Ultra Mobile: Check Your Balance on iPhone: How It Works
By Muhammad Shahid · · 3 min read
Quick answer
Text BAL to 6700 for balance and usage. Ultra Mobile's self-service short code is 6700, the same one Mint uses, but the balance keyword is the shorter BAL rather than BALANCE. Sending it returns your account balance and usage. Ultra's plans lean heavily on international calling, so the reply is worth reading in full rather than skimming for one number.
