How to most accurately get reliable information on account usage?

The best way to get reliable information on your account is by utilizing your telephone service operator. Some operators allow their subscribers to send text messages to obtain account information.

Some examples for operators in the USA:
  • If you are a T-Mobile subscriber, you can call special service #646# (#MIN#) to check the account usage and service number #225# (#BAL#) to check the current account usage.
  • If you subscribe to Sprint PCS, you can call the service *4 to know the current account usage.
  • If you subscribe to Cingular, the number of service #2455 (#BILL) is available in some markets to check account usage.

The SMS based request may take form as sending a blank message to a service and acquire the account number via the message reply. It is most popular in Europe and Asia than in the United States most of these numbers are freely accessible.

Not all operators offer such services to their subscribers. The information provided may also very short, considering the limited size of reply. Your most up-to-date source of information is the customer service of your wireless network operator.
