Prices for sending SMS and MMS to regular numbers are indicated in the tariff plan, and you can always check them on the official website of your mobile operator. Short numbers are another matter. Of course, it is very convenient to pay for goods and services in this way, just be extremely careful - do not fall for the tricks of scammers and always check the cost of an SMS before sending it.
Necessary
- - computer or communicator;
- - internet connection.
Instructions
Step 1
Check the cost of sending messages, even if the price is indicated for them - scammers often misinform their potential victims. This happens especially often on dubious Internet resources (all kinds of online quizzes, the so-called "Databases", etc.). It happens that the real cost is tens, or even hundreds of times higher than it was written. And even if the numbers were indicated correctly, it turns out that in order to receive the service, you need to send not one, but several such SMS, so read the information indicated in small print very carefully.
Step 2
Check the cost of the message directly from your mobile. To do this, MTS and Beeline subscribers just need to send an SMS to the specified short number, in the text of which there should be a question mark. Megafon subscribers need to put a $ sign in the text of such an SMS or send a USSD command * 107 * short_number #. For Tele2 subscribers, the command should look like this: * 125 * short_number *. The real cost of the message and data about the provider will be indicated in the reply SMS. The service is free.
Step 3
Use any online help service. For example: - https://smscost.ru/- https://stoimost-sms.ru/- https://smsnumbers.ru/search/- https://smswm.ru/- https:// sms-price.ru / number /. For MTS subscribers: -
Step 4
Go to the page of any of the above services and enter the short number you are interested in in the field provided for this. Click on the appropriate button ("Find", "How much?", "Find out the cost", etc.) or simply press the Enter key - the message price and information about the provider will be displayed on your computer screen.
Step 5
Request information about the number you are interested in in any search engine. In the search bar, you can write like this: "SMS to number 1234" or "short number 1234". Or make a request for a specific service (product) or supplier (seller). New short numbers are registered constantly, and the necessary information in the above databases may simply not appear, but they may well be found on some forum or in someone's blog. It is useful to do this even if you have already received information by any of the above methods. Better to spend 5 minutes of time, once again read people's reviews and make sure everything is in order, than to waste your own money.
