Tariffs for international roaming
If a company's client intends to activate Velcom roaming, first you will need to familiarize yourself with all existing tariff plans that support this feature. It is worth noting that the price of services largely depends on both the country and the tariff package offer. The cost of connecting additional services also differs. For example, you can give the cost of calls that will be made from Germany to Belarus - 3.15 per minute of conversation. You will have to pay 25 kopecks to send a message.
Velcom employees carefully monitor the debiting of funds, which are withdrawn only after calls are made. This approach is due to the fact that specific information about the minutes used comes only a certain time after the call. Consequently, the amount of money spent will be known only after a thorough analysis by the system.
Tariffing in roaming occurs strictly per minute. To communicate outside your country, you must enable the international calling function. Otherwise, the user will not be able to make calls or send SMS messages outside the country.
Attention! Exchange rate fluctuations play an important role, so the price for calls and SMS messages can change dynamically.
Ussd team welcome Belarus
The simplest and most famous USSD request is to check the balance of your personal account: *100#. It is universal: it is valid for velcom, MTS, and life:). But other USSD operations are not always known to users, although many Slutsk residents are not averse to simplifying their lives by using USSD capabilities. We bring to your attention a list of some USSD requests of mobile operators. Beeline operator subscribers need to dial the command *110*10# and press the call button.
But first, let’s find out what our current needs are? Knowing this, you can understand whether you need them or not. Maybe you can do without them completely? USSD requests from Velcom, like any mobile operator, are nothing more than a means of subscriber self-service.
Description
When using a cell phone, it is often difficult for us to control the balance of our personal account. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a situation when, at the most necessary moment, our phone is in the red and outgoing calls and messages are blocked until the balance is replenished. But even with such blocking, the MTS subscriber is given the opportunity to contact the person he needs.
Having a negative balance, subscribers of the mobile operator MTS can easily send a homeless person to MTS with a request to call their number back. This service was called “Call me back”, and people call it “Dump the homeless person”.
Note that in this case it is possible to call and send such a message not only to an MTS subscriber, but also to other mobile networks.
The undoubted advantage of such a service is that it is completely free. At the same time, taking advantage of such an offer will not be difficult.
In order to send a homeless person to MTS to call the number back, you need to dial *110*phone number# on your phone. Accordingly, we indicate the phone number of the subscriber to whom such a short message should be sent. You can send no more than five such messages per day, even with a negative balance.
Attention! The telephone number is indicated without 8.
Throwing a homeless person at MTS will not be difficult. However, you should be aware of the existing restrictions on sending such requests. Subscribers of all MTS tariff plans without exception can use this service. This mobile operator also offers the ability to send requests asking for a balance replenishment. You can read more about the services provided, as well as the USSD requests that must be sent when receiving such options and services, on the official website of this operator.
Special conditions
All Velcom clients, without exception, can use the service. Neither the tariff plan, nor the payment terms, nor the subscriber status can affect this opportunity. The commands are effective both when the subscriber is within his home country and when he is roaming. Message texts are not saved in the phone device. If necessary, the request can be sent an infinite number of times.
The principle of operation is the same in all telephone devices, but the menu display may vary. While responding to a request, a dialog box may appear to contact the user. The subscriber's choice of answer to the system question must be made using numbers.
Even if the phone is set to Cyrillic, responses to requests in the form of USSD commands may come in Latin. This is due to the fact that large texts are automatically translated into Latin mode through transliteration. But it is not difficult to read them, since familiar writing is conveyed using Latin characters.
Fixed traffic packages
In many cases, it is much more profitable for the Internet in roaming to use ready-made packages. They are provided for the period specified in the contract, and immediately after the service is automatically disabled. Unused traffic will be cancelled.
Velcom A1 is actively working in this direction and currently offers 3 excellent options for saving:
- Roaming 500 MB with a one-time fee of 29 rubles for 7 days;
- Roaming 1 GB with a one-time fee of 49 rubles for 7 days;
- Roaming 1 GB (A1) with a one-time fee of 5.9 rubles for 30 days (can be connected additionally to others).
Check out the list of countries available for the first two options.
The specified services are not available on all Velcom tariffs, so please check with your operator to see if the connection is possible.
Of particular interest is the relatively new 1 GB package for 5.9 rubles per month, valid in the networks of A1 group operators in the countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia and Macedonia.
Sending a request
Next, we will tell you how to transfer a homeless person from MTS to MTS. To do this, you need to remember a simple USSD command *110*subscriber_number#. For example, *110*89181234567#. The number is indicated in 11-digit format, separated by 8
. The request will be sent to the called interlocutor instantly, immediately after it is sent.
In the same way, you can send a free card from MTS to any other interlocutor, for example, a Beeline subscriber. If there is no money in your account, but you really want to call someone, you can not send the homeless person, but ask other people to top up your account - to do this you need to send a USSD request *116*subscriber_number#. After this, you just have to wait for a call back or replenishment of your account. You can also use it - it will not allow you to send a homeless person, but it will allow you to send an SMS or make a call at the expense of another subscriber.
You can get detailed information about this service on the operator’s official website.
Activating SIM in modem and tablet
Unlike a SIM card for a smartphone, which most users immediately install in their phone after purchase, many prefer to activate a SIM card on a tablet or modem at home.
There should also be no difficulties with tablets, since SIM card activation occurs in the same way as a smartphone. It is enough to install it correctly in the device, wait for registration on the network, and if necessary, check the balance, and go online to any third-party site (except operator resources).
If the SIM card is used in an iPad, then you will need to go into the settings and in the “My Beeline” menu select “SIM card activation” in the “Other services” section.
Activating the number in the modem also does not require complex actions. It is enough to install a SIM in the device and run the corresponding software on your computer, which is activated after connecting the device to the PC.
In some cases, you may need to activate your starting balance using your SIM card number. You will also be prompted to do this automatically the first time you connect your device. If you missed this point and did not activate the balance, you can do this through the settings of the Internet connection program by going to the account management section.
How to activate a Megafon SIM card
When starting to activate your Megafon SIM card, perform some paid action: call or send an SMS. If this works, you have successfully activated the card. Otherwise, contact the communication center or call the technical support line by dialing 8-800-333-05-00, and the operator will provide you with the necessary assistance.
You can use the Internet service, for this you need:
- go on the website
- enter SIM card number
- enter the PUK code in the lower field
- fill in the required fields

After activation you will receive an SMS message. If you have another device with a Megafon card, you can activate it using it. To do this, you need to dial a special combination: *121* PUK code *Phone number#, where PUK code is a set of numbers on a plastic card with a new SIM card, “Phone number” is the subscriber number that you purchased for use.
