Most major mobile networks offer people a wide range of services. MTS users have a unique opportunity to manage funds in their personal account in a way that is convenient and profitable for them. For example, you can use the money to pay utility bills or a loan.
Often people urgently need to top up the balance of a phone that is serviced by another mobile network. There is such an opportunity for MTS users. This convenient feature applies to Tele2.
Features and options for payments from MTS to other numbers
Today, you can pay for mobile communications from many mobile operators with MTS using several convenient methods:
Payment by SMS message;
+ mobile application;
+ personal account.
The mobile application is publicly available on Google Play. Every smartphone owner can download it completely free of charge. To access your personal account, you need to enter your phone number in the field and enter the characters in the picture. After this, you should wait for the service SMS with the password and fill in the requested field. In addition, you can log into your personal account through social networks such as Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, Twitter and the Microsoft service.
In this way you can pay not only mobile bills, but also pay utility bills and loans. Authorization in the system is free and just a couple of clicks.
Features of translation via SMS
If you need to top up a loved one's account, the fastest way is to send an SMS. To carry out the operation, you need to select in the phone book the number of the person to whom you decided to transfer money. The SMS should look like this - #translation<200>. SMS is sent to *115#. After dialing it, you need to press the green call key. When the request is completed, the user will be offered a specific list of payments to choose from.
To transfer money to another number, you need to select the “Mobile phone” category. Enter the number 1 in the requested field and press the “Call” button. Next, select the desired operator from the proposed list. If you want to top up an account served by Megafon, then enter the required number 3 in the field. All you need to do is follow a simple algorithm. Transferring funds via SMS is very convenient if you do not have the opportunity to log into your personal account.
Option "Manage payments"
In the personal account of an MTS subscriber there is a section “Manage payments”. Through it you can deposit money from your account to the numbers of Tele2, Megafon and Beeline operators. For example, to transfer money to a number serviced by the Megafon operator, you need to enter the phone number and payment amount in the fields provided, and also select how the payment will be made. After completing the manipulations, you need to click the “Next” button.
When filling out the “Pay” field, do not forget to tick the option of payment from an MTS mobile phone account. After sending the request, you will receive a message confirming the transfer from number 6996. To complete the operation, you need to send a response SMS with any text. For example, write the word “translation”, “yes”, “I confirm”. If you change your mind, you need to send an SMS with the number 0 to cancel.
For transferring funds between accounts, a small commission percentage is charged - 10.4%. When transferring 100 rubles, the commission will be 10.4 rubles. Before sending a response message, you must carefully check the data. You can transfer no more than 1000 rubles to a Tele2 number, and no more than 3000 rubles to other numbers.
Payments in your personal account
If you want to top up the account of another operator from yours, then this can be done as conveniently and quickly as possible through the “Easy payment” option. Using this service, you can top up the balance of such cellular operators as YOTA, Beeline, MTS, Megafon, SMARTS, Yo Chuvashia, and many others.
Before choosing a mobile operator, you need to select the region in which you are located. In the upper right corner of the field. This will help you know which numbers you can deposit money on. Different regions have their own list of available cellular operators to whose numbers you can transfer funds.
It is also worth considering the fact that during the transfer, MTS writes off a commission for the operation. For example, when transferring funds to a YOTA number, the commission will be 9.8%, GoodLine LLC - 0.9%, SMARTS - 1.9%. You can view the percentage and amount of the commission in the field of the same name when filling out the transfer form. Before making a payment, make sure that you have enough money in your account for both the transfer and the commission.
What are the restrictions when transferring funds?
Before transferring money from an account to another account, you need to know that MTS imposes restrictions on such operations. Thus, the maximum amount in rubles for a Tele2 operator reaches 1000 rubles, and for others - no more than 3000 rubles.
At the same time, the subscriber cannot make a payment if he transferred 30,000 rubles per day. No more than 5 operations are allowed per day. After the transfer, a minimum of 10 rubles must remain in the subscriber’s account. You should know that all payments made through number 6996 are paid. The cost of one reply message is 10 rubles. In addition, you need to make sure that a subscription agreement has been concluded between the individual and the MTS operator. To make transfers and payments, you should not be prohibited from using the service.
