How to find out via SMS?

Let's look at the answer to the question of how, using the example of the most famous bank - Sberbank of Russia. This is the most popular lender in our country. The operation of checking the balance to become familiar with the available amount of rubles on the card can be performed by sending an SMS message to number 9OO. Sending SMS is free.

To do this, type the following text: balance (last four digits of the card). Carefully check how the numbers are entered. There must be a space between the word and the numbers. This is a very important nuance. You can write the word Remaining to the receiving party instead of the word Balance. The system perceives these words as the same. In this case, the word should be written in capital letters. If you write it in lowercase, you won’t be able to find out the remainder. After sending, wait for a counter SMS with the indicated card balance. The message will contain detailed information about your account.

After each action that entails debiting funds from the phone or after replenishing it, up-to-date information about the amount of remaining funds appears on the phone screen. The action can be anything: SMS, call, connecting an option, using Internet traffic - everything for which, according to the terms of your tariff, money is withdrawn. A few nuances:

• The balance will be displayed only after you complete the action - end the conversation, stop using the Internet, etc.
• Information about how much money is in your account disappears from the screen if you turn off and then turn on the device. It will appear again after spending the funds or receiving them on the phone.

As it turns out, checking the balance on your phone is not at all difficult. Try all the methods and choose the one that suits you best.

What is USSD command

There are so-called USSD commands. These are short commands that the user enters on their phone. They allow you to quickly obtain the necessary information “right here and now.”

More precisely, USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) is a technology that ensures the exchange of information between the subscriber’s mobile phone and the operator’s hardware and software complex in real time.

There are different USSD commands, but each operator has its own short command to check the balance. Quite often it looks like “*100#” (without quotes). Instead of the number 100, there may be another option: 102 or 105, or something else.

On the phone screen

If you want the current balance to be constantly displayed on the display of your mobile device, install . The option is provided for a subscription fee of 1.5 rubles per day. Features of provision and restrictions:

1. The account status is not displayed at the time of making a call or when entering the network space.
2. Information will appear only after performing an action that affects the balance - topping up, calling, sending SMS.
3. The balance check will start working an hour after connection.
4. On some devices, the balance will be displayed not on the main screen, but in the toolbar.
5. Valid at home, while traveling domestically and abroad. The provider does not guarantee correct operation in international roaming.

To activate, use your personal account, mobile application or enter the combination *134#. To disable, follow the same steps as at startup.

All ways to check the balance on a Megafon number

There are seven ways you can view your balance:

1. Entering USSD command,
2. Sending an SMS request,
3. Checking in your Personal Account,
4. Checking in the application for mobile devices,
5. Using the SIM menu
6. Call to the service center,
7. Contact the company's showroom.

Regardless of the method chosen, there is no fee for such verification. There are also no restrictions on the number of checks per day.

Entering USSD command

To check your balance on your Megafon number, dial a simple USSD combination on your phone: * 100 #. By sending the command, the screen will display the amount of available funds at the time of verification, as well as the amount of funds due on the account, that is, the debt.

There is another important command, sending which you will receive an SMS message on your phone with a list of useful USSD combinations that may be useful to you: * 105 * 693 #. The message will contain combinations that allow you to check your balance, manage your number, activate some services, such as “Promised payment”, “Call me”, “Pay for me” and more. All these services are somehow related to your account. Therefore, they can be useful, especially if you are left without funds in your account and you do not have the opportunity to replenish it.

Sending an SMS request

If it is more convenient for you to check your balance via SMS message, then send the text “Balance” or any other word on your phone to the Megafon service number 000100. In response, you will receive a message with the number of account balances, as well as the number of bonus points, if any are activated on your number. You can also send a blank message. Sending such an SMS in your home region is free, and in roaming it is paid in accordance with the prices for roaming services.

However, this method has its drawback - if you have it activated, then in the message you will be able to see not the actual balance or debt, but the balance of funds taking into account service charges. This situation may confuse you, because you may think that the amount indicated in the message remains in the account, however, this is a kind of borrowed funds.

To avoid such confusion, use another SMS request - send a message with the text “Balance” to the number 0500. Within a minute you will receive a response message containing your real balance, as well as a separately specified credit limit, if activated. If this service is not activated, then you will simply see the account balance.

Checking in your Personal Account

This verification method requires an Internet connection. Using this method, you can check the balance on both regular and corporate Megafon numbers, as well as view the activated tariff, see all connected options, configure various services, disable unnecessary functions and much more.

