Surely you have ever received a call from an unidentified subscriber, no, it’s not that you don’t know him, but his number was hidden. Many people already know about this function and actively use it.
You can also order the “Anti-determiner” function and call your friends, pranking them and joking. No one will be able to guess which subscriber is calling them, because the digits of your number will be completely hidden and cannot be recognized by a mobile phone.
Why might such a function be needed? Well, firstly, if you don’t want your phone to remain with strangers whom you are forced to call for some business, secondly, if you work in a company, constantly calling clients, and thirdly, if you decide to stay for a while incognito or make fun of friends.
Of course, the anti-identifier does not give a hundred percent guarantee that the person you are calling will ultimately not be able to find out your phone number. But for this you need to spend enough time and opportunities, which the average user will not do, if only out of a sense of laziness.
If you are a subscriber of the mobile operator Megafon, then you can easily activate the “Anti-identifier” service and call other subscribers while remaining incognito. There are several ways to do this, now we will look at each of them.
How to hide a number on a megaphone by sending a ussd request
Most likely, this method is the simplest of all known, since all a subscriber who wants to use this service needs to do is dial a combination of numbers on the keyboard of his phone: * 31 # number of the subscriber you are calling# .
This command provides for only one-time hiding of your phone; if you want to use the service constantly, then you will need to dial the command *848# and press the call key.
The cost of a one-time service is only 5 rubles, while the cost of a minute of conversation remains the same as provided for in your tariff plan. The cost of the service on permanent terms is 30 rubles per month, which is very cheap. Disabling and connecting the service is completely free.
How to make a hidden number on a megaphone through phone settings
There are some phones that support number hiding, but such models are very few. In order to check whether your smartphone can hide you, you need to go to the standard settings and look there for an item called “Calls”, it should have a sub-item “Show/hide number”.
Now, if there is one, you need to go into it and change the parameters from “Defined by the network” to “Hide phone”. In theory it should work, you can check this by first calling the number of your wife, mother, brother or friend. It is worth noting that not all mobile operators support such settings.

If you were unable to use the USSD request, you can also activate this service by contacting the operator by calling 0500. Don't forget that the service only applies to outgoing calls, which means that you will see who is calling you.
Also, other subscribers will be able to call you from their address book; no changes will occur to the number. At a time when you have the “Anti-identifier” function activated and you need to call with the displayed number, you can use the command: * 31 # phone number of the person we are calling# .
Cost and limitations of the service.
As mentioned earlier, the cost of the one-time “Anti-identifier” service is 5 rubles per call + per minute fee, according to the current tariff. The “Unlimited Anti-Determinant” service costs 30 rubles per month. Connection and disconnection are not charged, i.e. free.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to hide your number. Some people want to make fun of their friends, while others want to call based on an ad and not run into a mountain of telephone spam after that. There are quite a few reasons for hiding your number.
If you have a very IMPORTANT or URGENT question, ask!!!
Therefore, all mobile operators provide anti-caller ID service. It is called differently for everyone, but Megafon has exactly that – “Anti-caller ID”. By activating this service, you will hide your number from everyone you call.
How to hide a number on Megafon
You can activate this service, like many others, in many ways, including Service Guide, calling the operator and visiting the Megafon office.
In addition to the service from the mobile operator, there is another option in the phone itself, which not everyone knows about. Simply go to the settings and disable the “Transfer number to subscriber” option. The only negative is that this will not always work, but if you combine this option with the operator’s service, then it will be impossible to find out your number in any way. Megafon also provides the opportunity to hide a number without connecting services; you just need to dial the combination “#31#” before the subscriber’s number in international format. Then this call will be with a hidden number, and the call without additional characters will be as usual. If you need to make a lot of calls while hiding your number, then it will be easier to activate the service itself, which will hide your number for the entire duration of its activation. The AntiAON service is paid - 5 rubles per day and 10 rubles for connection. Disabling the service will be free. You can activate the service using USSD requests “*105*501#” or “*105*3*2*3*1*1#” - they are equivalent. After a few minutes (most often almost instantly), you will receive an SMS in response notifying you that the service has been activated.
How to recognize a hidden Megafon number
There is also bad news for AntiAON fans. It consists of a service that allows you to determine the number, even if it is hidden. This service is also paid and is connected through Megafon offices. But you can still hide your number - if you enable the option to hide your number on your phone and activate AntiAON, then this service will be powerless. However, it will still be possible to find out your number using account details. The details will indicate all numbers, including hidden ones (except for unanswered calls). Therefore, there is no way to hide the number from very inquisitive people, since mobile operators still know who is calling whom and when.

In the life of any person, situations arise when you need to call, but you don’t want to “show off” your phone number. For example, when searching for the desired product or service through advertisements. In this case, the contact number becomes available to a large number of strangers. However, cellular service providers leave the option for subscribers to make anonymous calls. To understand the algorithm of actions, you can figure out how to hide a number on Beeline.
Service for hiding a number
The incoming call identification (CID) service is included as standard in most tariff plans. The service is provided and maintained free of charge. If the identifier does not work on the current number, you can activate it in the following way:
- Take advantage of the opportunity to manage services from the “Personal Account” on the company website.
- Dial command *110*061#.
- Leave a request for connection 0674 090 61.
Important! The service is connected for an indefinite period, deactivated at the request of the subscriber.
The anti-caller ID on Beeline has the opposite function. The option is designed to hide the outgoing call, so the caller will remain incognito. You can activate this service like this:
- Personal Area. After authorization on the provider’s website, the user gets access to managing the capabilities of the tariff plan. To do this, you need to find a tab with available options in your “Personal Account” and connect AntiAON;
- free call. You can activate the hidden number service by calling 0674 090 71;
- request. You can hide the number by dialing *110*071#.

