• In the form that appears, fill out the fields marked with a red asterisk: the recipient’s phone number and the amount he should receive.
• Check the box next to the line “From an MTS cell phone account.”
• The system itself will calculate the sending amount taking into account the commission. You will see it opposite the “Amount to be paid” item; this is the amount that will be debited from your account.
• Check all the numbers for correctness and, if there are no errors, click on “Next”.

You can make it simpler and immediately follow the link, select “Mobile communications”, then “Megafon - cellular communications”, fill out the same fields and click “Next”. After this, you will be taken to the login page. If you have already registered on the portal, indicate your phone number instead of your login and the access code that you received during registration. If not, register, this procedure takes less than a minute.

If you often send money to the same subscriber, add his number to “Favorite payments”, then you won’t have to enter the number every time.

Additional Information

There are no special tricks in replenishing the numbers of other MTS subscribers, but the system has some nuances.

1. The minimum payment is 10 rubles, the maximum is 5,000. At the same time, no more than 10 transactions can be made per day, a maximum of 30,000 can be transferred in one day, and the total amount for the month should still not exceed 40,000 rubles.
2. The transfer service, either one-time from number to number or automatic, may not be available to iPhone users. Solving the problem is very simple, you need to go to the “Settings” menu section, find “Messages” there and switch the iMessage switch flag to “Disabled” mode.
3. If you are going to transfer a large amount from an MTS number to the number of another operator, then first withdrawing money to a bank card and then topping up your account from it will be more profitable - this will reduce the commission amount by more than 2 times.

That's all the subtleties you need to know when transferring funds between numbers. If something doesn’t work out for you, feel free to contact the consultants of the nearest communication store - they will help in any matter. Use MTS services with pleasure!

Option “Top up your account”

When the sender of the transfer finds himself in a situation of acute shortage of funds on his balance, the operator provides the “Top up account” function. The client sends a short request to the subscriber from whom he wishes to receive funds. The combination looks like this: *116*mobile number*required amount#call key. The system will send a message to the recipient of the request asking to share the balance. The operator does not charge a fee for the used function.

When performing a transaction, you should carefully enter the personal data and amount of the recipient's allowance. This is why additional system messages about payment confirmation are received. In controversial situations, you can contact the contact center for help. The operator will correct the mistake made by the sender or clarify difficult points.

If it is impossible to contact a person due to a temporary block, the subscriber can transfer money from MTS to another MTS number. Sharing money has become easy and fast. In an instant, the user will receive the long-awaited funds into his account and will get in touch after the restrictions on communication are lifted.

Send funds to subscriber

Send an SMS message to the subscriber to whom you want to transfer funds with the text: #transfer <transfer amount in rubles>

For example: #translation 300

After sending a transfer request, you will receive a message from number 6996 to confirm the transfer of funds. Next, follow the instructions received in the message.

After confirmation, you will receive an SMS indicating that funds have been successfully debited from your mobile phone account.

Example: You are an MTS subscriber and want to send money (200 rubles) to your friend, a Megafon subscriber with the number +79218888888. You type a new SMS message with the text: #transfer 200 and send this message to your friend to his Megafon number (in our example, this is the number +79218888888). in response you will receive a message from number 6996 to confirm the payment (follow the instructions from the SMS)

SMS messages

Another simple way to top up your Megafon account from an MTS number that does not require Internet access. To send money, you will need to send a text message of the following type to the phone number of the transfer recipient: “#transfer amount.” The word “translation” can be entered in capital or small letters, it does not matter. But there must be a space between it and the amount.

After sending the SMS, the subscriber will receive an incoming message from service number 6996 with further instructions to confirm the sending of money.

Please note that this method of transferring money is currently free - the operator’s commission will be 0% of the amount of funds transferred (0 rubles is fixed).

If you need, say, to replenish your child’s account every month, but you don’t want to do this using a breakdown of payments, then you can set up a service for automatically replenishing a subscriber’s account at a specified frequency. : by activating it, you will set the system to periodically debit money from your account and transfer it to another subscriber.

Let's look at it with an example.

1. You need to top up your child/spouse/parent number –89326734232 – every month by 500 rubles.
2. To do this, you need to send a USSD request of the following type: *114*subscriber number*frequency code*amount#, and then press the call key. Frequency codes are numbered 1, 2 or 3 - respectively every day, week or month.
3. You send a request: *114*89326734232*3*500#.
4. You will receive a connection confirmation code in an SMS message, for example: 717.
5. You need to send another USSD request: *112*code#.
6. In our example, confirmation will be carried out by sending a request: *112*717#.

That's it, the service is connected. Based on this example, in a couple of minutes you can set up automatic replenishment of the number of another MTS subscriber from your account.
