China SIM: check balance, how?

How you check your balance on your China Mobile and Unicom SIM? I know you can call them, or send SMS. Is there any App that can check it?

That seems to be the only way

Thanks. I copy and paste: for Unicom:

send text "101" to 10010 for airtime balance or send text "2082" to 10010 for data balance.

These texts are free of charge.

Not an App but good enough for me.

So how to check China mobile? (Really, I use both)

For China Mobile I found some different methods, not sure if all are working:

- SMS 101 to 10086

- SMS 111 to 10086

- SMS "ye" to 10086

Just an update, on both companies you use 'ye' to check you balance via SMS:

ye to 10010 for Unicom

ye to 10086 for China Mobile

If have both in a dual-SIM phone you need to send the SMS of course from the SIM of that provider.
