Megafon has several ways to check your phone balance:
- via USSD request;
- via the Internet;
- by activating the “Live Balance” service;
- using the voice menu;
- via SMS request;
- by telephone with an operator.
We check using USSD requests
A USSD request (or command) is a set of characters and numbers that you need to type on your phone and press the call button.
- In order to check your account, enter the USSD request: *100# and press the “pick up the phone” button. Alternative combinations of characters: *101# and call or *105# call button.
- You can check the discounts provided by the operator for minutes, messages and the Internet using the combination: *100*1# and pressing the call button.
- The combination *100*2# and the call button will help you check the status of your bonus balance.
If your phone does not support the ability to send/receive USSD messages in Cyrillic, use alternative request options:
- *100*0# - account balance;
- *100*3# - information on the tariff plan and connected options;
- *100*4# - bonus balances.
Checking your balance on an iPad or any Android tablet
To check your account, you no longer need to take out the SIM card and insert it into your phone. Activate the service menu, go to “Settings”, “Cellular data” tab, “SIM-programs”, select “My Megafon”, “Main balance”. By clicking on the “balance” button, you will receive a notification about the funds in your account, and you will also be able to view your phone number. If you use an iPad, then in addition to this option, you can install the Mobile Balance program from the App Store.
Checking via the Internet
You can check your balance on Megafon through your personal account (sg.megafon.ru), where you can manage your tariff plan, disable or connect services, and also see the balance on your personal account. Using this account is completely free.
We use the “Live Balance” service
This Megafon service will allow you to always be aware of the status of your account. For 30 rubles per month, the balance of funds will be displayed in real time on the phone screen. You should look for balance at the top, under the clock. The first two weeks of using this service are free.
Find out the balance through the voice menu
Please note that the service is available only to subscribers located within the coverage area of the Megafon-Far East operator network.
Checking your account via SMS
You can also check your account via SMS. Send an SMS to one of the operator’s service numbers, and in response you will receive a message with up-to-date information about your balance.
Service numbers:
- 000888;
- 000100.
These requests do not apply when roaming; use USSD requests to check your balance.
Find out someone else's balance
In addition to checking your personal account, Megafon provides the opportunity to view the balance of another subscriber by connecting to the “Alien Balance” service. Connect and check with the USSD command *226*subscriber_number#. You must put 7 or 8 in front of the subscriber number.
And finally, the lazy way - just call the operator at “0500” with a question about the status of your balance.
Today's mobile Internet is very different from what it was just a few years ago. Now the connection speed of a 4G modem can reach up to 1Gb/s for a fixed subscriber, and even many wired Internet providers cannot provide such a speed. That is why more and more people prefer to buy modems from operators with SIM cards that use tariffs for accessing the Internet.
To use a 4G modem, you do not need any skills in setting up a computer; many operators also “give” modems when you connect and pay for several months of Internet. All you need is to choose a tariff with a modem and connect to it, and then top up the balance on your SIM card account on time every month. Let us also recall that the Megafon-modem is purchased by default with the “Megafon-Online” tariff installed in it. If it doesn't suit you, then don't forget which one suits you best.
The procedure for connecting and using a modem is simple, but many subscribers do not know how to check the balance on a Megafon modem account, but this is not difficult enough and we will tell you all the possible ways.
Check your modem balance through your Personal Account
The easiest and most accessible way, especially for Internet users, is from Megafon via a modem. With it you can do the same. To find out your balance, simply visit the official website megafon.ru and go to your “Personal Account”, where you will see information about your phone number and the remaining balance in your account.
You need to access the site through an Internet connection using an Internet modem on which you want to check the balance.
You can find out the Megafon modem balance via SMS
The program that comes with a 4G or 3G modem allows you to send SMS messages. You can use this function to check the money in your account. Insert the modem into the computer, open the program and go to the messages section by clicking on the “Text” icon. Click on the “New message” icon in the window that appears, in the field for the phone number dial 000100. And in the message text field, write B (Russian) or B (English), then click the send button. In response, you will receive a message with the amount of money remaining in your account.