Today the company holds various promotions and discounts. Subscribers are awarded points for using communications and services. They are intended for personal use only and are not permitted for translation. Also, additional restrictions are imposed on subscribers of some tariff plans. You can get acquainted with them on the official website of the company.
If you are in another country, then transfers of money from your account to another account are subject to roaming. In this case, the commission amount increases and special restrictions begin to apply.
Why is it impossible to pay a bill with MTS?
It is impossible to use the option to pay for a personal account of another mobile operator in three cases:
- there is no money in the person’s account, the balance after the operation is less than 10 rubles;
- you use tariffs that are not covered by the option (you can get information about the tariff by calling * 111 * 59 #);
- the SIM card is prohibited from carrying out such operations;
If you are unable to make a payment, you need to check whether you have set a ban manually. In case of an error, you can always call or write to support and remove the blocking.
Auto payment
MTS offers its subscribers to set up automatic payment in order to regularly top up the required account, regardless of which operator services the connection. Autopay is a great way to stay on top of all your bills.
To activate this convenient option, go to the “Autopayment” section in your personal account. The function allows you to make automatic payments to a specified account. You can set in which case the auto payment will be made: according to a specific schedule or when the funds run out.
If you enable automatic replenishment of your balance according to a schedule, you can independently select the desired date of enrollment. In this case, enrollment can be once a day, week, month. You also set the payment amount yourself. For example, it can be either 100 rubles or 500 rubles. This feature will help you and your loved ones always stay in touch. In this case, there is no need to make payments manually each time, since the money will be debited on a certain day.
Mobile phones have become an integral part of our daily lives, as they allow us to stay connected at absolutely any time and anywhere, without binding the subscriber to any restrictions. Inconveniences can only arise when the funds on the mobile number run out, in which case the subscriber will not be able to call or use other services.
MTS has the ability to transfer funds from another number belonging to a given operator, which allows you to stay in touch even if you are unable to get to the terminal and put money on your phone. There are a huge number of ways to do this, which we will discuss in more detail below.
Transferring money using the mobile portal 115
Using this service, you can send funds not only to MTS, but also to subscribers of other operators. To access the portal you will need to use a special USSD request *115#. After calling the number, you will be taken to the text menu of the 115 portal, in which you will only have to follow the text instructions indicated on the screen of your mobile phone or tablet.
For sending money through this portal, a commission of 10 rubles is charged, the transfer limit is 1,500 rubles.
Transfer money via SMS
Few users are aware of the possibility of sending money using a regular text message. To do this, you don’t even need to use special numbers, just send a message with the text “ #translation<сумма в рублях>
"(for example: #transfer 100) to the number of the MTS subscriber to whom you want to send funds from your mobile phone. 
After sending the request, you will only have to wait for a message from the short number 6996, in which you will need to confirm the previously completed transfer of funds. The commission for SMS does not differ from the previous method and is 10 rubles, the limit is also 1,500 rubles.
Transfer in your personal account
The personal account of any mobile operator, including MTS, provides enormous opportunities for working with your mobile account. In it you can make payments using a bank card, change the tariff plan and connect various additional services, as well as transfer funds to another number.
Subscribers who have never used their personal account will first need to register in it. For this purpose, you need to open the website login.mts.ru and get a password for your account by entering your number in the appropriate menu and clicking on the link “ Receive password via SMS».
Next you should log in using the received password, go to the menu “ mobile phone" and select "Transfer". After this, all that remains is to enter the desired phone number and the amount of funds to be sent. The commission and restrictions for this method do not differ from the previous ones.
Transfer using USSD request
The USSD command allows you to literally send funds to another mobile number in one action. The entire request will look like this “*112*telephone number (without eight)* transferred amount#”. After entering this command, you will receive an SMS on your phone in which you need to confirm the operation. 
The USSD request is not widely popular due to a high commission of 4% of the total amount, a limit of 500 rubles and the need for a sufficiently high balance on the number from which money will be sent.
This method does not work in some regions or countries!
Transfer money using a mobile application
For owners of smartphones and tablets, MTS has released a special application for working with a mobile account - My MTS. The program allows you to perform the same actions that are available through your personal account of a mobile operator.
