Channel One and Rusfond: SMS with the word “good” saves the health and lives of hundreds of children. Podari Zhizn Foundation and TV Center raise funds for the treatment of Vadim Samkov How MTS and MegaFon are developing mobile charity
Help seriously ill children. It is very easy to take part in it - just send an SMS from your mobile phone to the short number 5541 with the word "DOBRO" typed in the letters of the Russian or Latin alphabet.
The cost of one message is 75 rubles. I draw your attention: in a response SMS from a mobile operator, you may be asked to confirm the transfer. These are the requirements of the Law "On Communications". Please do this, otherwise the money will not reach sick children. But it is your help that is often the only hope for hundreds of families to perform a saving operation on a child, put the baby on his feet, teach him to smile, restore health and beauty.
Together, holding hands, they seem to guard his sweet dream. Sasha is two and a half years old. He has just undergone a complex heart operation, which means that the worst for mom and dad is over. There will be no more unbearable seizures, sleepless nights, pain and tears.
“When I arrived at 6 in the morning, he smiles, says to me - mom. The next phrase was, of course, where is dad? Where is dad?” recalls Tatyana Ivanova, Sasha's mother.
They were always there. Tatyana remembers how she grabbed her husband's hand when the doctor first told them: your son has a complex heart defect, and only one place can fix it, the children's hospital in Philadelphia. Parents gave everything they had, but even this was not enough. Just at that moment, you, the viewers of Channel One, appeared in their lives. Millions of saving SMS with the word "WELCOME" to number 5541 come daily from all over the world, which means that the little heart will beat evenly.
The audience would know how difficult it is for him - it's so easy to help his mother collect things. almost the entire left side of his body does not obey. Due to the fact that the baby's brain develops incorrectly, epileptic seizures can also begin over time. Yegor's mother Marina Mikhailova did not give up, even when her father left the family due to the difficulties that had begun, and nevertheless found doctors in Germany who agreed to help.
You and your mother also believed. You have collected not only unthinkable for Yegor's family 6 million rubles for treatment. There were so many messages with the word "DOBRO" to the short number 5541 that the sent 73 million rubles have already saved dozens of other lives.
Among them was Adelina Kovalenko. 4.5 million helped her get back on her feet. The girl underwent a rare operation, which doctors call the "Eiffel Tower": after all, a very similar design now holds her spine.
“When we put her on her feet, when she stood up straight for the first time in her life and walked, albeit limping, but she walked evenly, her back was even, it was beyond words at all,” says Olga Leontieva, grandmother, with tears Adeline.
For her six years, Adeline is surprisingly serious. Almost does not smile and even asks her grandmother not to cry when she remembers what their family had to go through.
When Lisa Bal found out that television would come to visit them, she did not sleep all night: she tidied up the room, helped her mother iron her favorite dress and promised to be an exemplary daughter. Responsive, sociable, now she smiles at us for the camera, and more recently she was embarrassed to leave the house once again and cried when the guys from the kindergarten teased her. From the age of three, the right and left halves of Lisa's face began to develop asymmetrically.
“One side grows, the other does not ... By the age of 14, the deformation of the face will simply go completely, the nose will go to the side. They don’t give us quotas for this business, they think that the child is a freak - and a freak ... They say - it interferes with your health No. Well, that's all, but purely aesthetically, nobody cares, "recalls Galina Kosheleva, Lisa's mother.
The generosity of the audience helped. They not only raised money for three operations for Lisa, but also gave her hope for simple human happiness. Now Lisa can talk and smile.
“It’s just that we never let her lose heart either, we told her all the time that she was the most beautiful girl with us. Therefore, she didn’t particularly complex either then or now,” says Lisa’s mother proudly.
A whole army of sympathetic people from all over the world. It's you, the viewers of Channel One. During the three years of the existence of the Rusfond project, you have already saved so many lives, but there are still thousands of children left. And for them, each of your messages with the word "GOOD" is the last chance they dream of.
Since the beginning of the campaign, 1879 children have already received assistance. But many more are in need of expensive treatment. You can transfer money by bank transfer, using payment systems, as well as by sending a message to the short number 5541 with the word "DOBRO", typing it in the letters of the Russian or Latin alphabet.
The cost of one SMS is 75 rubles. Channel One and the Russian Aid Fund guarantee that all funds will be spent on the treatment of children. Detailed reports are published on the Rusfond website. The first channel will also talk about children who have already been helped by our viewers and those who still need support.
None of us wants to pay twice, and even more so, no one wants to pay for anything, and especially for a quietly imposed “for nothing”. Using his mobile phone, a person quite reasonably expects that the money spent on paying for communication services will go only to what he himself has done:
call
The relevance of the article was checked by us as of 03/13/2020, by using the site you agree to the Rules
- to his calls
- his sms,
- his internet traffic.
