You've run out of money on your phone balance, but you can't top up your account yourself? If you urgently need to contact someone with a negative balance, you can use it or send a request to call back. The advantage of the second option is that it is completely free and does not involve any commission.
MTS allows you to send up to 5 free SMS per day with a request to call your number back. It is possible to send the request to the numbers of any operators. The service is available to all MTS clients, and you do not need to connect it first, just use the appropriate command and your request to call back will be delivered completely free and instantly. The request can be sent to a subscriber number in any region of Russia.
To send a request to call back, you need to dial on your phone: *110*phone number#. For example, if you need an SMS with a request to call back to be sent to the number 89886633666, then the command will look like this: *110*9886633666#. An SMS with the text “Call me back, please” will be sent to the specified number.
Features of the service
Such an SMS message asking to call back is often used in emergency cases, when there are no options to top up the balance on your own smartphone, but you urgently need to communicate with a person.
You can ask any client to perform this action, regardless of which cellular operator he prefers. Each of them receives the possibility of sending such a notification up to 5 times a day and no fee is charged for this.
It does not need to be connected or activated in any way. It is automatic for everyone, regardless of their tariff plan. And as already mentioned, the command can be sent to numbers of other operators.
Under what conditions is the MTS Dialing service provided?
As mentioned above, sending “beggars” from MTS is available to any network subscriber. The service is included in all tariff plans, so it will work in any case. In addition, there are no restrictions on the period of customer service, so you can use the service from the very first day of service.
All mobile subscribers in the Russian Federation can receive notifications. At the same time, sending a message with a request to call back to the phones of foreign operators is not provided. It is worth noting that if the called subscriber is in roaming (international, national, intranet), then he will definitely receive a notification.
Let us now consider the financial conditions for the provision of this service. First of all, we note that the service is free, so MTS subscribers will like it. There are no rates for requests sent. There is also no subscription fee. In addition, there is no need to activate the service, since it is already connected to any MTS subscriber as one of the basic options.
The only drawback is the limited number of requests per day (no more than 5). However, this was done to protect subscribers from very annoying people who cannot top up their account and therefore constantly ask to call back. It is for this reason that the MTS network provides for such a restriction.
How is the sending process carried out?
To take advantage of this convenient option, the client must comply with certain conditions. To do this, follow the following algorithm:
- on the device you should enter a request consisting of numbers and symbols: *110*recipient’s phone number and make a call;
- after this, the sender will be notified that the service has been completed and will see the remainder of free messages of this type for the whole day;
- after a few minutes, the recipient’s device will receive an SMS on behalf of the sender, which will indicate that they need to call back;
- if the smartphone is out of the access zone, that is, turned off, then it will receive it immediately after turning it on. Plus, this letter will indicate the date and time.
Things didn't work like that before. Previously, the person who must respond was not sent an SMS message, but a call was made in which the answering machine asked to perform this action. And after that, the corresponding text was also sent. But recently it has been slightly transformed and now has the modern look presented above.
How to send a Dialer from MTS?
The most “talkative” subscribers often face such a problem as a lack of money in their mobile phone account.
Continuous conversations eat up funds, rapidly approaching them to zero. How to contact another subscriber when there is no money left on your balance? To do this, you need to send a Dialer from MTS with a request to the other subscriber to call back. The MTS operator has provided a special one for this. This service can be used by all MTS subscribers by sending requests to any mobile number in Russia. This is quite convenient, since it is not always possible to top up the balance. Consequently, sending a request for a call back will become almost the only opportunity to maintain contact with loved ones without accounting (the call is at the expense of the interlocutor).
Only a limited number of requests can be sent per day. But despite this, this service can help out many people. Let’s say it allows you to contact people close to you, whom you can ask to replenish your balance (although there is a separate service for this, included in the “Opportunities at Zero” package).
Let's look at how to send a call to MTS with a request for another subscriber to call back. To do this, you need to dial a simple USSD command *110*Subscriber number#, then press the call button. From the command syntax you can see that the number is entered in a format of 11 digits, the first of which is 8. The recipient's number can be any number of mobile networks in the Russian Federation. Regarding foreign subscribers, sending them messages is not provided.
After specifying the recipient's number in the callback request, you only need to wait until the recipient receives the corresponding message. If the recipient's phone is switched off, the notification will come in the form of an SMS. The sender's number will be indicated, which is quite convenient. In addition, the notice will include the time and date the request was submitted. If the recipient's phone is turned on, a missed call from the sender's phone will appear in his call list.
We would like to add that detailed information about missed calls when your number was unavailable to subscribers can be obtained thanks to.
Other methods to stay connected
An equally interesting and reliable way to always be in the access zone when there is a shortage of funds is a service called “Promised Payment”.
It is intended not just to call each other back, but also to deposit money. It works even when the account balance is negative.
Among its main nuances it is necessary to highlight:
- loan up to 1000 rubles for a personal communication device;
- You can “loan” for a period not exceeding 3 days;
- it can only be connected to those whose balance is at least -300 rubles;
- the client can independently choose the amount.
