Paid content is a problem for any mobile user, and the main reason is that paid content is not just offered by various operators, but they are beginning to impose. One of the examples is "Ordering content" from Beeline by number 9931. What is the peculiarity of this service and how to disable it?
What is "Ordering content" from Beeline
"Content ordering" is a specialized service from the Beeline operator, within which the user is offered constant promotional offers for connecting various paid subscriptions to an active number.
Simply put, Beeline literally forcibly forces the user to connect a variety of content services provided by the operator's partners. This usually happens through intrusive ads, hidden buttons, or via push notifications.
The main content includes the following types of paid subscriptions:
- Horoscopes for one or not all signs every day.
- Tips on recipes and cooking in general.
- Jokes and anecdotes.
- News of any kind (news of a certain city, sports news, politics, etc.).
In fact, there can be very, very many such subscriptions, but the most important thing to understand is that a user can accidentally connect this unnecessary function, and then not notice how a small amount of money is debited from the account.
Subscription prices 9931
The cost of the "Paid Content" service can be different, since it directly depends on the type and type of content, as well as on how often the content appears on the phone. Many "victims" of such "machinations" say that service 9931 takes 5-24 rubles from them for every day. It seems that these are small and inconspicuous amounts, but in a month it can run from 150 to 720 rubles. But these are more serious numbers.
in order to find out the list of connected paid services, just call 0611.
Peculiarities of deactivation of service 9931
There are several effective methods that can save a user from paid useless spam. The most basic and commonly used are these four methods:
Call the short number 0611 and explain the situation to the operator. You also need to ask the operator to tell you about all the paid services available on the phone at the time of contact. After that, you must ask to disable all paid options and services.
The second method is to completely block mailings of content that contains ads. This method will be a good prevention in case the list of services has changed in the tariff plan.
In the event that it was not possible to get through to the call center, you can use the third method, that is, do everything yourself. It is enough just to disable the services "Chameleon", which is responsible for paid content, using the USSD-command "* 110 * 20 #".
And the last working method that many users use is to contact the user's personal account. The method will be effective if the person has either the Beeline application, or he is authorized on the official website of the company. The user just needs to go to the personal account "Beeline". In the LC, you need to find a section called "Services", then go to the "Connected" subsection and select "My subscriptions" there. Among "My subscriptions" you need to find the "Chameleon" service and deactivate it. All the same actions can be performed, if necessary, with all other unfamiliar services.
All these methods work and will be able to help the owner of the Beeline SIM card to disable the service for the provision of paid content.
Another way to disable paid advertising content is to use a specific phone number. The user only needs to call 06747220. This number automatically, without additional actions on the part of the user, disables any mailing of advertisements and advertising personal recommendations. True, this automatic number is in most cases unavailable for incoming calls, but it is still worth trying to call it.
In the event that the methods described above did not bring any positive result, it makes sense to go to the nearest Beeline cellular salon and ask that all paid services be turned off, and turned off right now, in the presence of the subscriber.
You can also request an urgent registration of a new personal SIM card at the branch of a cellular operator, in which at the very start of its use there will be bans on various advertising mailings, horoscopes, guides and mailings.
In this case, the user does not have to worry about the fact that he will have a new number. The employees of the communication salon will be able to leave the previous phone number. Thus, you can not be afraid of the inconvenience associated with changing the phone number.
Instead of a conclusion
In general, one of the main advice for those users who would not like to lose money due to paid mailings, news and forecasts is to be careful when entering a mobile phone number on any third-party Internet resources. It is best, of course, not to enter any numbers at all, unless there is an urgent need to do so.
To ensure the security of your number and personal financial, you should be as skeptical as possible both to the registration process and to the button for consent to the processing of personal data, because any of these buttons may hide the user's permission to connect partner services.