If it so happened that money was regularly debited from the account, daily and in equal amounts, and the owner of the phone, it would seem, did nothing specifically for this, most likely a paid mobile subscription was issued to his number - what is it, read below
Its essence is that the cellular user somehow agreed to receive regular information on a paid basis, for example, you received an SMS from the above number with the text: “send SMS ....”. At the same time, information such as: what kind of service, what kind of subscription, what kind of site, the cost of a subscription, how to remove a subscription or how to disable it is often not directly shown.
Someone, a partner of your operator, in professional slang called a content provider, provides you with content for a fee:
- provides information,
- provides a service by providing access to an online game, website, program, etc.
The operator turns out to be on the sidelines, as he publicly warns on his website that yes, there is paid content, that it is provided by third-party organizations, to which the operator himself has nothing to do.
He does not, except for the fact that he writes off the money from the subscriber's account and he also provides the short number to the content provider.
In most cases, the cellular operator (megaphone, mts, beeline, tele2) leases the short four-digit number 6162, receiving a fee for this, and as a rule, a percentage of the amounts paid by the owner of the phone in favor of the provider.
SMS to short number 6162
A little apart from paid subscriptions is another way to take money from the population - SMS from short numbers. The nature of the relationship in the triangle user-operator-service provider remains the same, only the amount from the subscriber is debited one-time in response to the action proposed in such an SMS, for example, participation in such events as: quiz, survey, social research, game, etc. . P.
Who gets your money
So, it is clear that the user is the loser. Where, then, does the river of profit flow? Custom money? - outlined above. And this, of course, is a simplification that there are only two beneficiaries; in practice, the schemes are many times more complicated.
They include so-called aggregators - wholesale purchasers of short numbers and holders of mutual settlement schemes with telecom operators. the already mentioned content providers are grouped around the aggregators, owning sites on which the sale of services is organized and partners who collect and provide the entire scheme with traffic. Setting up this whole cycle of withdrawing subscriber money is being adjusted in such a way that telecom operators, as the last link to the user and payer, remain not guilty from the point of view of the law in most cases when claims are made.
legislation
Is there any basis for such claims, strictly speaking? After all, the user at some point voluntarily performed some action that provided him with the place of the victim in the chain (relative to the short number 6162). It is this position that telecom operators adhere to when a subscriber, indignant at the loss of money, begins to look for the truth.
The answer is yes, there is
And this is called the federal law of July 23, 2013 N 229-FZ "On Amendments to the Federal Law" On Communications ".
In it, Article 2 of the Basic Law is supplemented by subparagraph 34.1, which defines what “content services” are.
The legislator made this definition as general as possible, practically fitting everything that is not actually a connection under it. Those. if the user, using the phone and through the channels of the telecom operator, receives a quote,
… reference, entertainment and (or) other additionally paid information…”, gets the opportunity to “… participate in voting, games, contests and similar events…,
Then he, the user, receives the content service. And it, in turn, being provided with the participation of third parties, falls under the addition of paragraph 5 of Article 44 of the Federal Law "On Communications", which prescribes a consumer protection mechanism by:
Free consultation does not oblige you to anything!

- firstly, the possibility of creating, at his request, a separate account for paying only for content services;
- secondly, the requirement to obtain explicit consent to receive such services;
- in the third - about exhaustive, including prices and names of suppliers, informing about these services before obtaining consent.
Another addition established by 229-FZ, in paragraph 5 of Article 54 of the Basic Law, states that services provided in violation of any of the above are not subject to payment. And finally, article 68 of the main communications law is supplemented by paragraph 8, which directly indicates the operator's responsibility for the implementation of article 44 (see above).
Let us summarize the legislative information by projecting the rights and obligations prescribed in it onto the practical side of life.
If the user consciously wants to become a consumer of content services, then you can secure your account for paying for communications by declaring your intention to open a separate content account to cover the costs of mobile subscriptions and SMS from short numbers. When it is exhausted, the funds intended for regular conversations and SMS will not be affected.
For Beeline and TELE2 operators, such an action is automated, and is carried out by sending a USSD request, *110*5062# and *160#, respectively. For replenishment, familiarization with the balance, sets of commands are also provided.
Megafon and MTS require a full-time appearance at the office and presentation of a passport, and it must be understood that regardless of the method of expression of will, the very fact of opening an account confirms voluntary consent to receive content services, and strictly speaking, it makes it unnecessary to inform about the details (in including price) of the same mobile subscription.
How to return money from number 6162
If, nevertheless, it happened that an inexplicable loss of money from a mobile account was discovered, you need to try to remember if any annoying SMS message came from number 6162, for example, with a proposal to find out the most accurate weather forecast or compare watches with the London Observatory?
Was the answer "yes" sent to him?
Or, maybe, in the heat of Internet surfing, a phone number was entered to receive a registration code on some little-known, but enticing resource?