First, you will need to install the program from the Play Market or App Store (depending on your smartphone model). 
Therefore, you should only download the application from official software stores.
After installing the program, you should log into it, go to the “Account” menu and send funds to another number. Commission and transaction restrictions are standard.
Service "Autopayment"
Many subscribers have heard about this additional service, which allows you to automatically top up funds on your cell phone from a bank card or online wallet. But few people know that using this option you can automatically transfer money from one MTS number to another. 
There are three USSD requests to enable automatic transfer to another subscriber:
- To send funds daily, you should enter *114*subscriber number*1*amount sent#.
- For a weekly transfer, the number 1 must be changed to 2 ( *114*subscriber number*2*amount sent#).
- For a monthly payment, the request would look like this: *114*subscriber number*3*amount sent#.
The commission for “Autopayment” is 7 rubles.
Translation using third-party services
In addition to the methods provided by the direct cellular operator, there are third-party services on the Internet that allow you to transfer money from one cell number to another. The advantages of this transfer method include an increased limit on sending funds and the ability to send money to a subscriber of absolutely any operator.
The official service for sending money from MTS is the website pay.mts.ru. When you go to the resource page, just select “ transfer to mobile phone", select the required operator (in our case it is MTS), enter the desired subscriber number and the required amount.
The maximum payment amount is 15,000 rubles, the commission is only 10 rubles, regardless of the amount of money sent.
Using online wallets
Many online wallets also have all the necessary functionality; the only condition for making a successful transfer is linking your phone number to the online wallet.
The commission and the maximum available amount depend solely on the amount of money sent, as well as the selected online wallet. The disadvantages of using this method include the long time it takes to send funds (payment can take up to several days).
Commissions, restrictions and terms of transfer
This all depends solely on the method you choose to send funds to another phone number. Most methods will only require you to pay a service fee of 10 rubles, but in some cases, especially when using third-party services or online wallets, you will need to pay an additional commission.
Restrictions also vary; in some cases you will not be able to send more than 500 rubles. In other ways, you can transfer huge amounts, up to 15,000 rubles.
Of course, to make a successful transfer, the corresponding service must be available for your number, otherwise nothing will work. To activate the service, you may need to visit one of the MTS salons, and be sure to take your passport with you; without it, you may be refused to activate the required tariff option.
Finally
In general, transferring money to another phone number should not pose any special problems; it is incredibly easy to do, because there are many ways to send funds to another subscriber. The lowest commission will be when using SMS from the short number *115# and also when working with your personal account. It will be more expensive to use third-party services or online wallets, in which case the commission can hit your pocket hard.
Questions from subscribers
Tell me, how can I transfer money from MTS to MTS for free?
It will not be possible to perform the operation completely free of charge; in any case, there will be a commission. The smallest commission will be when sending money via SMS. Without any commission, you can only top up your account, but not transfer funds to another number.
Can I transfer money to another MTS subscriber using a message?
Yes you can, all you need to do is send a message with the text "#translation<желаемая сумма (в рублях)>» to the number of the subscriber to whom you are going to send funds.
The situation when your phone balance runs out of money is probably familiar to everyone. And this happens quite often. The fault is mainly due to simple forgetfulness of subscribers or lack of time. Eager to do services always available , operators provide a huge number of ways to replenish a personal account: communication shops, payment cards, various payment terminals, and so on. They are available anywhere, even in the outback. Many of the terminals and ATMs work 24 hours a day so that subscribers are not left without communication.

Now all operators have begun to provide Additional services. They offer money transfers, bank cards, and such as MTS even acquired their own bank. Thanks to this, it became possible for subscribers to transfer money from MTS to MTS or any other operator.

Very often, within the same family or company, everyone uses the same operator. And subscribers periodically have a question: “How to transfer money from MTS to MTS?” For this purpose, the operator’s employees have provided several replenishment methods someone else's account from the balance of your mobile phone.
Let's look at how to transfer money from MTS to MTS:
- one-time payment using USSD commands;
- regular payment using service teams;
- V Internet assistant;
- through the service "Easy payment".
