Balance transfer by Welcome. Factors independent of the A1 network. Can I answer calls while my phone is being used for data?

Many mobile operators provide a service that allows subscribers to transfer money to each other from their phone accounts. Relatively recently, it became possible to transfer money from one Velcom account to another. This article will discuss methods by using which you don’t have to worry that the money sent will not reach the desired recipient.

How to make a translation: two ways

Not so long ago, it was possible to transfer money between the balances of numbers serviced by the Welk operator only when visiting the company’s office. Today, this method also works, and in order to use it, you need to come to the office with a passport and details for the transfer.

However, there is a very easy option - transfer money through the phone after connecting the phone to the iPay service.

Important! This method is suitable for those who want to perform all operations remotely using SMS messages. The main condition is that the balance of the sender’s phone must be topped up with an amount sufficient to complete the transfer.

Registering and linking your phone in iPay

A resident of Belarus who is a Velcom subscriber can connect to the iPay service to transfer funds to other numbers.

The connection is made as follows:

1. You need to send an SMS message to number 5533 (its content does not matter).
2. The system will send a one-time code to the phone, using which the user can log in to the iPay.by website. Also, the subscriber's telephone number must be entered into the authorization form.
3. Registration in the system is automatic, and all further logins require entering a new password sent via SMS.

After this, you can transfer funds between Velcom numbers. It doesn’t even require authorization on the site - transfers are made by sending SMS. The main thing is the correct content of these messages.

Transfer by phone: sending SMS

It is possible to send money to a Welkom phone number in Belarus by sending a message to service number 533. For this, the following format is used: service code*phone number*size of the item.

The first parameter in all cases is 101, and it is indicated unchanged. The second is the recipient's phone number. The size of the transfer is written by the sender independently. Spaces are preserved when entering data.

Transfer conditions and commission

The service is not provided free of charge - a commission fee of 3.5% of the entire transfer is charged. The commission is additionally debited from the sender's phone account. Sending a message also requires a fee, and here you need to find out the cost at your own rate.

The operation will be completed successfully if the amount of at least 0.1 Belarusian rubles remains on the phone. It is impossible to receive services with a zero balance.

Possible problems and their solutions

By strictly following the step-by-step instructions, it is unlikely that you will encounter any problems when transferring money from Welkom to Welkom in Belarus.

The main thing is to correctly enter all the necessary details so that the funds go where they should.

If absolutely all actions were completed correctly, but the money was not transferred via phone, it is possible that the sender’s balance simply does not have the required amount. You should always take into account the fee charged for the service provided and the cost of sending the message. If there is a shortage of funds, there are two options: replenish the balance or transfer a smaller amount. In this case, the procedure should complete successfully.
