How to check your account balance<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

Each network uses a different method to check your account balance. It is helpful to know how to do it for your network because when you activate a data package it is deducted from your account balance. If you don’t have enough balance the activation won’t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
