There are situations when you need to control the balance not only on your phone, but also on a loved one (family member, friend, etc.). If you use the communication services of the mobile operator MTS, then it will not be difficult for you to control the balance of another MTS subscriber, you just have to connect the additional service “Balance of another subscriber”.
First of all, it should be noted that the "Balance of another subscriber" service is absolutely free, and both its connection and its use are free of charge. You can connect it to almost any tariff plan, with the exception of corporate ones.
Balance of another subscriber: how to activate the service
There are several fairly simple ways to enable this option. The easiest way is to send a message to the short number 111, text of the message: 2137.
Another easy way is to call the toll-free number 111 and follow the prompts to activate the "Other subscriber's balance" service.
The third way is to send the following combination * 111 * 2337 # from your mobile phone, after a few minutes you will receive an SMS message confirming that this service has been successfully connected.
The owners of MTS "Klassny" and "Mayak" tariff plans do not need to connect to the service in order to find out the balance of another subscriber, since it is connected to these tariffs by default.
How to find out the balance from another MTS subscriber
After activating the “Balance of another subscriber” service, it will not be difficult to find out someone else's balance. You just need to dial the combination * 140 * XXX XXX XXXX # (where X are the digits of the phone number, the balance of which you want to know, the first digit of the number (+7 or 8) is not dialed). In the reply message you will receive information about the balance of the requested MTS subscriber.
If you have “favorite numbers” connected, then in your personal account on the official MTS website you can change the settings and open information about your balance to them. These subscribers, using the “Balance of another subscriber” service, will be able to check the status of your account at any time and, if required, replenish it.
