Calls from annoying advertisers, scammers or former colleagues can turn your smartphone into a source of stress. If you are a subscriber Beeline and use a device on Android, you have at least 5 ways to block an unwanted number from built-in system functions to special operator services. But not all methods are equally effective: some block only incoming calls, others block outgoing calls as well, and still others require the connection of paid services.

In this article we will look at all current blocking methods taking into account the features firmware Samsung One UI, Xiaomi MIUI, Huawei EMUI and clean Android. You'll learn how to get rid of spam forever without missing important calls, and what to do if blocking doesn't work. And also - how to check whether your own number is blacklisted by other Beeline subscribers.

1. Blocking through standard Android settings

The most universal method that works on any smartphone with Android 6.0 and later โ€”use the built-in contact blocking function. It does not depend on the operator and does not require the activation of additional services. However, the interface may differ depending on the manufacturer's shell.

General algorithm:

  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Open the application Phone (usually with a green handset).
  • ๐Ÿ” Find the number you want to block in the call log and tap on it.
  • โš™๏ธ Click on the three dots (menu) in the upper right corner โ†’ select Block or Add to blacklist.
  • โœ… Confirm the action. Some firmware (for example MIUI) will ask you to indicate the reason for the blocking.

On Samsung Galaxy the path may look like this: Phone โ†’ Journal โ†’ โ‹ฎ โ†’ Settings โ†’ Blocking numbers. Here you can manually add a number or import contacts from the blacklist.

โš ๏ธ Attention: Standard Android blocking does not work for SMS from service numbers (for example, 1234 or 5555). They require special applications or Beeline services.

2. Using the My Beeline application

The official application from the operator allows you to block numbers at the network level, which is more reliable than system methods. Advantage: the blocking is valid even if you change your smartphone or SIM card (while keeping the number). Minus - an Internet connection is required for setup.

Step-by-step guide:

  1. Download My Beeline from Google Play (if not already installed).
  2. Authorize by phone number (you will receive an SMS with a code).
  3. Go to section Services โ†’ Anti-spam.
  4. Select Black list โ†’ Add number.
  5. Enter the number in the format 79XXXXXXXXX (without spaces and signs) or select from the log.
  6. Save changes. The blocking is activated within 5โ€“10 minutes.

The My Beeline also has a function Antispamthat automatically filters suspicious calls. It can be enabled in the same section Spam protection.

3. Blocking via Beeline USSD commands

If you cannot use the application or the Internet, you can block the number using USSD requests. This method works directly through the operator's network and does not depend on the phone model.

Instructions:

  1. Open the application Phone and go to the dialing tab.
  2. Enter the command:
    *110*79XXXXXXXXX#

    where 79XXXXXXXXX is the number to block (for example, *110*79123456789#).

  3. Press the call button. In a few seconds you will receive an SMS with confirmation.

To unblock the number, use the command:

*110*079XXXXXXXXX#

โš ๏ธ Attention: Beeline USSD commands support blocking only Russian numbers in the format 79XXXXXXXXXFor international numbers, use others. methods.
What to do if the USSD command does not work?

Check the balance - there must be at least 10 rubles in the account (even if the service is free, the system may block requests if there is zero balance).

Make sure that you enter the number without spaces, dashes or pluses. Only 79XXXXXXXXX.

If nothing happens after typing the command, restart the phone and try again.

In rare cases, USSD requests may not work due to problems on the operatorโ€™s side Try later or use an alternative. method.

4. Third-party applications for blocking calls

If the built-in Android or Beeline tools do not suit you, you can install specialized applications. They offer advanced functions: blocking by keywords in SMS, creating white lists, recording conversations from spammers and even automatically identifying fraudulent numbers.

Top 3 proven ones applications:

  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Truecaller โ€”databases with millions of spam numbers, blocking by category (scammers, advertising, robots). Disadvantage: requires registration and access to contacts.
  • ๐Ÿšซ Blacklist - simple interface, support for regular expressions for blocking ranges of numbers (for example, all with a code 985).
  • ๐Ÿ“ต Call Blocker - works without the Internet, there is a "quiet mode" function for unknown numbers.

When installing third-party blockers required:

  • Check application permissions (there should be no access to SMS if not needed).
  • Set up exceptions for important contacts (banks, delivery services).
  • Regularly update the database of spam numbers (in Truecaller this is done automatically).
๐Ÿ’ก

Before installing a blocker, check its rating on Google Play and reviews for the last 3 months. Fraudsters often disguise malware as โ€œantispamโ€ applications.

5. Features of blocking on different Android firmware

Smartphone manufacturers often modify standard Android functions, so the blocking process may differ for popular ones. brands.

