Refill

The classic method of replenishment - purchasing a card and entering a code - is also the most unpopular.

Modern technologies allow you to make payments without leaving your home and without purchasing paper media.

There are several methods that allow you to top up your mobile phone.

Bank card

The payment is made on the website in the “Easy payment” section.

To top up, you must provide a phone number, email address, card number, including a secret code. To confirm the operation, the operator sends a unique combination of numbers to the phone, which must be entered into the window.

The maximum possible amount is 15,000 rubles. minimum – 100 rub. Payment is made from any bank card of the VISA, MasreCard, MIR, Maestro systems. There is no commission charged here.

Important! The password and verification codes must not be shared with anyone under any circumstances. If during the money transfer procedure an “operator” calls your phone to clarify the code under any pretext, they are trying to deceive you.

Bonuses "Thank you"

This is a special program of Sberbank that allows users of the organization’s card to top up their account taking into account the discount. If the subscriber is a client of Sberbank, he can take advantage of the bonus program.

On the website, in the “Easy payment” sector, go to “Mobile phone”, indicate “MTS” and then “Payment with Sberbank bonuses”.

Replenishment from Sberbank

Then enter the required information in the windows: phone number, card code, etc. The maximum transfer amount is 500 rubles.

This limitation is due to the terms of the promotion - payment with a 99% discount. To use the service you need to accumulate 495 bonuses.

When you access the bonus program, the points are debited, and only 5 rubles are deducted from the card. A substantial amount of 500 rubles appears on the account.

Promised payment

The promised payment is available to loyal customers: those who have been using MTS communications for more than 3 months, have no debts and have a current balance of at least 30 rubles.

This is in the “Payments” section or by dialing the combination *111*123#.

In this case, the amount “borrowed from the operator” is indicated. The next time you make a payment, you will be charged the debt and the fee for the service provided.

For example, a loan of up to 30 rubles. free, and debt from 100 to 199 rubles. accompanied by a commission of 10 rubles.

Payment of the promised payment

Top up a second phone

Money may be urgently needed not by the subscriber himself, but by his good friend or family member. In this case, MTS offers to make a transfer within the operator.

In the “MTS Personal Account” select “MTS Payment” and provide the required information.

In the form, place a check mark next to the item “From mobile account”. The transfer is confirmed by a notification sent to both phones. The maximum amount that can be transferred in this way is 10,000 rubles, the minimum is 10 rubles. No more than 5 operations per 24 hours are allowed.
