When we buy a starter package of any mobile operator, a phone number is attached to it by default, using which our friends, relatives and other subscribers can call us. We understand this, so we try to choose the package with the most "beautiful" combination of numbers.
Beeline offers an unusual solution. Anyone who wants to can change the number associated with the starter pack. The service is available due to not so significant restrictions, so any subscriber can use it. How it works and what is the meaning of this option, we will tell in this article.
Choose and pick up
Beeline offers to change the phone number associated with your SIM card. It is very simple to do this: just indicate your old number, and then create a specific combination that you would like to see in your number. Next, the system will show which ones you can change the phone number of your package to, as well as provide information on the cost of the transition. After that, after completing a few steps, you will be the owner of a new number. Regarding the whole procedure, a couple of important points should be clarified. We are talking about the cost, as well as restrictions on combinations.
As for the price, it should be noted that it varies depending on which number will be chosen by the subscriber in the future. For example, beautiful numbers containing repeated digits will be more expensive than combinations without any patterns. You need to take this into account when you make a selection.
As for the possibilities of choice, everything here is limited only by what numbers are not yet occupied in the Beeline subscriber network. You can change your phone number, for example, to one that will contain your date of birth, house and apartment number, or a number issued by another operator. If there are no repetitions of numbers and "beautiful" combinations in such a number, the replacement cost will be quite low.
Why is this?
Partly to the question of why the “Number to choose” service may be needed, Beeline gives on the website (namely, on the page containing the description of the option). It says that the subscriber can make his number more memorable, "attach" its value to any event, date or digital combination. On the other hand, with the help of a replacement, you can also get an “image” number, which your customers will also easily remember, which will ultimately reflect fruitfully on your business.
There are a lot of options. Someone wants to please a loved one and take a phone number similar to his; or someone just needs to get rid of the old in order to lose touch with unnecessary acquaintances.
It really doesn't matterwhy a person needs a new phone number. The main thing is that Beeline allows you to change your number quickly and easily, and also inexpensively, if we are talking about a simple digital combination.
Old or new SIM card?
Another question that may arise before the user is whether to keep the old SIM card or take a new one if you use the "Number to choose" service.
"Beeline" on the official website notes that, if desired, the user can leave his old card to work with a new number. This is convenient, since in this case the subscriber does not need to buy a new starter package and, accordingly, make extra expenses.
Cost
If you want to change your phone number through Beeline, the operator has a single tariff scale for such a service. It is expressed in the amounts that must be paid for a room of one type or another. For example, for a regular combination of numbers, the subscriber must pay 30 rubles. For the "bronze" number, the amount of the contribution increases to 1000 rubles. A user who wants to switch to a "silver" number pays 5000; and those who are interested in the "golden" combination - all 15 thousand rubles.
What are gold, silver, bronze numbers?
To distinguish between these three categories, Beeline analyzes the phone number for repeated digits. The more identical numbers in a combination, the more expensive the number itself is considered. Well, and, accordingly, it belongs to the more valuable category.
"Bronze" is calleda number in which a combination of 3 digits is repeated; "silver" - out of 4, and "gold" - out of 5 identical symbols.
How to change?
There are several ways to change your Beeline number. Through the Internet, directly at the company's office, as well as through the operator - using any of these methods, you can change your phone number to a new one.
If the easiest way to do this is via the Internet (just go to the company's website, enter your old number, provide a scan of your passport, then choose a combination for a new one), then other methods require additional efforts. Read more about this below.
Change at the company office
In order to get a new Beeline phone (change the subscriber number through the company's office), you must provide a passport. In addition, you need to explain to the consultants of the mobile operator what exactly you would like to see in your number - what numbers should be there. Describe the combination you would prefer.
Besides this, of course, it is impossible not to mention the cost of services. As already mentioned, the selection of a number is free, but the price of a new one will depend directly on the value of the final option, on the digital combinations in it.
Change by calling the operator
Another opportunity to change the number through Beeline is to call the operator. You can do this by calling 0611 or 8 800 700 061 (for calls throughout Russia). It is important to note that for identification purposesidentity, a company employee may ask you to dictate your passport details.
Another important point: when replacing through a company specialist, the subscriber is not given the opportunity to select a new number.
Restrictions
If you want a new "Beeline" (phone number), you need to meet a number of requirements that apply to the system. The first is debt. A subscriber changing his number should not have debts both for the “On Full Trust” service and for other options, including the subscription fee. The user must have a good reputation as a payer for mobile services - only then can he count on a new number.
The second condition is the length of stay in the system. In order for the subscriber to have the right to change the phone number, the period of use of the Beeline basic package must be more than 1 month. This also includes another limitation - a period of one month, which must pass from the moment of the previous number change.
The third, rather, feature is the form of payment in which the client can make a payment. If in the case of working through a consultant by phone or via the Internet, it is allowed to repay the amount of debt from the subscriber's account, then when contacting the office, the subscriber has the right to pay in cash.
Subscriber reviews
Having learned all the details about this service, it would be interesting to look at the recommendations of the operator's simple clients - subscribers who have already used it.
On numerous resources, ordinary visitors share their impressionsfrom the option that was described in this article. As can be judged by them, ordinary people really like the opportunity to upgrade to a more attractive number. This is not only practical, but also adds some image to its owner.
People also speak positively about the promotions carried out by Beeline to attract attention to the service. For example, there was a period when “silver” numbers were connected at the price of “simple” ones. You can imagine the excitement of subscribers!
Now, of course, the operator does not hold any promotions, since the service is already quite well-known. However, you are given a great choice: either pay and get an attractive number consisting of the same numbers, or simply switch to one that you will remember due to the “features” of the numbers it will consist of. And this, as already described earlier, is quite convenient.
Old number
Some subscribers, judging by the feedback from the forums, the question arises: What happens to the old phone number, which the user once abandoned by switching to a new one?
The question is natural, but the answer to it is extremely simple - it is turned off. According to Beeline rules, changing a number means deactivating it. Further, everything happens according to the procedure in force for many mobile operators. For a long period of time (usually a year), this number is disabled. This means that when calling it, a person hears something like “incorrectly dialed number”. Further, after this period, the new subscriber receives it and continues to use it for his own purposes.
