- Call 111 and ask the auto-informer.
To find out your Beeline balance, you can call *102#, after which account information will appear on the screen.
With the Tele2 operator, the balance is checked using the command *105#.
In addition, all operators provide a personal account function. To use it you need:

You can check your balance on your MTS tablet in several ways. Checking your balance from a tablet is practically no different from a similar action from a mobile phone. We’ll tell you in detail how to check the balance on your tablet while in MTS service.
USSD requests
Using the virtual keyboard of your tablet device, you type USSD requests that help you find out the status of your account and the balance of packages of minutes, SMS and Internet traffic.
The cash balance in the account is checked by standard dialing the short command *100#.
The *100*1# command will help you clarify the remaining number of packages of minutes, SMS messages, Internet traffic included in the main package of your tariff plan.
*100*2# will make available information about the number of minutes, traffic and SMS purchased through promotions from the company.
How to find out the balance on a tablet computer
If the owner of the tablet has connected the Internet, then most likely this is a service from a mobile operator. You purchase a SIM card for mobile Internet at the desired rate and use the Internet on your tablet. But there is a need to control the account on the SIM card, and this is not always clear. Especially if you don't have an unlimited tariff.
To find out the balance on your tablet, there are several ways that differ in the capabilities of the tablet computer itself and the connected mobile operator.
First way. Check the balance from the tablet itself using the standard requests for the telecom operator. These can be USSD requests, sending SMS, Internet assistant.
To do this, a GSM module must be installed on the tablet (these are also found in mobile phones), which allows you to make calls from the tablet on the cellular network. The presence of the module must be checked in the device specifications, in the instructions or on the manufacturer’s website.
The presence of a 3G designation does not always make it possible to make calls. If you have 3G, then it is possible that you can make calls on a 3G network, or it may be that the SIM card is only for the Internet. To unlock the ability to make calls, you need to install another firmware on the tablet (does not always help). The firmware can be found on websites and forums for a specific tablet model. The firmware unlocks the hidden capabilities of the tablet, because manufacturers often specifically limit the capabilities of devices in software.
You can find out whether the tablet can make calls and send SMS by the presence of such sections as the dialer, phone book, and message module (SMS) in the tablet’s functions.
Second way. If it is not possible to make a call from the tablet, then remove the SIM card from the tablet and insert it into the phone. You make a standard request to the mobile operator and receive information about the account on this SIM card. After that, return the SIM cards to their place.
Third way. If the SIM card can be used for the Internet, but there is no way to make calls from the tablet, then create your personal account on the website of the company that provides mobile Internet. Then add this site to your favorites on your tablet and at any time you can go to your account via the Internet and check your account, and you don’t need to call for this. You will need to enter your card number and password. Only when creating an account will you have to use the phone, because you will receive SMS when creating an account.
Fourth way. Almost all mobile operators provide the ability to check your account on another SIM card. That is, you can check the account on the tablet’s SIM card from your phone. Only both SIM cards must be from the same operator. Each operator has a different name for this service.
Fifth way. When you connect a SIM card, a menu for this SIM card should appear in the tablet. You need to look for it either in the settings or in the parameters or in the service data. There should always be a balance check item in the SIM card menu; through this item you can also check your account.
Sixth method. Using special applications (programs) to check the balance on the tablet. Such applications can be found on the market, most of them are free. When installing them, you may need to enter SIM card data so that the program makes requests to the operator. On the tablet screen they are presented as a separate widget. Some of them can check the account with the provider via an Internet connection.
Balance widget - application for displaying balance. Requests via the Internet (no USSD or SMS). All Balance is a universal tool for those who want to control the balance of not only their cell phone, Internet provider, hosting, SIP provider, but also need to monitor the balance of loved ones and friends. The program does not have USSD and SMS, because... None of these methods can be used to obtain a balance, for example, from an Internet provider or sip provider.

- using the free USSD command *105#;
- by calling the short number 697 (1 rub/min).
Sending requests through the SIM card menu
If you are a user of Apple products, then everything is not so simple. The thing is that the manufacturer does not provide the ability to enter a USSD request on the iPad using the stock firmware itself. More precisely, such a possibility exists, but in a very truncated version. In the “Settings” - “SIM - Programs” menu there is a list of USSD requests predefined by the operator, but often using commands from this list it is impossible to even find out the balance. Usually it contains a list of commands for connecting/removing services.
What does the Beeline operator provide?
It offers its subscribers to check their balance in several ways. For example, you can get complete information about the status of your funds by dialing the command “*102#”. Sometimes when you enter this number, you receive the following information: “The code was entered incorrectly.” In this case, another command will help: #102#. Another, always available, way is to call a consultant on the toll-free number - 0697, 0611, 0622. The employee will politely and patiently answer all your questions. If the call function is not enabled, then you can check the balance on your Beeline tablet using the SIM menu application or using the service: *111#. Information about your account status is presented on the first page of your “personal account”. The provider also offers, which can be obtained by requesting the command: *110*9#. But not all devices support this format. It’s easy to check, just dial the combination: *110*902#. If everything is in order, a code will be sent to enable this function.
