In this article you will find workable and proven methods for obtaining up-to-date information on the number of minutes remaining within the connected tariff plan.
USSD command to check the remaining minutes
This method is the most popular because it allows customers to obtain information quickly and easily. To check, you need to send a USSD request from your mobile phone: * 100 * 1 #. By sending the command, within one minute you will receive an SMS message containing information about available minutes and SMS messages on the connected tariff plan.
If additional options of the cellular operator are not activated, then you can find out how many minutes are left using a USSD request: * 100 * 2 #.
This method has no restrictions. You can send as many similar requests as you like and they will all be free.
Call technical support
Another option is to call the operator. This method is less used. You can call the operator if the screen on your phone does not work or you want to get additional information on your tariff or calls.
To connect with an operator, you need to dial the contact center number 0890. Then follow the prompts of the electronic assistant or wait for a connection with an operator. Quite often, call centers are overloaded with calls, and you will have to wait some time until a free consultant appears.
A call to support is free, minutes are also not removed from your balance.
Checking the remaining minutes in your Personal Account

Find out via USSD request
According to standard conditions, if the established set of free minutes ends before the end of the billing period, then per-minute communication billing automatically starts, which hits hard on your pocket. To prevent this, it is advisable to periodically check the available balance in the current month. To do this, remember the USSD code *100*1#. After dialing, the exact number of remaining minutes and SMS will appear on the display.
If you have activated additional services for extending the standard set of minutes or purchased them for bonuses, you can view them using the following command - *100*2#. Don't forget to check your balance by pressing *100#. In a couple of seconds you will receive a notification from your provider in the form of SMS.
