To check the balance on the mobile phone account, there are convenient
USSD- queries, of the form * 100 # or * 102 #.
But the information received on the request of a balance check is often redundant. For example,
“Dear subscriber, the following amount is in your account: 100 rubles and 53 kopecks. The contract expires on February 31, 2017. Thank you for using our services .
” Some, especially distinguished ones, irritate customers by inserting advertisements (the 3rd screen in the illustration).
If you think for a second, it is easy to understand that respected subscribers are primarily interested in only two numbers: the amount of money and the term of the contract. I do not understand why it is so difficult to write the following in this line: “
Balance: 100.53 p., Until 23.59 31.02.2017 ”.
')
For example, on my favorite mobile phone (the notorious Me45), information about the balance is generally displayed in one line, and not on the whole screen. Therefore, I have to wait until it runs through the numbers I need.
I noticed that lately, there have been some shifts in Megafon in this regard. Now they have this information: “Balance: 492.2 p. Services valid 02/14/2008.
Already better. But, it is not clear, now in general they make pennies round up to ten? But is the validity period still considered inclusive or not? And for what time? The MTS is even worse, even unclear what kind of monetary units they use. See illustration, 2nd screen: 308.16 parrots. And if I had 10.02 parrots in the account, I could easily take it as the expiration date of the contract: February 10.
In general, I would like this line to look like this:
“
Balance: 100.53 p., Until 23.59 02.31.2017 ”.
Nothing superfluous, comprehensive information.
