Given mobile operator offers a lot of different commands that allow you to obtain this or that information about the SIM card, as well as enable/disable certain functions. In general, USSD requests on Velcom are available in huge quantities. But we will consider only the most useful and popular of them. Maybe they will help you solve this or that problem more than once.

What is it

But first, let’s find out what our current needs are? Knowing this, you can understand whether you need them or not. Maybe you can do without them completely? Velcom's USSD requests, like those of any cellular operator, are nothing more than a means of subscriber self-service.

With their help, you can control your phone balance, check and change the tariff plan on your SIM card, perform various functions, as well as disable and activate certain services and options. The main advantage of such combinations is that they are free and can be activated at any time of the day or night. The main thing is to know what exactly you need.

Balance

Perhaps it’s worth starting with the main function - this is a USSD balance request and all the commands that will help you control the funds in your SIM card account. There are not so many of them, but there are some special ones among them.

For example, a balance request is made using the combination *100#. At the end of each dial, you need to click on the “Call” button. In response, you receive a message about the status of your SIM card account, and the result is displayed directly on the screen.

Velcom USSD requests allow you to easily change the tariff payment system. To work without prepayment, you need to dial *145#. If you want to register some unconfirmed request, then *141*1# will help here. Basically that's all useful commands to manage your account. We continue to study Velcom USSD requests further.

Tariffs

It's no secret that using these commands, any subscriber can change their tariff plan. Each offer has its own combination. You can find out complete information about this on the operator’s official website. After all, Velcom has many tariffs. It would take a very long time to list all the USSD commands for connecting them. So at the moment check with the operator.

Instead, we will try to learn universal USSD requests from Velcom. The tariff plan you are currently connected to can be found out using *141*2*1#. In addition, the subscriber can receive his phone number by dialing *147#. Information about the Internet tariff plan is displayed after dialing *141*2*3*1#. Everything is easy and simple. In some cases, you receive an SMS message with all the information you requested, but often the data is displayed directly on the phone display.

Additional services

Now a little about the interesting capabilities of our today's operator. Velcom also has its own USSD requests for them. “Favorite number”, for example, is added using *141*3*3#. After this, you can add this or that subscriber to the appropriate list.

Additionally, note that you can also enable some interesting and useful features using our commands today. For example, you can connect the Internet, MMS, and security to your phone with one single request. With its help, you will also receive all the information about the mobile Internet that is available on the SIM card. To do this, dial *135# on your mobile phone and send a request for processing.

Sometimes you want to talk while roaming. Velcom USSD requests allow all subscribers to quickly connect to similar services. “Roaming” (international) is activated using *141*3*2*1#, and “International calls” can be activated by dialing *141*3*1*1#. It turns out that without outside interference At any time, everyone can activate the services of profitable calls on a mobile phone abroad.

Services

Do not forget that Velcom USSD requests have one more feature. And it applies not only to this operator, but to everyone in general. These commands make it possible to enable/disable certain additional packages services and services. What can help us when communicating?

Let's say the "500 SMS" option package. To do this, you must type *119# from your phone. Please note that the request itself is free. But to connect this or that option you will have to pay according to the tariff. All available settings (Internet and MMS are included here) are received after sending *135*0#, and “Mobile Internet” is activated by the command *135*1#. As you can see, there is nothing difficult about this.

It is also worth paying attention to somewhat non-standard services. Velcom offers its clients a service. Oddly enough, it connects without problems using the USSD request *200*2#. "Melofon" is another service that subscribers often pay attention to. And it is activated through the combination *424#. In principle, these are all quite popular services that you can connect to.

Help and queries

The last point we will consider is sending “homeless people”, as well as receiving reference information on a SIM card. Velcom allows you to do all this using certain USSD commands.

So, for example, anyone can request a call back (send a “homeless person”) for free. Dial *131*friend's number# and send the command for processing. Another Velcom subscriber will receive from you free message asking to call back. Sometimes this feature is very useful.

The balance of free SMS, MMS, minutes and Internet traffic also has to be checked from time to time. In this situation, another self-service command will help. It looks like *100*1#. If you want to know the whole list paid services, connected to mobile number, contact *141*2*2#.

Do not forget that the full list of USSD commands from Velcom is quite diverse. Sometimes you want to quickly scan through it and select the self-service feature you want. Anyone can do this very easily and simply. What is needed for this? Just submit a special request for processing. It looks like *141*9*1#. In response, you will receive an SMS message in which all available commands will be published. Unless this does not include requests to change the tariff plan (for a specific offer).

As you can see, Velcom USSD commands are varied. And with their help you can fully control the functionality of the SIM card. Don't be afraid to experiment. Remember that when you connect to a particular service, you will be charged a fee in the amount established by the tariff. All background information free.
