You can also add an annoying subscriber to the “black list” using your phone - many of them provide the ability to block numbers. However, if the device does not have a “ban list”, it doesn’t matter, because you can activate such a service through an operator. This article presents options on how to block a phone number on Megafon: your own or a friend who is tired of calls.
How to block someone else's number on Megafon using the Black List service?
The “Black List” service is activated completely free of charge - to connect you need to send an SMS without content to the number 5130.
Another connection method is the combination *130#. In the future, to add a number to the “Black List”, you need to dial the following code *130*(number starting from +7)#. By the way, for those who have a question about how to restore a blocked Megafon number, it should be noted that restoration is carried out using the same combination.
Other combinations allow:
- View the list of blacklisted numbers (*130*3#).
- Remove all numbers from the “Black List” (*130*4#).
- Find out additional information about the service (*130*5#).
The “black list” is unlimited - you can add as many numbers as you like to the “black list”. The service is not free - you have to pay 1 ruble per day, regardless of how many numbers are blocked.
For those who want to know how to block an unwanted Megafon number or your own via the Internet, it is best to get acquainted with your Personal Account.
As you can see, you need to specify the date the blocking occurred and the date it was removed, and then click “Set”. Temporary blocking of your number is necessary if the subscriber, for example, goes on a trip and does not want a subscription fee to be charged on his SIM card, or if the subscriber has lost his SIM card and does not have time to go to the service office and restore it, No.
Setting a block on a number is a free procedure, however, it does imply a limitation: you cannot set a temporary block for more than six months, since if the subscriber does not use a SIM card for 60 days, the number is alienated and it goes back on sale.
Those interested in how to block an incoming number on Megafon via the Internet should go to the “Call forwarding and barring” section and select the “Manage black lists” subsection.
Here the subscriber is warned that the service has a subscription fee. If he agrees with the terms, he needs to press the “Connect” button.
How to block short numbers on Megafon?
To prevent SMS from short numbers from being sent to a Megafon subscriber, he must activate the “STOP Content” and “Banning Sending Entertaining SMS” services. The second can be added in the Personal Account (“Services and tariff” -> “Changing the set of services” -> group “Management of service bans”), and the first will be connected by consultants when they personally contact the salon with a document.
How to permanently block a Megafon number?
The final blocking of a number can only be done upon written application at the Megafon service office. The balance on the number can be transferred to another account or withdrawn to a bank card.
Important: do not forget to take with you a copy of the termination application certified by a consultant - this can save you if it turns out that the company’s specialists, for example, forgot to send your application by email.
Situations often arise when there is no desire to accept a call from a particular subscriber, but openly ignoring it is not the most suitable option. It is for such circumstances that such a service as “Black List” was invented. Megafon also did not stand aside and provides such an opportunity.
The service of the same name is provided on a daily basis and can be activated in four different ways. It is available to all subscribers of the Megafon network, both for private and corporate purposes.
In this article we will look at all the possibilities of this service, terms of provision and prices. We will also provide step-by-step instructions for connecting, disconnecting, and managing basic functions.
What is the Blacklist and how it works
The option makes it possible to add a certain number of numbers (but not more than 100) to a special list. After this, the caller will hear a voice notification that will say that the dialed number was dialed incorrectly. The subscriber will not receive any information regarding his presence on the black list.
However, through your personal account, you can set another notification, for example, “Subscriber is temporarily unavailable,” as if the phone is turned off.
In the home region, that is, in the connection region, the service works properly. But in other cases there may be glitches; also, if the caller is in another city, the call may also leak. If you are abroad, the option may not work.
Terms of service
The blacklist function is available to all Megafon subscribers, without restrictions on tariff plans and packages. Connection is free, but you must have funds on your account to pay for daily use. If at a certain moment there are not enough funds, then on that day, numbers from the black list will be able to get through. The service is activated again after replenishing the account.
In the case of set forwarding, all calls from the black list will be redirected to the specified number. Regarding messages, there is also one feature - all SMS, both from the network of other operators and from your own, will be received, even if the sending subscriber is on the black list.
Cost for Megafon
This Blacklist service is paid for by the Megafon operator on a daily basis; 1₽ will be debited per day. There is no need to pay to activate and add a number to the list. There is also no charge for checking information on the list.
If current prices change, the subscriber will be notified in advance. You can clarify points of interest by calling the operator at 0500.
