How to hide phone number by sending/receiving SMS or using nickname

All your SMS forwarded at e-mail address should be signed as  80YYÕÕÕÕÕÕÕ@sms.mts.com.ua where YY is the MTS, MTS Prepaid code; ÕÕÕ ÕÕÕÕ is the number of your mobile phone.

In order to hide your mobile number send SMS with your Latin Nickname at the number 10105000. The price of SMS to the number 10105000 is standard.

If your Nickname has not been previously registered by another subscriber, you will receive a message about registering your Nickname. Now the system will use your alias instead of your phone number to send and receive e-mail.

Now your nickname will be used by the system instead of your phone number for transmission of your email letters.

Moreover, you may use messages at:

 

Example: Subscriber with a telephone number 8050310 ÕÕÕÕ registered the Nikneym of nick. Now the system will send a report, naming an author n³ck@sms.mts.com.ua.

If your Nickname was previously registered by another subscriber, you will receive SMS informing that your Nickname is already registered. In this case you need to register another nickname by sending a message to the number 10105000.

Thus, the favour of Nikneym allows:

  • Hiding phone number during email transmission, and
  • Share a new address with partners hiding a number of your mobile phone.
