Checking data balance on CellC prepaid

[henkc]

I have a CellC prepaid data bundle on which I would like to check the balance. I'm using a Vkom 301 USB modem.

The CellC dashboard has a tab where you can check the balance
Alternatively, pop the SIM into a phone and call the balance check *101#

Or just register on CellC's site and they'll provide you with all your balances at a glance

I've had a problem checking my prepaid Cell C on my Ipad for a few days.

When it stops you will know you have run out

Register at cellc.co.za and then go to http://cellc.co.za/my-account

Yes, it doesn't work. Just says "Currently there is no usage information."

That's strange. I just checked my balance that way and it works.

Since loading iOS6, this seems not to work anymore. Registering on the site is also not possible with a simcard in an iPad, because you can't receive the confirmation sms. This is really starting to bug me now.

Does anybody have a workaround solution for this?

Thanks!

sms the word "balance" to 14302

How do you send an sms from a device that cannot receive it? iPad does not support sms at all. If I had something else that could read microsims, I could work around this...

Ohhh sorry forgot about that. Probably get a microsim adapter and insert the sim into your phone. Dial *101# then or register on the Cell C website while the sim is still in your phone. Quite frustrating.

I took out a SmartData 2GB contract with Autopage. There's no way of checking remaining balance by logging into the router. Wish they had that facility!

Hi Bas, that used to work fine before the iOS6 update. Since the update, you just return to the Sim Applications menu after pressing the last "Accept". The same happens when trying to convert airtime to a bundle via that menu.

Thanks for the response!

I popped the microsim into an adapter and registered on the website with a normal phone. Now i can check my balance on the website. Hopefully Cell C is working on getting the sim application to work with iOS6.

I wouldn't hold my breath for that. I suppose I will also have to do what you did if I ever want to get the most of my prepaid data.
