Having a cell phone has made life so much easier. Now you do not need to sit by the phone and wait for the right call. You can just take it with you. But in order to always be in touch, you need to have at least a minimum amount in your account. So, you need to constantly monitor the balance. Megafon took care of its customers and provided far more than one way to do this. The subscriber only has to choose the most suitable one for himself.

USSD, text and call

The easiest and most popular way to check your account is of course to send a USSD or SMS request. Less often, calls are made to a special number for this. And even less often they call the help desk to find out their balance. Megafon, however, supports all services, and they work equally well. But first things first.

Most often, before topping up their account, subscribers dial a simple and easy-to-remember USSD request "100". In response, the display will show information not only about the amount of money in the account, but also the bonus balance. Megaphonehas long been using this command also to advertise its services, so many do not like this overly intrusive service. Instead, they prefer to send an SMS request to the number 000100. In response, after one or two minutes, a message arrives with information about the account status.

Those who can't type these requests usually use another method. Namely, they make a call to the number 0501 (or +79271110501) and listen to the Megafon autoinformer. You can find out the balance in this way both from your mobile phone and from a landline. All three options are completely free when used in your home region. But in roaming you will have to pay for SMS and calls.

Live balance

But mobile technologies are developing, and Megafon offers a convenient "Live Balance" service for its subscribers. With it, you don't have to worry about unexpected expenses. The screen display will constantly show the current balance. Megafon updates data about it after each write-off from the account within 10-15 seconds. In addition, the service will automatically work in roaming immediately after registration in the network.

But for the convenience you will have to pay a little extra, a very insignificant amount. Connection is very simple using the combination "1341". But before that, it is advisable to check whether the phone model supports such services. To do this, dial "134". Further, everything is simple: if the display appearsinformation about the balance, then the service is available, and if nothing has changed, then, unfortunately, no.

Balance of loved ones

Of course, all these methods are good for checking your account. But what if you need to find out how much money another Megafon subscriber has on the phone? Checking the balance in this case will also not take much time. It is enough to use the "Balance of relatives" service. To do this, send an SMS with the text "BAL" from your phone or call 0500755. The main thing is that permission to check the account be sent from the phone of a loved one. He must dial the command "755" in advance. This service, like others, is provided free of charge.
