What does it mean?

A communication restriction imposed by a telecom operator means inability to make outgoing calls from mobile devices, except for emergency calls.

Also superimposed ban on sending outgoing SMS... In some cases, communication restriction also blocks incoming calls to the subscriber's phone, which is subject to communication restriction.

Why is there a problem?

The main reason for limiting communication is common "Minus" balance of the personal account subscriber when there is not enough money even for the connection.

In this case, the mobile operator acts in accordance with the concluded agreement between the company and the user, that is, it blocks any outgoing calls and SMS.

Subscribes when buying a SIM card, and although rarely anyone reads it carefully, usually the text of the agreement contains a mention of the limitation of communication in such a case.

Also reason for restriction communication can be:

• failure of the SIM card due to the expiration of its validity period;
• in some cases - barring calls to the number of a subscriber in roaming;
• The "glitch" of the electronics of the mobile phone itself.

Non-standard conditions

However, sometimes communication restrictions can be imposed by the owner of the SIM card or the operator for non-standard reasons.

1. Service connected Stop Call, when a monthly limit is set on the number of minutes agreed and, accordingly, the funds spent.
2. Restrictions are common at corporate numbers. Outgoing calls to some destinations may be barred. For example, a SIM card holder can create whitelists of numbers that a phone user can call. Thus, corporate communication costs are limited.
3. Some operators offer a restriction for incoming calls to phones located in roaming. In this case, by calling such a phone number, you can hear a message about the restriction of communication, although in fact calls are blocked for the receiving party.
4. Quite a rare but common reason - scam attack... When the subscriber's phone number is used for illegal actions in the cellular network. In this case, the communication for the subscriber is blocked and he hears the same message about the restriction of communication.

Ways to lift the ban

When communication restriction is detected necessary:

Control methods

If the above methods did not help and even the operator himself does not know the reason for the prohibition or cannot help to deal with the problem, then perhaps it lies in the "hardware" the phone itself or its software.

Often, a simple restart of the phone or a change can help to remove the problem. mobile devicewhen the SIM card is placed in another phone.

If this does not help, then you need to either change the operator, or connect a virtual PBX, with which you can make free calls to any phone numbers in the world.

Mobile communication is an integral part of human life. Without it, we can no longer work and just live, but it so happens that sometimes Megaphone reports that a certain communication limitation has been established. For many people, it is very important to solve this problem as quickly and efficiently as possible, because sometimes a lot depends on the connection.

Why is there a problem?

If a connection restriction is set, then this means that Megafon has restricted various outgoing calls from subscribers. Basically, this service is used by companies and organizations that want to reduce their costs for mobile communications and do not want employees to call outside of work during business hours.

This service includes three options:

1. the limitation is carried out only within the selected office;
2. "white" and "black" lists are connected;
3. it is prohibited to order services from short numbers.

Subscribers choose the appropriate option on their own.

More about restrictions

If we are talking about restricting communication on the "black" list, then it is forbidden to make calls to certain numbers or entire directions. For example, it has been established that employees cannot call abroad or other cities.

If we talk about "white" lists, then employees can call certain directions or numbers that are allowed. In some cases, only the numbers indicated by the client in Megafon are added to the "white" list. Both types of lists can be defined for each employee of the company individually or in groups. It should also be noted that these restrictions apply only for a certain period of time (hours, days, weeks, and so on). You can also create a special personal schedule for such a connection.

When limiting communication at the office level, Megafon, at the request of the subscriber, limits the number of outgoing employees of the company, depending on his location. In other words, in the event that a subscriber leaves the office territory, then they then cease to operate. The operator can simultaneously offer customers several of these zones. In addition, it is proposed to limit calls by time for one or more numbers and the like.

The ban on short numbers means “closing” all outgoing requests for various paid and free short numbers. This applies to those numbers to which the Megafon coverage card does not apply. This is a very convenient solution in cases when company employees order different content.

Price and connection

The cost of this Megafon service for all three items (which are listed above) is only 50 rubles. The fee is charged monthly on the first day. However, you will have to pay an additional 30 rubles for activating the service. To connect or disconnect this service it is necessary to visit a service center that works with corporate clients. But before that, it is worthwhile to study in detail the conditions for the provision of the service, which can be found on the operator's website. It should be noted that such restrictions apply only to outgoing requests. It is impossible to order this service in roaming. Also, this does not apply to sending SMS messages. This service is only available in corporate rates Megaphone.

Sometimes you can call a subscriber and hear that certain restrictions have been set. Basically, this means that he does not have enough money in his account or that communication is allowed only in a certain territory. In order to fully understand this, you need to talk to mobile operators.
