You can check your balance on your MTS tablet in several ways. Checking your balance from a tablet is practically no different from a similar action from a mobile phone. We’ll tell you in detail how to check the balance on your tablet while in MTS service.
How to find out your home Internet balance?
In order to find out information on the current state of the home Internet from MTS, you also need to use several options to choose from:
- Working with the “Personal Account” on the official portal of MTS LLC. To do this, you are invited to enter the “Personal Account” tab in the upper right corner of the official portal by entering your login and password. In the menu itself you can see the current balance and some other control panels for your account.
- Direct contact to the company office.
IMPORTANT: This method will take you a long time, so the x-tarif.ru portal advises using it only in extremely important cases when it is impossible to find out the balance of your home Internet from MTS by other means.
So, you need to contact any available employee and tell him your problem. Be sure that within a few minutes you will receive the necessary information on the status of your home Internet personal account.
- A number of payment terminals (Sberbank, etc.) provide the right to check the status of a personal account using the entered code. To do this, as a rule, you need to enter the agreement number and password, in which field the necessary information on the account will appear on the terminal screen.

Users using metered Internet packages should monitor their traffic balance for two reasons: to know how many MB are left at their disposal, and to understand how many MB are still worth spending before the end of the month so that they do not burn up aimlessly. There are several ways to find out all the information about home and wireless Internet from MTS.