Step-by-step instructions for checking your account through your Personal Account (PA):

1. Go to the official website of Megafon.
2. In the upper right corner, click on the “Personal Account” button.
3. On the new page, enter your phone number and access code to your account in the “Password” field. If you do not remember the access code, then reset the old one and receive a new code via SMS by sending the combination from your phone: * 105 * 00 #. In the “Password” field, enter the new access code for your account.
4. Once on the main page of the personal account, in the left column in large letters there will be a section called “Account”. Under this name, the amount of funds available today, the number of bonus points (if bonuses are activated) and a telephone number are displayed.

Attention! If activated, the amount of credit funds will be displayed in the “Available for today” section. If you click on the down arrow located to the right of the indicated number, the amount of real funds that are in the account or that you owe will open.

Verification in the application for mobile devices

If you have access to the network, then via the Internet you can find out the balance not only in your Personal Account, but also in the Megafon Personal Account mobile application, where you need to enter a phone number as a login and also specify an access code. The code in the application can be used the same as for your Personal Account. If you do not remember the access code, then, as in the previous option, use the USSD command: * 105 * 00 #. A message will be sent to your phone with a new code, which is suitable for both the personal account and the application.

If the application is not yet installed on your phone, then download it from the Google Play application store if your phone runs on Android or the App Store if your phone runs on iOS. In the application store, find a search engine and enter “Megafon Personal Account”. Download the official application (the first one in the search results) and wait for it to install. Next, open the application, enter the phone number and use the access code that you previously used for your personal account. When you first log into your Personal Account, the application will ask you to create and enter a four-digit PIN code.

After logging in, on the start page of the application, the first thing you will see is the balance available for today. Below will be the remaining points (if bonuses are activated) and the phone number.

Using the SIM menu

Using a SIM portal is an alternative method that allows you to find out the balance on a Megafon SIM card, although it is less convenient compared to sending a standard USSD code intended for this role. The SIM portal allows you not only to check your balance, but also to perform many other actions.

To open the MegafonPro SIM portal, dial the combination on your phone: * 105 #. A window will appear on the screen with the following sections:

• “1 – My office”,
• “2 – Services/Options”,
• “3 – Tariffs”,
• “4 – Internet”,
• “5 – At 0”,
• “6 – Memo.”

Click on the word “Reply” and enter the number “1” corresponding to the “My Account” section. The following sections will then appear:

• “1 – Balance”,
• “2 – Remaining minutes/SMS/MB”,
• «3 – ,
• “5 – Numbers.”

Click on the word “Answer” and enter the number “1” corresponding to the “Balance” section. The screen will display the account balance available at the time of verification.

Call the service center

Dial 0500 on your mobile phone. A virtual assistant will answer the call. Following his prompts, select the appropriate numbers and check your balance using the auto-informer or switch to a specialist who will announce your balance.

In order not to waste time on the virtual assistant’s prompts and immediately switch to a specialist, dial the number 8 800 550 05 00. The call is free for Megafon subscribers. For calls from numbers of other mobile operators and from landline phones, payment is made in accordance with the established tariff plan.

Contacting the Megafon company store

If none of the above verification options suits you, then contact your nearest Megafon mobile phone store. Employees will not only tell you your balance, but will also help you resolve any issue related to service in the company. Here you can request details, connect a service or, conversely, disable it, and much more. Employees will also show you how you can independently check the funds in your account.

How to type a command to check balance

Let's consider entering a command using the example of an Android smartphone. On an iPhone, checking your balance is similar to the steps described below for Android.

To enter the command, you will need to open the “Phone” application (Fig. 1).

Rice. 1. “Phone” application on an Android smartphone.

In the “Phone” application you will need to enter a command, so open the “Keyboard” tab (Fig. 2). Otherwise, how can you enter a command without a keyboard?

Rice. 2. Keyboard tab in the Phone application.

There is a keyboard for entering a command (Fig. 2), then enter the command.

The commands may differ for different mobile operators. For Beeline and Rostelecom, the command to check the balance is “*102#” (without quotes). This is for prepaid tariffs of Rostelecom and Beeline, when you pay first and then use mobile communications.

Rice. 3. Enter a command to check the balance.

The input sequence consists of six button presses. For the *102# command, all button presses are numbered from 1 to 6 in Fig. 3.

After entering the command “*102#”, be sure to press the large green button with the handset, it is called “Call”. Then the command will be sent to the cellular operator’s server, processed and a response will be received almost immediately (Fig. 4).

Rice. 4. The result of the command is a balance.

If you click on the green inscription “Yes” (Fig. 4), then after that the inscription with the balance will disappear from the phone screen.

Check your roaming balance

If you are in another city or abroad, you can check your account as follows:

1. Enter code *100# or *105*1#. The request is not subject to tariffs anywhere in the world.
2. Log in to your personal account. When traveling around the country, traffic in the LC is not taken into account in the price (except for the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol). Abroad, the calculation is carried out depending on the tariff plan and international roaming.
