Every mobile phone user has encountered unwanted calls. It is very easy to solve this problem by blocking numbers from which annoying calls are received. You can blacklist the phones of advertisers, spammers, and so on. You can also get rid of annoying acquaintances. All this can be done using the blacklist function on phones with operating Android system. In this article you will learn how to block a number on Android in all possible ways.
You can blacklist contacts in the following ways:
- standard Android tools;
- using your service mobile operator;
- through special applications.
We will consider all methods from two sides: how to block a subscriber and how to unblock them back. The second operation may be useful to you, so we advise you to read the instructions thoroughly.
Standard Android functionality
The developers of the operating system have provided the ability to blacklist other people's numbers using standard functionality. This feature is available with Android versions 6 and newer. Blocking calls is very simple (some menu names and interface may vary depending on the OS shell on your device):
- Open the settings window.
- Go to item.
- Next, go to the section.
- Select item.

You can add contacts or new numbers to the blacklist. To prevent them from calling, but to receive messages, just check the appropriate box before blocking. To remove a contact from the emergency, pinch it with your finger and click the button.
Now blocking calls and SMS from of this subscriber will be removed.
Let's look at an example of blocking numbers on Samsung with TouchWiz. TouchWiz is a unique shell for the Samsung OS on which the company's smartphones run. In it, the procedure for adding to an emergency situation is slightly different. Go to the call log and find the required number. Then click on it. Open menu system key and select "Add to blacklist".
Removing a subscriber from the black list is done through the call settings menu.
Of course, it is impossible to cover all devices and shells - we only showed the most common examples of blocking on Samsung, MIUI shell etc. If these methods do not work for you, then use an annoying call blocker through the functionality of your mobile operator.
How to block with an operator
Let's look at blocking subscribers using the example of the main popular operators in Russia: MTS, Beeline, Tele2 and Megafon. The easiest way to block incoming calls is through USSD command or SMS message to short number.
Let's start with the MTS operator.
From operators cellular communications There are special commands that need to be entered directly in the calling application. Each of them performs a specific action related to services or assistance to the subscriber. Often the same combination is used when sending an SMS message to an operator:
- Enter the combination into the call menu *111*442# . Press the call key.
- Wait for a response message notifying you of your connection.
Remember that this service paid - the operator withdraws 1.5 rubles every day. Another connection option is through the portal and personal account.
You can also activate the service using an SMS message with the text 442*1 to a short number 111 .
A subscriber is included in an emergency situation using SMS with the text 22*7ХХХХХХХХХХ# to the number 4424 .
You can block a number in one of two ways:
- "Busy" status. The one who calls from specific number, will be heard on the phone short beeps. To do this, use the command *442*21*number# ;

- USSD request *442*24*7ХХХХХХХХХХ# and call button;
- Message 22*7ХХХХХХХХХ# on 4424 .
Blocking contacts on Android with a Beeline SIM card is carried out using the same methods - SMS and USSD. First of all, we connect the service using the command *110*771# . Activation will happen within 24 hours from the date of sending the application.

