Sometimes when you make a call, your display may not show the usual phone number. Instead, it will say “Unknown,” “Unknown number,” or “Number hidden.”
In this case, you are being called by a subscriber who, for one reason or another, has decided to hide their phone number. Most often, this is done by spammers or unwanted interlocutors, but it also happens that the caller simply does not want to reveal their number.
How does hiding a phone number work?
All tariff plans of Russian operators have a service called “Caller ID” built in by default. It allows you to read the digits of a number during a call.
This option is free and is connected automatically. Most often, it cannot even be seen in the operator's personal account. But if desired, this service can be bypassed - for this, the subscriber needs to connect the number blocker so that the number is not displayed during calls.
Caller ID blocking is usually a paid service for most operators, but can be set up through a el salvador mobile database built-in system option or an application with special functionality. They all work the same way: when making an outgoing call, the person's number stops being displayed to the people he is calling.
The most reliable way to use a caller ID blocker is to order a service from your operator. That is why most of those who want to hide their number use such services.
Operators' offers
All mobile operators have a special option that is the opposite of “Caller ID Blocking”.
It’s called “Super Caller ID” and allows you to see any numbers for incoming calls – even those that were previously hidden by paid services.
Let's look at how "Super Caller ID" works and how it can be connected to different operators.
“SuperAON” from MegaFon
The paid option “SuperAON” allows you to identify the numbers of any subscribers, even if they use the “AntiAON” service.
"SuperAON" is guaranteed to show hidden phones only in the home region. When traveling around Russia, the service may work, but its operation is not guaranteed by the operator.
There may also be problems with reading data if the person hiding the number uses the services of another mobile operator or is located in another region.
The cost of the option is 1,500 rubles per month in Moscow, but the fee is charged daily in equal parts proportional to the days in the month. Connection is free. The cost of connection and use in other regions is different.
