Well, all the pre-paid that I have ever used allowed you to dial something and
see the credits remaining. The credits are NEVER on the phone but in your
providers switch.

#646# works someplaces. #999# works in others. You might need to contact your
provider to get the code that you need to enter.

The codes vary a lot; depending on the network. In Malaysia it can be
*#122#, *#126#, or sending "bal" to 2888 << that IS one weird network..

I live in Lebanon... We have a system of prepaid cards... It will cost my
$52 to get a new line precharged with around 90 minutes...
Yeah I know, it is very expensive... But we have no other choice... And by
the way, users are having a strike tomorrow by turning off all mobile phones
in Lebanon during the whole day to protest high prices.
