Yota unlimited mobile applications are an opportunity to choose the mobile applications you need and not waste traffic on them. Yota provides subscribers with the opportunity to customize not only tariff plans, but also individual options. In this case, we are talking about unlimited mobile applications.
Unlimited mobile apps - what does it mean? This means that by paying for any application once a month, you will use it without spending traffic. For example, you have a package of 100 minutes, 10 GB of traffic and purchased one unlimited application, for example Vkontakte. Every time you use social networks, Instagram, Odnoklassniki and other applications, you will waste traffic. And you can use Vkontakte at least 24/7, not a megabyte of the total traffic will be used.
Promised payment
You can search for a long time on the Internet to find out how to take the promised payment on Iota, there is simply no such command. The operator does not provide the opportunity to take the promised payment. Checking balances and balances
The most popular, perhaps, among Yota USSD commands are those related to checking traffic balances, SMS, and funds.
In order to find out the personal account balance, the subscriber will need to dial *100#. After a short period of time, the device will receive an information SMS, which will indicate the number of available funds.
An alternative option is the USSD command - *101#. It will allow you to view the remaining included minutes, SMS, megabytes of traffic.
Chat on the official website
By calling the Yota contact center at the above number, you will receive answers to any questions. But there is another way to get help - it is to use the chat that works on the official website. This Iota contact is universal; you can use it to solve any communication problems
.
To access the chat, go to the operator’s official website and go to the “Support” section. Next, you need to select which device the problem is with – a smartphone/tablet or a modem/router. After this, the system will take you to the section with popular questions and answers. Ignore the contents of the section and click on the “Contact Chat” link in the “Didn’t find an answer” block. Indicate the name of your city in the chat form, enter your name or personal account number, enter a question - the Yota operator will answer you in a few seconds or minutes.
This contact is one of the most immediate, but it requires an Internet connection. If you have problems accessing the World Wide Web, call the above number.
The essence of USSD control commands
Yota provides the following command: *105*X#. The request is aimed at those users who use unlimited tariffs. It allows you to connect an additional package of minutes. Example: USSD command - *105*100# - will add a package for 100 minutes.
On new tariff plans that came into effect in 2017, the USSD command is used to select a package - *106*X#.
It will be useful to remember the abbreviated commands:
Activation of the “Free Inbox” option (30 minutes per day (does not transfer). Validity period is 30 days). Turn on - *135#
Request for remaining minutes in roaming - *136#
Short USSD commands help users quickly resolve an issue without an application or calling an operator, in the absence of an Internet connection and limited network coverage. Surely, you know very well how to check the balance on your phone - this is a USSD request.
Unstructured Supplementary Service Data is a method of direct communication between a subscriber and a service center in a GSM network. Unlike the exchange of SMS messages, these requests are exchanged directly without an intermediate station, which helps to quickly resolve the issue in one session.
The USSD service works on all modern phone models and helps subscribers manage applications. Many issues can be resolved with the help of such requests: check your account, see the balance of your tariff plan, connect additional packages of minutes, add Internet traffic, manage call parameters and SMS message settings.
In order to use the USSD service, you need to activate the SIM card, this happens after placing the card in your phone or tablet and turning on the data transfer function, then to agree to the terms you need to do one of the following:
Tariff builder for smartphones: Build your Yota
On the main page of the Yota website there is a tariff constructor that allows you to make your own calculations. No registration is required to use it. Anyone can calculate a tariff that is convenient for themselves and compare the price with offers from their operator.
The tariff constructor works very simply:
- Check to see if your home region is correctly identified (in the upper left corner of the site).
- Select the number of minutes convenient for you in the upper scale by dragging the slider from left to right.
- Similarly, indicate the number of gigabytes you need on the lower scale.
- From the list of application logos, select those that you will use regularly.
- Estimate the calculated cost of the package. If you are not satisfied with it, change the settings.
