How can I check the balance of my phone? Megafon provides customers with different options

Having a mobile phone made life much easier. Now you do not need to sit by the phone and wait for the right call. You can just take it with you. But to always be in touch, you need to have at least a minimum amount on the account. So, you need to constantly monitor the balance. Megaphone took care of its customers and provided far more than one way to do it. The subscriber has only to choose the most suitable for himself.

USSD, sms and call

The simplest and most popular way to check your account is, of course, to send a USSD or SMS inquiry. Less often for this make calls to a special number. And even more rarely call the help desk to find out your balance. Megaphone, however, supports all the services, and they work equally well. But first things first.

Most often, before replenishing their account, subscribers dial a simple and easy to remember USSD-request "* 100 #". In response, the display will show information not only about the amount of money on the account, but also the bonus balance. Megaphone has long been using this team to advertise its services, so many do not like this overly intrusive service. Instead, they prefer to send an SMS-request to number 000100. In response to it, after one or two minutes, a message with information about the account status comes.

Those who can not type such requests usually use one more way. Namely make a call to the number 0501 (or +79271110501) and listen to the autoinformer Megaphone. You can find out the balance in this way both from your mobile phone and from a stationary one. All three options are absolutely free when used in the home region. But in roaming for SMS and call will have to pay.

"Live Balance"

But mobile technologies are developing, and for its subscribers Megafon offers a convenient service "Live Balance". With its help, you do not have to worry about unforeseen expenses. The current balance will be displayed continuously on the display screen. Megafon updates the data about it after each debit from the account within 10-15 seconds. In addition, the service will automatically work in roaming immediately after registration in the network.

But for the convenience of a little extra pay, a very small amount. The connection is very simple with the combination "* 134 * 1 #". But before that, it is advisable to check whether the phone model supports similar services. To do this, dial "* 134 #". Further everything is simple: if the information on the balance appears on the display, then the service is available, and if nothing has changed, then unfortunately not.

Balance of relatives

Of course, all these methods are good for checking your account. And what if you need to find out how much money is on the phone from another Megafon subscriber? Checking the balance in this case also does not take much time. It is enough to use the service "Balance of relatives". To do this, send a text message with the text "BAL " from your phone or call 0500755. The main thing is to send permission from the phone of a close person to check the account. He must pre-dial the command "* 755 * #". This service, like the others, is provided free of charge.
