Many people need to always be in touch. Zero balance on the phone can be an extremely unpleasant surprise and disrupt all plans.
To prevent this from happening, a timely check of the balance of MTS, Megafon, Beeline or any other telecom operator is necessary, especially since it is not difficult to do this. How this happens, we will consider in this article the example of an MTS operator, the balance of which is checked in several ways.
USSD balance request
The essence of this method is to dial a specific alphanumeric combination on the phone. Using a USSD request, it is possible to find out the balance, minutes remaining of packages, GPRS, SMS and MMS, account debt, if the “On full trust” service is activated. Consider what commands you need to type in order to access this or that information.
- * 100 # - check the balance of MTS;
- * 100 * 1 # - remaining minutes, GPRS, SMS and MMS for connected tariffs and services;
- * 100 * 2 # - balance of minutes, GPRS, SMS and MMS for stocks limited in time;
- * 100 * 3 # - account debt for credit payments for telephone services.
When the “Favorite number” service is activated, there is also the opportunity to find out the balance of another subscriber, that same “favorite” number. To do this, send the command * 140 * number (10 digits without "8") #.
Recall that after each command you need to press the call key. The necessary information will appear on the phone’s display in just a few seconds. In some cases, after a USSD request, an SMS message will be returned. This happens when the company has news for you that it reports in parallel with the balance sheet.
Mobile assistant
Checking the balance of MTS is possible using the Mobile Assistant service. All the required information can be heard "live". To do this, call the number "111", and then follow the recommendations of the autoinformer. To save time, you can also use quick access combinations:
111-2 - find out the balance;
111-13 - find out about credited payments;
111-3 - request the service "Promised payment".
After each combination, you must also press the call key.
SMS Helper
By sending a simple SMS message to the number "111", you can also easily find out the balance in your account. The text will be: “11”. But there is one caveat. If the previous methods discussed regarding how to find out the balance of MTS are free, then you will have to pay for this SMS message according to the tariff plan.
Internet assistant
Another free service of MTS. But to use it, you need Internet access on a mobile device or on a personal computer. Using this service, not only MTS balance check is available, it is a whole “office” where you can manage your tariff. First you need to set a password. To do this, send an SMS with the text “25 (space) password” to the number “111”. Having opened the service menu, on the left you will see the available operations. In this case, we are interested in the item “Account”. Next, select "Account Status" and see all the information of interest.
Through this service it is also possible to obtain data on expenses incurred per month, to receive a detailed account statement with the numbers of subscribers, the duration of calls, the number of SMS.