Important! The anti-identifier applies to all outgoing calls, including internet calls and calls to landline devices.
Peculiarities
When AntiAON is enabled, funds are debited from the subscriber’s personal account. In this case, the connection/disconnection procedure is not charged. The cost of the service directly depends on the tariff plan calculation system. In particular, on prepaid tariffs there is a daily charge of 3.7 rubles, for other packages the subscription fee is 88 rubles/month.

It is worth noting that this option is valid for one time; when you call again, the combination is repeated.
In addition, the ability to hide your number is not an absolute guarantee of anonymity. On Beeline there is a “Super Identifier” option, which displays absolutely all incoming calls. You can activate this service like this:

Conclusion
The feasibility of being able to remove your number and call while remaining incognito is highly questionable. However, Beeline specialists note that the option is quite popular and is in stable demand. The only drawback of this service is the subscription fee, which does not exclude the possibility that the phone number can still be recognized.
Sometimes it happens that you need to make an anonymous call. Some people use a second SIM card for this, the number of which is not exactly recorded by the second subscriber. Others are looking for all possible ways to make the necessary call without resorting to the first method without being exposed.
“Yellow-black” subscribers can rightfully call their connection the best, because they only need to understand how to hide the number on Beeline, and the operator will do the rest for them. It turns out that absolutely any call can be made anonymously. This is convenient in cases where, for example, you are offended or some company does not answer your calls on principle.
The fact that such a function exists is undeniable. Probably not only Beeline users know about it. However, the only remaining question is how to make the number hidden. There is nothing complicated about this, you just need to activate the “Anti-identifier” service, which is also called “AntiAON”.
True, many people make a rather offensive mistake, mistaking “AntiAON” for “AON”. The first function hides the phone number, the second shows it. This may be incomprehensible to many, but even here everything is quite simple. “AON” is an auto-identifier. Essentially, it connects automatically to every SIM card from the very first day of its use.
If suddenly the numbers on your phone have never been identified, this does not mean that everyone you know has Beeline with a service that hides the number. Perhaps the definition didn't work for you initially. You can enable it as follows:
- Using USSD, you need to dial * 110 * 061 # on your phone keypad.
- Make a call to 067409061.
Everything is completely free, so you don’t have to worry about your account balance.
To make your number hidden, the subscriber must activate the AntiAON service.
How to hide it?
If everything is clear with the definition, then how to become anonymous? Hidden number is easier than it seems.
To connect, you can use one of several methods:
- Using USSD, dial * 110 * 071 # on the keyboard.
- Call 067409071.
The service is paid, so sometimes subscribers want to turn it off. To call and be displayed on the interlocutor’s screen other than as an “Unidentified number”, you need to dial the following command * 110 * 070 #. If it seems to you that everything has been done correctly, but no changes have occurred, then it is best to find out about the service connection status through the command * 110 * 09 #.
You can also activate the service directly on the company’s official website. From the home page, you need to go to your personal account, from where redirection to the required resource will already be configured.
When the option is activated, the subscriber will not see your number, but instead a message will be displayed on the screen, as in this image.
Payment
The AntiAON service will cost the user only 88 rubles if you connect it for monthly use. One-time use is also provided - 3.77 rubles. The connection and disconnection itself is absolutely free.
It is worth noting that there are also tariff programs that provide for a complete absence of payment for using this service. At the same time, it is subject to unlimited use. You can find out more about this on the website or by calling 0611.
Selective Stealth
It is worth noting that there are also options for this service that assume your complete anonymity when making calls. That is, the number will remain hidden even for your loved ones, in front of whom you don’t really want to hide. For such cases, a special insert is provided, which is written before the number of the second subscriber. It looks like this: * 31 # phone_number.
True, it is worth understanding that “AntiAON” is not a panacea. One has only to send an SMS to the second subscriber and everything secret will become clear. Therefore, do not forget that the service is relevant only for the “caller” and not the “writer”.
Can a hidden number be recognized?
It would be unfair if a mobile operator provided the opportunity to hide a phone number, but did not provide services for viewing it. Fortunately, Beeline is okay with this, because there is a “Super Caller ID”.
Yes, any user can find out who is calling under an anonymous name.
You can connect in two ways:
- USSD request by number * 110 * 4161 #.
- Call number 06744161.
You can finish using the service as follows:
- USSD request by number * 110 * 4160 #.
- Call number 06744160.
Connection, as well as disconnection, is absolutely free, which cannot be said about use. The subscriber pays 50 rubles per day, and 1,500 per month, respectively.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that this function is quite useful; it involves the complete exclusion of discrimination against an individual subscriber. But you should understand that if a conversation doesn’t go well with a large company, then they most likely have a service activated that forcibly identifies the caller’s number.
