Checking your balance in a timely manner is the most reliable way to avoid troubles and unexpected interruptions in conversations. To clarify your account status, you just need to spend a few moments and wait until you receive the necessary information. The only condition for familiarizing yourself with the necessary information is knowing how to check the balance on MTS from your phone (short number, special command and other options).
Options
There are many methods for checking your account status. To find out how much money is left, you can:
- send SMS;
- enter a short USSD request;
- call the operator;
- listen to the voice menu;
- check in your personal account;
- install a mobile application;
- order the balance to be shown on the phone display;
- connect the widget on the Internet;
- Address your question to the staff of the communication salon.
All of these options are united by the positive results that their use brings.
How to find out the MTS balance on your phone via SMS?
One of the simplest ways to obtain the required information is to send a special SMS message. Users just need to send an SMS with the number 11 to a special service number 111. The exact amount will be indicated in the response message that will arrive on the subscriber’s cell phone over the next few moments.
It is important to note that verification via SMS is free and does not lead to debiting of funds.
Checking balance on MTS using USSD command
The USSD command is even more convenient and familiar to most phone owners. To clarify your account status and determine whether it should be topped up, you will need to dial *100# on your mobile phone and press the call key.
The answer will appear on the device screen within a few seconds. Otherwise, if the information is not available, a message will be sent indicating the existing difficulties and asking you to repeat the command later.
How to view the balance on MTS via the Internet?
If you have access to the World Wide Web, you can check your account status in the subscriber’s personal account. To do this, you will need to go to the official website of the mobile company and log in. All important information will be located in the most convenient place so that every user can find it instantly.
The main advantage of checking via the Internet is the ability to perform a number of additional actions that help manage existing services and connected options.
Check your account status by phone
Those who have not decided how to view the balance on MTS on their phone and cannot use any of the methods described above should call the contact center of the cellular company. To do this, dial 88002500890 and wait for a specialist to answer. Sometimes support staff will respond instantly, but more often you will need to wait a few minutes. It is in waiting that the main disadvantage of this option lies.
Using a mobile application
An excellent method for checking your cash balance is the mobile application of your mobile operator. Being a kind of analogue of a personal account, the mobile application allows subscribers to perform a lot of different actions, and viewing the remaining money is just an additional item that improves the quality of customer service.
The only condition that must be met when using the application is the need to be connected to the Internet.
Remaining balance on mobile screen
Those who want to constantly stay up to date with financial affairs can connect to a special service that allows you to display information about the balance on your personal account on the phone display. To do this, you need to dial *152*3# and press call. As a result, while the option is active, the client’s cash balance will be indicated on the mobile monitor.
Those who choose this method to check their balance should remember that the service is paid and will require a daily debit of 10 kopecks. If necessary, you can connect it through your personal account. The shutdown is carried out immediately.
Voice menu
Those who do not want to spend even such a small amount can clarify the bill by calling the short number 0980. Having dialed the combination, the subscriber will only have to listen to the system prompts and follow the recommendations received. The result of the actions taken will be the receipt of the required information.
It is important to remember that by pressing 0, the client will be able to contact the operator by phone.
But even in this case, you will need to wait in line and for a specialist’s response.
Alternative verification via the Internet
Another interesting way to check your account, which people who are thinking about how to find out their balance can use, is to install a special widget from Yandex. To install and connect it, just go to the appropriate settings of the search engine start page and find what you need in the list of allowed add-ons. To simplify your search, you can type the name of the mobile company into the search bar. As a result, financial information will be displayed on the Yandex start page.
In this article, we invite you to familiarize yourself with various ways to check the balance on your phone - from traditional to innovative. The most popular way to check the balance of your number is a special code sent to a short number. But in this article we will also tell you how you can use new applications to find out the balance of not only your phone, but also the numbers of your relatives and colleagues, as well as how to manage your bank card accounts.

ADDITIONAL USEFUL SERVICES FOR SMARTPHONES
One of the most popular apps in the Google Play Store related to mobile plans is “Dr. Tariff". The widget allows you to check the balance on your account and this is one of the few applications that can check the balance of four operators at once (Beeline, Megafon, MTS, TELE2). The application controls the balance of money in the account by sending USSD requests to operators and reading responses that come via SMS or pop-up USSD windows. The widget will help you get communication usage statistics for any period, including:- view detailed analytics of calls, messages and Internet traffic;
- display the TOP list of people from your contact list and see with whom you communicate the most;
- obtain statistics on communication with subscribers of various operators and cities in Russia;
- see the distribution of conversations by time of day, days of the week and days of the month;
For users who are not yet users of unlimited communications, the application will be especially useful, as it will help them finally make sure that it’s time to buy unlimited tariff, allowing you not only to save on communications, but also to simply forget about the need to constantly monitor your expenses. Another application that we could not ignore is the Russian Operators widget, which is also available only to owners of smartphones on the Android platform. This application allows you to: - determine the operator and region by mobile phone number for Russia and Ukraine;
- determine cities and regions by landline phone number for Russia and Ukraine;
- select a number from SMS/MMS, contacts, recent calls to determine the operator (city) and region;
- determine the operator (city) and region for incoming and outgoing calls;
- enable the need to confirm outgoing calls (to other regions or all).