After calculating the tariff package, you can immediately order a SIM card by clicking on the button under the designer. To receive a SIM card, a visit to the provider’s office is not necessary; you can order its delivery using a courier.
Please note: tablet rates are calculated separately. In the designer, you need to select the “tablet” tab.
Mobile Internet in roaming
Special conditions—detailed description *131# one-time activation of the service,
*132# switch on for an unlimited time.
Find out the balance of Volume 1 and Volume 2 packages by dialing *133#
The option is activated only for tariffs with unlimited Internet. If you activate this service, you should pay attention that the price of Internet distribution via Wi-Fi depends on the region where the subscriber is located.
Yota subscribers who use new tariffs can use the option of unlimited mobile applications along with the main traffic packages. Thanks to this feature, it becomes possible to use a number of social networks without spending basic Yota traffic.
In order to activate the option, you should dial the USSD command - *604#.
Exhausting your traffic limit is not a problem. In order to quickly regain access to the network, you need to send the command *605#. After executing this USSD command, you will receive an additional 5 GB.
Yota group on the social network VKontakte
Knowing the Yota support contacts, you can quickly resolve almost any issue. One of these contacts is the social network VKontakte, in which there is a group called “Yota”. Here we can get help with any problem. News from the Iota operator is also published here.
The group provides the following communication channels:
- Personal messages – an opportunity to directly contact Iota representatives, without publicly disclosing the problem;
- Convictions – there are several thematic threads to choose from, where thematic questions are asked (for example, on equipment);
- In the comments to the posts, you can ask your question here, but in most cases, support asks you to contact me in a private message.
Unlimited SMS to Yota
Despite the fact that the Internet is available almost everywhere and with everyone, and instant messengers are widespread, text messages do not lose their relevance. Therefore, the tariffs of many operators include a large number of free messages, or even unlimited. Iota was no exception.
Unlimited SMS can be activated for only 50 rubles.
1) Through a mobile application (phone) or Personal account on the Yota website (SIM for a modem router)
3) Technical support via SMS - to the short number 0999
How do I find out if my number is blocked or not I am in Sevastopol
I couldn’t even imagine that it has so many convenient, short commands. I used to do everything through my personal account, but it turns out it’s so simple.
My Yota has zero balance. Now you have to look for the nearest ATM or terminal to top up your account.
Extended traffic with a short command.
You can add a lot of unlimited services to your tariff package for exactly those directions that are in demand by the user. Among the unlimited areas are social networks, instant messengers, and text messages.
You can also change the tariff or service package on the operator’s tariff offers using short commands. For old tariffs with unlimited Internet, you can change the number of included minutes using the command * 105 * N #, where the N value corresponds to the required number of minutes. And for tariffs with a traffic package, you can change the parameters by dialing * 106#.
Hotline
Hotline contacts Yota allows you to solve any problem in voice mode. For this purpose, the operator’s network has a contact number 8-800-550-00-07. If you are not a fan of communicating on social networks, and prefer to receive help during telephone conversations, feel free to call the above number. Here you can request assistance with services and get answers to financial questions
. In order not to lose this Iota contact, write it down in your phone book.
All calls to the Yota hotline number 8-800-550-00-07 are absolutely free, even if they are made from phones of other telecom operators.
Beacon
A simple and popular option. It is provided by most providers, Yota being one of them. The bottom line is that it makes it possible to send an informational message to the person you want to contact - a request to call back. The function allows you to stay in touch even if there are no funds in your account.
If you are unable to make a call, then dial the USSD command *144*number#. Please note that the number of the interlocutor must be indicated in 11 characters.
To avoid abuse and protect customers from a barrage of messages asking to call back, Yota sets a limit on the number of possible sends. You can use the option no more than five times during the day (calculation is carried out not for a specific target subscriber, but for all numbers in total).
