Almost simultaneously with the advent of cellular communications have appeared and how to use this link for free or cheap. Ways in most cases criminal, that operators are actively fighting - including with law enforcement agencies. Various "clones / flash" - thing of the past, although in some regions of Russia and in the individual standards hackers still manage to snatch a piece of free mobile airtime. But we will discuss innovative solutions - albeit on the verge of foul. " It is clear that the topic was not classified as "acclaimed" (to put it mildly) by the operators, but in some cases they have themselves to blame: no need to create the conditions for such use of mobile communications. Part One: The Great temptation Callback
Want to feel like a star - sit on the tree
Other victims
Other market participants are affected by the Callback-Service to a lesser extent, but it was not done without sacrifice. Corbin completely covered his semi-anlim TA (version management of the company - in order to avoid deterioration of quality of service), BeeLine did not prolong the time to connect to TP "Super" with free incoming. MTS originally wisely refrained from imposing tariffs with free incoming. But some percentage (fraction of a percent?) Who managed to connect probably continue to use the services of Callback-mediators - otherwise the service would have long since ceased to exist on the market.
Part Two: What Does It Take to "bridge" to build
Appointment of a "bridge"
The main purpose of the device - to provide "transparent" access to a mobile phone to a wired telephone line at a price of intra-call, plus - reliable "mobilizing" an office or home phone number which tends to change relatively infrequently (as opposed to mobile). And in the summer-holiday season is a thing altogether useful. For this purpose, an additional mobile handset with a SIM-card, connected to the corresponding tariff. Minute price is determined by the rates for on-network connection between two pipes, so it is desirable to mutually "zalyubimit" used numbers.In both rooms is desired Caller ID service activated (on the base tube - optional). When a call to a landline number "bridge" to commute his mobile phone through the base pipe (fully "transparent" connection), to call a landline number to dial-net number of the basic tube: by recognizing the number of the host bridge is connected to a wire line and gives whistle- invitation without any additional return calls, the number can be dialed immediately. Some additional features discussed below.
Completion
- A basic handset with a working battery. During the operation the battery is recharged through the connecting cable
- SIM-card with the corresponding TP
- Antenna coupler and the antenna itself - is necessary. Manufacturer strongly recommends that aerial views of the sustainable reception, but it's not quite true. In fact (from experience) without antenna pickup (on the bridge?) Will cause extremely unpleasant hum in the tube
- Standard telephone cable to connect the bridge to the wired telephone network.
- Registration and support for up to 25 mobile handsets. Priorities and preferences can be set individually for different tubes (auto output in line or callback, a ban on the set of "8", etc.). In the main (control room) tube - a number of additional features including remote programming of the bridge, the reception is not addressed to a particular subscriber call.
- Using a "bridge" with the unregistered handsets through the code - if you set the password in the digital cell CODE password access to the city line available to any unregistered tube (voice-prompted for a password)
- Divert incoming call to any of the mobile handsets
- Two mode dial to a mobile subscriber - "secretive" and "avtopodnyatiem. Depending on the settings for incoming calls on the landline telephone "bridge" can either be "secretive" to divert calls to mobile, or just pick up the phone and give a voice message "wait for connection ..." and start purposefully to dial up a mobile handset for up to 1.5 minutes (useful in the zabizenyh "networks).According to the experience - even in a "covert" mode, the base tube has time to work out several attempts to dial up the connection is timed out the wired network
- Dial-up method FLEXINVEST facilities to any of the mobile handsets - if the tube is set numbers in the cells, then the local number when dialing a "bridge" line gives a voice prompt donabrat in tone mode number for the subscriber
- Reset the line without breaking the connection "FLASH"
- Last number redial - "REDIAL" (number taken from the buffer "bridge")
- Dial with a broken cellular phone - working on a mobile handset Callback after dialing
- Speed Dial from the memory of a "bridge" to 9 frequently called numbers (numbers entered into the specially selected cells)
- Extension dial number to work with alternative operators and PBX
- Listening to the room in which installed a "bridge" from the mobile handset - the access mode of the three mobile handsets (not more) as the base tube is desirable to use Siemens Me 45
- Control of the telephone line
- Hold a call for lifting the tube in a parallel phone
- Unconditional mode to connect mobile customers with a designated city number - mode push forward.
