How to put money on your phone from a Sberbank card via phone

When is it necessary to top up traffic on MTS?

The mobile operator MTS is known not only in Russia, but also in Ukraine, Belarus and other countries. And all subscribers, in addition to calls and SMS, use access to the mobile Internet. According to general rules, traffic is provided according to the client’s tariff. But this volume is often used ahead of schedule, after which the speed drops sharply and access to the Internet becomes difficult.

Therefore, any subscriber can receive additional megabytes and thereby update his account, and then use the received traffic until the megabytes are credited according to the tariff plan. There are several options for gaining access to the Network.

In operator's branded stores

How to pay for an Internet connection? The easiest way is to contact the provider directly. You will be able to make a payment without additional commission, get advice, ask questions and find out answers. All you have to do is go to the nearest salon and deposit money. Almost all Russian cities, large and small, have MTS stores, so it won’t be difficult to find one in your locality. You need to indicate the contract number and the amount of money to be paid. In ten to fifteen seconds you will be given a receipt. Almost always, money arrives in your personal account immediately after deposit.

By the way, if you made a payment using another method, but the money still hasn’t appeared in your account, you can resolve the issue in the store. Consultants will also accept other complaints if you have any. To find out the addresses of the provider's salons that are located in close proximity to you, just go to the MTS website and view a map of their location.

How to top up gigabytes on MTS

Replenishing the required number of gigabytes on MTS depends on several factors. In particular, this is the subscriber's tariff plan. In second place is the volume that the user needs.

• Dial the USSD command *467# in the phone menu and press the “Call” button;

This option is called "1GB Turbo Button". Its cost is 175 rubles, and its validity is 30 days.

How to top up megabytes on MTS

Very often, subscribers try to order a small amount of traffic, because they understand that they will not be able to use it all. To ensure that customers do not overpay, the operator has provided the opportunity to order a small number of megabytes with a limited validity period. There are only two such packages - 100 MB and 500 MB.

To receive the minimum package you must:

• use the special USSD command *111*05*1#;
• send the number 5 to the standard number 5340.

100 megabytes can be obtained for 2 days. Cost – 30 rubles. To use you need:

• send USSD request *167#;
• use SMS with text 167.

This traffic is provided for a month and costs 95 rubles.

Payment by bank card

You can also make a payment using this payment instrument. You just need a bank card. Today this is the simplest and most universal way to pay for various services. You can become the owner of a bank card by visiting the same MTS Bank or Sberbank (your options) , where the conditions are most suitable for you. How is payment made?

You can use a service called “Easy Payment”. Just find the required category and enter the account number and the deposited amount in a special form. Please note that we pay via MasterCard or VISA. A form will appear where you enter the details (card number, expiration date, CVV2, CVC2 code, owner’s name and phone number). Then we confirm the operation via SMS or another option is possible.

Attention!

This payment method makes it possible to deposit money towards payment for services without additional commission from the provider. However, the bank may charge a commission percentage, so check this fact in advance. You can also deposit money at an ATM.

Checking and replenishing your account

You should check your bill before ordering additional gigabytes. This option is also needed after receiving traffic. An MTS subscriber can find out how many megabytes are left using several methods:

1. You need to dial the combination *107# in the phone menu and press “Call”. After this, a special menu will open where you need to select the number 1 and “Call”. In response, you will receive a message with the necessary information.
2. There are two more combinations, after sending which you receive an SMS from the operator. These are *111*217# and *217#.
3. If you send an SMS with a “?” to number 5340, you will also receive a message with information about traffic.
4. This data can be easily found out by logging into your Personal Account on the official website or mobile application.

Often the next step for a subscriber is to top up their balance so that the operator can withdraw money for additional access to the Network. There are several payment options. The most common methods are replenishment cards and terminals.

If we talk about paying online, the easiest way to do this is through online banking. Users who have virtual accounts can also top up their balance using them. These are WebMoney, Qiwi, Yandex.Money. All you need to do is log in to the system, enter your phone number and amount, and then click “Pay.” The transaction is usually confirmed with a code from the message. You can also enable Autopayment.

Possible problems and their solutions

MTS subscribers rarely experience difficulties with replenishing their accounts and receiving additional services, including access to the Internet. And if any problems do occur, they are most often associated with insufficient money in the account. If there are not enough funds to pay for traffic, the operator will be forced to reject the application.

Another problem is an error in the USSD command. It is very important to carefully check all entered data, otherwise the application will also not be processed. If problems arise due to the fault of the operator, then you should call the hotline and report the problem to a specialist.

Having an MTS SIM card, the subscriber will not be left without access to the World Wide Web. If the main traffic runs out, you can always get additional megabytes. Thanks to this, the speed will not drop and you will be able to fully use the Internet. There are several ways to place an order. It is most convenient to use the USSD combination, since the procedure takes only a few minutes.

Nuances and limitations

The cost of packages for the capital is 250 (1 GB rub.) and 500 (4 GB rub.). Their price is quite affordable for everyone and shows that the more traffic is ordered, the lower the costs for each megabyte provided. All packages can be connected in unlimited quantities to increase speed. However, subscribers must remember that they will be disconnected at the onset of the next reporting period. Add-on packages are mainly used by clients in cases where the paid options run out. When a new reporting period begins, the traffic is burned out and is not compensated.

Each package is valid only until the 25th of each month. If the additional package ends earlier, you will need to connect additional packages to your mobile phone again. Such options are permitted by the established terms and conditions for the provision of services. If you do not enable one of the options, the network access speed will be limited by the operator - a maximum of 64 kbit per second.

Why do you need SMS when transferring funds?

Most commercial banks offer their clients transactions with funds protected by SMS codes. Thus, in order to confirm any action, the client must receive a message with a code and enter it in a special field provided. This is usually necessary for security reasons.

In another case, SMS may be required directly to complete the operation itself. Many organizations offer to use Mobile Banking, through which funds are transferred by sending a message to a special number.