Available limits
As everyone will think, everything is very simple and no difficulties should arise. But you can’t do without pitfalls. There will be no benefit in a situation if the service is used by fraudulent users for unlawful purposes. Not only all users of the mobile operator will suffer, but also the network itself.
No one can say the exact limit. But there are restrictions on the number of messages sent during a certain period (hour, day, etc.). For this purpose, there are internal algorithms of the mobile operator. No one will disclose this data. This means that the device cannot be used as an SMS center. That is, there is supposedly no limit.
It is worth noting that the cellular operator, when determining such restrictions that constantly arise on the user’s side, may establish a ban on the subsequent use of such a service. So you should be careful when implementing this option.
Three simple ways to send SMS for free in the video review below.

How to choose the number of minutes in the tariff
For subscribers who have previously used package offers for calls from Yota or other mobile operators, there will be no difficulties - they know very well how much time it takes to communicate on the phone.
For those who are encountering this task for the first time, you should look into your phone’s settings and look for the “Call Duration” or “Call Counter” item there; in some phone models, these parameters are located in the call menu. To evaluate the data obtained, you need to know when this counter was last reset to zero.
Newsletters and subscriptions
Accidentally connected or any other unwanted mailing that you want to refuse can be disabled by sending the USSD command - *903#. The reason for using the request is often unclear debits from the account.
Send the Yota USSD command, after which a menu will appear on the screen. In it you need to select the first item, and you will see a complete list of numbers that send the newsletter. Once you have identified numbers that distribute spam, add them to your blacklist.
Activation of additional services and services
You can create a list of social services that you will use unlimitedly on Yota yourself.

For profitable travel
Yota’s advantage is that while other operators are talking about canceling on-network roaming, the company has canceled it completely on its new tariffs. In any city where there is coverage from the company, you can use your tariff the same way as in your hometown. In addition, if a subscriber is in another region for more than a month, he will be offered a different regional tariff.
It is also possible to save money with an operator when traveling to another country. You can get special conditions for both calls and Internet use. You can also manage services in international roaming using short commands.
To use the Internet around the world, we offer connection of traffic packages that allow you to use ten or forty megabytes, depending on the country, at a special price. After using the package, access is suspended, but you can enable automatic renewal, and additional packages will be activated without the need for additional actions on the part of the user.
| Action | USSD Team |
| One-time connection to an Internet package in roaming | *131# |
| Enable/disable auto-renewal of access | *132# |
| Checking packet traffic in roaming | *133# |
For calls abroad, the operator offers a service that allows you to receive calls for free. To do this, just activate the package and receive thirty minutes of calls per day at no additional charge.
| Action | USSD Team |
| Enabling/disabling the option “30 minutes included per day for 39 rubles” | *135# |
| Checking the remaining minutes using the option “30 minutes included per day for 39 rubles” | *136# |
All commands in roaming are free, and you only pay for connecting packages of minutes or traffic volume.
The Internet while traveling is not just useful, but actually necessary. To ensure that using it while roaming does not lead to significant financial costs, it is important to activate the options provided by Yota.
Call waiting and holding Call holding is activated by dialing just a few characters - *43#. Disabling is no less simple, only one icon changes, the USSD command is #43#.
Whatsapp - what is it?
The official website of the developer is located here: https://www.whatsapp.com/. Unfortunately, there is no Russian version of the site, but I am sure that it will appear very soon.
This is a small program that is installed on the communicator and allows you to do the following simple operations:
— send text messages to other subscribers who also have it installed. That is, you have WhatsApp installed and I have it installed. We communicate almost for free. (We only pay for Internet traffic)
— we can send photos to each other
— send audio recordings to each other. (Forget about fiddling with weird Bluetooth)
— exchange geographical coordinates. For tourists and travelers, this feature can be very useful. It is sent not as longitude and latitude, but as an image on a Google map. I especially liked this feature.
