In the process of using a mobile phone, the subscriber may encounter situations in which it becomes necessary to change the number. For example, it can help him get rid of persistent calls or promotional SMS messages when standard means like blacklisting do not help.

Previously, in order to get a new MTS number, there was one solution - buying a new SIM card. This option is still in demand today. In addition, it is easy to implement: you can purchase a new SIM card at any mobile phone stores and other retail outlets.
However, this is not very rational - after all, a new SIM card means the loss of various settings, bonuses and data stored on it about the phone book recipients. Therefore, it will be useful for subscribers to know howchange the number to MTS, leaving the old SIM card. The following options are available to subscribers today:
- visiting the MTS salon;
- call the call center.

Many subscribers are interested in the question of how to change the MTS phone number using a website on the Internet (for example, through an office on the mobile operator's website). Despite the convenience and speed of this method, it is not yet possible. It is quite likely that fraudsters will be able to use this method.
Salon visit

By the way, it is very easy for a subscriber of another operator to switch with a number to MTS, because for this it is enough to visit a salon with a passport. In a few minutes, he will be issued a new SIM card. The number previously used by the subscriber will be linked to it.
Call the call center
If for some reason visiting the office is inconvenient, you can change the existing number by calling the service center.

At the beginning of the conversation, the operator will find out the identity of the subscriber by checking his document data with those entered in the database. Then, as when visiting the salon, he will explain how to change the number to MTS. After that, the subscriber will be offered a choice of several digital combinations for replacement.
