What is the message "Subscriber in the network is not registered"?

When calling to the numbers of other subscribers, you sometimes hear a message: "A subscriber in the network is not registered". What could this mean? This question is especially relevant for cases where calls are made to numbers that are already familiar to us, which are located in the registration area of the mobile operator. What does it mean "Subscriber in the network is not registered" and how to proceed in a similar situation, this will be discussed in this article.

Possible reasons

Among the reasons why you can not get through the mobile number, you can distinguish the following:

• Incorrect dialing of the number (of course, making a mistake when the number is included in the contact list and repeatedly making calls to it is quite difficult, which can not be said about the numbers that we see for the first time or perceive by ear).
• The message "Subscriber in the network is not registered" can be heard by the subscribers of various mobile operators in cases when there was a technical malfunction of the equipment (unfortunately, such malfunctions occur frequently, and their peak usually falls on holidays).
• When entering a specific number in the black list (this term means a list of numbers from which calls, and in some cases, messages, do not arrive to the subscriber who compiled this list).
• Absence of activation (when buying a number, activation occurs after installing the SIM card in the device and making a paid action - a call, sending a text message, going online, connecting the service, changing the TP, etc. If the person has purchased a SIM card, Did not activate, it will be impossible to reach him).

"The subscriber in the network is not registered" - what else can cause such a message?

If the number is blocked, it will also be impossible to call it. Blocking can mean the following situations:

• Voluntary suspension of the provision of communication services at the request of the subscriber;
• Suspension of the provision of communication services due to the loss of the SIM card (a number of operators offer the so-called "Blocking by loss" service);
• Blocking of the number in accordance with the terms of the contract. It can occur when there is no payment for the number within a certain period. The term "inaction" differs for different telecom operators: Tele2 has 4 months, and Megafon has 3 months.

When making a call to a number that has not yet been sold, you can also hear the message "Subscriber in the network is not registered". After all, if the number is not sold, then the activation on it was not made.

Absence of registration in the operator's network

Another reason may be the subscriber's location outside the coverage area of the base stations. This means that it is not possible to register in the operator's network. By the way, when you are in the metro, the tunnel may be interrupted for a while, respectively, and registration in the network in these situations is not performed. Lack of communication can be associated with the presence of problems in the very device of the person you are trying to call.

How to be in a situation where you can not reach the operator?

"Subscriber of the network is not registered" (MTS) - what does this mean? Unequivocally answer this question is impossible - there can be many reasons. If you are in the place of someone who can not get through, the following recommendations are advisable for you:

• Try to call after a while;
• Make sure that the number that can not be reached is entered correctly, in the required format;
• Check if calls to other numbers are available (the same operator and another).

If you can not get through to you and the message "Subscriber on the network is not registered" (MTS), then try to install the SIM card in another slot (if it's a smartphone with several SIM cards) or another device ( Tablet, phone) to check the possibility of registering on the network. See if the number of the person who can not contact you has been added to the black list. Activate the SIM card, if only recently brought it from the store, - call this subscriber in return, wait for the connection. As soon as the funds for the minute of the call are written off from the account, the number is activated. If the number has not been used by you for more than a few months, then chances are that it was simply blocked. Information about the possibility of recovery should be clarified in the operator's office or contact center.

Conclusion

Thus, it is impossible to say unequivocally what the problem may be in the playback of a message that the subscriber is not registered on the network. Earlier we gave a list of possible reasons. If you are at a loss to determine the complexity, and the above methods do not help, then you need to contact the specialists of the contact center of your mobile operator: he can check the status of the number, the availability of base stations in a particular location and record the fact of poor communication for further testing by technicians .
