Modern mobile devices can easily determine the number from which an incoming call is made. This, of course, is convenient and good, but sometimes it becomes necessary to call, hiding your real phone number. Let's figure out how this problem is solved using the example of popular mobile devices from well-known brands Android and iPhone.
Anonymous calls Android
You can call other subscribers without revealing your phone number. To do this, you can use the following methods:
- Anonymous calls from an Android phone via anti-AON. To take advantage of this opportunity, you must first activate this option from your mobile operator. Then, in the system settings (call settings - additional options), you should disable caller ID by selecting “Hide number”. After this, you will be able to call other subscribers while maintaining your incognito status.
- Anonymous Android calls through special services. As a rule, such a service is provided by individual IP telephony operators, which can be found via the Internet. In most cases, this service is paid, and often not cheap, but it allows you not only to hide your real number, but also to replace it with any other. For this purpose, you will need to install a special application that will allow you to make anonymous calls from an Android device via an Internet line. Moreover, not only local, but also long-distance or international.
Anonymous call on iPhone
iPhone phone lovers can hide their phone number using approximately the same methods. Namely:
- Connect an anonymous call to your iPhone using the anti-caller ID function. As in the case of devices with Android OS, you must first pay for this service from your mobile operator. After this, you need to activate the option on the device itself by going to the “Settings” - “Phone” - “Show number” menu. By turning off the corresponding toggle switch (on/off), you can make anonymous calls from your iPhone to any subscribers. However, here you need to take into account that in the case of SMS messages, this anti-Caller ID may not work.
- Anonymous calls from an iPhone device via IP telephony operators. The principle is exactly the same as we described regarding Android phones. You need to register in a special service and install the appropriate software, after which anonymous calls will become available, including those with number spoofing.
You can also purchase a special device - which allows you to make calls with a spoofed number.
You can call from an unknown MTS number using the AntiAON service. To connect it, dial *111*46# from your phone or use the “Internet Assistant”. To cancel the Anti-AON service for one call, enter the combination *31# +7 (subscriber number) and press “call”.
You can make a one-time call from a hidden MTS number. To do this, dial *111*84# from your cell phone. After that, enter the desired number using the already familiar combination “#31# +7 (subscriber number) and “call”. After ending the call, turn off the service in the same way as when you turned it on.
How to call from a hidden Megafon number
To call from a hidden Megafon number, use the “Service Guide” system or enter your number in the appropriate form on a special one on the operator’s website, then click “Connect”. An SMS message will be sent to your phone to confirm your choice of service. Give a positive answer to it, following the attached instructions.
You can connect caller ID on Megafon without the help of the Internet. To do this, you need to send an empty message to the number 000105501 or use the command *105*501#. You can temporarily make a number visible for calls to a specific subscriber by dialing the desired number as a command *31#(phone number) and “call”.
To hide a number on Megafon only once, activate the ban on displaying your number in your phone settings, then dial “#31# (subscriber number) and “call”. Once the call is completed, return your phone settings to their original state.
How to call from a hidden Beeline and Skylink number
Beeline subscribers can call from a hidden number by dialing the combination 06740971 and “call” or the command *110*071#. To disable the barring of number identification for one call, enter the combination *31# (subscriber number).
You can also call from hidden Skylink through your personal account to SkyPoint. An alternative way is to call 555 and follow the instructions from the auto-informer. To block the display of a number one-time, use the command *52 (subscriber number)” and the call button. During the anti-determination service on Skylink, you can return the phone identification for one session if you dial the desired number as *51(number).

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#.
Quite often the question arises: “How to call from a hidden Beeline number?” There is nothing complicated here; you can use mobile communications as usual, and the interlocutor will not see your contact information.
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.
How to disable a hidden number? To do this, you can use one of the following methods:
- Sending USSD command *110*070#.
- Contact technical support by calling 0611.
- Deactivation of the service from the “Personal Account” on the provider’s website.
Important! To connect AntiAON, the subscriber’s personal account must have funds. If the balance is negative, the service cannot be activated.
Service management Additional features
If hiding data does not make sense, the connected service leaves the subscriber the opportunity to make calls in the usual way. How to make a call so that the interlocutor can see the caller's contact information? To do this, dial *31#, enter a contact and press the call key. 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:
- mobile request *110*4161#;
- free call 0674 41 61;
- contact technical support 0611.
Important! The “Super Determinator” service is paid. The cost is 1,500 rubles per month, written off daily in equal parts of the total amount.
You can identify an anonymously made call by ordering call details. The printout will display all contacts for a certain period, regardless of whether AntiAON is connected or not.

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.
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.
Hidden number megaphone - anti-identifier service
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 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.