How to connect and disconnect
Connecting a blacklist
There are several ways to activate this option:
- On the official website of the operator. We go to the main page and find the “Private Clients” tab there, then select the “Services and Options” item. There we find the “Communication and Communication” section and in it the “Black List” itself. At the top of the page there will be a green “Connect” button, click on it and enter your mobile number in the column provided for this. After this, an activation code will be sent to your phone.
- Using your personal account. You can go there either through the website or using the official application, which can be downloaded from Google Play, or from another service, depending on the device platform.
- *130# .
- Via SMS. To do this you need to send a message with the word “Yes” to 5130.
The service is activated within 10-20 minutes.
Disabling the blacklist
You can deactivate the option in the following ways:
- Using your personal account.
- Using ussd code: *130# . Among the proposed options, select “Disable”.
- SMS. You need to send a message to the same number 5130 , with the phrase “ off”.
In addition, the function is automatically disabled after the last number is removed from the list.

To disconnect, corporate clients need to submit an application using a special form using the “Service Guide” system on the operator’s official website.
Service management
Adding a number to the list
You can add a subscriber to the blacklist by performing one of these actions:
- Dial ussd code on your phone: *130*792ХХХХХХХХ#;
- Send a message to 5130 with the following content: “+ (space) subscriber number.” For example, + 79275669875.
Unblock number
Removing a contact from the block list is carried out in the same ways as adding:
- USSD code: *130* subscriber number;
- SMS: “- (space) number” and send to the same number. For example, - 79275669875 .
View your blacklist
You can view all added numbers at any time and this option is also free.
This can also be done in two ways, using a command or SMS message:
- Code: *130*3# ;
- SMS: to number 5130 with the phrase “ INF”.
Limitations in the operation of the option
Among the limitations, one can highlight, for example, inconsistent operation in roaming. And also the absence of blocking of SMS messages, even if the subscriber is on the black list.
Some glitches are also possible if the caller is in another city or region, in which case the call can sometimes get through the blocking. These errors are due to the peculiarities of the network in the region and are therefore arbitrary.
Let's sum it up
The Black List service from Megafon can be useful to any subscribers and for various needs. For private purposes, it will help get rid of calls from an unnecessary number, since after a few dialings the caller will stop calling, thinking that he has registered the number incorrectly or that the recipient’s device is turned off.
For corporate purposes, for doing business, this option is also very useful. Because almost any call center has the ability to block a subscriber.
The main advantage of the service is its free connection, as well as the absence of fees for checking the status of the list. One of the disadvantages is the limit on the number of added contacts, but in most cases this number will be enough.
There may be situations in life when you need to protect your personal space from unwanted calls. But it is not possible to change the phone every time. The Megafon operator knows how to solve the problem - add the subscriber to the blacklist. The Black List service from Megafon, provided free of charge, is an opportunity to stop unwanted calls from “inconvenient” people.

A service such as “Black List” allows us to exclude incoming calls from certain numbers. The service is quite popular, as it makes it possible to get rid of annoying and disturbing calls. All subscribers of the MegaFon network in Moscow can use it. As part of this review, we will describe in detail all the features of the service and tell you how to add a number to the Black List from MegaFon.
Description of the “Black List” service
The Black List service allows you to reject calls from numbers entered into the system. For example, if we don’t like this or that person and we don’t want him to be able to reach us, we should activate the service and blacklist this person’s phone number. As soon as this person calls our number, he will hear in response the phrase “The number is dialed incorrectly, please check the correct number and call back.” Thus, we can get rid of unwanted calls immediately.
But another question arises: will SMS messages be blocked? Unfortunately, SMS blocking within the Black List service will only occur if the sender uses one of the LITE tariffs. In all other cases, messages will be delivered successfully.
The Black List service is very convenient to manage via the Internet using your Personal Account. And the main convenience is related to the fact that here we can assign a hang-up type to each number included in the blacklist. In addition to the phrase “The number was dialed incorrectly, please check that the number was dialed correctly and call back,” we can use one of the additional types of hang-up:
- Rejected;
- Not available.
Which item to choose depends on the subscriber’s wishes; you can also leave the standard phrase. By the way, if we enable unconditional forwarding, then blocking calls from unwanted numbers will not work. The subscription fee for the “Black List” service is extremely small - only 1 ruble per day. And for this ruble we get peace of mind due to the absence of intrusive calls from unwanted numbers. The number of numbers on the blacklist is not limited, there is no fee for adding them, and blocked numbers can belong to any Russian and foreign mobile and fixed-line networks.
If your account runs out of funds, the Black List service will be suspended until your account is replenished - do not forget to replenish your account in a timely manner to maintain the service in working order.