You can quickly transfer money from MTS to a friend's MTS number using the service number *112*[receiving subscriber number]*[amount]#. Example command: *112*9121234567*150# . You can indicate the mobile number of the subscriber receiving the transfer in any format, starting at least 7, at least from 8 or omitting them altogether and immediately entering the phone number.

You will receive an SMS with a code in response. It must be entered in this format: *112*[code from SMS]#. For money transfers, MTS charges a commission of 7 rubles for each.
There are situations when you need to transfer money from MTS to MTS more than once, but make this transfer regularly, for example, once a week, day or month. This may be needed to top up children's accounts or working group employees. In this case, another team will come to the rescue. It has the following format *114*[receiving subscriber number]*[frequency]*[amount]#. Valid values for the frequency parameter: 1 - once a day, 2 - once a week, 3 - once a month.
Similarly, you need to confirm the command with the code received via SMS, but its format will be *114*[code from SMS]#. Commission in 7 rubles will be taken only for the first transfer, the rest will be completely free.
Canceling such a transfer is performed with the command: 114*[receiving subscriber number]#.

- select an MTS operator;

Method of replenishing Megafon from MTS
The MTS operator allows you to transfer money from your phone to the phone of another equally large Russian mobile communications provider, Megafon, through the “Easy Payment” service. To do this, you need to contact the Internet service to the section "Mobile communications" , indicate that you need to top up your Megafon account and enter the number of the receiving subscriber. You also need to check that the checkbox for payment from MTS balance is checked.
Important! The commission for such a replenishment is 10%.
You can perform “Easy Payment” even without access to the Internet, using the service number *115# .
How to transfer money from MTS balance to Beeline
Sometimes you may need to quickly top up the account of a friend or loved one who uses the Beeline operator. In this case, the “Easy Payment” service will be useful again, only instead of Megafon you need to choose Beeline.
Important! You can pay for a mobile number not only from your MTS account, but also from your bank card.
How to transfer funds to Tele 2 from MTS
Mobile operator Tele2 is not as widespread as the others. But with MTS you can transfer to it too. It is available on the website of the “Easy Payment” service, using the application of the same name for mobile systems and the command *115# . Please review the rates carefully before making a payment. Service commission quite high.
Personal mobile accounts are increasingly being used as a payment instrument. You can use your phone balance to pay for utilities, make a loan payment, or transfer money to another subscriber. As part of the latter option, MTS previously offered the “Direct Transfer” service, which provided not only the possibility of making a one-time transfer, but also the activation of regular debiting of funds in favor of the selected recipient (autopayment, in other words). On January 26, 2016, the service was discontinued and replaced by “Easy Payment”. The service functioned for 3 years, but from February 18, 2019 it gave way to the MTS Money Wallet service, which is relevant today.
Payment methods remain the same: via SMS, Internet and USSD command. However, the order in which these requests are made has been slightly adjusted. The main changes affected limits and commissions.
SMS transfer
One of the basic ways to transfer money from MTS to MTS via phone is to send a corresponding message. Here the procedure remains the same:
- create a new text message;
- type #transfer YYY, where YYY is the payment amount in rubles;
- in the “SMS recipient” column, select the contact to whom you need to transfer money;
- wait for a message asking you to confirm the transaction.
Important: make sure there is a space between the word “transfer” and the payment amount.
USSD command
How to transfer money from MTS to MTS via USSD? Using short USSD commands, you can manage your mobile account without an Internet connection. The entrance to the mobile menu itself is free - money is withdrawn only to pay for any services, including for a transfer to another subscriber.
This method has undergone the biggest changes. First, the previously existing *112# command is no longer valid. Secondly, transaction confirmation by sending a code to the service application has changed to a simple confirmation via SMS.
So, the current method for 2019 to send money via USSD command looks like this:
- in the dialing window enter *115# and press “call/call”;
- select number “1” - “make a mobile transfer”;
- indicate the receiving operator: in our case “1” - “MTS”;
- in ten-digit format, that is, without the eight, enter the number of the recipient subscriber;
- indicate the amount in rubles;
- press “1” - “debit from mobile account”;
- review the commission and select “1” - “pay” or “2” - “cancel” if you decide to stop the transaction.