Video instructions
For those of you who prefer to watch the instructions rather than read them, we have prepared a training video.
A blocked SIM card, for various reasons, leaves its owner without means of communication, which is a rather serious problem nowadays. Buying a new SIM card with a new number is not a very comfortable procedure, since all relatives and friends will have to give their number again. And if you just recently topped up your phone bill, then it’s even more frustrating. But telecom operators found a way to unblock the card. Of course, MTS cannot lag behind in the market and has also provided its subscribers with the right to free renewal of a SIM card with an old number. Moreover, this is done in the shortest possible time and completely problem-free.
Now let's look at all of them in detail possible ways unlocking cards that exist on at the moment. And the reader will only have to choose the option that suits him best.
Why is the SIM card blocked?
There are many different factors for blocking an MTS card, but the most common are the following:
- Entering the wrong PIN code more than three times will lock your phone automatically. IN in this case It will be enough to use the puk code, which is on any plastic SIM card or in the user agreement. But you need to be careful, since entering the wrong puk code is only allowed a limited number of times;
- Automatic blocking due to large debt. There is no need to do anything here, because when you top up your balance and pay off your debt, your number will be automatically restored. If suddenly this does not happen, then you should use one of the unlocking methods below;
- Connecting the service " Voluntary blocking“when the user independently decided to block the number due to the uselessness of the services;
- If loss or theft occurs, you must block the SIM card to prevent it from being used by others. You can block it by contacting the MTS operator;
- In case of long-term storage of SIM cards without use, i.e. do not receive calls or top up your account; the card may be blocked by the operator. But it can be unblocked if the storage period has not been exceeded.
In these and other cases, it is possible to unblock the MTS card. Moreover, along with the restoration, the SIM card is activated, during which the existing services and the existing balance are renewed. There are only three exceptions - blocking the SIM card forever voluntarily, entering the wrong puk code more than ten times and not using the number for more than six months. If such conditions arise, it is unfortunately not possible to unlock the SIM card.
Three ways to unlock an MTS SIM card
If trouble happens and the card is blocked, then there are three reliable ways to unblock it:
- MTS communication salon. This is the surest method to resolve all issues related to number unblocking, where operators will explain and show everything in detail. By contacting the nearest MTS branch, you can get a new card if the old one was lost and had to be blocked. To do this, the subscriber just needs to present his passport and formalize the request in writing in the required form. It won’t take much time, but the advantage is that immediately after all the formalities you receive a new SIM card with your old data and services;
- MTS operator. This method can be used if the SIM is available, but somehow blocked, i.e. no need to get a new one. Then all you have to do is call the MTS operator, who will tell you what needs to be done specifically in your case to unlock the SIM card. To do this, dial 0890 on your mobile phone and the call button. If you need to call from a landline phone or another mobile operator, then use the number 8-800-250-08-90 and the call button. You just need to be prepared to answer a few questions and, if necessary, provide your passport details and code word so that the contact center employee can verify your identity. The questions consist mainly of providing information on the main telephone numbers or last calls made, the date and amount of the last top-up and the current balance. The code word is invented by the subscriber during the conclusion of an agreement for the provision of communication services and fits into this very agreement. If you managed to block the card due to an incorrect PIN code, then you can also get a puk code through an operator or by sending a free message to number 9999 with the text “phone number space code word”;
- MTS website. By logging into your MTS personal account, you can unblock a number if the “Voluntary Blocking” service has been activated. To do this, go to “Number Management”, select the “Blocking” section, following the instructions of the Internet assistants. It is recommended to do the same when blocked after entering an incorrect PIN code.
Important information: When receiving a message “call me back, please” from an unfamiliar subscriber, it is not recommended to call back, since scammers can use this information to carry out illegal operations to replace the card.
SIM card delivery
As you can see, there is nothing complicated or scary about unlocking an MTS card. And the operator offers several options for this to satisfy the needs of any subscriber.
Blocking a SIM card may be something new for some owners, or perhaps the phone was stolen or lost, then you can block the card yourself. This is necessary for security reasons. You can also block a number if communication services are not needed at a certain moment. The operator blocks a telephone number, as a rule, for several reasons. Depending on how and why the number was blocked, the methods of unblocking are also different.
Reasons for blocking
There is one common cause, which can be highlighted in the question of why the blocking was made. Simply enter your PIN code incorrectly three times in a row and the number will be automatically blocked. Of course, to avoid this, you can disable the PIN code entry function and the problem will be solved, or rather, will not arise at all.
If the card is blocked due to the PIN code, then you should look for the PACK code. It should be on the box from starter pack. At incorrect input If you use this password 10 times, the number will be completely blocked and then you will have to change it to a new one. But if you come to a Beeline communication salon and explain the reason, the employees can renew the number and SIM card.
To understand how to unlock your phone, you need to understand why it was locked. As an option, you can contact the Beeline support service using the short number 0611, and then wait for a connection with the manager. Another way to find out the reason is to go to a communication store. The salon manager will be able to provide information and tell you what to do with the card. If you can unlock it, then you need to do the following:
- You should take the passport of the person in whose name the SIM card is registered and come to the Beeline communication salon. If this is a SIM card of another subscriber, you need to come with him. It is important to take into account that if the person for whom the number is registered is not there, then it will not be possible to unblock it.
- In the call center, tell the manager about the problem and note that calls have already been made to hotline, where they said that unlocking is possible.
- After this, the salon employee will suggest ways to unlock it.
It is also possible to highlight following reasons Beeline number blocking:
- For a long time no one used the number, as a result there was automatic blocking. This is possible if not a single one has been done for six months outgoing call. Passive use(only for incoming calls) is not provided by Beeline. If you contact the salon with a request to renew your package, the subscriber may receive a negative response.
It may not be possible to unblock a number if this number is already in use by another person.
- A blocked number, perhaps due to an unpaid debt. This is possible if funds were taken out on credit for communications, but the amount was not repaid on time.

