MTS, “Share balance” - what is this service and how to use it?

The ability to make transactions with a zero balance from different mobile operators is very popular. For example, MTS “Share your balance” is considered a rather advantageous offer. And subscribers use it often. But not everyone knows what it is. Now we will try to find out everything that may relate to this proposal. Maybe you can find a use for it.

How to top up the balance of another phone from your phone

When might this be relevant?

Looking ahead, I will say that often using the transfer service from a mobile phone to a bank card is not profitable. High tariffs and limits make this method less effective than topping up with cash or transferring from card to card. But there may be cases when this will be relevant:

1. If you have a decent amount of money on your phone, but your bank card is empty, or you don’t have enough for a purchase. Looking for an ATM to top up your card with cash (and there may not be cash or an ATM) or a person from whom you can borrow is not always possible. It's faster to transfer from your mobile account.
2. You decided to change your mobile operator, but there is still money in your account. Then it’s best to withdraw them to your bank card.
3. Sometimes it happens that you accidentally credit the wrong amount to your account as you planned. For example, they added an extra zero, and now you have not 300, but 3,000 rubles on your phone. If you don’t need such a large amount in your account, you can transfer the excess to a bank card.
4. It is rare, but there are transfers of earned money, usually small ones, to a cell phone number. It’s easier to leave them there, but if the amount is four figures, then it’s more logical to withdraw and withdraw cash if necessary.

Before any of the described cases happen to you, read the article to be fully armed and not waste time searching for information at the right time.
