Transfer money to MTS
MTS provides its customers with various methods for transferring money from their personal balance to the balance of another subscriber.
Transfer of funds is possible in the following ways:
- Via SMS messages;
- Using the Mobile portal;
- Using, which is available on the official MTS resource.
By SMS
In order to transfer funds from a personal mobile account to the balance of another subscriber, you should create a message with the following content (the number 200 is indicated as an example):
#Translation 200
Next, it needs to be sent to the phone number that needs to be topped up. The subscriber himself will not receive this SMS, but the system will register a request and send further instructions for the transfer to the sender’s number, after completing which the money will be transferred, and the sender will receive a message with a transaction report.
Via mobile portal
In order to use this method, you must log into the mobile portal using the USSD command *115#, which should be dialed in dialing mode, after which you should press the call button. After sending the command, a list of possible operations under the corresponding numbers will appear on the screen. You should click Reply and enter the serial number of the transaction that corresponded to the Mobile phone category. After these actions, a notification about the start of the operation will be received on the phone from number 6996 and in order to confirm it, you should send a message in response with any content (including empty), except 0, because this command cancels the operation. Waiting for a response from the subscriber is no more than 15 minutes from the moment the notification is received.
Using the "Easy Payment" service
In order to use this method, you must first download a free application from Play.Google or Appstore (for devices based on Android and iOS, respectively). You can transfer money by selecting the Payment section in the program menu and then Mobile phone. After this, you need to select the operator of the recipient of the funds, then his phone number and the transfer amount, then click on the Pay button. The transaction will be carried out only if the phone is connected to the Internet.
other methods
You can also transfer money through your personal account on the official MTS resource on the Internet or simply by going to the resource. To do this, you cannot go to the Financial Services section.
After selecting Money transfers, click on the To mobile phone section. Select the required operator used by the recipient from the proposed options and enter the phone number, as well as the replenishment amount.
The transfer can be made both from the phone balance and from a Visa or MasterCard bank payment card.
If you sent money to the wrong number
If a person made a mistake when writing the number and the money went to the wrong account, the first thing you need to do is check whether the money was debited from the account. If this is the case, then you can contact the recipient with a request to return the money, perhaps he will cooperate. You can obtain a copy of the payment transfer by contacting a bank branch and provide it to the person as evidence.
Once the transfer has already been made, it will not be possible to cancel it - the bank is prohibited from withdrawing money from the client’s account without his consent.

Motive
A mobile operator from the Urals offers its subscribers to use the service of transferring money from a personal balance to another mobile number in two simple and convenient ways:
- Using USSD command;
- Using SMS message.
Balance transfer is possible only within the Motive network.
USSD commands
The transfer is sent like this:
First, enter the command *104*108*9002223334*350# (instead of 9002223334 the recipient’s number is indicated, and instead of 350 you can enter another desired amount).

By SMS

In response to the request, the operator will send an SMS with a confirmation code, which must be indicated in the response message.
conclusions
Large mobile operators do not limit their users' ability to send money from their balance to other subscribers. The service is convenient and can come to the rescue when there are no other replenishment options. Depending on the operator, you can even use free transfers. An interesting approach is offered by MTS with its electronic wallet, which allows you to top up the numbers of any operator with a minimum commission, but this will require the Internet and an application for the sender and recipient of the money. This option is convenient if you need to send money when you don’t want to show off your bank card. Separately, it is worth noting the possibility of free transfers between numbers within the operator’s network - available on MTS and Yota.
Safety rules for transfers
Mobile companies reliably protect the balance of their users from unauthorized entry and balance transfer. In all methods, the subscriber must confirm the operation using a one-time secret code sent by the operator. This action makes it much more difficult for scammers to withdraw money from someone else’s balance, but they often resort to tricks, therefore, in order to avoid becoming a victim of criminals, you should not tell anyone the secret code that the operator sends, even if they call and introduce themselves as employees of a mobile company or bank (this method is very often used by attackers. It must be remembered that operator specialists do not need the code and they never ask for it). Also, you should not send confirmation of the transaction if you yourself did not order the funds transfer service.
What to do if there is an erroneous translation?
Sometimes situations arise when, having mixed up the number or accidentally clicked confirmation without checking the correctness of the payment, the subscriber sends money not to the desired number, but to a completely different number. In such cases, you need to contact the call center and find out about possible ways to get your money back. In order for the mobile operator to return the money, you should use the following methods:
- Call the call center of the company providing mobile communications and find out the fastest and easiest way;
- Write an email to the mobile operator describing the problem and attaching a screenshot or photo of the receipt to the letter;
- Visit the office of the mobile operator and contact a specialist.
It is worth remembering that not in all cases the operator can return money to the sender’s account and only in cases and will be able to write off the amount from the recipient’s phone only if it is on his balance. If a return is possible, then the receipt on the account should be expected within 14 days from the date of submission of the request.
