Often in our lives situations arise when we do not want to communicate with a certain person or organization, but we cannot say it directly, because we are embarrassed or because it is no longer useful to say it. It is in such situations that the blacklist function will be very useful for anyone.
How to add any subscriber to the blacklist? It's actually very simple. First, you need to familiarize yourself with the functionality of your phone. Many modern models have a special blacklist function, which can be located in two places.
How to add a subscriber to the blacklist through the address book
You can add the subscriber's number, as well as any other numbers, to the blacklist directly in address book. To do this, you need to view information about the contact and call with the key extra menu. If this function is not in your address book, then you can try it through your phone settings.
How to add a subscriber to the blacklist through phone settings
In your phone settings, you need to go to the “Calls” or “Calls” section. Then you should go to the “Phone Protection” subsection. This is where you can still find the blacklist function on many older phones. You can even create a group of blacklisted subscribers, and these people will simply never call you again, they will hear short beeps, as if you were talking on the phone all the time.
How to add a subscriber to the blacklist if you do not have such functions on your phone? In fact, this is also as easy as shelling pears; it can be done through your cellular operator. But such services usually cost a small amount of money. If you're willing to spend money to avoid talking to an annoying person or company, then go for it. First, call the operator and ask about the availability of such a service and its cost. If the cost of the service is quite satisfactory to you, then you can find out how to use this very service.
To use this service from MTS you do not have to install any applications on your cellular telephone, which, you see, is very convenient. You can blacklist up to three hundred numbers, which is a lot. Even if the person annoying you activates the AntiAON service on his number, he still will not be able to call you, since the system will automatically block the call.
To activate the blacklist service on MTS, you need to dial the following combination of numbers on your cell phone:
- *111*442# for ordinary subscribers;
- *111*443# for legal entities.
You can also send an SMS message to number 111, writing 442*1 in the message field, and follow the operator’s prompts to continue connecting. If you are uncomfortable using any of these methods or simply don’t want to, then you can always add or remove a service using a computer, using the Internet assistant from MTS. The cost of the “Black List” service is one and a half rubles per day. Agree, this is a very small amount for peace and comfort. Good luck!
Many people remember that in those days when there was no mobile communications, in every city in the country it was possible to look up the number of the desired person in a special directory, or find out by calling him, giving his last name and home address. There are no such directories for mobile communications, but this does not prevent the spread of spam calls, or from subscribers whom you would not want to hear.
However, if your number has become known to an unwanted person, then it is not necessary to purchase a new SIM card, since you can blacklist the annoying caller’s number on your phone.
Today we’ll tell you about the blacklist of phone numbers: how you can add subscribers to it for free, is it possible to limit unwanted SMS with it, and what are the advantages paid services from mobile operators.
How to limit for free
All modern phones allow you to use restrictions on receiving calls without using paid services of cellular operators. Therefore, if you just need to get rid of individual annoying interlocutors, then the free option makes it easy to cope with this task. This function is available on both Android and iOS starting from version seven.
In order to blacklist a specific number on your phone for free, just select it in the list of incoming calls and open details about it. After this, you need to select the option that allows you to add the number to the blacklist.
Please note that you can add numbers unknown to you to the blacklist on your phone for free, and not just those you added to your contacts.
Depending on the phone you use, the blocking list for calls from unwanted numbers may work differently. When this person calls your cell phone, he will hear short beeps or a busy signal that appears after the first regular ring. This makes it easy to determine that a phone number has been blacklisted.
On Android you can also blacklist all numbers you don't know. To do this, in the call settings you need to go to the call rejection section and check the box next to the “unknown” item.
Please note that the ban will apply to both voice calls and messages. And here it is worth mentioning one more feature. If during a call a person may think that he cannot get through due to communication problems, then he can find out that the number is actually available by sending an SMS. Although you won't see messages from blocked numbers on your phone, the sender will receive a delivery notification.
Operator services
All mobile operators charge a fee for using the service limiting calls from certain phone numbers. However, they may have both advantages and disadvantages over hardware locking.
The main advantage is information. When using the operator service, you don’t have to worry that the user will find out about his blacklisting. What a person will hear when trying to call depends on the operator. So, on MegaFon he will be informed that the number was dialed incorrectly, and on Beeline that the subscriber is temporarily unavailable. MTS has the widest functionality, and you can set up a busy signal or a signal about temporary unavailability of a number.
Another benefit is the ability to view incoming calls from blocked phone numbers. This functionality is available to Beeline subscribers for five rubles per request.
We note separately that management of operator services is available both directly from telephone set, and through a special service interface on the website. This will make using the service more convenient, and the list will remain the same even if you change your phone.
Among the disadvantages, it is worth noting that the restriction will only apply to voice calls. On MegaFon, the restriction will apply to SMS only when numbers of MegaFon subscribers are blocked, and on MTS you can block all SMS, but when activated additional service“SMS Pro”, provided in conjunction with “Black List”, is free.
You can blacklist a number completely free of charge on MegaFon and MTS, but Beeline charges three rubles for adding each number. There is also a restriction on maximum number blocked numbers. On Beeline the limit is forty, on MegaFon - one hundred, and on MTS - three hundred numbers.
If, having assessed all the pros and cons of free blocking and using operator services, you have chosen paid version, then you need to activate it and configure it.

conclusions
You can block calls from unwanted phone numbers to your phone number either for a fee or using the functionality of your gadget. Each option has both its pros and cons. And if you just need to restrict yourself from calls and messages from certain numbers, then you can use your phone settings.

The cost of use is comparable for all mobile operators, but on Beeline it will cost the most, since, in addition to the service fee itself, the user also pays for adding phone numbers to the list of restrictions. The operator also has the smallest number of numbers that can be blocked when using a paid service.
All modern smartphones on Android based allow you to add numbers to the blacklist, that is, block them: calls and SMS messages with specified number will be blocked, but the user will receive a notification about the call or SMS.