Services for checking the availability of paid services on the number 6162
In order not to speculate, you need to use the service (and each operator has such) to inform you about the availability of paid services associated with your number, including subscriptions to 6162
The most informative is access through the web interface of your personal account, and in the absence of the Internet or the desire to use it, the good old USSD request will help.
for "megaphone" - *583#, for "beeline" - *110*09#, "MTS" will enlighten about this by command *111*919#, "TELE2" - *189#
If the acquired knowledge has shown that there are subscriptions, and money is being rapidly debited from the account because of this, one should not hesitate. Using the same tools, you need to disable the subscription, and the debiting of money will stop.
This is done both with the help of a personal account, and personal assistance services, by calling the support service. The USSD commands specified here will also allow you to select the desired command - “disable”.
Also, a quick cure for a paid subscription when a user receives an SMS about the activation of this service will be a response message consisting of the word stop (or STOP).
Refund of spent funds
The loss of money for an unnecessary paid subscription, by accident, through negligence or ignorance, and even more so through someone’s selfish intent, will certainly inspire justice to be restored. I want to return what was lost because of the number 6162, but here is the difficulty. As already mentioned, from the point of view of the operator, namely to him we pay, and it is to him that we will go with a claim, the user himself, voluntarily, even if not consciously, but voluntarily committed actions that led to the activation of a paid subscription, and, as a result, to write off funds.

The above, of course, does not mean that it is not necessary to try, it is necessary, and the Internet is replete with stories of successful disputes. Sometimes, in order to avoid image losses, in mass cases, when the problem of paid subscriptions becomes public, is exaggerated in social networks, operators meet halfway and restore the status quo of the wallets of their subscribers who have suffered from their ignorance and inattention.
Knowledge is not superfluous, it is an axiom, and with regards to the security of your own money as well. Having an idea about the structure of paid subscriptions, including the number 6162, about the work of short SMS numbers for someone else, it is easier to navigate, it is easier not to make mistakes, there are more chances not to regret the lost money and time. Let us be careful when pressing buttons, entering our data and phone numbers, and, for sure, there will be fewer disappointments in life associated with mobile communications.

In the text of the message, write the amount of the donation in numbers. Today, together with the Give Life Foundation, we are raising money to save Sasha Bodirog. The girl has cancer of the lymphatic system. After a long treatment, it turned out that only one very expensive drug can help a child. Its price for the course is 1 million 700 thousand rubles. Our correspondent Ksenia Nekrasova in more detail.
Happy moments of the recent past. For Sasha, these photos on the phone are much more than just memories. Each frame gives hope to return to the old life. Like it was only six months ago.
Sasha Bodiroga: “I used to go to the theater and go to aerobics. She performed, but now nothing is possible. At first I could not come to my senses, I did not realize that this was all with me.
It all started with a high temperature. For almost three months, the girl was constantly tormented by cough, fever and pressure. While the doctors were treating Sasha for pneumonia, the cancer of the lymphatic system was rapidly spreading throughout the body. The tumor had invaded the lung and bones. The girl was fading before her eyes, but she found the strength to endure 5 blocks of chemotherapy, dozens of droppers and several blood transfusions. Without tears and fear, which I have learned to overcome in these few months.
Sasha Bodiroga:“In my entire life, only in the summer did I feel what an injection is. It hurt at first, but now I'm used to it. All examinations, biopsies, this is all for the first time.”
Natalya Bodiroga, Sasha's mother:“Growed up. I know that I have a strong spirit. never cried. There were reasons for tears, but she never.
Sasha did not cry when she found out the results of her six-month struggle for life. Doctors admitted that chemotherapy was powerless. The last chance to save the drug "Adcetris". The first block proved its effectiveness. And now the most important thing is not to interrupt the treatment.
Veronika Fominykh, hematologist, Federal Scientific and Practical Center:“In a similar situation with a different pathology, we use intensive chemistry. But in this variant, lymphomas are not effective and do not improve the prognosis. The situation would have been quite sad if Adsetris had appeared a few years ago - it acts directly on tumor cells, those that cause disease in Sasha.
The cost of the drug for the course of treatment is 1 million 700 thousand rubles. On the Internet, the girl's friends organized a charity fair - they sell home-made bracelets and jewelry, giving the collected funds to her parents. You can also help save Sasha's life by sending an SMS with the donation amount to the short number 6162.
Natalya Bodiroga, Sasha's mother:“Sasha is very kind, she definitely won’t leave in trouble, all friends know this. I sometimes wake up in the morning and don't understand. It seems like a dream, a dream. In reality, this is not, but it is reality. I look at Sasha and this is reality.”
Because of the catheter, Sasha has to be extremely careful - the slightest blow can cause bleeding. Taking off a protective mask is also life-threatening, there is practically no immunity left. She herself did not have time to understand at what point she was able to get used to the new rules of life, which, after recovery, she really wants to forget.
Sasha Bodiroga:“Only patience and hope that I will recover and everything will be wonderful and in the old way.”
You, the viewers of the Fifth Channel, can also give life to Alexandra. To do this, send an SMS to the short number 6162. In the text of the message, write in numbers the amount that you are ready to donate, it will be automatically debited from your mobile account.