In order not to forget the phone number to which you need to send SMS, the program has a function that allows you to save the message in drafts. Save the SMS message and next time you won’t have to look for the information again to find out your balance.
To fully use all the capabilities of mobile communications, you must regularly top up your personal account. If this is not done, the subscriber will not be able to make calls, send SMS messages, use the Internet, etc. In order not to miss the time of making a payment, a service has been created, using which you can quickly check your Megafon balance.
Many mobile operators, of course, have provided a number of opportunities for their customers to always stay in touch. For example, these could be the services: “call back at the expense of another subscriber” or “trust payment”. You can also ask friends to transfer money. But the choice of options, in fact, is not that great and they are not always relevant. It is for this reason that it is important to monitor any changes in the account so that a negative balance does not take you by surprise. Below we will look in detail at how to check the balance on Megafon.

We looked at the most popular ways to check the balance of your Megafon account, using which you will always be in touch with family and friends
Cellular subscribers, which are all people today, are systematically interested in certain issues directly related to the services they use. And some of the answers to such questions seem extremely simple and obvious, but at the same time they are not so easy to find.
For example, one of these is the question of how to check MegaFon balance from your phone. This is what we will pay attention to in our article today, because there are several options for obtaining up-to-date information about the balance, but most subscribers do not know even one of them.
Using USSD request
One of the simplest and most obvious ways to check the Balance on a MegaFon phone is a short number entered on the physical or on-screen keyboard of the device. It looks like this: *100# .
After entering this combination of numbers and symbols, as well as pressing the call key, within a few seconds information with the current account status will be displayed on the gadget screen.
The service is offered free of charge and without restrictions on the number of uses per day or per month.
How to check balance on MegaFon via SMS
Many subscribers are also systematically interested in the possibility of receiving up-to-date information about their account status via SMS. Unfortunately, the operator did not implement such an opportunity. However, via SMS you can request a password to access your personal account, where, by the way, among other things, there is also the ability to view your balance.
By typing a request on your phone in the format *105*00# , and by pressing the call button, within a few minutes the access code will be sent to your personal account in the message. By logging into your personal account using this code, you will be able to see your current account balance on the main page.
How to check the balance on a MegaFon tablet
If you use a SIM card installed in the tablet, all of the above methods for obtaining information about your account status remain relevant for you. In addition, you can view your balance on the operator’s official website if you access it directly from a tablet connected to MegaFon’s mobile Internet (and not to Wi-Fi).
How to check the balance on a MegaFon modem
Mobile Internet subscribers using modem devices and routers are not able to check their account balance using standard combinations. However, the method using the megafon.ru website remains relevant for them, as well as a personal account directly, which can be accessed by connecting via a modem even without entering a password.
How to check the balance of another MegaFon subscriber
The last issue we planned to pay attention to is the ability to check the account balance of another subscriber. Of course, it is impossible to simply see at any time how much money is in the account of any client. However, there is such a service as “Balance of loved ones”, thanks to which you can check the accounts of relatives and friends. It is noteworthy that it is provided free of charge, and if desired, every subscriber can connect it with the exception of business clients.
In order to be able to check the account of any other MegaFon client, you must first enter the combination on that client’s phone in advance *438*1*PHONE NUMBER#, where instead of “PHONE NUMBER” the contact number of the “guardian” is entered, who will be allowed to check the account of the “ward”.
By connecting your number, in the future you will be able to check your client’s account by typing a USSD request in the format *100*WARD PHONE NUMBER#. The number of the “ward” is indicated without using the “eight”.
Subscriber tracking of account status is mandatory for regular access to communication opportunities. Users have several options available to check their balance on Megafon for timely replenishment. Although the provider's customers can get out of a situation of insufficient funds by sending a request requesting a top-up with another subscriber, a promised payment or a beg, it is better to stay in touch with its full functionality.
Note! A universal command that allows you to obtain current data about the user’s balance is *100#.
Regular balance control allows the subscriber to analyze the account for the presence of unnecessary subscriptions that write off funds, not to go into the red, and to know when to top up the phone account.