Noticed during the operation "features"
- The parameter "number of long beeps to turn on a call to a mobile phone" is configured (by default - three beeps), which basically allows you to use a parallel wired telephone. However, the owner of the mobile handset may spook "fake" calls
- Important: set at the guard house "bridge" does not work, that in general it is quite predictable - a telephone line when the alarm is blocked
- Caller ID on a mobile handset in the city always determines the number of incoming telephone, ie, If calls are received only on a landline phone, then you can safely save AONe (if paid)
- If the caller on a landline number not wait for the connection and pressed the hang up, the base keeps the tube long enough to get through to mobile.True, there is no financial loss, while trying to answer - busy tone
- If at first entering the city to pick up a parallel local phone, then mobile, then we kind of call with three participants. But with low volume and significant interference. But when answering a mobile handset parallel city phone immediately blocked
- Have to train yourself not to forget to press the end call key on the handset at the end of the conversation, short beeps the system does not recognize. Although the "bridge" here may be to do with it - PBX in place of testing was not the best
- "Weakest Link" - the connecting cable. Contact preferably before use to wash with alcohol, and placing the entire structure in the right place will not touch it - away from sin
- During component and system may include "not to be got - it is desirable to precisely follow the procedure described in the Guidelines in order to connect. In any case, the power plug should be the least
- It seems that when you turn on all the information is loaded from the SIM-card in the "bridge" and the work is taken from there as well as changing the "triggered" only after a reboot (on / off) phone or a "bridge"
- Design Corps 'bridge' a completely incomprehensible that, given the generally well-functioning unit is very annoying. Although the design - a concept quite subjective.
We thank the company for giving EWLON electronics device.
Part Three: What do think about it yourself Operators
We have formulated a few questions that have kindly agreed to answer the representatives of MTS and MegaFon. From the Beeline, unfortunately, the responses did not wait, though honestly reminded twice.That is to say nothing wanted, whether such words censorship did not miss.Questions:
- Do you consider yourself to challenge the spread of the notorious "bridge" allows you to divert to a mobile phone incoming / outgoing calls MGTS at a price of intranet traffic?
- Violate any individual using such a device of any of the points of the "Treaty" or "Rules of Service"? And if so, what / how?
- Whether struggling with "operators" or the scope is so insignificant that simply do not pay attention to them?
- Are there any legal way to deal with such companies? If yes, is there any experience of official acts or judgments?
- Restrict there access to its subscribers to such services informally (eg, blocking access to the serial numbers for calls from its network)? If yes, is there any experience of the response of these "operators" (complaints to the Ministry, trying to sue ...)
Subscription agreement MTS (both contractual and jeans) do not contain any restrictions on connecting mobile phone subscribers (which is his property) to any other devices. The agreement also does not provide for restrictions on the use of SIM-cards in the subscriber of any new device. It follows that under the existing subscription agreement prosecution of these companies can not.On the judicial decisions made in respect of such companies, it is not known, since we do not pursue these companies in court.
Subscriber access to the numbers of these operators is not limited.
MegaFon-Moscow
About "unconventional" methods:
- The use of "bridges" for us is not a big problem, because such bridges complicate the use of mobile phone and the communication quality, and therefore not widely available.
- The use of such devices is subject to p.17.6 Terms of Service Cellular ZAO Sonic Duo ", whereby the operator has the right to suspend the provision of services to users using the network does not certify the equipment as well as Section 07.17 Conditions under which the operator again may suspend the provision of services to users, uses a gateway to access the fixed network.
- The scale of the use of call-back in our network is really insignificant, because tariffs offered by suppliers of such services do not differ from the official rates of MegaFon-Moscow, and the subscriber has to pay the money and the cellular service provider, and IP-telephony operator, offering a service call-back. In addition, the channel quality IP-telephony, on which call-back, often very different for the worse the quality of the channel mobile operator, so it turns out that the subscriber uses call-back, gets up low-quality relationship overpriced for such a connection tariffs.
- But this does not mean that we do not pay attention to these "operators" are now our lawyers are working on the question of how the activities of service providers call-back is within the legal field and is consistent with the applicable regulations.
- We do not restrict access to its subscribers, the subscriber can decide whether to use his dubious services. Accordingly, complaints and claims against our company was not.
