There are many reasons that can force us to disable the long distance access on our phone. This, for example, the presence of small children who can, while playing, dial a long-distance number or rent out housing to tenants. There are two ways to protect yourself from the huge telephone bills for long distance calls.
Necessary
- - the passport;
- - contract for the provision of telephone services;
- - statement.
Instructions
Step 1
The first method is to completely turn off the intercity exit, that is, as the people say, turn off the eight.
Step 2
To do this, you need to come to the office of the operator that provides you with telephone services (if we are talking about a landline phone, then to the regional telephone center). The address of the district hub must be specified in the contract for the provision of a telephone line. It is the family member for whom this agreement was drawn up should go.
Step 3
You must take with you an identity document (passport) and your copy of the contract for the provision of communication services. In some organizations, a document on the ownership of the apartment and a marriage certificate may still be required. It is best to find out a complete and accurate list of documents that may be required in advance by calling the office of “your” company. Her phone number can be found in the connection agreement or in payment documents.
Step 4
In the office itself, you just have to inform about your intention to turn off the intercity exit and write a corresponding statement.
Step 5
As a rule, this service is paid. Although there are some organizations that disconnect the eight for free, charging money only for connecting it back. This, however, as well as the cost of the service, should also be inquired in advance.
Step 6
After the application is written, be sure to find out under what conditions the intercity exit will be connected back to you. The fact is that some organizations connect the eight automatically 6 months after it was turned off.
Step 7
As a rule, the very next day after submitting the application, the long-distance access from your phone is blocked.
Step 8
The second way is encoding. That is, the code is set to eight. It works as follows. You need to call you long distance or cell phone, enter the connection code of the figure eight, finish the conversation, enter the code for its disconnection.
Step 9
In order to make the encoding, you need to do the same thing as when you disable it. The only difference is in the content of the statement.