Your cell phone number or Beeline SIM card may be inactive because it is blocked both by the user himself and by the telecom operator, and how you can unblock the use of the phone depends on the type of blocking. Today we will talk about types of blocking telephone numbers Beeline, in what cases it may be necessary to block a SIM card, as well as how to unblock and restore use of services using your number.
Reasons for blocking
There are several reasons why a Beeline SIM card can be blocked, and depending on the type of blocking, how to unblock the number depends.
One of the most common species Number blocking is a financial problem that every subscriber of any type has encountered at least once in their life. mobile operator. The reason is that the balance on the cell phone has run out of funds, or it has gone into negative territory. Unblocking a Beeline SIM card in this case is very easy, and you just need to top up your balance to a positive value.
Among the reasons why a number may be blocked is the lack of action on it for long term. This period may differ depending on the tariff package, but in most cases this occurs after six months of non-use of communication services.
Sometimes users are faced with the situation of using a new but invalid Beeline SIM card. Despite the fact that the Beeline SIM card has not yet been used, it is impossible to unlock it. This is due to the fact that the card of any cellular operator has an activation period, and this information is usually indicated on the packaging.
After expiration, the number can be reissued by the operator and put on sale with a new SIM card. Therefore, we strongly recommend that when purchasing a Beeline SIM card not from official dealers find out if it is active at the time of purchase.
You can block a Beeline SIM card using at will, which is convenient not only in unexpected situations. Yes, you can block your number at certain time if you plan not to use it for a long time. This is especially true when using tariff packages with mandatory payments, and a temporary block will stop the accrual of such payments.

Also, do not confuse the blocking of a Beeline SIM card by the operator with a situation where the user has forgotten the PIN code, or is required to enter the ME code on the phone.
In the first case, you need to contact the operator from a different number and recover your password for the SIM card. Don't try to enter the PUK code at random if you don't remember it, as your SIM card may be completely blocked and will need to be restored.
The second situation relates to blocking not a number, but a SIM card slot in Beeline phones. If you want to use the device with a card from any cellular operator, you will need to flash it.
Unlock
What should be done if a SIM card with a Beeline number is blocked depends on the reason for the blocking. Let's start with what to do if the SIM card is blocked by Beeline itself. So, if the problem is financial, then it is enough to top up the balance. However, in this case, it is worth considering that the amount required to unlock depends on the tariff package used.
On some tariff packages Beeline, mostly archived, you can unlock a SIM card by topping up the balance with an amount that includes the cost of use even for those days when the number was disconnected for non-payment.
Please note that you can log into your Beeline personal account even if the number is blocked. The only exception is when the number is completely disabled by the operator. The main thing is to remember your login password. Get New Password Without access to a SIM card, you won’t be able to find out the number of a blocked Beeline SIM card.
If you used the blocking yourself, you can unblock a Beeline number, including a corporate number, by contacting the operator. This can be done through the support service at 8800 700 0611, or in the operator’s salon.
If the blocking was due to the loss or theft of a SIM card, then unblock new map with your Beeline number is not necessary, since it will be active a few minutes after receiving it.
Conclusions
If you need to unblock a Beeline number, then you need to consider what is causing the blocking. So, if the number is disconnected for non-payment, then you just need to top up your account to a positive value. If the operator has blocked the number after using it for a long time, then access will not be restored.
To unblock a number after disabling the provision of services at your own request, you must contact your operator. To do this, you can come to any Beeline salon, or call by phone. If after blocking the subscriber received new sim ku, then no additional actions are required.
