The main part of tariffs works on the principle of prepayment for the allocated volume of Internet traffic, call minutes and SMS messages. That is why you should always control the consumption of packages. This applies to the Internet to a greater extent. He constantly disappears somewhere and access is limited at the most inconvenient moment. Sometimes they can also impose automatic renewal of traffic and debit money from the subscriber. In this regard, it is necessary to figure out how to check the remaining MTS traffic, and in what ways this can be done.
Traffic accounting system for mobile devices
Any modern phone or tablet has a built-in module that receives and sends network signals. Traffic is a data flow taken into account by the operator’s receiving and sending servers. It is taken into account in the usual units of information: kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes.
Tariffing for access to the global network is typical for almost all plans of any operator, but there are also unlimited tariffs where there is no such accounting. Recently, many companies have abandoned them due to the increased load on networks and low income. Today, for phones and tablets, for the most part, only offers are available based on tariffing, that is, the purchase of a certain amount of traffic for an accounting period (day or month).
Important! Most tariff plans from MTS provide an increase in speed or traffic if the main package ends before payment time comes. Additional options can increase Internet traffic by 100 or 500 megabytes, as well as by 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 gigabytes.
What happens if you run out of traffic?
More often than not, your traffic depletion problem will be resolved before you even know about it. The fact is that on most tariffs, auto-renewal of speed is activated by default.
For a fixed amount, you get an additional amount of traffic - most often 1 GB or less. When it runs out, the system automatically adds a new package.
Of course, with such a service you spend much more on communication services than with a competent selection of tariffs. And if you have auto-replenishment enabled, until a certain point you may not even realize how much money is spent on the Internet.
If auto-renewal of speed is not activated or there is not enough money to activate it, you will still have the opportunity to use the Internet. The connection speed will simply be reduced to 64 Kbps.
This speed may only be enough to check mail or instant messengers, and then with freezes. Any site you try to access will take a very long time to load and freeze.
Therefore, if you notice that when you try to access the Internet, the browser begins to freeze, this may be a sign that Internet traffic has come to an end.
How to find out the remaining traffic on MTS
Each MTS tariff plan has a built-in ability to find out not only the balance of funds or minutes available for the main package, but also Internet traffic. This does not depend on whether it is necessary to pay an ongoing subscription fee for services or not. This works not only for mobile SIM cards. You can also check the balance on your tablet or modem (router).
Connecting to the Super MTS tariff: amount of Internet traffic
The verification methods below work perfectly on the following tariff plans: the entire line of MTS Smart tariff plans (including Smart Mini, Our and TOP), MTS Super, For tablet and laptop, Your country ", "Hype", Tariff", "X". Next, we will show the main methods for checking balances on all these tariffs.
Mobile assistant
The service does not require a network connection and is suitable for absolutely everyone. Moreover, you can even use it while roaming. The method is applicable not only on a smartphone, but also on a tablet PC or modem device.
To activate the assistant you need:
- Go to the Dialer application.
- Enter the combination *107# and press the green button.
- Wait for the request to be sent and the assistant to launch.
- Select the button next to which “Internet” will be written and press it.
- View the amount of available Internet traffic and exit the assistant.
Important! This option is standard for all tariffs and is provided to absolutely every subscriber free of charge.
USSD command
A similar action can be performed using a USSD request. To do this, call the “Phone” application (“Dial”) and dial the command *217#. If it doesn’t work, you can always use the analogue: *111*217#. A PUSH window will open on the screen with data about the remaining Internet traffic. Like the first command, it can be safely used in the absence of the Internet and in international roaming.
Via sending SMS
This opportunity is completely free on the “MTS Smart”, “Hype”, “MTS Super” and some other packages. To check the balances in this way:
- Go to the Messages app.
- Create a new SMS message.
- Indicate in its text a question mark (?) without spaces.
- Enter number 5340. The delivery will be made to it.
- Send by clicking on the “Submit” button.
After a couple of seconds, if the subscriber is in the access zone, a response SMS message will be sent with information about the balances.
Subscriber's personal account
Any modern mobile data operator has a special online service through which any subscriber with access to the global network will be able to manage their tariff plan, change it, connect and disconnect additional services, as well as view their remaining minutes, SMS and Internet traffic. In addition, the personal account often has a statistics tab, which indicates when and how much traffic a person used.
To authorize in the “personal account” service, you must specify a login, which is a phone number, and a password in the appropriate fields on the main page of the official website. If a person is not registered in the self-service service, then this can be done in a couple of minutes.
The general instructions are:
- Go to the website lk.mts.ru.
- Provide login information or complete quick registration.
- Login to the service.
- Click on the “Service Packages” block.
- View information about the amount of remaining and consumed traffic for a given accounting period.
Important! In the “My expenses” item you can find out how much money was spent on certain services by indicating the period for analysis. Each TP has its own options for saving costs and connecting additional data packages.
Mobile app
For those who do not like to use a computer, there is a special and convenient application “My MTS”, which is available for download in official stores and is supported on Android and iOS. It has exactly the same functionality as the computer version of your personal account. It is enough to download and install it, and then go through authorization or registration, and on the main page view information about your balances.
USSD commands for monitoring Internet and voice communication consumption
The convenience of using command requests is a privilege for all operator subscribers. When the SIM card is activated, a list of short service numbers immediately appears in the address book, by which you can quickly obtain the necessary information:
- *100#call – this command allows you to find out your balance at the time of the request.
- For extended information, use another request - *100*1#call. In the pop-up window you will see how many minutes are left in the package and how many messages there are.
- *100*2#call – using this command you will learn about additional packages connected to the basic tariff.
- *107#call. Exchange of short messages will allow you to receive information about the traffic package. After sending the request, a window will appear to select further actions. Press “1” and confirm “Send”, the response should come with information about the remaining MB from the package.
- The command that will help you find out Internet traffic is *111*217#call. But with its help, you can clarify the MB balance only for the “Smart” and “MTS-Connect” line tariffs.
How to find out the remaining traffic on MTS tariffs
If a person uses one or another offer from the current line of tariff plans, the terms of which provide access to the Internet, then he can always find out not only the amount of available and consumed Internet traffic, but also analyze its consumption by certain resources and applications. The latter, however, is done using the phone’s built-in configurations or using special programs.

