Step 1
In particular, this applies to all kinds of mailings and services from short numbers provided for money. When using such services, the phone bill melts before our eyes. And the user does not always know where his funds are going. To clarify this issue, a call to the operator will help, who will trace to which numbers large amounts are debited from your phone.
Step 2
As a rule, this situation occurs when you go to various links or register on sites where your number may be required in order to send an access code to it. As a result, you may not receive the code and lose your own money from the account for a number of unknown services rendered to you.
Step 3
Your operator is unlikely to be able to disable such functions, since they are provided by other services. But he will give recommendations for action. For example, he may advise you to enable a ban on all incoming messages from paid short numbers. For which you will be asked to send an SMS with the text "STOP" or "STOP" to the number to which your funds are debited. The request to number 7052 to confirm the cancellation of all subscriptions from this number works perfectly. For the same purpose, you can call the toll-free number 8-800-100-7337 and state your request. During this call, you do not have to worry about the state of your account: in this case, you will not be charged for the call.
Step 4
Then call 0858 and, following the prompts of the electronic autoinformer, set a ban on sending and receiving messages from short service numbers. To do this, you will need to activate the CPA Black and White Lists service. A few minutes after submitting your request, you will receive a message stating that your application has been accepted. The service itself will be provided within 24 hours.
Step 5
If you want to disable SMS from other mobile users, you can do this by setting a ban on incoming messages. A similar function can be found in the phone settings. Or blacklist unwanted numbers. All cellular operators provide this service for a small monthly fee.
