There are times when you do not use a SIM card for a long time, for example, you went on a long business trip or simply did not need this connection temporarily. It is unprofitable for mobile operators to keep an unused number for the owner for years. So, for example, the mobile operator MTS allows more than six months of non-use of the number, in the future it will be put up for sale again.
Necessary
Your identity document, sim card
Instructions
Step 1
If it so happens that you want to use a blocked SIM card (mind you, not more than six months), then you need to apply with a document proving your identity to the nearest customer service center.
Step 2
If this number is not registered to you, then you should not waste time and go to MTS, of course, the exception will be the presence of a power of attorney for carrying out various operations in the MTS company in your name from the owner of the SIM card, and it must be notarized.
Step 3
Do not waste time and bother operators with a request to unlock your SIM card using your phone. An office attendance is a must. It is also impossible to unblock a number via the Internet. You can block it, but to unblock it you will have to visit the office of the cellular operator in person.
