How to Check Etisalat Balance Prepaid and Postpaid

Knowing your current Etisalat balance is important for several reasons. For prepaid plans, checking your balance regularly allows you to track your usage and ensure you have enough credit to continue making calls, sending texts, and using mobile data.

Running out of credit unexpectedly can be inconvenient if you urgently need to make a call or access the internet.

For postpaid plans, check your balance to see how much you might owe on your next bill. This helps avoid unexpectedly high bills due to overage charges.

Method #2: USSD Codes for Prepaid Plans

USSD codes allow prepaid Etisalat customers to check their balance directly from the phone dial pad without needing an internet connection or installing an app. Here are the USSD codes to check the prepaid balance:

*121# – Check main account balance
*122# – Check bonus card balance

*124# – Check share credit balance

To use any USSD code, simply open your phone dial pad, enter the code (for example, *121#), and press the call button. Once the request is processed, your balance information will be displayed on the screen.

USSD codes offer these advantages for checking prepaid balances:

Work instantly without needing internet connectivity
