For subscribers who do not have unlimited tariffplans, the question of how to check Internet traffic is always topical. 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.
View information about how manymegabyte was spent, you can and through the standard functionality of the mobile device. This feature 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.
Check traffic via SMS message. In order to obtain information on the remainingmegabytes, it is enough to send a test request with a question mark to the number 5340. Sending a message is not charged. In response, you will receive a message with information about how much traffic the subscriber has left on the number. You can check the data in this way an unlimited number of times.
Receive traffic information via USSD request. Since a certain amount of megabytes can be provided in the tariff plans, a number of packages are available for connection, there are several commands to receive data on the residuals. We give them all.
How to check Internet traffic on MTS throughthe tablet? Their owners have a little more complicated, since not all models have the ability to enter USSD requests. For them, only the monitoring of traffic via the Internet is available (the user's "Personal Account"). How this can be done will be explained below.
If the ability to enter USSD commands is present, you should remember combinations of queries that may be useful for checking the balance.
The principle of controlling the remaining megabytes at the tariffThe plan or additional Internet options are similar to the previously discussed options. The only difference is that instead of the screen of the phone or tablet PC a laptop or computer monitor is used. For MTS modems, a program is provided that is installed on a computer and contains management tools. In particular, the form for entering a USSD request for checking traffic. Since the MTS Connect TP is used more often for modems, you can check the remainder of megabytes by typing * 217 #. If the device model does not have an interface for entering commands, you must act through the "Personal Account".
In case the subscriber is inconvenient to usepreviously described options in order to view data on the remaining megabytes, you can use the "Personal Account". How to check traffic balances on MTS on the Internet? This method of obtaining data is also quite simple, but it is not always possible to use it, since the included volume of megabytes can be consumed and it will be impossible to establish an Internet connection. To go to the "My Account", go to the official website of the MTS operator and select the appropriate menu item. Here in the section “Account balance” (which can be selected on the left side of the screen) there is a subsection “Balance of Packages”

This will display data not only on megabytes, which are included in the tariff plan, but also on additional options for the Internet.

Connection is carried out in the online mode (if there are funds on the subscriber’s account necessary for connection).
How to check Internet traffic on the MTS, if notCan I use USSD requests and access the Internet? For such a case, a backup option remains - a call to the contact center of the operating company. The specialist will advise on this issue, having previously identified the owner of the number (if the call is made not from the SIM card in question). Through the client service, you can also connect additional options that add the amount of traffic, if it is also impossible to do it yourself.
