To replenish the number linked to Mobile Bank, it is enough to send only the replenishment amount in the message. The money will be credited immediately after the SMS is processed by the system. Confirmation of payment, in this case, is not required.
If several cards are managed through Mobile Bank, then you will additionally need to indicate the last four digits of the card number.
To pay for a third-party number, the SMS will look like this:
ХХХХХХХХ 500, where ХХХХХХХ is the phone number, and 500 is the payment amount. After sending, you will receive an SMS with a code that you need to send to make the payment.
Via voice menu
Payment through the MTS Contact Center is made from anywhere; just dial 111749 or +74957660166 in roaming. The autoinformer will prompt you to enter a phone number - 10 characters minus 8 when paying for third-party numbers.

In the “My MTS” and “Easy Payment” application

How to top up an MTS account through a Sberbank bank card?
Sberbank offers several options for replenishing the balance of an MTS phone:
- through the Mobile Bank service;
- through your personal account “Sberbank Online”;
- through an ATM or Sberbank terminal;
- through the Mobile Bank application on your phone.
Replenishment from the “Mobile Bank” is made by sending an SMS with the payment amount to number 900. In the Sberbank Online account, you need to select the “Payments and Transfers” tab, then “Mobile Phone”, then select the MTS operator. In the window that opens, fill in the following fields:
- the card from which the payment will be made;
- replenishment amount;
- phone number.
If you constantly replenish the same number in your Personal Account, you need to create a template or activate “Autopayment” to periodically replenish the card.

When replenishing through the application, select the “Payments” tab, then “Mobile communications”. Select the bank card from which the payment will be made, enter the phone number and amount.
Possible problems
Due to heavy network congestion, the payment may not go through. Then you should use the services of third-party resources, but their commission can reach 40%.
If you enter the details incorrectly, the funds will go to an unauthorized person. You can contact the support service, but as practice shows, if a person does not voluntarily return the money, then nothing can be done. The last resort will be to contact law enforcement agencies.
If you send finances to a non-existent account number, they will return back on their own after some time. If money was withdrawn from the account, but did not reach the address, you should puzzle the technical support staff and find out where the funds were delayed.
