How to block an incoming number on Lenovo

Good afternoon friends. How to block an unwanted number? I have already published two articles on blocking unknown numbers for Android and iPhone. Today we will look at blocking an unwanted number (not hidden) for these phones. This is a rather important topic, since many people are simply fed up with unwanted calls from such numbers.

I actually started this topic because a few days ago, on Sunday, I received a call from an unfamiliar number and they immediately hung up. What's most unpleasant is that they called early in the morning. I looked up the number and called back. In response, I heard the voice of a bot, which began to talk about the advantages of the Credit Service organization.

To put it mildly, I was very “Happy” with such a call in the morning. In general, you should not call such organizations back. But at that time I did not yet know that this was exactly “Credit Service”. As I learned that same day, this organization receives a lot of complaints all over the Internet. Therefore, so that they would not bother me anymore, I sent them to the Black List. In this article we will look at options for such an addition.

Blocking by mobile operator provider

I’ll say right away that in most cases, such blocking is paid. But quite acceptable, from 1 ruble per day. We will also look at free methods using add-ons. Blocking options are directly related to the model of your phone and the telephone operator whose services you use.

Also, which blocker to choose depends on your personal tastes. All cellular companies have a service to block calls to a phone from a specific number. Typically, to activate such a service, you need to enter a special combination of numbers or letters. It depends on the operator.

Blocking via operator

Many operators allow you to block a specific number using special commands. Let's look at how these functions work for some of them.

MTS

In order to add a contact to the blacklist, subscribers of the mobile operator MTS will need to do the following:

Enter the “Phone” application and enter the combination *111*442#, then press the call key;
After 2-3 minutes, you will receive a notification that the service has been activated (it is worth noting that for blocking a subscriber by the operator, 1.5 rubles will be debited from your account daily);
After the service has been activated, the phone owner must send a message to number 4424 with the text 22*phone number you want to block#.

Now the subscriber will not be able to make calls to your phone number. To remove a contact from the blocked list, you need to send a message to number 4424 with the text 22* subscriber number#.

Beeline

Blocking a contact through the Beeline mobile operator is almost identical to the previous one.

First you need to connect the appropriate service. To do this, you need to open the keyboard and enter the command *110*771#. Activation may take up to 24 hours.

There is no subscription fee for the service, but for each number added to the blacklist you will need to pay 3 rubles.

In order to block the required number, enter the following USSD code: *110*771*number you want to add to the emergency number#.

You can view all blacklisted subscribers using the USSD command *110*773#, and to delete them you need to enter *110*772#.

Tele 2

Those who want to block a contact through the Tele2 operator need to enter the command *220*1# and wait until they receive an SMS indicating that the add to emergency function is enabled.

The blacklist from Tele2 is paid. The subscriber will be charged 1.5 rubles for adding a contact, as well as 1 ruble per day as a subscription fee.

In order to block the required number, enter the command: *220*1*number you want to block#. To unblock a contact, enter the following code: *220*0*phone number#.

Megaphone

In order to activate Megafon subscribers, you need to create a blank SMS and send it to number 5130 or enter the command *130#.

To add a contact to the emergency situation, send a message to 5130, indicating the phone number you want to block or enter the request *130*phone number#.

The service fee is 1 ruble per day. You can view the list of subscribers on your blocked list using the command *130*3#.

Beeline

This operator has its own rules for this offer. The cost is one ruble every day. To add the next number, the subscriber will need to pay an additional 3.05 rubles. Payment for the service per month is 30.5 rubles. All these tariffs for the blacklist are clearly shown in the screenshot:

So, let's look at the number blocking scheme:

You need to dial *110*771#;
We dial;
To disable the service, instead of the last 1, dial 0;
To add a user to this list, enter this sequence of numbers in messages, up to the hash mark. Then, put an asterisk and enter the unwanted number. Next, we finish the combination with a lattice.

You can find out more detailed information by following the link...

This mobile operator charges 1.5 rubles for the “Black List”. per day, with the exception of a few tariffs. More detailed information about what exactly these tariffs you see is in the detailed screenshot. If you decide to block SMS along with calls, this service will be provided free of charge.

So, to activate this service, you need to dial *111*442# , then press call. The cost of adding a user to this list is free, but you will be charged 1.5 rubles once a day;
Also, to connect, just enter 5 and send this number to number 4424 ;
You can dial number 22*, then the number of the person you decided to add to this list.

When a person included in this list tries to call you, he will hear “Out of zone...” or busy. To disable the service, you need to dial *111*442# and make a call. You can also use SMS. To do this, dial 442*3 and send to 111.

Megaphone

This operator also allows you to add users to such a list. What I don't like here is the price. Compared to Beeline, it is three times more expensive, as much as 3 rubles/day. What’s good is that they don’t charge money for the connection itself. For this:

We dial the combination *130# and then follow the operator’s recommendations;
We dial the message + 7 (there must be a space after 7), then the number of the person being blocked and send it to 5130;
To delete, also dial *130# and act as the operator says.

Tele 2

This is the number they called me on. The cost of such a service is 2 rubles. Activation of the service is free. Adding a user to the unwanted list 1.6 rub. (this is in my region). What’s interesting is that in this operator you need to add a user to the unwanted list after 8, not +7. So:

To activate this service, dial *220*1# and carefully follow the operator’s advice;
To add a number to the list, dial *220*1*number# , then make a call;
If you decide to disable this list, you need to dial *220*0# and also listen to the operator’s step-by-step plan.

I’ll say right away that I didn’t want to pay 2 rubles for the “Black List”, so I did something different.

from the operator

Most popular telephone operators provide their users with the service of blocking unwanted numbers - among the communication providers there are such giants as: MTS, Beeline, MegaFon, Tele2 and others.

To connect such an option, an additional fee is most often charged, which varies depending on the operator. In order to connect it, you need to dial a special number on your phone and call, after which the user will be advised by a programmed robot and told what to do next - this is true for all of the above-mentioned monopoly operators.

More fine-tuning occurs in the user’s personal account: you can change any conditions, or disable the service forever.

How to block an incoming number on Android

To block bad calls, the creators of gadgets on the Android OS have developed a whole network of various programs. Of course, the Android OS itself will be able to carry out this blocking.

Let's tap on it. In the new menu list, select the “Voicemail” tab and put a checkmark above it. After this, when this user tries to call you, he will hear “Busy”;
If you have the sixth version installed, then you need to enter calls, tap on the desired subscriber, then click “block”. After this, this subscriber will stop bothering you.

Good day!

Lately, there has just been some kind of epidemic of voice spam: they constantly call with an offer to take out a credit card, connect to another Internet provider, some kind of surveys, and sometimes just silence on the phone.

To be honest, it is a mystery to me why they have not yet banned doing this (at least all large companies), or have not blocked such dealers at the operator level. Although, “If the stars light up, it means someone needs it. ".

In general , one solution to this problem could be setting up your phone in special settings. mode: it will drop all calls from unknown numbers - that is, those that are not in your address book (that are not included in your contacts).

All the necessary settings can be set quite quickly: everything will take about 2-3 minutes. Actually, in this note I will give several ways how all this can be done.

Some mobile programs allow you to create emergencies. They have wider functionality than standard phone settings, and unlike the services of commercial operators, they are provided free of charge.

TrueCaller can completely replace the standard dialer. Available for Android and iOS versions above 8.0.