Samsung (One UI)

In the firmware One UI number blocking is hidden in the contacts menu:

  1. Open Contact โ†’ find the desired number.
  2. Tap on the contact โ†’ Details โ†’ โ‹ฎ โ†’ Block contact.
  3. Enable the option Block messagesif you want to block SMS as well.

Xiaomi (MIUI)

B MIUI there is a separate section for managing blockings:

  • Go to Settings โ†’ Applications โ†’ Blocking.
  • Select Black list โ†’ Add.
  • MIUI allows you to block not only numbers, but also SMS with certain words (for example, โ€œyou wonโ€).

Huawei (EMUI/HarmonyOS)

On devices Huawei blocking is configured via:

  1. Phone โ†’ Log โ†’ โ‹ฎ โ†’ Call settings โ†’ Blocking numbers.
  2. Here you can add numbers manually or import from messages.
โš ๏ธ Attention: On some models Huawei after updating to HarmonyOS old blocking settings are reset. Check the blacklist after upgrading the OS.

6. How to check if your number is blocked by other Beeline subscribers

If it seems to you that your calls are not reaching a certain subscriber, you can check if you are on his black list. It is absolutely impossible to do this 100%, but there are indirect signs:

  • ๐Ÿ“ž The call is dropped after 1-2 beeps (instead of the standard 5-6).
  • ๐Ÿ’ฌ SMS does not reach (no status "delivered"), although the subscriber's Internet is working.
  • ๐Ÿ”• When you call, you hear a short "busy" signal or are immediately forwarded to voicemail.

To make sure that the problem is not on your side:

  1. Call from another number to the same phone. If the call goes through, you have been blocked.
  2. Try to contact via instant messengers (WhatsApp, Telegram). If messages are read, but calls are not made, this is a sign of voice blocking.
๐Ÿ’ก

Beeline does not notify subscribers that their numbers are blocked by other users. The only way to find out the truth is to ask directly.

7. Frequent problems and their solutions

Even after setting up blocking, calls may continue to arrive. Let's look at typical situations and how to fix them.

Problem: Calls are going through despite blocking

Possible causes and solutions:

  • ๐Ÿ”„ Phone application cache. Clear it in the settings: Settings โ†’ Applications โ†’ Phone โ†’ Storage โ†’ Clear cache.
  • ๐Ÿ“ก Firmware update. Some versions of Android (for example Android 12) have blocking bugs. Check for updates.
  • ๐Ÿ”Œ SIM card in another phone. If you use two SIMs, blocking may only work for the main one.

Problem: SMS from the blocked number do not arrive

This is normal behavior if you have enabled message blocking. To allow SMS, but prohibit calls:

  1. V My Beeline: go to Blacklist โ†’ uncheck Block SMS for a specific number.
  2. In Android settings: find the section Message blocking (usually next to call blocking).

Problem: USSD commands do not work

Check:

  • ๐Ÿ“ถ Network signal strength. In an area of poor coverage, USSD requests may not go through.
  • ๐Ÿ’ณ Account balance (must be at least 10 rubles).
  • ๐Ÿ”„ Reboot the phone and repeat the request.
Why blocking through "My Beeline" does not work immediately?

The delay of up to 10 minutes is due to data updating on Beeline servers. If the number is not blocked after 15 minutes, check:

1. Internet connection (needed for synchronization).

2. The relevance of the version of the "My Beeline" application.

3. No tariff restrictions (blocking is disabled on some corporate tariffs).

FAQ: Answers to frequently asked questions

Is it possible to block a number on Beeline without the Internet?

Yes, for this use USSD commands (*110*79XXXXXXXXX#) or Android settings (if the number is already saved in contacts). The My Beeline application requires Internet only for initial setup.

How many numbers can be added to the blacklist?

Limitations depend on the method:

  • Android settings: up to 500 numbers (depending on the firmware).
  • "My Beeline": up to 100 numbers.
  • USSD commands: up to 30 numbers (according to support Beeline).
How to block hidden and unknown numbers?

Hidden numbers (displayed as "Unknown" or "Private") are blocked differently:

  1. B My Beeline: enable the option Block hidden numbers in the section Spam protection.
  2. In Android settings: some firmware (for example, MIUI) allow you to block all numbers without ID.
  3. Through applications: Truecaller can identify part of the hidden numbers from the database.

Please note: blocking hidden numbers may affect important calls (for example, from a bank).

What to do if a blocked number continues to call from another number?

This is a typical tactic of spammers and debt collectors. Solutions:

  • Use applications with the function blocking by pattern (for example, all numbers with a code 985).
  • Connect the service to "My Beeline" Antispam Plus (paid, but blocks number ranges).
  • Save all spammer numbers in contacts labeled "Spam" and block them in batches.
Can I find out who added me to the black list on Beeline?

No, the operator does not provide such information. The only way is to ask the subscriber directly. We examined indirect signs of blocking in section 6.
