Thanks to the answering machine, you will not miss important calls and messages, and the MTS called service will help you to receive detailed information about missed calls when your phone was turned off or out of the network coverage area. Each subscriber has the ability to install an answering machine on MTS. For this, a whole set of relevant services is presented on the network:
- Voice Mail (basic);
- "Voice mail";
- "Voice Mail +".
But some subscribers stubbornly call voice mail the “Answering machine” service from MTS. Therefore, we will periodically refer to the monitored services as autoresponders. Let's see how the MTS voice mailboxes differ from each other. We have already considered the management of voice mail on MTS in our articles.
As we have already said, the Autoresponder service is presented in three versions. They differ in their functionality and cost. To begin with, we will consider the "Voice mail (basic)" service.
Service "Voice mail (basic)"
This service really only offers basic functionality. It allows you to save up to 15 voice messages from one subscriber. The storage period for messages, both listened and unheard, is one day. The maximum length of each message is limited to 60 seconds... There is no possibility of recording a personal greeting, and to listen to messages we can use the 0860 voice portal.
The subscription fee for the Voice Mail (basic) service is 0 rubles, there is no connection fee. Calls to 0860 are free of charge. If you want to install an answering machine on MTS, but do not want to overpay for unnecessary functionality, then this service is for you!
Service "Voice mail"
As for the answering machine from MTS represented by the Voice Mail service, here we can see more advanced functionality. Unheard messages are stored for 7 days, listened messages - 10 days, the maximum duration of one message is 90 seconds. The maximum number of messages to leave for each subscriber is 20. It is possible to record your personal greeting, which will be listened to by all callers. Received SMS-notifications has also been implemented. If in the basic version we can listen to messages exclusively from the phone, then in this version there are such possibilities as sending voice messages to e-mail or via MMS.
There is also functionality for accessing voice messages via the web interface. To ensure security, access to the voice box by entering a password has been implemented. The subscription fee for using the service is 2.3 rubles per day, there is no connection fee, calls to 0860 are not charged.
Service "Voice mail +"
This version of the "Answering Machine" service is aimed at the most demanding subscribers. It allows you to store unheard messages for 10 days, and listened to - 14 days. The duration of the recorded messages is up to 120 seconds, the maximum number of messages for one subscriber - up to 30 pcs.... Also implemented are such features as recording a personal greeting, sending SMS notifications, setting a security code and managing the voice box using applications (for iOS and Windows Phone). The subscription fee for using this version of the answering machine is 3.3 rubles / day, there is no connection fee. Calls to 0860 are not charged.
General terms

To manage services (for example, to record greetings and configure other parameters), the web interface or service number 0860 is used. As for personal greetings for the Voice Mail and Voice Mail + services, here you can record a greeting with the name of the caller ... The web interface address is http://www.vm.mts.ru/.

If you are tired of your operator
Guys, we know very well that operators are raising prices and forcing subscribers to connect to services that the latter do not want to use. Fortunately, now there is a great opportunity to go to another operator with your own number. There are virtual operators that provide very good rates and great benefits when porting numbers. One of them is Tinkoff Mobile, which is increasingly chosen by our website visitors.
Many users would like to install an answering machine on their smartphone or tablet with the Android operating system, which would be able to receive a voice call itself when the user cannot do this for any reason: play a predetermined voice message, as well as record a message from an incoming subscriber ... The value of an answering machine for Android for some categories of users can hardly be overestimated. First of all, this application will be appreciated by business people who are constantly in a hurry and do not always have time to answer the call; this also includes students who are in pairs, but do not want to miss the call; drivers whose hands may be busy driving, and many other categories of users.
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to set up a voice answering machine on Android. In many firmwares of phones and tablets, there are restrictions on recording an incoming call from the line. Whether these recipes will work on your specific device - only a practical check will show. In the meantime, we offer you several options for how you can set up an answering machine on a device with the Android operating system.
Answering machine on Android for HTC smartphone users
If you are the lucky owner of an Android device from the Taiwanese company HTC, running on msm72xx / msm76xx chips, you may be in luck. In HTC smartphones, these chips have a regular driver that can be used to record incoming calls.
Thanks to this driver, the rVoix application works. The program can also work on devices from other companies based on msm72xx / msm76xx chips, in each case it must be checked individually.
For the application to work, you definitely need to get root rights. RVoix can record incoming or outgoing calls in * .mp3 and * .wav formats and work as an answering machine. The application interface is simple and convenient enough that even a beginner could understand it. rVoix writes calls directly from the telephone line, is able to filter calls.
