The name of the call barring service speaks for itself, but it is a really useful option that not everyone knows about. It allows you to prohibit incoming or outgoing calls, for example, international format or others, which will help to avoid unwanted communication costs.
If you need to receive such calls again, you just need to read the information on how to disable call barring on Megaphone.
Description of the Call Barring service from Megafon?
Call barring can affect one aspect or bar all calls without exception at once. For example, if you leave your phone for another person to use, you can set a ban so that he only calls from his SIM card and does not receive your calls. When you return and pick up your mobile, just turn off this ban and that's it.
Prohibitions can be of these types:
- any outgoing communication;
- outgoing calls while abroad (you can only make calls to Russia and the host country);
- any international calls (or from a specific country);
- all incoming;
- incoming, which are related to foreign GSM networks;
- any calls other than emergency services;
- all by fax type;
- all by the type of voice communication;
- everything except fax and voice.
The call barring service is not compatible with call forwarding. They are mutually exclusive.

When can we use a feature like outgoing call barring? Even at first glance, there are not so few such situations. For example, you bought your young child his first mobile phone so that you know where he is. However, our child can accidentally call some "hotline for adults" for $ 10 per minute and cause serious damage to the family budget. Or you have a grandmother who always wants to contact her school friend in another country every day and talk for an hour. Or maybe you yourself, while in roaming, do not want to accidentally call home.
General ways
Consider the methods that can be used to implement the call barring of an outgoing call. Let's immediately decide that it is worth separating this feature, which applies to the phone as a whole, and a separate SIM-card. In the first case, the settings are made in the settings of the communicator itself. To activate call barring (outgoing call), most often it is enough to dial ** 33 * phone password #. The required code is set separately, in most cases in the menu items: "Settings" - "Security", and, accordingly, "Phone password". Please remember that this is different from the SIM card code and is a separately configurable function. After entering this combination, you will not be able to make outgoing calls at all. Now let's tell you how to disable outgoing call barring. To do this, just dial the following combination: # 33 * phone password #. You can check the status of the ban using the command * # 33 #. In addition, all mobile operators provide the Outgoing Call Barring service. Taking advantage of this innovation, you get the ability to completely block outgoing calls, or selectively disable international calls or roaming. Now let's look at the functions of barring outgoing calls for the most common

Common reasons for "opt-out"
The provider has the right to impose certain restrictions on subscribers within the framework of the contract concluded when purchasing a SIM card. There can be several reasons for the ban on outgoing calls, and the most common is a banal lack of money on the account. At the same time, depending on the specific tariff and provider, restrictions are occasionally imposed even on intranet connections.
Also, for a number of reasons, the user of networks may not have access to a long distance. In some regions, GSM mobile communications work selectively - for example, only for those registered in the area. There are also incidents with outages and in the event of a failure of the SIM-card that has served its due date (over 7 years).
Non-standard conditions of restrictions
Some situations related to limiting outgoing communication may not be clear to everyone. We are talking about concepts such as:
- roaming. In roaming, not only outgoing calls, but also incoming calls can be prohibited. In the case of some operators, the caller may also hear about restrictions on outgoing calls, although in fact the recipient is blocked;
- attack. It happens that scammers, using the latest technical innovations, intercept the streams of the operator's lines and use other people's phones for flooding, fake registrations and other illegal frauds. The attacked phone is completely blocked until the circumstances are clarified on all counts, including calls;
- password. If you use someone else's (for example, corporate) device, it may be "password-protected". When trying to make a call, the caller will hear a corresponding message;
- Stop call. Some operators offer a call limiting service so that a person can stick to a given budget while keeping money directly in the account without the need for frequent top-ups.
Methods for dealing with constraints
There are several ways to remove the ban on outgoing communication, depending on the reasons for blocking. For example, in the case of an "empty" balance, it is enough to replenish the account. But if everything is clear with the financial side, then in other situations it is necessary to clarify the details with the operator.
Each of them has a hot line, where you should call with a question. If you can't get through there, although there is coverage, the connection of this provider is active in the region, but not for everyone. Therefore, you will have to look for a branch of the operator service, which can be difficult to do. But if you still managed to get through, follow the instructions.
Most Popular Reasons: Operator Rankings
- Tele 2. Has no clear blocking regulations available to users. A call to 611 will allow you to establish the circumstances, but to help in this matter, you will need to provide the passport details of the SIM card holder.
- Megaphone. You can call the technical support in two ways: from a mobile - 0500 or to the hotline 8-800-550-0500. The most common reason here is the insufficient amount on the deposit (stipulated in the contract).
- MTS. Except for isolated cases, the customers of this operator hear a recording informing about the reasons for the blocking, so the question of what is wrong with the network can be answered fairly objectively. MTS also offers a service of deliberate blocking of outgoing calls, ranked by several types. They are activated using USSD commands: a call by numbers with asterisks and sharps, and therefore, although scanty, there is a chance to enable the service by mistake. You can contact the support service by calling tel. 8-800-250-0890 (free throughout the Russian Federation) or 0890 (from MTS phones).
- BVK. BaikalVestTelecom is also guided by the "ban" rules not fully understood by consumers. The site of this provider offers customers support services 000 (from BVK numbers) and 89025-113-113, as well as 767 - for paid (3 rubles / min.) Consultations. Apparently, there is a hint that the free consultation does not shine with quality.
But whatever the nuances of a call to an operator, in most cases this is the only way to find out why outgoing calls are blocked, as well as to remove the restriction.
