How to get balance on data bundle thru SMS modem

[Smiley_lauf]

While I am connected thru the E220 modem, how do I check my data balance? what I do now is remove the SIM and place in phone; on the phone I dial *111#

I can't do this on the E220 modem SMS service?
Any way to check balance off the SMS service on E220?

Thanks S

On prepaid send an SMS from your Dashboard to 100 with the message balance. An SMS gets returned showing your available airtime balance and active data bundle.

On Contract send an SMS from your Dashboard to 31050 with the message MM. An SMS gets returned showing your bundle threshold(how much you have per month), how much you have used and how much you have left.

SMS is one way. Another way is visiting www.vodacom4me.co.za with the cellphone number of your data SIM and checking balances that way.

Many thanks to both of you above.

Prepaid: Is this a FREE service? or they charge for this too?

You can send sms's to 100 but getting a reply back with your available balance is another thing. Most of the time you don't get a reply.

Weird? I always get a reply

Yeah I know I suspect when you got two users or profiles the sms only goes to one of them.

Sometimes I get a reply immediately, and other times it is delayed, up to a few hours.

And sometimes, most people don't even see the SMS pop up on the side of the screen.

HMP has a lovely sms tone like an old phone, which you can't miss.

If you use MDMA, you can also use USSD to get your balance.
