Live Balance on Megafon - detailed description of the service!

Date: July 28, 2021 | Updated: August 23, 2021 | Author: Moblie-man

Most subscribers of any modern operator have long been unaccustomed to the need to constantly monitor the status of their account balance. This happened, perhaps, due to the fact that we often all use tariff plans that include certain quotas for minutes, messages and mobile Internet. That is, having paid once a month, we no longer think about any additional expenses.

However, among the range of tariffs there are such offers in which there is no subscription fee, and you must pay separately for the services used. And in this situation, up-to-date information about the account status will be more useful than ever, which will allow you to avoid troubles associated with a sudden “minus” in the account. Fortunately, MegaFon has implemented for this purpose, which we will pay attention to today.

What is “Live Balance” from MegaFon

This option is an information service that is displayed to subscribers as regular notifications on the device screen. Accordingly, by connecting “Live Balance”, you will be able to always know how much money is in your account.

The information is displayed constantly, showing on the device screen after each operation performed, be it a call, a sent message, or used Internet traffic, the current ratios of the amounts on the account. No sound signals are sent to the device.

It is worth emphasizing that this option works correctly even if the subscriber is roaming (both Russian and international), which is a big advantage.

How to disable “Live Balance” on Megafon North-West

Subscribers of the Megafon North-West branch can also apply all the methods described above and disable the service. It is important to know that only the first connection to the service is free. All subsequent activations will cost the client 50 rubles if there is a need to use the service again.

In addition, it is convenient to enable and disable this additional feature in your personal account on the website of the mobile operator Megafon. With its help, you can manage all available services, as well as change the tariff plan, withdraw money from your balance and control current expenses.

• Log in to the site, as described above. A phone number and password from SMS are enough. You can order a password via USSD request *105*00#.
• Go to the service management section and find the “Live Balance” option; in the current situation, it will be in the connected section.
• We set the switch opposite the service to disabled mode and wait for an SMS notification to your phone that the request has been completed.

In this way, you can organize the management of all connected subscriber options. In addition, you can go to the “All services” tab and connect additional ones.

Using the service

In the process of using this service, the operator’s subscribers may well encounter various difficulties and questions, so we also offer useful information that may be useful to you:

• If your account balance is not updated after using a paid service, it may be due to network outages or poor connectivity. In this case, the data will be updated after the next call or message;
• Information about account status is not provided online. Accordingly, it will not be possible to check your account balance during a call;
• If the phone is rebooted, the account information is erased and is not displayed on the screen. To see up-to-date information, you need to make a call, use the Internet, or send a message;
• If there is insufficient funds in the account, the service continues to be provided.

Features of provision

To disable “Live Balance”, you need to go to MegaFon’s official website in your Personal Account.

Here in the “Services, options and subscriptions” section you should find the “Live Balance” option and click on the disable button.

After this, you will receive confirmation that the service is disabled:

But many continue to use the service, since the subscription fee is extremely low, and the benefits are obvious. You can connect or disconnect the service free of charge, the number of times is not limited. Before connecting, you need to check whether your phone supports this function, for which you need to dial *134#. If there is no support, then nothing will happen; if the smartphone works with such a service, then the current balance will immediately appear on the screen. But it will not be updated until the service is activated.

In some cases, information is not updated without disabling Live Balance. This happens if the phone is offline, for example, in the subway. Also, the update is not carried out during a call - the balance data will be updated only some time after the end of the call, Internet session or other actions provided on a paid basis. In some cases, the update will come only after the paid action is repeated.

Should I turn it off in international roaming? No, the service is provided on the same basis as in your home region, that is, additional funds are not debited. It’s quick to disable the service, but in roaming it can be extremely useful for those who want to always stay in touch and control costs.

Option management

When you activate the “Live Balance” option, your phone screen will always display the status of your phone bill. After making a call, sending an SMS, accessing the Internet, or topping up your account, all information about your balance is instantly updated and displayed on the screen.

Why is it needed?

This option eliminates the need to control your mobile account balance, and is very useful for those subscribers who are roaming, since it constantly shows the status of your account from the phone screen.

Other connection methods

This can also be done using an SMS request to the number 000134. The message can contain any characters and even be empty. After one minute a confirmation will come and the service will work. Those who are not comfortable sending SMS can use the voice menu. To do this, you need to dial the number 0500901, and immediately after the end of the call it will work.

MegaFon has provided the possibility of connecting it using the very popular “Service Guide”. On the main page you need to go to the “Options, Popular MegaFon” “Live Balance” section. Disabling, by the way, is done in the same way.

True, any cellular operator always has clients who prefer to entrust the connection of any services on their phone to professionals. Specialists accept applications for connecting “Live Balance” via the Internet, by phone and in the office in the presence of the subscriber.

Similar offers from other networks

The emergence of such an opportunity for Megafon users prompted its closest competitors in the field of cellular services to think about developing similar functions for their users. For example, the "black and yellow" operator offers a similar option called " On-Screen Balance ". The MTS company has this. The operating principle of these services is practically the same among different cellular companies, but the difference is only in the features of their provision.

The cost of paying for these services differs between different operators, as well as connection methods. But all operators offer activation independently or through consultants. This service is suitable for businessmen and business people who do not limit themselves in communication and find it convenient to see changes in the phone balance in real time. And account control in roaming conditions is generally a bonus.

Live Balance service - characteristics of work

The service helps you track the current size of your mobile phone balance in real time. If the parameters of your mobile device meet the service requirements, the current balance of the Megafon SIM card will be displayed on the display. The information is updated immediately after any payment transaction is completed.

No sounds are played when updating balance data. If the mobile phone is turned off, then this data disappears from the screen, and then appears again when the amount of money in the account changes. If, after making a payment, you find yourself in an area where there is no Megafon network signal, the information will not be updated. Updated data will appear on the screen after completing paid actions.

Attention : not all mobile devices support the “Live Balance” function. To check this feature, send a free request * 134 # using the call button. If your device supports this feature, the current balance will appear on the display. Such a request is a test request and does not activate this service.

“ Live Balance ” is available for any mobile devices that support this option, that is, for smartphones, tablet computers and some simple mobile phones.

Ways to disable

Disabling the service is possible in three ways, which the subscriber chooses at his own discretion.

All manipulations are performed free of charge, so deactivating the service only takes extra time, but does not require debiting money.

Operating principle and features of “Living Balance”

Like any operator functions, Live Balance has its own operating characteristics. They are associated with the special technology on which the option operates. The user sees the usual account balance numbers on the screen. In reality, for them to be displayed on the display, every minute the mobile device exchanges information with the base station, the client base. When the number's balance changes positively or negatively, the readings on the phone screen change.

There are other nuances in the operation of the option related to the restrictions set by the Megafon operator. For example, the option is available only to those users who have no more than 5 numbers registered on their account. “Living Balance” is provided to legal entities and individuals; in this case, the company does not differentiate between clients.

When traveling to foreign countries, this service also works and controls your account balance, as in your home region. The service is not available in all countries; you can find out more information on the operator’s website or a help desk specialist. There are nuances of this service that many subscribers do not understand. For example, after turning off the phone, information about money on the phone disappears from the screen. But the service is still valid. When you perform another paid action, the readings will appear again.

Due to the technical features of the option, the balance on the screen does not change during a conversation. But after the call ends, the data will be immediately updated. The same situation arises when sending text messages, using the World Wide Web and other paid activities. Information about replenishing your account balance appears quickly. The operator does not provide any additional fees for using the service when traveling to other regions or abroad.
