Step 1
The need to unblock phone numbers has increased significantly lately. Many operators are already seriously thinking about introducing into the subscriber's user interface the ability to remotely perform such actions. However, while all this is underway, the need to unblock the phone number remains the same. Today there are two ways, each of which will help you regain access to the use of the SIM card.
Step 2
There is only one way to unblock a phone number today - contact the representative office of your mobile operator in your city. To do this, you only need a passport. In the office, you need to clarify to the manager the reason for blocking your phone number. As a rule, in most cases, SIM card blocking occurs as a result of the non-use of the number by the subscriber. Different mobile operators have different duration of SIM card inactivity before blocking (mainly from three months to six months). After you contact the operator's office, you will be unblocked your existing SIM card, or you will be given a new one, while keeping the old number.
Step 3
If the phone number was issued to another person upon purchase, the situation looks somewhat different. This time, you will have to visit your operator's office with the person for whom the phone number was originally issued. When unlocking a SIM card, it is also necessary to have a passport for the person who, according to the documents, is the owner of the restored number. It should be added that it is not always possible to unblock phone numbers - in rare cases, at the time of your contact with the operator's office, the phone may be registered with the new owner.
