General information about the starting balance on Beeline

The starting balance is a bonus for a new subscriber.
The starting balance is the bonus that the company provides to a new subscriber when purchasing a SIM card with the selected tariff. The client receives a discount, since after activation the bonus is spent on paying for communication services. If the subscriber has topped up the account using one of the standard methods (via a terminal, ATM, operator’s website, electronic payment systems), the deposited funds will be debited after the starting balance is exhausted.

The size of the amount is not fixed, it ranges from 0 to several hundred rubles in different sets.

The amount is indicated in the subscription agreement and on the envelope with the SIM card. Activation is required even if the amount is insignificant or zero.

How to spend money quickly

To avoid losing the bonus amount, you can spend it soon after activation. Since the cost of calls and text messages in the home region is low, the starting balance, the size of which is more than 100-150 rubles, is more profitable to spend on other more expensive services, such as:

• MMS (at least 10 messages);
• international calls (several minutes of conversation);
• Internet in foreign roaming (for one day the payment will be 350 rubles or more).

The bonus can be spent on international calls.

The command *102# or #102# will help you find out about the balance of funds if your phone does not support the Cyrillic alphabet.

It is convenient to control your account status through the “Personal Account” on the Beeline portal, as well as a mobile application for a smartphone or tablet.

The subscriber will need to register on the company’s website to log into the account using a username and password.

Reasons why activation does not occur

Are you doing everything right, but nothing is happening? Let's figure out why the Beeline SIM card is not activated.

1. The problem may lie in a faulty SIM, perhaps it has been damaged. In this case, you need to replace it at the operator’s office.
2. To rule out the first option, check the operation of the SIM by inserting it into another device. If everything works successfully, then the problem lies in the device.

If you have any questions or difficulties, you can always contact the support service by calling 8 800 700 8000. Operators will definitely help you troubleshoot the problem and set up work.

And here you will find your voicemail number and learn how to connect it.

Possible problems and their solutions

If none of the methods work, you can insert the media into another similar device and repeat the necessary steps. The reason often lies in the malfunction of the gadget. When unblocking an old card, replacing it with a new one while maintaining the number can help, since over time the cards become demagnetized and become unusable.

If you have failures in working with the mobile application and the Service Guide, it is recommended to disable anti-virus software or firewall, which blocks third-party software from accessing the network.

If errors occur, you need to call the hotline of your mobile operator or visit a communication salon.

Blocked SIM card

You can connect not only a new one, but also use a previously blocked card. The activation method depends on the reasons why the old card was blocked.

• If the reason for blocking lies in non-payment, you need to top up the balance in any way convenient for you, for example, via the Internet in your personal account.

Please note that the trust payment service does not work; funds must be deposited into the account.

• A free replacement is possible in cases where you yourself decided to block the card earlier or did not use it for a long time. To do this, you need to contact the company’s office and write a corresponding application. Be prepared for the fact that you may lose your old number, and after replacement you will be assigned a new one. Here is information about all the ways to unlock a Beeline SIM card yourself.

In the video you can see how the recovery process occurs:

After blocking

Getting started with a blocked SIM depends on the reason for stopping its service. Most often, the account is “frozen” due to a minus balance. In this case, it is enough to make up the missing amount and pay the subscription fee. The SIM card will start working automatically. Cannot be used to top up your account.

When a subscriber blocks a SIM card on his own, to cancel, you need to contact Beeline personally, send an email to [email protected] or call the hotline. If the blocking occurred due to loss, you should order a new card and initiate it in the usual ways.

On a note!

If a mobile number has not been used for more than six months, it will not be possible to return it if the number was given to another subscriber. To avoid such a situation, it is enough to periodically call or send messages and top up your balance. Otherwise, access to the phone number is impossible.

How to use

You can use your Beeline starting balance only for communication services - calls, sending messages and using the Internet. If you are looking for ways to withdraw your starting balance from Beeline, then you should understand that it is not designed for payment in cash. And until you spend it, you won’t be able to transfer money to an e-wallet or pay from your phone balance.

Although resourceful Internet users offer cunning return schemes, they usually involve a large commission percentage. Read about how to disable the Mood 2 service in another review.

How to register a Beeline SIM card for a smartphone and tablet

To complete the registration process for a Beeline SIM card or any other operator, you need to use one of these methods:

• USSD commands;
• Through your personal account on the operator’s website;
• Through the "Service Guide";
• In a call center or with the help of a hotline operator.

Let's start with the first method, the simplest and most accessible to the user of any device.

USSD command

What is a USSD command? Do I need to download additional applications to enter it? Do you need a modern smartphone or something similar for this method?

USSD request is a public service that allows the user to interact with the operator using short messages. About 10 years ago, many of us used this method to update our tariff plan or find out how much money was left in our account. Yes, the standard command *111# or an alternative to it is a USSD request, just small and easy to remember.

It’s easy to guess that to activate a SIM card using this method, the user does not have to download anything or simply have a modern device for this. If your smartphone is within the coverage area of ​​your operator’s network, in this case Beeline, then you can already activate the SIM card using a USSD code. But what combination do you need to enter to complete the number registration and enjoy all the benefits of your tariff plan?

All you need to do is open the calling application and enter the following combination there, without quotes: “*101*1111#”. We confirm by pressing call, wait for two seconds and receive a notification on the screen that your SIM card has been confirmed and registered.

Through your personal account on the operator’s website

Everything is quite simple here. If you actively use a PC or laptop, or your phone is not near you right now, you can still activate your SIM card. We all know that most popular operator companies provide their clients with a special “Personal Account” on the website. What is it for?

From this web resource you can track your tariff plan, check the amount of funds in your account, and also activate a particular service. But this is all suitable if you have activated the SIM card.

To complete the registration process, you will need to log into your personal account using your personal data. When you first launch, you will have access to the “Start using” button, which will open access to your number to other subscribers.

Via service guide

This activation method is popular for users who purchased a SIM card for another device where it is impossible to enter a USSD code, for example, for a modem. This alternative method is convenient due to its simplicity and similarity to the method given above. All you will need:

• Go to the menu and click on “Account Management”.
• There we see a large list of various submenus, but we need to click “Top up account”.
• Next, click on the “Start Balance Activation” button, after which the activation process will be completed.

However, to take full advantage of all the features of the SIM card in the modem, you need to top up your account. Please note that if you have previously topped up your account using other methods or directly at the Beeline office, it is likely that you have already registered a Beeline number, since it is impossible to top up your account on an unregistered card.

In a call center or by calling technical support

If you are not sure that the above methods are within your power or you want to entrust the matter to professionals who are guaranteed to do it efficiently, we can praise you for your reasonable approach. Still, it will be more reliable if the SIM card is activated before funds are transferred to it.

Everything is quite simple here. Many older people use this method. But keep in mind that you will need to take with you identification documents and the phone itself with a SIM card already inserted.

You can call technical support by phone; you should have your passport at hand in case the operator asks you to dictate your personal data.

If you have the opportunity to top up your account immediately, it is advisable to do this when registering your card. This way you can quickly verify whether the card is registered online or not.
