Switch to another operator with the number saving: Megafon, Beeline, MTS, Tele2, Rostelecom

When your mobile operator for someIt does not suit the reasons, but I don’t want to lose a lot of contacts, you can use such a service as switching to another operator with saving the number. Are there any features of this procedure or everything is done very quickly and without much effort from the subscriber? Let's try to understand.

How is everything going?

Let's start by clarifying a few pointsRegarding how the transition to another operator with the preservation of numbers. First, we introduce such concepts as a donor operator (this is the one who does not like the subscriber) and the recipient operator (new subscriber operator). In order to change the operator, you first need to write an application in the company where you want to go, which will create the basis for concluding a new contract to service your SIM card. Then, the recipient operator informs its predecessor about the incoming application for changing the mobile network through the database of the transferred numbers, and if there are no circumstances that could prevent switching to another operator while maintaining the number, the donor will stop the SIM which the subscriber received from the recipient changes to the stated one.

The procedure itself, as promised, will take no morethirty days (taking into account all the approvals), the maximum time for which the subscriber can remain without communication, after the previous operator refused him and the new operator "took" a new one, three hours. If for some reason it is decided to refuse the service “Switching to another operator with saving the number”, then before the recipient operator approves the application, you can write an application for refusal to switch. The number of operations for changing the operator is not limited, as well as the frequency of these operations.

Causes of delays

Yes, there are certain circumstances inconnection with which the transition may be delayed. Firstly, the donor operator cannot have a debt on his personal account - until the subscriber clears it, the old operator will not let him go. Moreover, if you have several numbers with one operator, and you want to give up one, then you will have to pay all your debts. A positive balance in the donor’s account will not be transferred to the recipient. There will be no problems with payment through the terminals - the database of the transferred numbers, which was already mentioned above, will fix the number belonging to another operator.

Transfer Features

This service is available for both individuals andlegal entities - operators do not make any difference between subscribers. Moreover, there is no difference what number you want to transfer - elite bronze / gold / silver (with a certain number of repeated numbers) or quite a standard one - you only have to pay one hundred rubles. The law on the transfer of numbers applies to absolutely all operators, regardless of whether they are regional or all-Russian, but the number can only be changed within the boundaries of one region or region.

When the subscriber made a request for number portability,for some time he will be in the office of the donor-operator and only after all checks will he pass to the recipient. At each stage of the process, that is, consideration of the application, approval of it, the refusal of one operator and the adoption of another, the subscriber will receive notifications. There are no special features in the maintenance of the “newbie” - he will obey the rules of the recipient operator, however, there will initially be some restrictions - the new subscriber will be able to use only calls, SMS messages and Internet access, but soon he will open all the available functionality. If for some reason the subscriber decided to terminate the contract with the recipient, then his number will be returned to the previous operator.

It should be noted that if the subscriber usesA phone purchased in a certain operator’s network, that is, programmed to work with a specific card, there is a possibility that he will refuse to work when transferring a number and in principle will not accept a new SIM card.

"Megaphone"

Transfer to another operator with saving the number"Megaphone" allows no problem. If you want to join this mobile network, you first need to leave a request for this operation - there is no difference, online or in the office of the operator.

With an online application, after it is considered,MegaFon employees will contact you and deliver the documents and a new SIM card necessary for concluding a new contract. At the same stage, a tariff plan is selected within this network and a payment of one hundred rubles for the operation is withdrawn. When filling out an application at the office, the service fee is charged immediately, as is the issuance of a new card with the already selected tariff plan. Then, during the period from one week to six months, the number will be transferred to the Megafon network itself, which you will be additionally notified by message.

MTS

Do not prohibit the transition to another operator withsaving the MTS number. Here, however, has its own characteristics. The application is filled only at the operator’s office. You must have a passport with you if the number is registered to you or a power of attorney from the owner of the number - you must confirm that you have the right to carry out such actions.

Then you pay for this transition andchoose a new tariff already in the MTS network, at the same stage you will receive a temporary number, which then, after all approvals, will be replaced by a portable one. Then, a few days, mobile operators receive all technical issues for settling between themselves, and the day before the proposed transfer, MTS sends you a message indicating the exact end time of servicing your card with the old operator - at this time you need to insert the recipient’s SIM card into the device.

"Beeline"

Transfer to another operator with saving the number“Beeline” admits as easily as “Megaphone”. Moreover, the process of implementing this operation is similar for them - the same application, either online or in the office, the same deadlines and general procedure for the provision of services. Courier "Beeline" can also bring a new card and a contract for its service at the address convenient to you.

But a separate advantage of this operation for newBeeline subscribers, who have decided to carry out all the necessary manipulations in the company's office, is able to sign up for a specific time online, rather than sit indoors, waiting for their turn.

"Tele 2"

Switching to another operator with saving the number "Tele2" also welcomes. Anyway, any company will be glad to new subscribers.

The rules are the same as for other mobileoperators, the only caveat is that the transfer of the number can take place only in the official salons of the company - no online or dealer operations.

Rostelecom

And the last mobile company, which will please the transition to another operator with the preservation of the number - "Rostelecom".

You will need to visit a sales center andservices of this company, where the contract for the transfer of the number is concluded and the card with the temporary number is issued. Then the operator gives you the opportunity to pay off their debts and only after that begins the transfer operation itself. Only upon transfer from your personal account these hundred rubles will be written off, then you will get the opportunity to choose a new tariff plan.
