MTS “Balance under Control” service: description of how to connect and disconnect

MTS “Balance under control” - what is this service?

The option is similar to another similar option - Live Balance. But unlike this service, the client is provided not only with information about the account status, but also data on the cost of services provided.

How the service works:

• For example, you make a call.
• After its completion, the cost of the service is calculated and written off.
• Information about the cost of the call and the current balance appears on the phone screen.
• You constantly monitor the balance of funds and will be able to quickly find out if it is approaching zero.

Please note that information is displayed exclusively on the screen. The settings are not saved as SMS, so you will not be able to find the message in the smartphone’s memory. But in reality this fact will not become a serious problem.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the main advantages of the offer, subscribers noted:

1. The service works on all tariff offers.
2. Uninterrupted operation.
3. It’s convenient to check your balance, just unlock your phone.
4. Low cost.
5. Opportunity to work abroad.

Among the shortcomings, users noted only the lack of a report on other services. That is, it allows you to find out the amount of money written off for calls without providing information about other options (sending SMS, Internet traffic, etc.).

Nuances

The MTS Balance under control service is an excellent option for people who make a lot of calls. But the presented option only applies to voice calls. You will not be able to view prices for services such as:

1. Video calls.
2. SMS and MMS.
3. Payment for Internet traffic.
4. Various additional services.

The most useful option will be when you are in roaming. Since the cost of calls when staying in another country is high, it is necessary to constantly monitor the expense of funds and the current balance.

Who is it suitable for?

Such an offer will be useful not only for those users who, with the help of constant cost control, want to check how suitable the tariff plan they are using is.

This service will also be useful to subscribers temporarily staying outside the country. For example, during a vacation or on a business trip abroad, you activated roaming because you plan to often call your loved ones. Roaming prices are very different from the cost of calls in your home region. If you want to track how much money is debited from your balance after each call in order to understand how long you can communicate with loved ones who are in another region or even in another country, then “Balance under Control” from MTS is exactly what you need to you. This service works not only in long-distance, but also in international roaming.

Important: In international roaming, “Balance under control” will correctly display information only in countries where online roaming operates (140 countries). If your country of residence is not included in the list of states where online roaming is enabled, then notifications about the balance of funds may arrive very late or may not arrive at all.

This offer is available to subscribers of any MTS tariff plans. The option is active even in some tariffs that have been archived, for example, “Caring”, “RED”, “Regional”, “Universal”, “Super Jeans” or “Hot Jeans”. More detailed information about the compatibility of the service with your current tariff can be obtained from the company’s Call Center or on the official website www.mts.ru.

Advantages and disadvantages

What advantages does the presented service have?

• It is available to customers with various tariff plans.
• Functions perfectly.
• Information is quickly displayed on the screen.
• You can be confident in the accuracy of the data provided.
• You can comfortably control your spending and current balance.
• You can promptly find out when your balance is approaching zero and top up your account.

The disadvantage of the service is that it only works for voice calls. For now, the company is not expanding its capabilities, as it does not see the need for further development of the provided service.

MTS cost

It is worth paying attention to the fact that previously this service was provided to absolutely all subscribers free of charge. Today, neither in the capital, nor in the region, nor in any other Russian regions, free information about withdrawing funds from the balance for a completed outgoing call is provided.

How much will it cost to use it? You will spend no more than 3.1 rubles per month, since the service is provided with a subscription fee, and its amount per day is only 10 kopecks. Spend 3 rubles a month - and you will always have an idea of ​​your expenses for voice calls made, and will also avoid analyzing the ordered details.

Currently, subscribers of almost all existing tariff plans can use this service. This also applies to some archived tariffs: “Universal”, “Super Jeans”, “Caring”, “Hot Jeans”, “RED”, “Regional” and many others. To clarify issues of compatibility of specific tariff plans with the service, it is best to contact the contact center or the MTS showroom (the nearest service office).

The cost of the service per day is only 10 kopecks. Total monthly payment will be 3 rubles. For this amount, you will always be able to control your balance and have time to replenish it in a timely manner. It is worth noting that previously a similar offer from the mobile operator MTS was free. Today, there is a small fee to control costs. This amount is insignificant, because in return the subscriber will receive much greater convenience.

Connecting to the service is free. The price is provided including VAT.

Call the call center or visit the company office

If it is not possible to disable the service yourself, you can contact MTS employees directly - call the hotline number 0890 or go to any company office. The employee will directly disable the selected service through the operator’s database.

This service is suitable for those MTS users who need constant balance control. At the minimum cost of the service, only 3 rubles per month are withdrawn from the client’s account, regardless of the activity of use and the number of calls. This budget service eliminates the need for subscribers to regularly check their balance manually (performed using the USSD code *100# and the call button). It does not fill the mobile device's memory with SMS messages, and erases the notification cache immediately after viewing. If we also take into account the low cost of “Balance Under Control”, its minor disadvantages become insignificant.

Description of service

It should be noted that its correct operation will only be available where online roaming works - this is Russia (intranet roaming) and about 140 countries around the world.

Notifications came only after using voice call services.
