How to check Internet traffic on MTS: step-by-step instruction

For subscribers who do not have unlimited tariff plans, the question of how to check Internet traffic is always relevant. On the MTS, you can do this in several ways, regardless of whether it is used on a smartphone, modem, or tablet. It is recommended to monitor the status of traffic on a regular basis: this will allow not to remain without the Internet at the most inopportune moment and to avoid automatic connection of options with additional traffic volume (especially this is relevant for tariffs in the Smart line). How can I control the amount of remaining megabytes on MTS on different devices, we'll cover in this article.

How to check Internet traffic on MTS from mobile devices

To see information about how many megabytes have been spent, it is possible and through the standard functionality of the mobile device. This possibility is present in all modern gadgets. However, due to the difference in the algorithms for counting the traffic of the cellular operator and devices, the data obtained may differ from those values that the provider receives. Thus, you can view statistics through the phone exclusively for personal purposes, you can not check the remaining Internet traffic of MTS in this way. How to be? The mobile operator offers several options for monitoring the remaining megabytes by the main tariff plan and additional options that can be activated on the number. Let us consider each of them in detail.

All the ways

Check traffic via SMS message. In order to get information on the remaining megabytes, it is enough to send a test request with a question mark to the number 5340. The sending of the message is not billed. In response, a message will arrive with information about how much traffic remains on the subscriber on the number. You can check data in this way unlimited times.

Obtain information on traffic through USSD-request. Since a certain amount of megabytes can be provided in the tariff plans, a number of packages are available for connection, then there are several commands for obtaining data on the balances. Let's bring them all.

• To check how much Internet traffic MTS has left, on the tariff plans "Smart" (which is included in the subscription fee) can be through a query like: * 100 * 1 #;
• After the activation of additional packages (for the Smart line after exhausting the limit on traffic included in the TP), you can check the rest of megabytes using the command: * 111 * 217 #;
• For other options that are also connected separately to any MTS tariff (for example, Bit, Maxi Internet, SuperBit, etc.), the request * 217 # is used.

Check on the tablet

How to check Internet traffic on MTS via a tablet? Their owners are somewhat more difficult, since not all models have the ability to enter USSD-requests. For them, only monitoring of traffic via the Internet (the "Personal account" of the user) is available. How it can be done - will be described below.

If the ability to enter USSD commands is present, remember the combinations of queries that can be useful for checking the remainder.

• For tariff plans of the Smart line, you can check the traffic included in the TP by typing the combination * 100 * 1 # (the same query is used for smartphones).
• For packages that were activated after the main volume of megabytes has been exhausted by the Smart line's TP, the * 111 * 217 # command is available.
• The remainder for other packages, connected to any tariff plan of MTS, is checked through the request * 217 #.

Checking traffic through a modem

The principle of monitoring the remaining megabytes according to the tariff plan or additional Internet options is similar to the previously considered options. The only difference is that instead of the screen of your phone or tablet PC, you use a laptop or computer monitor. For modems MTS provides a program that is installed on the computer and contains tools for management. In particular, the form of input of USSD-request for checking traffic. Since more often for modems using the TP "MTS Connect", then check the rest of megabytes on it by entering the combination * 217 #. If the device model does not have an interface for entering commands, you must act through the "Personal Cabinet".

Getting information about traffic via the Internet

In case the subscriber is inconvenient to use the previously described variants in order to view data on the megabyte remains, you can use "My Account". How to check the remaining traffic on MTS on the Internet? This method of obtaining data is also quite simple, but it is not always possible to use it, because the included megabyte volume can be used up and it will be impossible to establish a connection to the Internet. To go to "My Kaspersky Account", you should go to the official website of the MTS operator and select the appropriate menu item. Here in the section "Account status" (which can be selected on the left side of the screen), there is a subsection "Remaining packages".

Subscribers interested in how to check Internet traffic on "MTS Smart", this option is also suitable. This will display data not only for megabytes that are included in the tariff plan, but also for additional options for the Internet. Pay attention: in the "Personal account" there is a possibility to activate Internet options absolutely for all tariff plans. Connection is carried out in an online mode (if there is money on the subscriber's account, necessary for connection).

Conclusion

How to check Internet traffic on MTS, if it is not possible to use USSD-requests and get online? For such a case, there remains a spare option - a call to the contact center of the operator company. The specialist will consult on this issue, having previously identified the owner of the number (if the call is not made from the SIM card in question). Through the service of the customer service, you can also connect additional options that add the amount of traffic, if you can not do it yourself.