First of all, the widget will help you identify your telecom operator by number. Well, those who have already encountered unexpected charges for long-distance calls will be the first to note the usefulness of warning about such a call. 
For those who have already encountered errors in crediting funds to their SIM balance, in the next article we will tell you how to return an erroneous payment and in which cases this is possible and in which it is not. In the end, I would like to note a certain pattern - as you may have noticed, the Big Three operators develop their applications mainly for the Android platform, deliberately bypassing the AppStore and iOS from Apple. And all three operators have completed their cooperation with the iPhone manufacturer. We will see in the near future how this confrontation will end - the victory of the Russian bureaucracy or the innovations of the largest technology company in the world will still break our operators. And may your balance always remain positive!
One of the basic functions of any mobile operator is checking your balance. As long as there is money in the account, we can talk on the phone, send SMS and MMS, and use other communication services. No money in the account means no connection, this is quite logical. How to find out the balance on an MTS phone and what is needed for this? You may be surprised, but there are a lot of tools for this. Some of them are only accessible from your phone, while others can be used from your computer.
Find out the balance on MTS
Basic balance check
How to find out the balance on your phone on MTS? When we buy a connection kit, we receive a SIM card with a brochure containing all the necessary commands and useful numbers. Recently, operators have been saving their money, so subscribers receive nothing except a plastic card with the SIM card itself. But here, too, there is what we need - useful phone numbers and commands are printed on the cards.
In order to find out the balance on your MTS phone, you need to dial *100#. After a few seconds, your phone's screen will display your current balance. MTS billing works quickly, so the balance is always up to date - check it at least after every call and control your expenses. You should know that checking your balance on MTS is a basic function, so it is provided completely free of charge.
You decided to find out the balance on your MTS phone, dialed the USSD command and found some kind of “mess” of unreadable characters on the screen of your phone. There may be two reasons for this:
- There are some problems with the network - try typing the command again a little later;
- Your phone does not understand Russian - this happens with some older models.
In the first case, only waiting will save you, and in the second, the USSD command #100#. It allows you to display information about the status of your personal account in English. All phones understand this language, so you can see the data you need on the phone screen.
In order to get rid of the need to remember this command and constantly dial it, write it down in your phone book and set it to speed dial.
Now you know how to find out the MTS balance on your phone. But you will also need auxiliary commands:
- *100*1# - a universal command that allows you to find out the balance of included services (SMS, minutes, traffic);
- *100*2# - a similar command, but aimed at temporary special offers and promotions;
- *111*217# - a command for those who use options with Internet traffic, allows you to clarify the number of megabytes remaining;
- *100*3# - the command allows you to clarify the amount of debt when you have activated the “On Full Trust” or “Credit” services.
All these commands are absolutely free - write them down in your phone book.
If your phone does not want to display Russian letters correctly, enter the specified commands using the hash symbol - the information will be displayed in English.
“Balance under control” service
The easiest way to find out the balance by MTS phone number is using the device itself by dialing the basic command *100#. You can also make it appear on the screen after each call.
This functionality was once free, but today it is provided as part of a separate service “Balance under control”. Use it if you want to know exactly the balance in your account after the next call ends. The subscription fee for the service is 0.1 rub./day.
In order to activate a service that allows you to quickly obtain information about your balance on MTS, you need to dial the USSD command *152*3# or use the “Personal Account”. The service will allow you to evaluate the balance not only after making calls, but also after writing off money for any services. This functionality is supported even in international roaming.
If you want to activate this service, then you may be faced with the fact that it is simply not available on some tariff plans - check the information at the help desk or at the nearest MTS customer service office.
Checking your balance on MTS through the help desk
Each operator, including MTS, has its own help desk, which allows you to clarify some details or obtain background information. If for some reason you cannot use the USSD command, then you can find out your balance on MTS by calling the helpline 0890. Call this phone number, wait for the operator to respond and ask him a question about the balance on your number.
