The mobile operator Megafon has many services and various commands related to the balance, but the main one is checking the balance. After all, it is this service that allows you to control the balance of funds in your account in order to always be in touch thanks to timely replenishment of your account. You can check your balance on Megafon using special commands and SMS messages, as well as using a number of services that allow you not only to track your account balances, but also to view the balances in packages, check your tariff, activate options and much more.
All ways to check the balance on a Megafon number
There are seven ways you can view your balance:
- Entering USSD command,
- Sending an SMS request,
- Checking in your Personal Account,
- Checking in the application for mobile devices,
- Using the SIM menu
- Call to the service center,
- Contact the company's showroom.
Regardless of the method chosen, there is no fee for such verification. There are also no restrictions on the number of checks per day.
Entering USSD command
To check your balance on your Megafon number, dial a simple USSD combination on your phone: * 100 #. By sending the command, the screen will display the amount of available funds at the time of verification, as well as the amount of funds due on the account, that is, the debt.
There is another important command, sending which you will receive an SMS message on your phone with a list of useful USSD combinations that may be useful to you: * 105 * 693 #. The message will contain combinations that allow you to check your balance, manage your number, activate some services, such as “ ”, “Call me”, “Pay for me” and more. All these services are somehow related to your account. Therefore, they can be useful, especially if you are left without funds in your account and you do not have the opportunity to replenish it.
Sending an SMS request
If it is more convenient for you to check your balance via SMS message, then send the text “Balance” or any other word on your phone to the Megafon service number 000100. In response, you will receive a message with the number of account balances, as well as the number of bonus points, if any are activated on your number. You can also send a blank message. Sending such an SMS in your home region is free, and in roaming it is paid in accordance with the prices for roaming services.
However, this method has its drawback - if you have activated the “Pay when convenient” service, then in the message you will be able to see not the actual balance or debt, but the balance of funds taking into account service charges. This situation may confuse you, because you may think that the amount indicated in the message remains in the account, however, this is a kind of borrowed funds.
To avoid such confusion, use another SMS request - send a message with the text “Balance” to number 0500. Within a minute you will receive a response message containing your real balance, as well as a separately specified credit limit if the “Pay when convenient” service is activated. If this service is not activated, then you will simply see the account balance.
Checking in your Personal Account
This verification method requires an Internet connection. Using this method, you can check the balance on both regular and corporate Megafon numbers, as well as view the activated tariff, see all connected options, configure various services, disable unnecessary functions and much more.
Step-by-step instructions for checking your account through your Personal Account (PA):
- Go to the official website of Megafon.
- In the upper right corner, click on the “Personal Account” button.
- On the new page, enter your phone number and access code to your account in the “Password” field. If you do not remember the access code, then reset the old one and receive a new code via SMS by sending the combination from your phone: * 105 * 00 #. In the “Password” field, enter the new access code for your account.
- Once on the main page of the personal account, in the left column in large letters there will be a section called “Account”. Under this name, the amount of funds available today, the number of bonus points (if bonuses are activated) and a telephone number are displayed.
Attention! If the “Pay when convenient” service is activated, the amount of credit funds will be displayed in the “Available for today” section. If you click on the down arrow located to the right of the indicated number, the amount of real funds that are in the account or that you owe will open.
Verification in the application for mobile devices
If you have access to the network, then via the Internet you can find out the balance not only in your Personal Account, but also in the Megafon Personal Account mobile application, where you need to enter a phone number as a login and also specify an access code. The code in the application can be used the same as for your Personal Account. If you do not remember the access code, then, as in the previous option, use the USSD command: * 105 * 00 #. A message will be sent to your phone with a new code, which is suitable for both the personal account and the application.
If the application is not yet installed on your phone, then download it from the Google Play application store if your phone runs on Android or the App Store if your phone runs on iOS. In the application store, find a search engine and enter “Megafon Personal Account”. Download the official application (the first one in the search results) and wait for it to install. Next, open the application, enter the phone number and use the access code that you previously used for your personal account. When you first log into your Personal Account, the application will ask you to create and enter a four-digit PIN code.
After logging in, on the start page of the application, the first thing you will see is the balance available for today. Below will be the remaining points (if bonuses are activated) and the phone number.
Using the SIM menu
Using a SIM portal is an alternative method that allows you to find out the balance on a Megafon SIM card, although it is less convenient compared to sending a standard USSD code intended for this role. The SIM portal allows you not only to check your balance, but also to perform many other actions.
To open the MegafonPro SIM portal, dial the combination on your phone: * 105 #. A window will appear on the screen with the following sections:
- “1 – My office”,
- “2 – Services/Options”,
- “3 – Tariffs”,
- “4 – Internet”,
- “5 – At 0”,
- “6 – Memo.”
Click on the word “Reply” and enter the number “1” corresponding to the “My Account” section. The following sections will then appear:
- “1 – Balance”,
- “2 – Remaining minutes/SMS/MB”,
- “3 – Services”,
- “4 – Expenses”,
- “5 – Numbers.”
Click on the word “Answer” and enter the number “1” corresponding to the “Balance” section. The screen will display the account balance available at the time of verification.
Call the service center
Dial 0500 on your mobile phone. A virtual assistant will answer the call. Following his prompts, select the appropriate numbers and check your balance using the auto-informer or switch to a specialist who will announce your balance.
In order not to waste time on the virtual assistant’s prompts and immediately switch to a specialist, dial the number 8 800 550 05 00. The call is free for Megafon subscribers. For calls from numbers of other mobile operators and from landline phones, payment is made in accordance with the established tariff plan.
Contacting the Megafon company store
If none of the above verification options suits you, then contact your nearest Megafon mobile phone store. Employees will not only tell you your balance, but will also help you resolve any issue related to service in the company. Here you can request details, connect a service or, conversely, disable it, and much more. Employees will also show you how you can independently check the funds in your account.

Within one day, it is allowed to perform no more than ten such procedures from one phone number.

But outside the registration region, the provider does not guarantee the correct operation of the service.
Attention! Some brands and models of cell phones do not support sending passcodes.
If, after entering a sequence of numbers, the smartphone display displays statistics in an unknown and unreadable text format, then it makes sense to change the locale standard. To do this, use the code *105*0#.
In addition, the provider has created a number of additional commands for clarifying the balance on the tablet and on the phone:
- *105#. The code allows remote access to all the characteristics of the tariff plan.

- The user whose information you want to check must add you to their contact list. You must enter the command *438*1*your phone number #.
- After this, you can find out information about the other subscriber by typing the code *100*user number #.
To control the option, add or remove close consumers, dial *438#. It is managed by the subscriber who consents to the verification of his personal data.
Attention! The list of close contacts can only contain three mobile numbers. The offer does not require a connection and is available to all Megafon network clients.
If after entering the USSD command nothing appears on the screen, then perhaps the system is currently overloaded, or technical or repair work is underway on the line. Try repeating the request after some time or select a different verification method.
