Account verification
So, in order to obtain the necessary information on the account, you should study how to find out the balance and in what ways this can be done. To achieve this, the mobile operator has made several solutions. Each person chooses which method to use:
- If the client uses a modem to access the Internet, which can be used both on a desktop computer and on a laptop, then a program must be recorded and installed on the equipment. This program is called "Connect Manager". This software is installed automatically after connecting the MTS modem to the computer. With the help of the manager, users can connect to the Internet and go online. Please note that the manager has a menu called “Account Management”. You can find a similar menu in the right corner of the open program. By going to the tab, the client can find and press the check balance button. Thus, a window will open in which you can see the remaining money and traffic.
- Another method of viewing your balance is to use a similar software. But if you use this method, you should go to the section where you enter ussd combinations. Next, you need to dial * 100 #, and then click on the send button. After this, a window will open with information about the balance on your balance.
- This method can also be compared with the previous method. If you have experience in removing the back cover of the device, as well as removing the SIM card, then you will need to do the same procedure and remove the SIM card. Then insert it into your mobile phone and after turning it on, enter the same request * 100 #.
- The last method is to use a personal account. This is the method that is becoming more popular every day among MTS clients. To do this, you need to go to the website of the mobile operator. After which you will need to go to your account and register in it. If the registration data has already been left earlier, then you can simply log in to the system and information on the balance and remaining megabytes will be provided in the upper right corner.
These are all the available methods for viewing balance information via a modem. If any difficulties arise, it is recommended to contact the help desk operator.
To do this, you will need to dial 0890 and, after connecting, press the number 0. Then wait for a connection with an operator who can help with solving any problem. In addition, the help desk employee can also tell you the balance of the modem.
