Money ran out on the MTS. Payment via bank card: how to make a payment?

Sometimes it happens that one can not keep track of the balance of the mobile phone. Few people will constantly check it, and many operators have a warning service about approaching zero. An exception was not the MTS. Payment through a bank card is the fastest and most convenient way to prevent yourself from going into a "minus". But how to do that? Let's analyze several ways, choose which one is right for you.

If you have already decided that you want to replenish the MTS via a bank card, it remains to be seen which of the ways will suit you more. It all depends on whether your card is connected to the phone number, whether Mobile Bank is connected.

In addition, there may be a need to replenish not only your own balance, but also the expense of a friend or family member. Or your phone has sat down and there is access only to the computer, and in this case you can pay MTS through a bank card.

The card is tied to the phone to be refilled

For MTS, payment via bank card via SMS to short number 900 is the best option. It will suit you in case you want to replenish your number with your own card.

The service "Mobile Bank" can be connected any. There are two types. Both tariffs ("Economical" and "Full") allow you to make replenishment of MTS through a bank card.

To do this, you need to go to the SMS menu and send a message to 900 indicating the amount you want to put on the balance. For example, if you want to refill your phone for 300 rubles, send SMS with 300. Without additional words and symbols.

In response, you will be notified of the charge. The second SMS will be from your operator that the balance has been replenished. You do not need to confirm the payment, you will not need to enter the code. Therefore, it is very important to be careful when sending such a message. Look, do not make a mistake in writing. And then there is the likelihood that you will replenish the balance at all by the amount you thought about.

Refill the phone of a friend or relative

If you have activated the service "Mobile Bank", and you need to replenish another MTS phone, payment via a bank card is also possible. Only in this case SMS will need to be sent to the bank, it will be longer. So, the first step - as in the previous case - is opening SMS from the bank (from number 900) or simply creating a new SMS for the bank. In the text of the message we write without signs and with any letter - Payment. Next, put a space and dial the phone number to which we want to put money. It should be entered without a figure eight.

After the number again put a blank and write the amount that we want to translate. Eventually SMS becomes such - Payment 9001234567 300. We do not put a dot at the end of the message.

Increased protection

In the event that you want to replenish the balance of your phone, the bank is obliged to check whether you really want to replenish another's balance. There are cases when such SMS was sent by accident or by phone the child was indulging. Little things could happen.

In any case, in response to an attempt to replenish someone else's account with your card, you will receive a message from the bank. It will contain a secret code - six digits. They should be sent in the reply message. No additional punctuation and spaces.

This is very convenient, because it excludes the possibility of erroneous translation, in addition, you will be able to recheck the recipient's number and amount. After sending the code, you will receive a message about debiting the funds from the card.

If "Mobile Bank" is not connected to the card

In this case, you will come to the aid of the MTS website. Payment through a bank card will take a little longer than SMS, but this option is the only one if you do not have a Mobile Bank connected to the card with which you are going to pay. We go to the site mts.ru, on the right side of the screen we see the section "Often required". In the list of references we find "Top up account" and choose the item "Payment from the bank card of MTS number".

In the form that appears, enter the phone number (note that +7 already stands and the number should consist of 10 digits.) In the second field we write the amount of the replenishment, press the "Next" button.

All the information for the "Card number", "Validity period" and "Name", "Last name" fields can be found on the front side of the card. Carefully rewrite everything in the right frame. The CVV2 / CVC2 code is three digits on the back of your card. This is not the PIN that you enter in the ATM, it's a security code for purchases and payments on the Internet.

Fill in the "Email" field, proceed to the next page. You just need to enter the security code that will come to you on the phone within a minute. Some cards can pay without a security code, but this is rare.

Information Security

Before you replenish the balance of the phone through the operator's website, make sure that you are on the official website. Often fraudsters forge pages on the Internet, using typos when typing an address.

And on the payment page, when you enter the card number and other information, the green line should be drawn in the address bar before http - this indicates that the site is secure.

If you are worried about your data and the safety of money on the card, set up a special card for Internet payments. You will put on it exactly as much money as you want to spend. And you will be available not only to quietly replenish the balance of the phone, but also the convenience of online shopping.
