There are several ways to transfer money from MTS to Megafon; the user can only choose the one that is convenient for him. The main thing to remember is that the company may charge a fee for using this service. Remember that all SMS tranche confirmations are absolutely free. If the device displays a window saying “Cash may be charged for this transaction,” then most likely it’s a scam. There are other ways to pay for mobile communications, for example, payment by credit card.

How to check receipt of payment

Having chosen the method of sending money and taking the necessary actions, the user must make sure that the money was transferred to the desired address. You can do this:

1. Via USSD. Dial the standard combination to check your balance *100#. If funds were withdrawn from the account, the transfer took place.
2. In your personal account on the portal or in the “My MTS” mobile client. The service allows you not only to make payments and connect communication and Internet services, but also to track your account status, order details, etc.

Usually the recipient receives money instantly. In some cases this takes 5-15 minutes. The addressee can inform the sender about the receipt of the transfer by sending an SMS or calling. There is no other way to find out anything - the information is strictly confidential.

If money was debited from the MTS balance, but was never delivered to the recipient, you need to make sure that the addressee's number is indicated correctly. If everything is specified correctly, only customer support operators or call center employees can help you solve the problem in person.

You can make a mobile transfer from MTS to a Megafon number both offline using SMS and USSD, and online by logging in to the website or application. In this case, there is no fee for performing the transaction. The forwarding conditions are standard, as well as for sending to numbers of other operators. You can verify that funds have been credited to the Megafon subscriber’s balance by contacting the recipient.

Setting up auto payment

Regularly topping up your balance has its benefits, especially if you don’t have constant access to funds. Due to their age, a special category of mobile users cannot independently pay for communication services. These subscribers include children and the elderly. The operator provided for this feature and offered customers an automatic account replenishment service.

Automatic payment is activated on the company's website. To regularly transfer money to a specific mobile number, it is enough to indicate the recipient, the amount of payment and the frequency of the procedure in the empty fields.

Another option for enabling automatic payment is using a special command. On the keyboard, dial *114* number *X* amount #, where instead of X indicate:

• 1, if money must arrive every day;
• 2 when replenishing your account once a week;
• 3 – monthly transfer.

By pressing the call button, a notification will be sent to the sender’s number about the need to confirm the action by entering a code combination. As soon as the auto payment is registered, the client will receive money on the SIM card within the specified time period. In this case, the system will debit 7 rubles from the sender’s account. Further maintenance of automatic payment will be free of charge.

Additional Information

There are no special tricks in replenishing the numbers of other MTS subscribers, but the system has some nuances.

1. The minimum payment is 10 rubles, the maximum is 5,000. At the same time, no more than 10 transactions can be made per day, a maximum of 30,000 can be transferred in one day, and the total amount for the month should still not exceed 40,000 rubles.
2. The transfer service, either one-time from number to number or automatic, may not be available to iPhone users. Solving the problem is very simple, you need to go to the “Settings” menu section, find “Messages” there and switch the iMessage switch flag to “Disabled” mode.
3. If you are going to transfer a large amount from an MTS number to the number of another operator, then first withdrawing money to a bank card and then topping up your account from it will be more profitable - this will reduce the commission amount by more than 2 times.

That's all the subtleties you need to know when transferring funds between numbers. If something doesn’t work out for you, feel free to contact the consultants of the nearest communication store - they will help in any matter. Use MTS services with pleasure!
