Checking the account on the operator’s phone number is possible both on your own and on someone else’s. There is a “Friend’s Balance” option, which makes it possible to find out how much money is in the other subscriber’s account. Its use is limited due to the fact that it is intended for those users who are connected to the Mayak tariff. Here we will also provide detailed description this unusual tariff.

Overview of TP "Mayak"

There are several categories of tariffs provided by MTS to its subscribers:

  • To those who use tablet computers, smartphones, modems;
  • For users of so-called “smart” devices;
  • Telematic services.

The previously mentioned “Mayak” tariff relates specifically to the third category. It was created for people who are forced to frequently make calls such as “fax” and “CSD”. They are relevant for transmitting information in encrypted form and sending faxes. As a rule, SIM cards connected to this tariff are installed on faxes, navigation devices, modems and various other hardware.

So that a person can afford to work with the described types of calls, the operator has developed a special-purpose tariff plan called “Beacon”. There is no mandatory monthly fee, as well as packages of various services. The tariff for this format of local calls in the MTS network is 1.5 rubles. per minute, to numbers of other operators 3 rubles. in a minute. On-net calls within Russia cost five rubles per minute, to other numbers - fourteen rubles per minute.

One megabyte of Internet on this tariff costs 4.5 rubles. The advantage is that it is possible to connect additional options. If you need to send messages from your device, you should activate profitable SMS packages. In the standard format, prices are as follows: local format numbers - 1.5 rubles per message, interregional SMS costs 3.8 rubles per piece, sending to international numbers costs 5.25 rubles per message.

Attention! A user of a mobile phone or smartphone with a SIM card to which the described tariff is connected can check the account balance by dialing *100#, find out the balance for services - *100*1#, for options - *217#.

How can I check the availability of money on another number?

If you want to know the status of your second account, then dial 0890 and call help desk, where you clarify all the information you need from the operator. You will need to provide your personal information.

Now let’s figure out how to be aware of the status of the personal account of another subscriber, for example, a grandmother, a child, and so on. On the operator’s official website, you need to log into your “Personal Account” and from there send a special password to the phone you purchased. After this action, even without access to the number itself, you can always find out if there is money there.

As already mentioned, there is also a special service called “Friend’s Balance”, which allows you to check the account on someone else’s phone. This function itself is strange, since it makes it possible to obtain information only about the numbers that are connected to the described tariff plan. We are already aware that “Mayak” belongs to a highly specialized category and it is not clear why the user’s relatives should check the account on the number.

There are several conditions under which you can find out the status of someone else’s number using this service:

  • The main thing is that the specified TP is connected to this number;
  • The rest can be connected to any tariff from MTS;
  • Serving everyone telephone numbers takes place in Moscow or the region;
  • Users with access to verification are not connected to corporate TPs.

The ability to check someone else's phone account is provided to no more than ten subscribers. The owner of the main number adds them to the list and leaves them as long as he has such a need.

There is no need to talk about the benefits of such a service for most users. But if a person is forced to use non-standard equipment in his work and telematic communication, then this is by the way. If these are modems built into voice gateways, routers, PBXs, and so on, then checking whether there is money in the account is problematic. In this particular situation, the service provided by the operator is useful.

How can you connect “Friend’s Balance” and find out the necessary information

There is no charge for connecting to the service and no subscription fee is charged either. To connect it, you need to dial the combination *111*422# or use the “ Personal account" After this, a list of trusted persons is compiled. These people will be able to view the balance without any problems. To add, dial *111*422#. Further actions are performed according to the instructions.

The most important thing remains: you will find out exactly how you can find out the status of someone else’s account. The combination *140*number# is dialed. There is no need to pay for this request. What’s noteworthy is that the same number has the right to find out about the position of someone else’s balance on many numbers. Their number is not limited.

Attention! If you want to connect to the described service and configure it, you need to install a SIM card on any mobile device that works on the Mayak TP. In the future, you can remove it from your phone and rearrange it into any equipment.
