
