Verification methods
There are nine alternative ways to find out the balance from the MTS operator. They are all good, but sometimes it happens that a certain method is best suited to the situation. For example, you don’t have your phone at hand, but you need to find out your balance. It is for such cases that there are a variety of verification methods. You can find out your balance in the following ways:
- USSD command
- SMS message
- via Service number
- verification by phone number
- call to operator
- through your personal account
- application "My MTS"
- office visit
All these methods are supported by the operator and each of them is able to provide the subscriber with comprehensive information about the status of his personal account. However, not every one of them is suitable for the subscriber in a given situation. If there is no connection, then options with USSD, SMS and calls will not help at all. That's why there are alternative ways. Now about each of these options in more detail.
USSD request
The easiest way to find out your MTS balance is to send a USSD request of the form *100#. Don't forget to press the call button.

Universal command - *100*1# plus “Call”.
This method is suitable if you have a smartphone or telephone at hand. Another condition is the presence of a stable connection to the network.

If the availability of funds on your phone account is surprising, you can use the call detailing service.
SMS message
For some, this method looks more attractive than others. Its essence is that the subscriber sends a message to the company at number 111. The USSD command *100# is written in the message. In response, a message comes with information about the current balance status. Owners of regular smartphones do not need to reinvent the wheel. This method is implemented specifically for those whose devices only support SMS messages. You can also ask a friend to top up your account using the Share Balance option.

How to find out your MTS account
How can I find out how much money is in my MTS account when roaming? You can use all the above mentioned USSD commands for this. Checking your balance in roaming is absolutely free, just like in your home zone. Owners of tablet PCs are less fortunate - not all tablets support sending USSD commands.

I don't really need her. I haven’t used MTS for many years and didn’t know about such tricks.
I decided to buy an MTS, and in a couple of weeks there was a surprise! Hello! Why is there no section
After all, we use and pay for more than just phones and tablets. Hello, I have a question, I’m not an MTS user at all, but I received a letter in the mail about arrears, what should I do?
I do not hide my information: Polyakova Neonila Vladimirovna, Rostov region, copywriter, freelancer, journalist.
She has repeatedly published materials on resources with demands to protect consumer rights. Today, December 17, 2015, I am receiving calls and messages demanding that I pay off the debt. I have several work phones that have a positive balance.
All phones are registered with law enforcement agencies. If they decided that they could leave me without contact, it wouldn’t work.
I will not allow someone else’s debts and sins to be pinned on me. If my passport data is used to illegally register a telephone number for dummies, I will not remain silent.
There are authorities, let them figure out what’s going on. Today in the Southern Federal District there are massive checks for involvement in terrorists. All my means of communication are registered with the FSB.
As for the personal account and the movement of funds on it, I will be glad if FSB officers check all the data.
I have a good name and a moderately scandalous reputation. I have been a client of MTS for a long time and there were no problems. But, probably, I still chose the wrong company.

You can find out this information using different ways. But to pay the current debt on mobile communications, your own number is enough. The easiest way to top up your balance is through the operator’s website or the “My MTS” application. This can be done in different ways, which may be convenient in certain cases.

- if it becomes necessary to hand over the equipment for repairs or diagnostics;
- in order to renew the contract for another subscriber.
How to find out the balance of home Internet and TV on MTS using your personal account
Internet users need to know the balance status for the following reasons:
- find out the amount of expenses;
- pay on time for the services provided;
- determine exactly the funds that need to be deposited;
- plan your own budget correctly, controlling the amount of finances;
- know about the deadlines for replenishing your balance so as not to find yourself without Internet access.
There are other reasons to take care of purchasing data and learn about options for checking your home Internet balance. But, one way or another, they come down to maintaining traffic in working condition.
To obtain information about the situation of the home Internet, an MTS client will need:
- number of the contract that was concluded when receiving the service;
- passport details.
If for some reason the document is not available, you need to contact the center where the contract was drawn up. It is in this office that the second sample will be stored, which can be viewed if necessary.
Through your personal account
The most optimal solution for an Internet user is to find out the amount of funds in your personal account. This is the method most people use because it takes less time. There are quite a lot of advantages to your personal account.

