How To Check SASSA Balance without Airtime

Here is a step-by-step guide ensuring you understand how to check your SASSA balance without airtime.

Important Note: Before we begin, this method only works if the phone number you’re using is registered with your SASSA account.

• Step 1: Open Your Phone’s Dial Pad

Just like making a regular phone call, locate the dial pad on your phone.

It’s usually an app with numbered keys or might be directly displayed on your main screen on some models.

• Step 2: Dial the USSD Code

On your dial pad, enter the following code: *120*3210#. This is a special code that connects you directly to SASSA’s balance-checking service.

Don’t worry, this code is completely free to use, and won’t deduct any airtime from your phone.

• Step 3: Follow the On-Screen Prompts

Once you enter the code and press the call button, you’ll see a message appear on your phone’s screen.

This message will contain instructions on how to proceed. These instructions are usually short and easy to understand.

• Step 4: Select “SASSA Balance Inquiry”

In most cases, the message will display a menu with options. Look for the option that says “SASSA Balance Inquiry” or something similar.

It might be numbered (e.g., Option 1) or listed with a corresponding word.

Select this option by following the instructions given on the screen, typically by pressing the corresponding number or replying with the word mentioned.

• Step 5: Enter Your South African ID Number

The next step will require you to enter your South African ID number.

This is the unique 13-digit number you received when you registered for your SASSA grant.

Enter this number carefully, ensuring each digit is correct.

• Step 6: Receive Your Balance Information

Once you submit your ID number, you’ll receive a message on your phone screen displaying your SASSA grant balance.

This message will clearly show the amount of money currently available in your account.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully checked your SASSA balance without using any airtime.

And there you have it! With just a few taps on your phone, you can check your SASSA balance without spending any airtime.

This handy trick lets you stay on top of your finances and plan your spending with confidence.
