How to withdraw money from the phone
Not all mobile phone users know that the balance on their SIM card can be used as a full-fledged source of funds. Today we will talk about how to withdraw money from the phone in different ways.
We will consider the main Russian operators. Other companies that provide communication services have similar functions. You can familiarize yourself with them on the official website of the operator whose client you are.
MTS
MTS has the widest choice of options for withdrawing money. You can transfer funds through the official website without authorization, through your personal account or mobile application, through the MTS Money electronic wallet.
The options with the official website and personal account differ only in that in the first case you will have to manually enter the data, and in the second option the numbers are already saved in the profile. So, the first step is to transfer money to a bank card or electronic wallet, from which you can later cash out at an ATM:
- Open the link to the site and go to the "Transfers and payments" section.
- Select the options "To card" and "From phone account".
- Now enter the mobile number from which the funds will be withdrawn.
- Then enter the card details and the amount to transfer.
- Click on the "Pay" button.
Please note that a transfer fee is charged. All mobile operators have it, so read the terms and conditions carefully before making a payment.
If your number is linked to the MTS Money system, then you can transfer funds through a mobile application, as well as get a plastic card. With it, you can cash out money that was previously on the balance of the SIM card.
Tele 2
The Tele2 mobile operator allows customers to transfer money from a phone account to bank cards using the official website. For this you need:
- Open the company's website.
- Scroll the page to the block "Top up or transfer".
- Select the option "Transfer from phone to card".
- Fill out the form with the phone number, bank card and transfer amount.
- Press the "Pay" button and confirm the operation.

Conclusion
As you can see, it will not be possible to cash out the balance of the phone without intermediate procedures. Therefore, this operation is extremely unprofitable. The client transfers funds to a bank card with a commission, which is why he receives a smaller amount in cash. We recommend that you use this method only when absolutely necessary.