Unlike options for sending notifications with similar text, this function is initially activated. There are several ways to activate the “Promised payment” option. It is important to pay special attention to the following:
- entering the command *111*123# and the call key;
- connection in your personal account. To do this, go to the “Payment” section and find the “Promised payment” tab there;
- make a call to 111;
- find the “Zero Opportunities” tab in the MTS mobile application.
The price for this type of payment depends on the total amount that the user wants to have after the balance becomes negative. An important feature is that the more active the user is, the more amount can be credited to the account. It is not valid on all MTS tariffs, so you need to clarify this information on the company’s official website.
How to send a request to call back from MTS?
Surely, at least once a situation has happened to everyone when you need to make an urgent call, but there is not enough money on the phone even for a minute of conversation, and there is no way to top up your account right now. Is this familiar? But, as they say, “there are no hopeless situations,” and it is for such emergency cases that MTS provides the opportunity for its subscribers to send an SMS with a request to call back.
The procedure is very simple - you need to dial a special code on your phone and the number of the subscriber to whom you will be sent a free request to call back; by the way, the recipient of the request can be a subscriber of any telecom operator, not just MTS. After you send a request, the message “Your request has been accepted” will be displayed on your phone screen. You have N requests left today”, where N is the number of requests remaining. During the day, you can send an SMS with a request to call back no more than 5 times (however, the company’s official website says that the maximum number is 20 times). The subscriber to whom you sent a request for a call back will receive a text message “Call me back, please”, it will display your number, the date and time when you sent the request.
How to prevent other people from sending a request
If the user is already tired of receiving multiple letters asking to call back, then he has the opportunity to disable this function. A similar option was recently offered by MTS.
In order to prohibit sending such notifications to your phone number, press the following combination: *110*0# and press the call key.
After this, reception is turned off in a matter of seconds. The user will receive a notification that the reception has been terminated as soon as this happens.
If after a certain time you need to receive free emails again, then enter the same combination, only instead of 0 you need to insert 1.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated about sending them. The main thing is not to panic or worry that you will not be able to communicate with your interlocutors. Now you know how to dial the combination so that they can contact you if necessary.
MTS "beggar" - what to do if there is zero on your account
For many years, this function has been mandatory for all mobile operators, and among ordinary users such requests have come to be called “homeless”. Therefore, if you have a question about how to send a homeless person to MTS, use the USSD command in the format *110*addressee_number#. It is allowed to dial a subscriber's number according to international rules through +7, and starting from 8, or without entering the country code at all, but starting immediately with the operator code. After entering the desired code with the contact number, press the call key. After a couple of seconds, the server will process your request and display a message about the successful sending of a request to call back (unless, of course, you have not yet exhausted your daily package of such requests).
How to send a request to MTS to call back
Here is an example of a command: *111*89997776655#. After a successful application, the user to whom the request was sent will see an SMS on his device with a text informing him of the need to contact. The sender's phone number will be indicated as the outgoing number, so it will all look like a regular SMS.
In case the recipient is not online at the time of sending or receiving the “beggar,” the SMS also indicates the time at which the sender asked to call back.
If a mobile network user finds himself in a situation where his balance is zero and he urgently needs to make a call to another subscriber’s SIM card, there is a way out - this is to use the “Help Out” option. It is provided free of charge. The main essence of the service is sending SMS to another subscriber with a request to call back.
There are several ways to effectively connect the “Help Out” option. They are as follows:
- if you create an SMS message with the prefix 5880, then payment for the message will be made at the expense of another subscriber;
- make a call to number 0880 and after the voice of the autoinformer is heard, enter the subscriber’s number in ten-digit format;
- Another method is to dial the short command 0880 and then the subscriber number in ten digit format.
A call originating within the framework of this service can be received or rejected by the person whose number was indicated as the subscriber to be contacted via mobile communications.
Call at the expense of the interlocutor
The conversation option, which is paid for by the interlocutor, is provided free of charge. The person who is called in this way will receive an offer to pay for the call. If confirmed, the conversation will take place. You can make a call at someone else's expense as follows:
- When dialing a number, use the combination 0800+(10 digits of the number, starting with 7) ;
- Through the My MTS application, it enters the combination automatically; the user just needs to press the call button.
If the opponent rejects the request, the conversation will not take place.
Vodafone call me back – service description
Yes, in common parlance, this form of trying to contact the desired subscriber is called “dumping the homeless”. This is due to the lack of funds in the sender’s account. So he is “homeless”, sending such requests and petitions to anyone who is not too lazy.
What you need to know is that attempts to send free messages are limited to a strict number. Seven are provided for one day. We won’t judge whether this is a lot or a little, let’s just say that this is enough to get in touch, and more than once.
Indeed, the Vodafone call me back service sometimes helps a lot. Very often for those who usually do not use it. But it is precisely this category of people who asks the question of how to send a homeless person away, unlike those who do this regularly and know perfectly well the necessary combination.
By the way, such a request, if necessary, can be recorded in your phone contacts as a separate number. This will prevent you from entering a painfully long combination each time.
