Sometimes situations arise when you need to make an important call, but there are not enough funds for this and there is no time to pay. Many companies that provide cellular communications, in this case, offer to use a service that makes it possible to temporarily top up your balance with credit.

You can find out the exact amount as follows:

  1. If the monthly expense is less than 300 rubles, then the client will be given 200 rubles.
  2. For expenses up to 500 rubles, the loan size increases to 400 rubles.
  3. If the monthly payment for communications exceeds the threshold of 500 rubles, then the subscriber is able to take out a maximum loan amount of 800 rubles.

Activation methods

To activate the promised payment, the client can resort to several methods:

  • USSD;
  • sending SMS;
  • Internet;
  • call to the operator.

However, there is some possibility that the message will not arrive on your phone. In this case, you need to wait a few minutes and try again. Having a personal account allows clients not only to use additional services, but also to customize the tariff, as well as participate in reward programs. You can also access your personal account on a mobile device through the assistant.

In order to activate the promised MTS payment in your personal account, you must:

  • visit the “Payment” section;
  • select the “Promised payment” option;
  • press the connect key.

You can also connect via a mobile device in the same way. To do this, you will have to install an application called “My MTS”, available for the most common operating systems:

  • select “Account”;
  • go to the section of the service you are interested in and click on “Use”;
  • indicate the required amount and activate the service.

When activating the service, the specified amount is sent only once. Only funds are debited automatically upon replenishment to pay off the debt.

Personal account - auto payment

The service itself does not provide automatic replenishment. However, MTS offers its clients other options that allow them to top up their accounts without human intervention. The most convenient among them is “Autopayment”. Within the framework of this service, two amounts are established:

  • threshold;
  • for replenishment.

As soon as the funds in the account approach the threshold value, money will be automatically credited to the top-up amount.

It is also possible to link auto payment to a specific number. In this case, the debit will be made monthly, on the day specified in the settings. To activate the option, you must have a bank card.
