The SIM card is a personal identification module of the subscriber. This small plate contains all the necessary data for using the services of a mobile operator. It is necessary to identify the user on the network. It often happens that you need to block the SIM card. The reasons for this may vary. And I want, first of all, to carry out such an operation without unnecessary difficulties. How to do it? Let's try to answer this question.
First of all, let's find out on what grounds customers turn to their mobile operator with a request to block a SIM card. The simplest and most common reason for blocking is the phone is lost or stolen. In this case, probably, each of us will want to restore his previous number and, if possible, the numbers from the notebook. But in order to do this, you will have to block the old card. Especially if onaccount with a large amount of money. Sometimes, in rare cases, the SIM card can get mechanical damage, then you also need to carry out similar actions. So what do mobile operators offer us?
To block a SIM card, MegaFon is ready to offer its customers an easy way. It is enough to send an SMS from any phone (the operator does not matter) to the number +79282000003. In the message, you need to indicate the number of your lost phone (nine-digit format), as well as a code word, which can be used as a passport number or series. Well, if this method is not suitable, then you can call the information and reference service. The number is simple - 0500. Also, a visit to the MegaFon office can be an option to solve the problem with blocking and subsequent restoration of the number. As a result of any of these actions, the number will be blocked for 7 days. During this period, the SIM card can be restored.
Other mobile operators have also simplified the procedure for card blocking and subsequent number recovery as much as possible. For example, to find out how to block a Beeline SIM card, you should go to the website of this company. Here everything is written quite clearly and accessible. The user only needs a computer and Internet access. On the company's website in the "Online Store" section, you need to fill out a simple form. Enter your contact information and passport information in the fields. After the information is received by Beeline employees, they will call the client back and agree with him all the details regarding the blocking of the oldcards and getting a new one. The subscriber has the right to refuse a new SIM card, or order it, but with some changes, for example, by choosing a different tariff plan.
All mobile operators care about the safety of their customers. Therefore, when receiving a new card with a restored number, you will be required to present a passport. And if everything is in order, get a SIM card at your disposal.
In any case, to block a SIM card, you will have to spend some time, and in some cases money. Therefore, be careful with your mobile phones. Don't lose them and make sure your favorite speed dial doesn't get stolen.
