How To Check Data Balance On Huawei Router Telkom

Checking your data balance on Telkom using the Huawei router can be accomplished easily and in some simple steps. At first glance, you might think that it is absolutely impossible to check your data balance because Huawei routers work differently from mobile phones.

One thing that you must know is that just like mobile phones, you can actually check your data balance and if you want to do so, then do the following;

  • Connect your laptop or computer to the Huawei router from Telkom.
  • Once you are connected, you must type in a specific IP address that will enable you to carry out what you want to do. If you have no idea about this IP address, do not panic because you can easily figure it out, and one thing is that you might have probably seen it but you had no idea that you might be needing it so you just forgot about it. The IP address is most found on the Huawei device, normally at the down part of the device. In case you cannot find yours, use the IP address, 192.168.8.1.
  • Once you type the IP address in your browser, a login page will open and you will be required to enter a password to log in. The default password with which you can log in is ‘admin’ and once you type this in the input field, you will be logged in.
  • After logging in, head straight to tools, and choose USSD.
  • Proceed to type *188# in the field provided and click on the send button that can be seen on the page.
  • An SMS will be sent from Telkom and you can access this message to know the data balance left on your device.

• To see the message that you received and other messages that you might have missed, go to the left menu and click on SMS then follow the prompts.
