You already have a Chinese Number, but now you still don't know how to check the balance on your mobile. Most Chinese mobile providers will not send you message every month to inform you about how much balance is left in your number. You will find it really annoying to suddenly realize that your number is inactive because there is no balance left.


Through this post, we will tell you some important codes and help you check out how much balance you have on your number!




China Unicom




China Unicom Official Operator number is 10010.

You can call them to know the information. However, it will be easier to send a text message. So in order to get any information about your number, you need to send certain code to 10010:


  • Type "YE" to check your remaining balance


You need to see the number after the words 余额 (Yú'é : balance), in this case '17.22', because that's the amount of balance left in your number.


  • OTADYHF - your monthly fees (data packages etc.)




In this message, 20元 is the amount of balance that is cut automatically every month for 3G data plan, 0.60元 is the amount of balance that is cut per minute for phone call and 0.10元 is the amount of balance that is cut for every byte of internet (only if the user's data usage have exceeded the 3G data plan per month).


If you are subscribed to a 3G data plan, usually China Unicom will send you automatic message every month to remind you how much 3G data plan that you have used up before they charge for the next month.
