How to transfer money from phone to phone
There are many ways to transfer funds from the balance of one mobile device to another. You can send money both via the Internet and by classic methods via SMS or using commands. Today we will talk about how to transfer money from phone to phone.
SMS transfer
The oldest and classic method via SMS is good because it is suitable for absolutely any device. If you can access the Internet for translation only from smartphones, then you can send a message from any push-button phone.
For example, to send money from your SIM card balance to another Beeline subscriber, you need to compose a message according to the following scheme:
Enter the desired combinations without asterisks, separated by a space, and enter the number 7878 in the field with the recipient's data.
Transfer for subscribers of the mobile operator MTS is carried out according to a different scheme. If you want to send money to a client of the same company, then the subscriber will act as the recipient of the message. And in the field for entering the text itself, you must specify #Transfer and the amount:
This is how the text of the message looks if you want to send 200 rubles to MTS. Megafon customers can use the option to send money via SMS in a similar way.
Despite the fact that the subscriber is the recipient, he will not receive your message. Instead, he will have to be notified that money has been credited to the account.
The sending form will differ from MTS, but is similar to Beeline:
This form must be sent to the short number 3116. Then you must confirm the payment using the code. This will be detailed in the response SMS.
SMS transfers from other mobile operators work according to a similar principle. You can find out the specific number to which you need to send the combination on the official website of the organization. And if you have access to a browser on your phone, then you can visit a special page for making payments. Read about it below.

On the official site
Also, most operators have special functionality on their official websites. Usually, for this you need to log in to your personal account using your mobile number. Below are links to personal accounts of popular operators:
- MTS;
- Beeline;
- Tele 2;
- Megaphone;
- YOTA.
For example, you need to open a personal account with MTS, then go to the "Transfers and payments" section and select "Mobile phone" as the recipient. On the page that opens, specify the subscriber's phone number, the payment amount. And select your mobile number as a payment method. Opposite it, the balance of the SIM card will be indicated. Then a message will be sent to your phone with a confirmation code.

Ask a Question Be sure to read all the terms of service. It is possible that a commission is charged at certain rates and when sending large amounts! Before sending, read the rules on the website of your operator.
USSD commands
And one more way, which is relevant for absolutely all phones. USSD requests differ in that they are entered in the dialing window and are executed after pressing the call button. Again, all operators have different combinations.
For example, Beeline customers must open the application to enter the number and enter the following combination of numbers and symbols:
After that, you will receive an SMS with a confirmation code. It must be used in the second request, which looks like this:
Enter this combination and press the call button. If everything is done correctly, in the near future the money will go to the subscriber's account. By analogy, transfers are made with other mobile operators. On Megaphone, you must use the code 133, and after it enter the amount and the recipient's number through an asterisk. And Tele2 subscribers should make a request according to the Beeline scheme, but use the number 145 instead of the first code. The conditions and order of entry may change, so check with the operator.
