My megaphone balance at the moment. Megafon balance: different ways to check

Subscriber tracking of account status is mandatory for regular access to communication opportunities. Users have several options available to check their balance on Megafon for timely replenishment. Although the provider's customers can get out of a situation of insufficient funds by sending a request requesting a top-up with another subscriber, a promised payment or a beg, it is better to stay in touch with its full functionality.

Note! A universal command that allows you to obtain current data about the user’s balance is *100#.

Regular balance control allows the subscriber to analyze the account for the presence of unnecessary subscriptions that write off funds, not to go into the red, and to know when to top up the phone account.

Examination

To check the balance on Megafon on the phone, subscribers who want to control the movement of funds on the device are offered in different ways - not everyone is convenient, but you should be aware of the available possibilities.

USSD request

A simple option for personal account control that does not require additional tools is the standard USSD command - *100#. Subscribers who choose this option are offered an unlimited number of sending requests, free verification that does not require an Internet connection:

  • Unlock your smartphone;
  • Open the phone calls menu;
  • Enter the combination *100# ;
  • Press the button to accept the call.

SMS requests

The provider's clients who prefer text messages have access to an SMS informer. The user needs to create a message that does not contain text, then send it to phone 000100. The provider will process the application and send a response via SMS with the requested information about the account status.

Important! There is a paid option - “SMS balance”, activation is available by entering the combination *105*600#.

Outgoing call

The provider's clients can use the voice informant - by phone number 0501 a call is made from the subscriber's Megafon gadget and an automatic voice informs the subscriber about the current subscriber account.

Personal Area

You can find out the amount of funds in your subscriber number using the Internet. Each Megafon client has a Personal Account - a service developed by the company for the convenience of subscribers, showing current data on the number’s funds, current tariff plans and subscriptions; settings are also open that allow you to activate and deactivate services.

Note! All the methods described above for checking your subscriber balance are free. Their use is unlimited in time and the number of requests sent.

"Living Balance" service

Connecting the option activates the display of the current account on the mobile device display. There is a fee for using Live Balance. Activation is available through your Personal Account or in the Megafon online store.

Checking tablet and modem balances

There is only one way to check your balance from your tablet – the operator suggests using the user’s Personal Account. For this operation, which requests information about the current personal account, a connection to the Network is required.

When installing a modem device on a personal computer, software is downloaded that allows you to see the amount available in the subscriber account of the client of the Megafon provider when you open the program.

A variety of verification options are offered to every cellular customer. You can choose the optimal method that suits the user yourself.

There are usually no problems checking your balance. For ordinary subscribers there is a simple and familiar command *100#. Most people only use it. But what about corporate clients? Usually, when concluding an agreement or adding a phone number to a company, they don’t even think about it. Questions arise later. Below we will talk about the features of checking the balance on a Megafon corporate number.

To begin with, let us highlight some features inherent in contracts concluded with a legal entity:

  1. Possibility of different forms of payment: advance or credit payment method. You can choose any one during the conclusion of the contract or switch later by writing an application at any communication salon, sending an application or sending by email. Most choose the credit payment method, since it allows you to talk within the provided credit limit, and communication services pay next month within 20 days from the date of invoice. In this regard, questions arise: how to find out the limit provided, how to find out current expenses, where you can see unpaid bills. We will answer each of them later.
  2. You can create one personal account for all company numbers. In this case, you save yourself from replenishing each number separately. If you pay in cash, then from a card, through an ATM or cash register, you can make a payment to any number, and the money will go to your general personal account. All users spend them together. There are also inconveniences - all it takes is one careless employee to connect an expensive service, call another country, access the Internet while roaming, and the entire company will be left without a connection with a minus balance. An application to merge a personal account is written both during the execution of the contract and at any time. The application is sent through your personal account, by email, or brought in person to any Megafon communication salon. This raises the question: how will employees check the balance and whether they will be able to check it at all.
  3. We already noted in the previous paragraph that a common personal account has a positive side - convenience in payment, but there is a danger that one subscriber will make a debt for the entire company. To avoid this, activate the “Personal Budget” service. Its essence is that one personal account is allocated for the entire contract of the company. The organization transfers all funds for communication fees to it. At the same time, a personal personal account is also assigned to each number. It is replenished from the total according to a given algorithm, that is you give each employee a different amount of funds. The user can replenish it himself in any usual way. This service gives the employee the opportunity to connect additional services to the number and use mobile commerce, while the company controls communication costs and does not go beyond the budget. In this regard, questions arise: how to check the “Personal Budget”, what information will be available upon request *100#.

These are the main differences in corporate communications that relate to the balance sheet. Now you can move on to the main topic of the article and answer the questions posed above.

Balance check

Let's start with the most common situation - separate personal accounts for all employees. In this case, employees will not notice the difference. You can find out the balance of funds in the usual ways. Let's remind them:

  • USSD command *100# call;
  • By number 0501;
  • SMS with any text to number 000100;
  • If you use a tablet, where it is impossible to send such requests, then go to your personal account through the application or browser. It is better to set a permanent login password first. If you access Megafon mobile Internet, your personal account will open without a password;
  • You can use the “Live Balance” service and then after each paid action a message about the account balance will pop up on the display.

These methods are suitable for both advance and credit payment methods. The only difference is the information displayed. On the prepayment you will simply see the amount that remains on your balance. On postpayment you will receive information about the limit provided and available funds.

The size of the credit limit can also be found out by calling *990*7#. If you are not satisfied with it, then you can write an application to change it.

On a postpaid payment system, the issue of expenses for the current month is also important. This information can be difficult to track on the balance, and given the size of the credit limit, you can spend more than you want and find out about it only from the monthly bill. To find out about expenses in the current period, contact *990*5#.

Those who use tariff plans with packages of minutes, SMS and megabytes should know the command *990*558# call. This way you will know the remainder.

If all contract numbers are on the same personal account, then the commands for checking the balance will not change. The information that appears on the screen will vary. Each employee will see the same figure - the amount of money in the account, the limit provided and other information on the balance. Most often, ordinary users do not need this information, since the account is replenished by the organization’s accounting department, which also monitors the balance. If management does not want to disclose this information, then the ability to check the balance can be disabled.

The question of “Personal budget” remains. If an employee dials the usual command *100#, he will see the status of the general personal account; to check information on a personal account, he must dial the combination of numbers *990*4#.

That's all we wanted to tell you about checking the balance on Megafon corporate numbers. If you still have questions, you can call 8-800-550-0555.