Who might benefit from this opportunity? For example, owners of old modems that do not allow sending USSD commands to obtain balance information. In this case, you need to take any other MTS phone, call the help desk and get the necessary information. You can also call from another operator’s number - in this case, call 8-800-250-0890.
Find out your balance through “Personal Account”
If you use the services of an MTS operator, not only the handset itself, but also the “Personal Account” will help you find out your balance on your phone - This is a self-service tool that allows you to get maximum information about your number. Here you can manage services, change tariff plans, get details and order reporting documents, connect any packages and perform other actions with your number and account. You can also check your balance here.
In order to gain access to your “Personal Account”, you need to go to the MTS website, click on the “My MTS” link and select “Receive password via SMS”. Enter your number in the form and wait for a message with your password. Enter the number and password in the appropriate form, after which you will be able to log into the control panel of your phone number. Right on the main page of your account you will see information with your balance.
Through the My MTS application
Modern smartphones just don’t know how to heat up lunch for their owners and fry pies. There is nothing difficult in getting your smart device to show your balance without commands, calls or other complications. To do this, you need to go to the application store for your mobile platform and download the “My MTS” program. Wait for it to install, log in - Now on the screen of your device there will be a mobile version of “Personal Account”, where you can check the balance on your phone and check the remaining balances of included services.
In order to always be in touch, you need to constantly monitor the balance of funds in your account. MTS subscribers can check their account balance using a mobile phone or via the Internet completely free of charge.

Is it possible to find out the balance from another phone?

New subscribers of the MTS operator are often puzzled by questions about how to check the status of their balance. Some people simply don’t know how to check their MTS account, puzzling search engines with queries. Therefore, we decided to tell you about all the ways to control the state of the balance, from the simplest to the most progressive - right up to the use of modern telecommunications.
Check your MTS account
Verification via USSD command
The mobile operator MTS has provided many tools to clarify its balance. The simplest method is described on all connection kits - it involves using a special USSD command. This technique has been working on the network since its inception and has not undergone any significant changes. In order to check your MTS account, just dial the USSD command *100#. After some time, a message with the remaining funds will appear on the screen.
If, instead of the balance, some kind of mess of a jumble of incomprehensible symbols is displayed on the screen of your mobile phone, use the alternative USSD command #100#. The result of its work will be a balance display in English. Even if your phone does not understand the Cyrillic alphabet, try using this command - it works even on the oldest phones (including non-Russian ones).
Next, we will tell you how to check an additional account on MTS - this command is aimed at subscribers of the Ukrainian operator MTS. To check the balance, use the command *100*10#. As for Russian subscribers, they have the opportunity to check the balances of included services - these are minutes, SMS and megabytes.
Here is a list of these commands:
- *100*1# — control of balances of services provided within the framework of current and archived tariffs and services;
- *100*2# - allows you to check the balance of services provided as part of temporary promotions (promotional periods for the provision of various services and options).
If the specified commands cause erroneous information display (messages cannot be read), try replacing the first asterisk character with a hash character– in this case, information messages with balances will be displayed in English. By the way, checking your MTS account is completely free.
Checking your bonus account
If you are a member of the MTS Bonus program and do not know how to check your bonus account on MTS, we will tell you how to cope with this task. The operator actively promotes its mobile application, and it actually displays the bonus balance. But owners of simple mobile phones cannot use this software. Therefore, alternative tools are provided for them. The easiest way to check your bonus balance is to dial the USSD command *111*455*0#. After some time, a message with the balance will be sent to the number.
Additional tools:
You can also visit the regular “Personal Account” on the operator’s website and find out your bonus account through it.
Alternative methods
You can check your account status on MTS (now we mean the regular balance) through the “Personal Account” - to do this you need to get a password from it by ordering it on the main page of the service. The requested password will be sent to your handset as an SMS. After this, you will be able to gain full control over your number - Here you can check your account, get details, connect/disconnect services, etc.. You can also check and change your tariff here.
The login and password obtained as a result of registration can be used in other MTS services, as well as for authorization in the operator’s mobile applications.
Now we will tell you how to check your MTS phone account through the popular Telegram messenger - naturally, this verification method is only available to those who are registered in this messenger. We go into the program (from the phone), enter “MyMTSbot” (without quotes) in the search bar and wait for the search results. Next, add the bot to your contact list, authorize and use the bot’s prompts.
Please note that the bot in the Telegram messenger works with subscribers of only some regions - clarify this point by adding the bot to your contact list and sending it your number.
There are two more ways to check your MTS account:
- Call the hotline 8-800-250-0890;
- Stop by the nearest MTS customer service office.
True, it is easier to use the methods described above than to call the operator or wait for your turn in the salon.