If you have an HTC smartphone on the above chipsets in your hands, rVoix is the simplest and most convenient solution for getting the answering machine function on it.
Answering machine on Android for users of other devices
For those who have a non-HTC Android phone or tablet in use, things get much more complicated. Nevertheless, there are recipes that allow you to acquire a voice answering machine function on such devices. You will now give one of such recipes. Note that due to the limitations of the operating system, as well as proprietary firmware that manufacturers sew into their devices, the performance of this recipe on all Android devices without exception is not guaranteed.
So, to get a voice answering machine on Android, we need the following applications: Tasker, SMS Backup +, Call Recorder, Auto Answer Incoming Call. Note that it is not necessary to obtain root access rights to your Android smartphone in this case. We install the above applications on our device with Android OS, and begin to understand their capabilities.
Auto Answer Incoming Call, as its name implies, can answer incoming calls. In this program, we are most interested in two points: "Don’t Answer if In Call?" and "Delay Before Answer". The first item determines whether the smartphone will answer an incoming call if it arrives at a time when you are already talking with someone, and the second sets the delay time before answering. That is, if you have checked the "Don’t Answer if In Call?" Checkbox, the application will be able to answer the caller on the second line and record a voice message from him. As you can see, with the Auto Answer Incoming Call settings, everything is simple: set the time after which the program itself answers the call, and that's it.
The Call Recorder program, which is clear from its name, is able to record an incoming call. It is also easy to configure. All the user has to do is enter some settings. We must choose from which source the sound will be recorded: from the microphone, from the line, etc., the recording format, as well as its quality (it is recommended to set the maximum immediately). If you wish, you can post a message that a call is being recorded. Also, after each call, the program may ask you if you want to save a record of this conversation.
Do not forget to move the slider at the top of the screen to the "Enabled" position in the main application window, after which the program will notify you that it will now record all further calls.
Next on our list is the SMS Backup + app. The value of this application is that it can synchronize all your calls with the Google calendar, and if you wish, you can go there at any time and check if someone called you. If there are missed calls, you can listen to the voice message left by this subscriber. The application is linked to a Google account, which must previously be configured on your Android device. It is necessary to check the "Auto backup" checkbox and go to the "Advanced settings". Here in the menu item "Backup settings" we indicate that we want to save the call log. After that, select the e-mail style and give the application the ability to sync with your account. If everything went well, your smartphone can pick up the phone and record the incoming call.
The only unresolved issue is the need to leave some kind of voice message to the incoming subscriber before starting the recording. For this, the Tasker program, which has not yet been used by us, will come in handy.
The application is multifunctional and complex in settings; it can be difficult for a beginner to deal with it right away. If you dig into the settings, Tasker allows you to create a task in which the application will play a voice message on an incoming call. A more complex option is when Tasker will pick up the phone when there is an incoming call, turn on the speakerphone, play a pre-recorded voice file to transmit it to the line (these dances with a tambourine are necessary because, as mentioned above, direct sound transmission to the line in the Android system is not possible). After that Tasker can turn off the speakerphone, turn on recording from the line, and also end the call.
Due to the limitations of the OS itself and firmware from different manufacturers, the application may be unstable, users note that sound can be transmitted with distortion, hiss, etc. Check on your smartphone or tablet, try, dare, and may good luck be with you.
A simple version of SMS answering machine for Android
If you do not have great requirements for your answering machine, and all you need is just to know if someone called you, you can use the functionality of the SMS Backup + application described above. Also for this there is a fairly simple, functional and convenient Answering machine application, which can send text messages if you receive an SMS or have a missed call. You can create several options for auto-reply, view the history of events, choose what the message is sent to.
Often people are so worried about not missing an important call that they do not want to go down the subway if there is no network in the subway, or talk to other subscribers on their mobile while waiting for a call. A discharged phone also causes stress - all of a sudden, while it is turned off, a long-awaited call will be missed. If you connect the "Answering Machine" service from Beeline, all these fears can be left behind and depend much less on the circumstances.
Description and cost of the service "Answering machine" Beeline
An answering machine works like a mailbox where voice messages are collected. Users who will call you will hear your greeting, then a beep, after which they can record their message. If the caller does not want to leave a message, you will still know about his call - you will receive an SMS message with the date and time of the missed call.
Before using the answering machine, you need to set up call forwarding to it - without this the service will not work. Redirecting incoming calls to voicemail is possible in the following situations:
- the user is outside the network access area;
- the subscriber's phone is busy;
- the user does not answer the call for a long time;
- the caller wants all incoming calls to go to the answering machine.