If the transfer limits have not been violated, you will receive an SMS asking you to confirm the transfer. To complete the operation, reply to this message with any text other than “0”. Zero means write-off cancellation.
Help: it is not necessary to memorize the entire chain of actions. The main thing is to remember the combination to enter the mobile menu – “*115#”. Follow the remaining steps following the system prompts.
Internet transfers
Now all mobile payments are made through the MTS Money service. You can get to it through the official website by clicking on the corresponding section at the top of the page, or via a direct link https://payment.mts.ru/.
Previously, logging into the system was optional - now you need to log in to your personal account. The login is your phone number, and the password is the code from SMS, which you will receive by clicking “Get password”. After logging in, you will be asked to set your own permanent cipher. The requirements for the new password are at least 6 characters, which must contain at least one uppercase and one lowercase Latin letter.
You don't have to set a password, but then you will have to request a one-time code each time you log into your personal account.
Once you get to your personal page, click on the “Transfer money to phone” section - the option is located directly under the balance information. A mini-form will open in which you need to enter the recipient’s number, as well as the amount of the shipment. In the payment method, select “From your number.” As soon as all fields are filled in, the system will automatically calculate the full write-off amount taking into account the commission. All you have to do is click “Pay” and confirm the transaction via SMS.
Transfer via mobile application
Now the company has two mobile applications: “My MTS” and “MTS Money”. Both programs allow you to make a mobile transfer both from a personal account and from an MTS Wallet. The procedure is approximately the same:
- download the application;
- log in by entering your username and password;
- go to the “Bills and Payment” section (for the “My MTS” service);
- Click "Payment" or "Autopayment".
Next you need to fill out the form. If this is a one-time transfer, then enter the subscriber’s number or select it from the contact list, indicate the payment amount, the debit account, as well as the method of receiving the fiscal receipt - by phone or by mail.
To activate automatic payment, click the “Connect” button and then “MTS Mobile Communications”. Select the transfer principle: by threshold or by schedule. In the first case, the money will be transferred when the subscriber’s balance drops to a specified limit, in the second - on a set day, regardless of the balance status. The remaining data is filled in as usual - number, amount, write-off account.
Fees and restrictions
Mobile transfers within the network of one operator are not subject to additional charges, so all of the listed methods for transferring money from MTS to MTS are: no commission. Let us remind you that the “Direct Transfer” service implied a commission fee even for transfers to the “native” operator in the amount of 7 rubles + 10% of the amount. However, already with the “Easy Payment” service, transfers from MTS to MTS have become free.
Transfer limits have also changed via SMS and Internet:
- One-time replenishment amount – from 10 to 14,999 rubles.
- The maximum payment per day is 30 thousand rubles. The total takes into account all payments using the MTS Money service. That is, if you paid a loan in the amount of 15 thousand rubles through an MTS virtual wallet, then on that day you can transfer no more than 15 thousand from your personal account to another number.
- The maximum amount of transfers per month is 40 thousand rubles. The sum of all payments is also calculated here.
- The number of transactions in 24 hours is 5.
If you make a payment via USSD commands, then the limit on one-time replenishment will differ - from 1 to 10 thousand rubles.
As for restrictions, almost everything remains unchanged:
- You can only transfer your personal money.
- Finances received as a result of connecting to the “trust payment” service cannot be transferred.
- The service is not available to corporate clients who do not have a personal account.
The only innovation is the absence of minimum balance requirements for the sender. Previously, there had to be at least 90 rubles left in the account, but now the amount can be any, the main thing is that the balance remains positive.
How to transfer money from MTS to MTS is a fairly common question. Situations when there is nothing on the account arise for each of us. There are many ways to replenish – from a bank card, using terminals, electronic payment systems, at customer service centers, and cash desks of communication stores. No matter what city you live in, such systems are located at every step, and many ATMs operate around the clock.
What to do if it is not possible to use the above methods? In this case, you can transfer money from phone to phone. All Russian mobile operators make it possible to simply and quickly transfer funds, for example, from MTS to the account of another subscriber.
There are several ways to make payments, all of them are simple and straightforward, some are free. Other cellular operators also provide similar services.
