Sometimes, dialing a mobile phone number, instead of beeps, you can hear the answering machine's phrase: "This type of communication is not available to the subscriber." What does this mean and is it possible in this case to contact the person you need?
The first thing you need to know is that in the phrase "This type of communication is not available for the subscriber" the word "subscriber" does not mean you, but the one you are calling. With your phone, most likely, everything is in order, otherwise you would have heard the message that "there are not enough funds in your account …".
In most cases, the answering machine "This type of communication is not available for the subscriber" means that the person you are calling does not have enough funds in the account to receive the call. This often happens in cases when a person is in roaming (for incoming calls in such cases, a fee is charged), and the balance on his number is close to zero. If you suspect that your potential interlocutor may be on a trip, you can send him an sms. Receiving incoming messages in roaming is most often free of charge, and it is possible that they will be able to answer you - often a small amount on the account still allows you to send short messages. Most often, a message about the unavailability of this type of communication for a subscriber can be heard if you call MTS subscribers.
Receiving incoming messages is also unavailable for the subscriber if your interlocutor is “in the red” - and the period during which it was necessary to replenish the balance has already expired (or the “minus” is too long). In this case, operators temporarily block subscribers, and receiving incoming calls becomes unavailable for them. After replenishing the balance on the account, unlocking occurs automatically. Therefore, if you desperately need to talk to a person, and you are ready to pay for it, you can independently replenish his phone account. True, if your interlocutor has a tariff with a monthly subscription fee, and he forgot to pay it on time, only full payment of the bill can help.
The message "This type of communication is not available for the subscriber" can be heard in cases where the owner of the SIM card himself, voluntarily temporarily blocked his number, or receiving incoming calls. This is sometimes done during long trips abroad (in order to save on roaming charges or not pay a monthly fee for the absence), as well as if the phone is lost or stolen. In this case, it will most likely not be possible to contact your interlocutor at this number until he decides to unlock the phone.
And the last reason why instead of beeps you can hear an answering machine is a malfunction of the cellular operator. They are usually short-lived. In this case, just call back again in a few minutes - and, perhaps, you will be able to talk.
