When there is a need to keep track of your finances, you should activate the “Balance under control” option of MTS. This will allow you not only to manage money economically, but also to look at where and in what direction it is spent in excess. Now the user will not need to spend a lot of time checking all the data, and notifications for all expenses will be sent instantly to their mobile phone.
Description of the service Balance under MTS control
To obtain information about how much money was spent on the last communication, you need to have information about the state of your personal account balance. But it will be problematic to carry out these calculations on your own, since it takes a sufficient amount of time. To get rid of calculations, use the “Balance under control” service.
As soon as the last voice call is made, data regarding the amount of charges will be received. They will be shown on the screen of the device you are using. But we must remember that this information is not saved in the phone’s memory, but is a kind of notification and disappears almost instantly. The information provided will not work if the user uses communication services such as:
- Multimedia and text messages have been sent.
- Access to Internet resources was provided.
- Certain options and services were implemented.
- Video calls were made.
It is especially important to use control of the financial component of the balance if the subscriber is in international roaming. There, more than anywhere else, you should control your finances on your personal account.
How the service works
The work process has already been mentioned. As soon as an outgoing call has been made and the end call button is pressed, the cost amount is immediately displayed. If you want to control in this way, the information should be written down. This is due to the fact that the information will not be saved anywhere. In this case, all expenses will be displayed only after communication with another user has ceased.
As for being outside Russia, all information will be sent to your phone in the same way using the “Balance under control” option. But there is a certain category of states where online roaming does not work. In this case, information will arrive with some delay. You can obtain information regarding the specified list of powers on the official website of the mobile operator. The best option is to go to the MTS section of the “Balance under Control” service.
“Balance under control” is considered a paid option, since it requires mandatory debiting of funds from a personal account of a set amount during use after activation. The daily fee is 10 kopecks, that is, approximately three rubles per month, depending on the number of calendar days in a month. The tariff offer available on the subscriber number will not play any role, since the amount remains the same, and the option works in the same way.
If for some options and tariffs there is a difference in cost characteristics depending on the region of residence, then here the prices remain identical.
Balance control can be used on almost any tariff offer from the provider. This applies, for example, to “Red”, “Super Jeans” or “Regional”. But it is best to first find out all the information from the operator itself regarding the compatibility of the service with a specific tariff plan. This will allow you to avoid some difficulties in the process of servicing it.
Connecting the service
Anyone interested in this option should think about how to activate it on their phone. The main and most popular ones include:
- USSD command. To do this, enter the combination *152*3# on the keyboard of your gadget. Don't forget to press the call button.
- Make a call to a technical support specialist at 0890. Initially, an answering machine will be included in the conversation, which will begin to talk about the available menu items. This is where you need to find the “Connection with an operator” section by pressing the corresponding button on the keyboard. The specified number is provided exclusively for subscribers of the MTS cellular communication company. If you call from a landline phone number or from another provider, you will need to dial 8 800 250 0890.
- Contact the provider's office with your passport to confirm your identity. Addresses of cell phone stores can be viewed on the official resource in the corresponding section. If possible, an interactive map opens where they are all displayed. The website also provides information on contacts, opening hours, and exact location.
- Implement all the functionality of the user’s personal account on the official page of the mobile operator. In it, you first need to go through the registration procedure, where you enter a contact phone number, and also register a password received as a code in a text message. Next, all you have to do is select the “Tariffs and Services” section, where from the list presented you will only have to select the desired item with the option. After this, you just need to click the “Connect” button and enjoy all the benefits of the “Balance under Control” function.
- The “My MTS” mobile application has almost the same functionality.
All of these options can be used to connect a “balance under control” to your subscriber number. The subscriber must independently choose the most suitable method. Some of the options are used for independent operations with the function, while others are intended to implement opportunities on the part of representatives of the cellular communication company.
You just need to pay attention to the point that since July 27, 2017, the option cannot be enabled on the phone, as it has been moved to the archive. At the moment, it only works for those users who have previously used it.
Disabling the service
The above methods are also used to get rid of the option. After all, it is enough to contact a representative of the mobile operator and inform him of your desire to disable the “balance under control”. In this case, you will definitely need to dictate your passport details. After all, all manipulations with the number can be performed exclusively by the owner of the SIM card, in whose name the contract for the provision of communication services has been concluded.
As for the USSD command, after typing *152*3# on the keyboard, a special menu will be displayed on the gadget’s screen, where the main points about the service will be presented, which are worth paying attention to. That is, no difficulties will arise in the process itself, even for novice users who have picked up a phone for the first time or have only recently entered into an agreement with providers for the provision of communication services, having received a SIM card with a specific tariff offer.
After disabling the option on the number, you should wait for the corresponding text message indicating that the deactivation operation was completed successfully. This will guarantee that no more funds will be debited from your personal account balance. But you will no longer receive messages on the device screen regarding costs for calls made.
MTS created the “Balance under Control” service specifically for those users who want to constantly control the spending of funds from their mobile account. Previously, MTS subscribers could use this option for free; later, such balance control became paid and available on all operator tariff plans.
Such information was especially convenient for those who were in roaming, since the cost of calls there is quite expensive. The service operated both in intranet roaming throughout the entire territory of the state, and in the countries where it operates - this is about 140 more countries around the world.
You had to specifically connect the service to your phone. After it began to operate, Mobile Telesystems, after the end of each paid call, sent an instant notification about its cost and the balance in the account. The notification appeared as an on-screen information message, but could not be saved, disappearing immediately after viewing and closing it.
Notifications came only after using voice call services.
Attention! In some countries, information within the service may be delayed.
Exceptions
Almost all other paid actions on the phone were excluded from the expense notification service. After using the services:
- Sending SMS messages,
- Sending MMS messages,
- Informing about charges for using one-time operator services. For example, changing the tariff plan and charging for connecting options and package services,
- Using video calls,
- Internet traffic consumption
Information messages within the framework of providing the “Balance under control” option are not sent to the subscriber’s mobile phone.
Service cost
In its final version, the “Balance under Control” service from MTS was provided to subscribers for a fee. Its cost was 10 kopecks per day. Debits from the account occurred daily. The connection itself was free. That is, the monthly subscription fee for this service was only 3 rubles.
The cost of the service was the same for users in all regions of the Russian Federation, regardless of the user’s connection area and his current tariff plan.
