Tasker Tutorial: Monitor Daily Call and Data Account Balance

This is an extremely simple yet effective way to keep track of your daily call & data balances. It also helps you monitor any unnatural balance deductions, which sometimes happens due to technical glitch of the telecom operators.

Most telecom operators allow you to send a keyword via a toll free SMS to get information about your call and data balances. To find out about SMS codes of your operator, please contact your customer care or try a google search.

For instance, Reliance Communications allows its users to send a SMS at 55333 with the text BAL or MBAL to receive call and data balance information respectively.

Press the back button to save.

Step 2: In the next pop-up menu, Select New Task + , type Send SMS and proceed.

Step 3: Inquiring Call Balance:  Press the + icon and select Phone -> Send SMS

Press the back button to save.
