How to take the promised payment on A1: step-by-step instructions, capabilities and features of the service. Useful USSD requests on Velcom Connect using the voice menu

USSD is a wonderful service that is completely underrated. But it allows you to quickly organize interaction in interactive mode between the subscriber and the service application. To use it you only need a regular mobile phone, and the amount of money in the account does not matter.

Advantages

Knowing the composition of characters and numbers, usually from three to ten, you can instantly, within literally a few seconds, obtain the necessary information regarding telecommunications services and options. All you need is:

• pick up a mobile phone;
• type a specific command using the keyboard;
• click on the call function;
• Read the required information on the screen in the form of a pop-up message.

There is no need to do any other manipulations. The service operates free of charge.

Possibilities

Of course, it’s not easy to remember all velcom commands, but you can write them down in your phone book and use them without problems:

Special conditions

All Velcom clients, without exception, can use the service. Neither the tariff plan, nor the payment terms, nor the subscriber status can affect this opportunity. The commands are effective both when the subscriber is within his home country and when he is roaming. Message texts are not saved in the phone device. If necessary, the request can be sent an infinite number of times.

Operating principle in all telephone devices the same, but the menu display may vary. While responding to a request, a dialog box may appear to contact the user. The subscriber's choice of answer to the system question must be made using numbers.

Even if the phone is set to Cyrillic, responses to requests in the form of USSD commands may come in Latin. This is due to the fact that large texts are automatically translated into Latin mode through transliteration. But it is not difficult to read them, since familiar writing is conveyed using Latin characters.

Cellular companies in Russia, Belarus and other CIS countries provide a lot of opportunities designed to simplify the lives of their customers. Sets of options are usually standard. But there are also a number of differences. And this is logical, because any operator must create something that will be of interest to its consumers. And this “trick” should be absent from competitors.

Regarding the communication provider Velcom from Belarus, it does not have much of what alternative operators provide. In terms of variety of possibilities, it loses to its rivals. But at the same time, many consumers “sit” on it. Over time, they have a question about a service called “Promised Payment”. Is it possible to receive such a payment on Velcom? We'll talk about this today.

« Trust payment“(Promised) is an extremely useful service that allows you to top up your subscriber account “on credit” at the expense of the operator. The ability to pay for communications or Internet access “on credit” allows you to use mobile communications even when negative balance.

If for some reason the subscriber does not have financial resources or simply does not have an ATM or payment terminal nearby, then he will be able to activate the “Promised Payment” using a mobile gadget or his “ Personal account" “Borrowed” finance will be issued only for a specific period of time and only in a specified amount sufficient to renew communication services.

Does “Promised Payment” exist on Velcom? Alternative service option: how to use

Today Velcom provides consumers with a lot of different options, including mobile TV. But such a service as “Promised Payment”, which is necessary for many subscribers, is still missing.

Perhaps this is a reflection of the cellular company’s policy - people do not need “Trusted” funds, because then they will stop systematically replenishing the pockets of Velcom management. For a similar reason, the operator does not have such useful option, as “Transfer of funds” between subscribers. Although it is provided by 98% of all cellular companies.

Alternative service option

The cellular company Velcom offers its customers to take advantage of alternative option"Promised payment." Although this offer cannot completely replace the opportunity, it can slightly speed up the procedure for replenishing a subscriber account.

An alternative from Velcom is "Registration of payment." Its essence is as follows: If a consumer has deposited funds into his balance, but for unknown reasons they have not yet arrived, then the subscriber can ask the operator to transfer the amount deposited to his balance instantly.

Of course, the real finances then go into the pocket of the cellular company. Velcom does not have a “trust payment” as such. A service called “Payment Registration” simply speeds up the delivery of money to consumers. Well, thanks for that.

You can't hope for anything better or more from this cellular company. As an official representative of the operator once stated, management does not even have plans to develop such a service in the near future. This leads to only one thought: the operator treats its own consumers solely as a tool for generating income. Their needs are not subject to consideration. There is also no need to talk about convenience for the average client. Welkom will never implement the “Promised Payment”. You just have to come to terms with this.

How to use “Payment Registration”

There are two methods for activating the service called “Payment Registration”, both of them are simple and accessible to every subscriber:

1. Via USSD command— the consumer needs to type a command on his gadget *141*1# , and then make a call. The display will display the notification “Enter the payment date in dd/mm/yy format.” We write down the date stamped on the check. Next, we indicate the amount of payment (also indicated on the check) and the place of its implementation - the structure through which the funds were deposited (1 - bank branch; 2 - credit card; 3 - post office; 4 - Velcom operator department). That's the whole process.

2. By calling customer service— the subscriber needs to call the service number 410 or 411 and ask a company specialist to activate the service. The operator will also need to dictate all the details of the payment made, which are indicated on the receipt.

Note! The service called “Payment Registration” is not available to every subscriber. Only those clients who use tariff plans with a prepaid payment system have the right to use it. It is not available to other subscribers.

New service from Velcom: V-wallet or +100 rubles for expenses

Since mid-summer, the cellular company Velcom has introduced a new financial service called “V-wallet”, which was presented earlier at the TIBO-2017 exhibition. Now the company’s clients have the right to receive an amount with a limit of 100 rubles. to pay for services and purchase goods using a smartphone.

You can receive funds through an application called V-banking. Money can actually be used to pay for services through ERIP- starting with utility bills and ending with payment for changing your passport. Finance can also be spent on purchasing any product in online stores presented in the ERIP.

Depending on the date when the financial limit was used up, the installment period may be 21−50 days. Interest is not accrued for the use of “credit” funds under the terms of the service.

On this moment“V-wallet” can only be used by those Velcom clients who are individuals. In this case, it does not matter at all which banking institution the subscriber uses, and whether he uses it at all.
