Quite an interesting question: We recently asked an interesting question through feedback, which everyone can ask about mobile communications, smartphones, tariffs and services. So the crux of the question was: how do you turn off the mobile network without turning off the mobile Internet and everything so that people trying to call you hear that the subscriber is out of coverage?
The problem is that if we turn off the mobile network, we will simultaneously turn off this network for ourselves, meaning we will not be able to make calls and access to the internet will also be lost. But there is still a way out, although it is a bit specific and requires some preparation.
How to simulate a switched off phone
So, the goal is to ensure that the caller hears a valuable phrase when searching for your phone number. Based on this sentence you can put a melody instead of beeps, but the problem is that you cannot put any melody. It will also be obvious that the challenge has occurred. Therefore, you will have to think in a slightly different direction.
This is call forwarding. The bottom line is this: you need to configure the unconditional forwarding of all incoming calls to another number that is currently disabled.
Here’s how to do this:
- It is connected as follows: — **21* +38 ХХХХХХХХХХ #
- Service check – *#21#
- Disable service – ##21#
And as a result of such manipulation, all incoming calls will be redirected, and the subscriber on the other side will receive a message from the operator that the subscriber’s device is turned off or outside network coverage, etc. He will hear a real message about.
How to ensure that the number does not exist?
Likewise, you can have all incoming calls forwarded to a non-existent number, just find and select it. And after setting such a forwarding, all subscribers will hear that they are calling a non-existent number or that the number is not serviced.
Where can I find a number that doesn’t exist?
To do this, we go to the number selection section on the official website of the operator and select the number we want to buy, but it is not necessary to buy it, it is only necessary to write and set up forwarding to it. Source
