You can top up like a regular number, the only difference is that its first digit will change from 9 to 6 .
Using the USSD command
Use the following combinations:
- Connect without auto-replenishment - *110*5062#;
- With auto-replenishment - only through your personal account;
- You can top up your balance through payment terminals;
- Check balance - *622#;

Useful Beeline commands for managing your phone balance

- If you started using an old telephone that does not display messages in Cyrillic (Russian characters), you can fix this when entering a request *102#;

The SIM card has not been used for a long time
If you haven’t called anyone, sent messages or topped up your balance for more than six months, then the card has been automatically deactivated. It can only be restored at the customer service office. Don't forget to take a passport or a notarized power of attorney in your name if the SIM card does not belong to you. You will have to write an application to restore your SIM card. Please note that the activation procedure in this case will take quite some time.
Sometimes, when a number is not used for too long (usually more than a year), it may be transferred to another subscriber. Of course, you can return it, but not for free. Some people think that it is easier and cheaper to buy another SIM card.

- Serial . One city telephone number can be assigned to several lines simultaneously;
- Multichannel . A landline number is assigned to multiple trunks;

At the same time, corporate clients (legal entities and individual entrepreneurs) can connect to a direct number at any Beeline business tariff. In this case, the cost of calls is calculated in accordance with the current tariff plan, as if the subscriber were using a regular mobile phone.

How to choose and connect a direct landline number to Beeline?