To find out how much money is on your balance, you need to do the following:
As you can see, this option will not only provide balance data, but will also provide accurate information about all transactions related to it.
By phone number
This is the simplest of the proposed methods. To implement it, you only need a phone and time. So, you need to follow the points of the plan:
- enter the combination *100# in your phone;
- press the “call” button and wait;
- After some time, a message will be sent with exact information about the status of the amount on the phone balance.
This is a simple, but not the only way to find out about the amount of finance in your account via phone. You can also use the voice menu. To do this, you need to know the contract number, after which you can use the following instructions.
- Call your cell phone company support.
- Listen to all the items on the proposed menu and select the section on receiving account data.
- Enter the information that the specialist asks for.
- After this, the system will provide the user with information about the balance status.
Visit to the MTS center
This is one of the difficult options, since you will have to spend some time to get the necessary data. To obtain information directly from the operator, you need to do the following:
- find an office nearby;
- personally come to the center to see an MTS employee;
- the specialist will request data to identify the subscriber;
- after that he will provide information about the amount of funds in the account;
- the information will also be sent to the user’s personal account.
Of course, this option is not popular, since most people do not have the opportunity to come to the center. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a more suitable method, for example, to find out data through the phone.
Possible consequences of debt
If you have a negative amount in your account, you should not ignore this fact. You should find out how much you need to repay and how this can be done. For late payment of funds, the company has the right to sell your debt to collectors or go to court.
Moreover, it does not matter what exactly you did not pay for: television system, mobile communications, cable television or other services. You will have to deposit money if the provider requires it. In case of controversial situations, the court does not always take the client’s side unless it has strong evidence that the debts attributed to him are non-existent.
Of course, often mobile operators do not resort to such radical measures, simply writing off non-payments. But if the amount is quite large, then more serious measures are likely. First of all, you will be sent a warning letter. It can be sent by mail, SMS or e-mail.
How to find out the loan balance at MTS Bank by phone?

To do this, you will have to prepare your passport and loan agreement number. Having heard the correct answers, operators will provide all the required data.

If you decide to change your phone number or operator, then check whether there are any outstanding debts on your old SIM card. Although most people in our country are accustomed to not attaching importance to this, you need to be careful not to become a debtor to the company.
Where might the money go?
In fact, there are many options, let's look at the main ones.
- Paid subscriptions. Whether we like it or not, MTS, like all other operators, cooperates with organizations that provide assistance in connecting subscribers to paid subscriptions. The tasks of such organizations include informing anonymous MTS subscribers about the benefits of a specific subscription, and subsequent activation of the service. Unfortunately, since such services work with anonymous contractors, such operations are often carried out on resources with dubious content. For example, you access the site from your phone, you are asked to confirm that you are 18 years old - for this, it would seem, you just need to press a button. It is at the moment of pressing that the connection can occur. Or another example: you access the resource from your phone, you are asked to select two mammals from 8 pictures - by clicking on the image, you can activate paid subscriptions. Information that you activate services by clicking on buttons/images/other function keys is written at the bottom of the page in very small print.
Services not disabled. When you return from a trip, you may forget, for example, to turn it off - in this case, daily charges will continue. Transfer of personal funds. This is a rare option, but still possible: one of your cunning colleagues can take possession of your smartphone for a couple of minutes and transfer money to your account. In fact, it only takes a couple of minutes.
To find out about the reason for the “gap” in finances, you can request call details - the service is free and very useful. In general, there are several tips: regularly monitor the status of subscriptions in your personal account, put a PIN code or pattern on your smartphone, limit visiting dubious resources.
Use MTS services with pleasure; if any difficulties arise, immediately contact online consultants, “live” operators or salon employees for help.
