Checking balances / buying bundles with sim in data card / usb modem?

[sean12]

The *111# USSD command does work for Vodacom contract users as well as prepaid. The contract option allows you to check your bundle balance and your account balance.

Is there a way to enter the whole code at once.

I have tried *111*1*7# and *111*17# but I get an error.

Another I would be interested in is for loading a bundle.

I have also tried doing the USSD commands at once but have also just come up with an error.

On my Top Up contract the USSD to check the data bundle balances is:
*111# --> 1 --> 5

I have tried *111*1*5# and *111*01*05# without success

But with Ginggs tool you will have to do the 3 step process.

If you on Mtn contract first u would need to dial 0831238000 to setup ur password then once thats done. You dial *162*password# to check ur free minutes, sms bundles, billed calls etc

NOTE: only works for mtnsp customers not nashua or italk or autopage

Does that include data bundles?

Seeing as I can't try it myself, I need confirmation from someone who have an MTN data bundle. Only after it has been confirmed to work, will I update my first post

It looks like it works. I used ginggs tool and could send the USSD but info back said I had 0.0 MB. when I phoned 808 the girlie told me I have 130Mb left.

I can not find any info on www.mtnsp.co.za

So it is kind of a work in progress at the moment?

another service code/number that I would like to know for the different networks is how to dial straight into someone's mailbox. for vodacom it is 131 eg:

number 0821234567
into mailbox 0821311234567

anyone know of the other networks?

Updated first posted for MTN info.

The MTN *141*VOUCHER NO# does not work anymore. I tried it numorous times, even tried *141#VOUCHER NO# - you just get a voice message that the number you have dialed is incorrect. I am trying to used USSD for my GSM commander (www.gsmcommander.com) as well, but looks like MTN stopped the service. The airtime checking number still works though....

Vodacom should enable use to recharge prepaid vouchers over the net!

swapping sims, typing in 4 or more long numbers, + waiting inbetween is very cumbersome...

You can with internet banking - works for all networks.

I tried to buy SMS bundles from FNB internet banking, but no bundles are available - ony normal airtime is available. I doubt if you can buy data bundles either.

I just buy the air time and convert to data bundles using either the sms feature on the Huawei app or the USSD commands on the MDMA app.

[abeukes]

What USSD command do you use to change airtime to data bundles? Is it perhaps "*141*6*<BundleSize>#" to "buy" bundles and if so do you know of a similar command that can be used to "buy" SMS bundles?