— forward contacts. That is, there is no need to painfully dictate a phone number over the phone and whisper an e-mail: “and with a dot, es is like a dollar, the Russian letter A: – )))”
— I’ll say right away that you won’t be able to communicate by voice, unlike Viber.
By the way, if suddenly this wonderful program does not work for you, then there is no need to be upset.
There are, for example, such very, very worthy analogues, which I wrote about and gave detailed instructions:
- Kakao Talk is another excellent free chat service for mobile phones.
- Review of Line (a very popular application for free communication)
- Review of the extremely popular Viber service in Russia (if you want to continue paying gigantic communication bills, then don’t read:)
Payment for parking
A convenient way to pay for a paid parking space from your mobile phone. Attention. Payment is currently only available for residents of Moscow for payment Send an SMS to 7757**parking number*car number*number of hours from 1 to 24 (example: 1205*С001СС177*1); Extend parking time - send text XNumber of hours (example: extend for 3 hours - X3); Leave the parking lot early - send text S or C;
The option of paying for paid parking using a mobile phone is becoming increasingly popular. So far, only residents of the capital have this opportunity. It consists of payment.
Free SMS on Yota
Despite the development of innovative technologies, SMS messages sent to other cellular operators are not relegated to the background. But one or two is not always enough, which leads to the need to use Free SMS on Yota. Certain tariffs are aimed at using messages as the main source of communication. But Eta went further and allows users to use unlimited.
How does it all work
After activating the service, you can communicate and exchange files within any messenger with absolutely no restrictions. For example, listen to music and watch videos on VK, call friends on Viber or Telegram. The main traffic from the tariff will not be taken into account.
Of course, among the programs presented there are not many popular services, such as YouTube. However, the question here is rather about the technical capabilities of the Yota operator.
Mobile operator Yota cannot be called a newcomer, since it has already worked for several years on the Russian market, offering inexpensive voice communication services and Internet access. Today, millions of subscribers use the services of this company. Despite achieving some stability, users often encounter various problems when using communication services. You can deal with these problems only if you know Iota’s contacts. We will talk about them in our detailed review.
Yota support hotline
8-800-550-00-07
Unlimited cost
Free SMS on Yota becomes unlimited if you pay for the corresponding service. If you pay 50 rubles in addition to the tariff plan, they can be sent without restrictions and time frames. The option is extended automatically if the corresponding amount is available in the subscriber’s account balance. A complete guarantee is provided that users will send messages to their friends without a final number.
Such low payment limits are based on the fact that the benchmark is separated from calls and unlimited Internet when servicing customers. And SMS messages are a secondary plan that few people are interested in. This leads to the fact that a complete package of messages without restrictions on the ability to send costs only 50 rubles. The main thing is to make payments on time by having the specified balance amount.
Why Yota closed unlimited Internet for smartphones
The reason why the organization closed access to unlimited Internet was that users lost interest in unlimited Internet traffic. Management presented statistics according to which 80% of users on unlimited tariff plans did not spend more than 5 GB of traffic per month. Judging by the market situation, MTS, Beeline and Megafon operators in 2021 provided more affordable and profitable offers for phones with unlimited traffic.
And since the end of 2021, none of these providers offers users tariffs without traffic restrictions. It can be assumed that these changes are associated with the huge congestion of 4G and 3G networks, but at the moment, users use unlimited Internet much more often than cellular communications.
Free SMS to Iota using a computer
You can also send a free message via the Internet. Various services provide this opportunity. There is no need to register, pay for additional options, or enter your own personal data.
The only negative is the established restrictions regarding the number of messages to be sent. Among such services, afreesms stands out if you need to send SMS from a personal computer.

Connection procedure
To use free SMS on Yota, the service must be activated. To do this, you can use two popular options:
An unlimited number of messages on Eta requires payment of a minimum amount of 50 rubles. Until the option is completely disabled, the fee will be charged every month when approaching the end of the subscription period. This allows users not to think about restrictions on the number of SMS sent to other subscribers.