Checking the balances can also be done using operator options. To do this, just go to dial the number and enter the USSD combination *100*1#.
Important! It is suitable for all modern plans from the MTS Smart, Super MTS, Hype, Tariffishche and so on lines.
Alternative methods
In addition to the above options, unused traffic limits can always be found out in standard ways:
- Call the operator at 0890. Not so long ago, many people used this method, but due to the introduction of an automated help system, getting through to the operator has become very problematic. Although this system is designed to provide additional convenience to users. But in reality, not everyone likes to move from one menu branch to another to get the necessary information. This is a rather tedious and lengthy procedure.
- Contact the MTS branch. Any question you may have can be clarified at the nearest office of the company, where consultants will help solve any problem and tell you about a particular tariff plan.
How to check the remaining traffic on additional MTS services
MTS provides a number of additional services, which may differ from tariff to tariff. They involve adding megabytes or gigabytes of Internet, minutes for calls and SMS messages. If the data package from the main tariff has run out, you can always order additional ones on favorable terms. The company also has a function for auto-renewing traffic without the user’s knowledge. This is not always welcomed by subscribers, but it can be disabled in your personal account, mobile application, USSD request, or by calling a consultant.

Despite the benefits, it is necessary in any case to regularly inquire about the remaining data so as not to run into automatic renewal. If this has already happened, and it does not matter whether of his own free will or not, the person must monitor these services, since if they end, he will again have to pay for renewal.
The usual command for checking balances *100*1# in this case will not give the necessary information, and all because each individual additional option has its own unique combination for checking, disabling and connecting it.
Important! You can find it out on the operator’s official website, in your personal account when connecting to the service, or by calling the operator-consultant at the hotline number.
Checking balances via USSD
Throw out of your head all the commands you knew. Therefore, today MTS has a new USSD command that allows you to check traffic through the USSD menu. Dial *107# on your phone, then send number 1 in the reply message. If you need remaining minutes and SMS, send number 2. After a while, a message with the results will be sent to your phone.
Some time ago, MTS already had a similar USSD command. But subsequently the operator decided to switch everyone to more modern verification methods. Immediately there were dissatisfied exclamations from those who were used to using USSD. After some time, the operator returned the command, but changed the syntax. Write the *107# command into your phone book and delete other test combinations - they don’t work today.
How to check the remaining traffic on MTS from a tablet and modem
Routers, modems and tablet PCs must have their own instructions, and they are presented below. This is due to the fact that a large number of people purchase tariff plans specifically aimed at these devices, since they have more gigabytes. For example, unlimited Internet on the “For modem” tariff, although it has a low speed of 4 Mbit/s, allows you to listen to music and watch videos in low quality without any restrictions.
Checking from a modem
As you know, modems and routers often provide higher connection speeds to the global network and are used mainly for laptops or personal computers. They often use tariffs without traffic restrictions or provide an impressive amount of gigabytes. Despite this, learning how to check the balances on these devices will be extremely useful. For this:
- Carefully remove the device from the laptop and remove the SIM card from it.
- Insert it into your phone or tablet.
- Go to the Phone application.
- Execute the USSD command *100*1# or *217#.
- Check the rest of the packets.
Modems are controlled by special software that comes with them. It's called "MTS Connect". The tool also makes it possible to get acquainted with the necessary information. To do this, simply launch the program from the PC desktop and go to the “Traffic Remaining” tab, where all the information is located.
Checking from a tablet
Most modern tablets have access to the network not only via a wireless Wi-Fi module, but also via a SIM card, which means you can also view all the balances on them without any problems. For this:
- Open the “My MTS” application and log in if you have not already logged in. Registration in the service takes literally a couple of minutes, as does downloading and installation. You can view the data by analogy with a telephone.
- Go to your personal account on the official website using the link lk.mts.ru. Authorization is performed in the same way and data is viewed.
- Execute the USSD command *100*1#, which is universal for many tariffs. This is convenient if there is no Internet access.
Important! In this case, you can always contact the company’s customer support service at the hotline number (0890) and ask any question you have, including the remaining traffic there. This is not always convenient, since due to workloads you need to wait in line.
Thus, here we told you how to find out how much Internet is left on MTS. This can be done in several ways: via USSD command and SMS message, using your personal account and the “My MTS” mobile application.

Call the contact center
To obtain information, you can call the contact center. Need to:
- Enter the number 0890 and make a call.
- In the voice menu, select the option to transfer the call to a specialist.
- Wait for a response from the employee.
- After connecting, inform him about the reason for the call.
- The specialist will check the information and name the balance.
To contact the operator, you will need to remove the SIM card from the module and put it in the phone. Another way is to call from another number. But a specialist may request data to identify an individual.
The disadvantage of this method is that you often have to wait a long time for an answer.
During peak hours, the call processing period reaches 10-20 minutes. Therefore, it is easier to check the balance yourself.