Another caveat is that free messages are valid only within the network. This, of course, is more of a minus than a plus, because representatives of other Ukrainian operators, for example Lifecell, have adapted a similar service to send such messages to all Ukrainian networks, and even while roaming. If interested, read the terms and conditions and how to submit a request request from Kyivstar.
Description of MTS
Such an SMS is popularly called a “beacon” and users of the MTS network are accustomed to using the service, since it is provided free of charge and can help out in a difficult situation when an urgent call is required.
The “Call me back” option from MTS allows you to request a call to another client. How to send a request from MTS? You can send relevant requests up to 5 times in one day. The service does not need to be activated in advance, since it is free and activated automatically. In this case, the request can be sent to various Russian SIM cards belonging to any operator.
Vodafone call me back service description
Everyone who often uses this option calls the procedure for sending a request - send a homeless person. This analogy arises due to the fact that in a situation where finances are at zero, you have to beg like a restless homeless person. Like, there are not enough funds to call, please call me back!
The functions are that an MTS or Vodafone subscriber can send anyone else a message containing a unified request to call him back. The person receiving the request decides independently how to respond:
- call back;
- leave the request unanswered.
It is important to note that:
- From MTS it is available to any Vodafone client while located in Ukraine.
- The balance of the MTS telephone account of the initiator of the procedure does not play a decisive role; it can be either significant or completely absent.
- MTS does not charge a fee for sent messages.
- The request can be sent to numbers belonging to both Vodafone subscribers and other mobile operators: national or foreign.
It is worth considering that within one day you can “throw a homeless person” no more than 7 times.
Who can use the option?
As mentioned above, any MTS clients can request a call back, regardless of their location and the tariff plan on the SIM card. Users will also be able to use the service for free in long-distance roaming.
There are rumors on the Internet that the option cannot be used by MTS subscribers with the first digits of the number (7978), that is, residents of the Crimean peninsula. This is wrong. Network clients living in this territory, like other users, can freely use this service.
New beacon capabilities from MTS
For a long time, Call Me Back was offered as a local service. In other words, MTS users could not send messages to other cities and countries. Today, the option is offered under the same conditions as for internal use. A notification about a request to call back is also sent to the subscriber’s number. The call is made at the expense of the subscriber who received the request notification. If the call is planned to a prepaid subscriber, then to contact him you need to dial a special code ahead of the digits of the subscriber number. The cost of a roaming call will be charged in accordance with the terms of the tariff plan.
This innovation has become very relevant, since replenishing an account abroad can become a real problem. Restoring the phone's financial balance may take a significant amount of time, and the call may be truly urgent (the flight time has changed, you need to urgently pick up your luggage, and so on).
Alternatives
If within 24 hours it was used 5 times, which corresponds to the daily limit, MTS offers alternative options for how to still stay in touch with a zero balance. The following methods exist:
The call is at the expense of the interlocutor. This free service makes it possible to send a request to the subscriber you need to reach with a request to carry out a conversation at his expense. In this case, a call will be displayed on the interlocutor’s mobile device, after answering which he will be asked to confirm payment for the call. The service can be used using the combination 0880+ (10-digit number of the called subscriber) or using the “Help” service of the MTS mobile application. This option involves automatic generation of the required combination. The user only has to press the call button.
If the funds in your mobile account have run out at the moment when you urgently need to make a call or there are no machines to top up your SIM card, there is a way out - this is an option with the understandable name “Top up my account”.
As part of the service provided, the client from whom the subscriber asks to deposit funds into a mobile account receives a request for an urgent replenishment of the account.
In order to use the request to top up your account, you must dial the command *116* then enter the full subscriber number # and enter the call key.
Another way to create a request to top up your account is to dial the command *111*7# and select the “Top up my account” option.
According to the terms of the option, it is free and can be implemented both within the home network and within roaming.
Receiving messages can also be carried out within the home network or roaming.
Other ways to call without money
How else can you ask to call MTS back if there is no money? There are several ways to stay connected:
"Promised payment"
Using this service, you can top up your mobile phone balance on credit and again be able to make calls, send SMS and even use the mobile Internet. The function works even with a negative balance.

Terms and conditions of provision:

How to send a request to MTS to call back
Quite often people find themselves in hopeless situations when there is a need to make a call, but they do not have the money and, accordingly, the opportunity to make a call. Especially for such cases, MTS developers created a team called “Call Me Back”. It helps you communicate with your interlocutor even in emergency situations.
How to prevent receiving a beacon
Some people overuse this service, or you simply don’t want to communicate with them often. Therefore, there is a need to completely eliminate the receipt of requests through this service so that such problems no longer arise.
You will need to enter the code *110*0#. After sending it, you will no longer receive such messages, and you can completely forget about possible inconveniences due to beacons.
In the future, you can re-enable the service if it is disabled. To do this, just dial the code *110*1#. You will now receive messages from the service again.
Very rarely, when sending a request, SMS messages with changed characters are received. In this case, the device does not support this language. The problem arises when using fairly old phones and non-Russian devices.
It is necessary to enable transliteration in these messages. Enter the combination *111*6*1# or *111*6*2#. Then ask someone to send you a freebie to check the success of this operation.
