Yota payment without commission - by bank card, via personal account

Yota (Yota) is a large Russian telecommunications company, mobile operator and Internet access provider. The Yota brand also offers applications for Android, iOS and Windows Mobile, and produces smartphones. But here we will talk about Yota as a mobile operator and 4G Internet provider, or more precisely about ways to top up your Yota balance.

You can transfer funds to your Yota account in cash through payment acceptance points, electronic money (WebMoney, etc.), or also make a transfer from a card. Nowadays payment by bank card is especially popular among Yota users.

Pay without commission

You can pay for mobile communication services with a bank card without commission on the official Yota website. To do this, follow these steps:

Go to the official website of the company at the link: https://www.yota.ru/pay .
Select the device category that your account belongs to. This could be a smartphone/tablet or modem/router.
Depending on the option chosen, enter the SIM card number or YOTA personal account number. Then enter the top-up amount and email address. You will receive an electronic receipt indicating a successful transaction. Click on “Pay by card”.
Now you need to specify the details of the bank card from which the funds will be debited. This includes:
The month and year until which it will be valid;
Security code (3 digits on the back);
The owner's first and last name in Latin, as they are written on the carrier;
All that remains is to click on “Pay by card” and confirm the transfer using the code from SMS.

Electronic payments

If you use electronic wallets, then you have the opportunity to transfer money to the balance of your smartphone from them. Yota accepts payments from:

WebMoney;
Qiwi;
ru;
EuroPlat;
[email protected];
Yandex money;
Eleksnet.

You can deposit money through electronic payment systems using the same algorithm as through Sberbank Online. Please note that some wallets charge a transaction fee - up to 3% of the amount, which makes their use less convenient and economical.

Other payment methods Yota

First, let's look at the most popular methods used by millions of customers. We invite you to familiarize yourself with all the options and choose the most suitable one for yourself. If necessary, you can alternate them.

Via terminal

Let's start with a method that is already losing its relevance due to the high commission, but is still in good demand. We are talking about any terminals that are often installed in stores, shopping centers, pharmacies and just on the street. It is enough to find the YOTA operator system in the list of all services. Then enter your phone number and deposit the required number of bills into the terminal. On the screen you will see the amount credited, as well as the transaction fee.

The method is convenient if it is not possible to top up your balance online. But not preferable, since a rather impressive commission is charged for the payment. It can reach 10% (depending on the terminal).

From electronic wallets

Next up is a method that has been gaining more and more popularity lately. It is suitable for owners of any electronic wallets that provide the option to pay for mobile phones. In most cases there is no fee. The top-up procedure depends on the system you use. The list of the most popular ones is as follows:

PayPal;
QIWI;
Yandex money;
Webmoney;
Cryptocurrencies.

Via online banking

Most popular financial institutions have so-called online banking. It allows users to make any payments and transfers independently via the Internet. For this, both the bank’s official website and the mobile application can be used. Let's look at the YOTA replenishment procedure using the example of the most popular bank in Russia (Sberbank). It is recommended to adhere to the following algorithm:

Open the SberBank mobile application and enter your password to log in. If you are using it for the first time, then register using the phone number linked to the agreement with the organization.
Select the card with which you are going to make a payment.
Tap on the “Pay or transfer” menu.
In the next menu, scroll to the “Payments” section and select “Mobile Communications”.
Here you can select the Yota operator or click on “Mobile communications, payment for any phone number.”
Enter your phone number, top-up amount and select the card from which you want to withdraw funds. Click Continue.
Check all the details and click on “Pay”. Within a few minutes the money will be in your phone account.

This method does not charge any additional commission.

Via phone

Another interesting way that allows you to pay your YOTA bill from the balance of a SIM card from another operator. For this purpose, special services are used that charge an additional commission. You must send an SMS using the template from your phone, from whose account funds will be debited in favor of the Iota balance. The template looks like this:

SMS text: “YOTA recipient_number payment_type amount”, where payment_type: 1 - Internet;
2 - cellular communications;

For example, “YOTA 9998674134 2 100”;

It is worth noting that instead of the recipient’s phone number, you can use his personal YOTA account.

The short number to which you need to send this message is as follows: 3116. The cost of the message depends on your tariff plan. If you have activated the free SMS package, you will not be charged for the message. However, it is worth considering the commission for making a payment. It is 10%.

At service points

If you are close to an official YOTA (or any other operator) communication store, you can contact a consultant to top up your balance.

All you need to do is know the phone number and provide cash. The commission should be clarified directly in the office itself.

Translation

But what to do if you have no way to top up your account yourself? There is a way out of this situation. Your family and friends can come to your aid. After all, no one said that topping up your Yota balance is possible only through your operator.

For example, you can transfer money from MTS to your number. For this:

open the “MTS Money” application and click on the “Top up phone” icon.

Enter the desired phone number or select it from the phone book;

Enter the amount and click pay.

This is not the only way for translation. There are similar options for transferring money from Beeline to Yota, and from Megafon, etc. But we won’t go into detail here; you can always find instructions for them on our website.

Pay through the Yota mobile application

As you know, Yota manages its services in a special mobile application. It is built on the basis of a personal account, like other operators. However, you can only log in if the SIM card is inserted into the phone. However, the system is not available on the company’s website.