You can connect “Autoresponder” on Beeline for free on any tariff plan. Also, listening to voice messages and recording them will be free. But the service is provided for a monthly fee: for users of the prepaid payment system - 1 ruble per day, subscribers of postpaid tariffs will need to pay 21 rubles per month.
Calls to the answering machine and recording of an audio message are charged as regular outgoing calls.
How to connect the Beeline "Answering Machine"?
To take full advantage of this service, you must first deliver it. You can activate the service using special commands:
- to connect an answering machine in Russian - dial the number 067409011, or send a USSD request * 110 * 011 #
- connection in English - call 067409012, or use the command * 110 * 012 #
As in the case of all other options, activation of the "Answering Machine" service is possible in the Personal Account on the Beeline website, through the phone application, at any operator's sales office, as well as in the single USSD menu * 111 #.
Customization
The "Answering Machine" service from Beeline will not work without settings. There is a service number 0600 to control the answering machine.
Initially, it is advisable to set your password of 4-6 digits. The default password is 9999. After that, you need to record your greeting. If you don't, the caller will hear a standard greeting.
The most basic thing is to set up call forwarding, indicate in which case incoming calls will be received on the answering machine. To do this, you need to type one of the following commands:
- If the subscriber is offline - ** 62 * 0600 #
- If the phone is busy - ** 67 * 0600 #
- If the subscriber does not answer - ** 61 * 0600 # or ** 61 * 0600 ** time_interval #
- Forwarding all incoming calls - ** 21 * 0600 #
The default time interval is 30 seconds. You can set a more convenient time interval - from 5 to 25 seconds in increments of 5 seconds.
You can reset the settings and cancel the set forwarding using the USSD command ## 002 #.
When setting up multiple call forwarding, Beeline is considered the main forwarding of all calls.
How do I use an answering machine?
To listen to the answering machine, call 0600 and follow the prompts in the voice menu. Depending on what commands you need, enter the corresponding numbers in the menu:
- listen to a voice message - 1
- save the listened message - 4
- delete unnecessary voice message - 5
- call back the subscriber who left the message - 0
How to disable the "Answering Machine" service on Beeline?
Before disabling the option, make sure that you have listened to all voice messages, because disabling the Auto Answer service will automatically delete all mail.
You can disable the "Answering machine" option using a special command * 110 * 010 #.
In addition, there are a number of universal methods - to disable the service, you can use the subscriber's personal account, a mobile application, or contact a specialist, by phone or in the Beeline communication salon.
The mobile operators themselves call the answering machine service a voice mail service, but this in no way changes the essence of the matter, an answering machine is an answering machine. So I will consider these concepts to be equivalent, do you mind?
Regardless of the mobile operator, to activate the answering machine, you must perform two mandatory steps:
First, set up call forwarding to your operator's answering machine number. This can be done in two ways:
1.use the menu of your mobile phone
2.use one of the USSD requests
regardless of the method chosen above, you also have the opportunity to select the mode in which the incoming call will be forwarded to the answering machine you have configured:
- always, regardless of whether your phone is on or not. In this mode, you will be able to receive and send SMS and MMS, including receiving messages about the receipt of new messages on the answering machine, and make outgoing calls, if necessary.
- only when the phone is turned off or out of network coverage
- after the specified time has elapsed, during which you do not pick up the handset. The time can be set from 5 to 30 seconds. In my opinion, this is a variation of the first mode with the ability to choose to answer the caller or give him the opportunity to record his message on the answering machine.
And secondly, you need to activate the voice mail service of your operator and record a voice greeting. This procedure is different for each operator.
I must say, my experience shows that with the latter mode, not every caller leaves a message on an answering machine. And there are also callers who only call back after five minutes, obviously, having collected their thoughts.
Using an answering machine wisely can save you time, but it can cost you some bewilderment for callers. So you should carefully weigh the pros and cons before using an answering machine on one of your numbers.
The payment for using the answering machine service can be roughly divided into the following four components:
Call forwarding service activation cost (one-time)
Cost of an outgoing call to the answering machine number (for each call)
The cost of an incoming SMS message for a message received on your answering machine. (for each message, while this service is free for all operators)
Cost of outgoing calls to listen to incoming messages.
Subscription fee for using the answering machine service (may or may not be present with different operators). More details for your Ukrainian mobile operator can be found below:

I hope I have provided enough information to make a decision and successfully set up an answering machine on your phone. In any case, you can ask your questions in the comments.
Every mobile phone user from time to time finds himself in a situation where there is no way to answer an important call. It can be a business meeting or the subscriber himself is out of range. In this case, the answering machine service becomes extremely useful.