If you want to top up your balance through the program, it is recommended to follow the following procedure:

Open the mobile application and go to the home page.
Click on “Top up” under your balance.
After loading, a page with replenishment will appear. Payment by card is used as standard. However, you can change the method by clicking on "Other payment methods".
Enter the top-up amount, card number, expiration date and security code indicated on the back of the media. If necessary, you can enable automatic replenishment. The bank account will be linked to your SIM card.
Tap on “Pay by card” to complete the procedure.

We use SMS banking

The easiest way to top up a Yota account is for users of Sberbank cards with the Mobile Bank service connected. In this case, it is enough to send an SMS to number 900 of the form: Yota mobile number, space, amount.

There are ways to top up from a mobile phone account of other operators. To do this you need to use third-party services:

Ruru;
Mobi Money;
MTS;
Megaphone.
Beeline.

Each of them has its own short number for sending SMS messages. This payment option is the most expensive, since you will need to pay a commission of up to 10% for the transfer, while SMS banking with Sberbank will allow you to top up your balance without additional transfer fees.

Pay via USSD command

It is worth considering another option for replenishing your account, which is similar to other operators. The company is ready to provide access to mobile communications and the Internet even if the balance is zero or negative. The option is called “Pay later”. However, the following conditions must be met:

You have been using Iota’s services for 3 months;
Can be connected only if there are insufficient funds on the balance to pay for the tariff plan;
You must top up your account within 7 days after connecting. Otherwise, the balance will become negative and access to YOTA services will be suspended.

The option is paid. Its cost depends on how much money is missing before paying for the tariff plan. The current price is as follows:

Missing 0-100 rubles - 10 rubles;
101-200 rubles are missing - 20 rubles;
201-300 rubles are missing - 30 rubles.

To activate the service, you must send the USSD combination *906#. A notification about successful connection or failure will come as a response SMS within a few seconds.

Autopayment: benefits and setup

The tools of modern banks make it possible to transfer the payment transaction to automatic mode. This service allows you to achieve the following results:

Significant time savings. Logging into the site, filling out all the necessary details, receiving an SMS confirmation to deposit money on Yota - you can now forget about all this. The system will do everything itself;
No commissions or additional fees. This convenience is provided completely free of charge. An amazing act of kindness from banking organizations;
There is no need to monitor your card expenses for cellular communications. All necessary information will be sent in a message to the phone number associated with your account.

You can set up “Autopayment” in the “Sberbank.Online” service in the “Autopayments” section in the menu. Specify your operator, phone number and minimum balance.

In the same way, you can connect, configure or disable automatic payment in the operator’s application or in the electronic payment system.

As you can see, you shouldn’t have any problems depositing money and topping up your Yota account. There are many ways to stay in touch. Choose the one you like and go ahead!

How to get money back from your account

If you accidentally deposited more into your account than required, or simply decided to refuse the operator’s services, you can return the money from your balance. To do this, you must personally appear at any Iota sales point where applications are accepted. You can find a suitable office on the map on the official website by specifying the desired filter in the search.

A company employee will give you a form to fill out. By filling it out, you can receive money. They will be credited to your bank card (it is not possible to receive it in cash).

It is necessary to provide the employee with documents, without which it will not be possible to return the money. Their list is as follows:

Passport for which the contract for the provision of services was drawn up;
Notarized power of attorney if you are acting on behalf of the SIM card owner;
An electronic or paper receipt confirming that you topped up the account;
Bank card details to which the refund will be credited.

It is important to note that the application will be processed within 30 calendar days. The exact period depends on the availability of employees and other factors.

Third Party Payment Tools

On the above page “Payment” there is comprehensive information about all the possibilities of how to pay for Iota Internet on a modem. In particular, the company accepts electronic money from the following services:

WebMoney;
Yandex money;
Kiwi;
Mail.ru;
Elecsnet;
Europlat;
Plat.ru.

The size of the commission is determined by the policy of a particular payment service. In addition, there may be a payment limit (usually 15,000 rubles). The timing of the transaction is also highly individual. Despite all these restrictions, this method is ideal for freelancers who receive payment for their work exclusively in virtual currency.

How to find out your Yota account number

If you use the operator’s services through a router or modem, and not a smartphone or tablet, then the subscriber’s personal account is used for payment rather than the SIM card number. You can find out in the following ways:

In the official mobile application from YOTA;
Call support at: 8;
Write to support using online chat on the official website or mobile application;
Look in the service agreement;
Appear in person at the nearest communication store;
Send SMS “What is my personal account?” to a short number 0999.

In most cases, you will need to provide your company representative with the modem ID. Using it, he will be able to determine the personal account number. There are two ways to find out the desired combination:

Look on the box or the device itself. It is written on a special sticker;
Go through a browser to the modem or router interface at 10.0.0.1. The device ID will appear on the main page.

Replenishment restrictions

When paying for Yota services, the subscriber may encounter some restrictions. These include the amount of the transfer - it should be in the range from 1 ruble to 15 thousand. There is no fee for transfers through the operator’s website or online banking. Commission fees apply only when using terminals.

Paying by card is a simple operation that takes little time. The payment will be sent to the specified account within 5-15 minutes. Such operations are safe when using the operator’s services and through the official websites of banks. It is not recommended to transfer money through unknown organizations.
