Internet distribution from Beeline is a service that allows subscribers to share network access with other users. The option works through the “Access Point” function of smartphones (the name may differ depending on the model). If the service is not activated on the SIM card, the user will still be able to share the Internet, but the connection speed will be reduced on the receiving devices. To remove the restriction you will need to enable the option.
The process of sharing the Internet between devices is called tethering. Sharing traffic from your smartphone is convenient when you need to access the network from a tablet or computer. In this case, by connecting one tariff and service, you can get unlimited access to all your devices. You can also share the Internet on Beeline with other subscribers. To do this, a package with unlimited Internet must be connected to the distribution device. It doesn’t matter what tariff the hosts have. Next, you need to configure the gadget as a modem and order it.
Distributing Internet traffic from an Android smartphone to several devices:
- We go to the item with wireless networks through “Settings”.
- Here we select the “More” section.
- A new menu will open where you need to enable “Access Point”.
Now all that remains is to order traffic distribution from the provider. Make sure you have unlimited internet connected. The service can be ordered for 1 hour or 24 hours.
Description
The service is necessary for Beeline subscribers to share the Internet via a WI-FI point. Activation is free. The subscriber pays for the time during which he uses the access point:
- To enable and disable distribution an unlimited number of times a day, you need to activate the service for 24 hours for 240 rubles.
- the first daily connection lasting one hour - no commission is charged;
- repeated and subsequent activation of the “Modem Mode” function - cost 50 rubles, valid until the end of the day;
It will be possible to distribute the Internet from a smartphone to other devices without an option, but the access speed will be limited by the provider. It will not exceed 64 Kbps.
What is the price
You can order the Internet sharing function for one day, in this case the cost of distribution will be 150 rubles. You can buy an option for 60 minutes for 50 rubles if the subscriber uses a prepaid payment system.
Subscription subscribers can distribute the Internet phone to a Beeline phone or other gadgets for free. The main condition is the presence of a Beeline SIM card in the distributing and receiving device.
Advantages and disadvantages
Internet distribution is a simple and convenient service if you need to split traffic between multiple devices for a short period of time. If you need long-term access to the network, it is more profitable to subscribe to a special tariff (for example, the “Close People” package with unlimited distribution).
The disadvantage of this option is the high cost. For a week of using a smartphone as an access point, you need to pay 1050 rubles, for a month - 4500 rubles.
How to activate the option on Beeline
The service is activated automatically the first time any device connects to the telephone distribution network. From this moment the countdown will begin. After 60 minutes, network access will be limited. You can connect an extension number in the following ways:
- in the subscriber’s personal account on the official Beeline Internet portal or in the mobile application.
- using USSD commands - * 157 * 1 # (activation until the end of the day), * 157 * 2 # (activation for 24 hours);
Disabling network access via a Wi-Fi access point occurs automatically after the allotted time has elapsed. If the user needs to update an option, they will need to reactivate the option. The number of connections is not limited.
The service can only be activated on smartphones and tablets. If the SIM card is inserted into the modem or router, the option will not be connected.
There is no restriction on the number and types of devices that can receive the Internet through the distribution. The access point will be available for computers, laptops, phones and other gadgets.
What tariffs are available?
The ability to offer Internet access to other users via Wi-Fi is available on all tariffs with unlimited network access. The service can be activated on tariff plans with unlimited Internet initially included in the offer, for example “Unlim”, and on a SIM card where unlimited access was activated as an additional option.
Options
Distribution for 1 hour per day is free. In addition, every hour will cost 50.85 rubles. You are allowed to activate the service an unlimited number of times during the day. If you plan to use your phone as a network access point for more than 3 hours, it is better to connect the option for one day - it costs 150 rubles. The amount is debited in full upon activation of the Internet distribution.”
How to connect
To use your device as an Internet source, you just need to send a digital combination to the Beeline number. Command to connect:
- Internet distribution for 24 hours: dial *157*1#;
- Internet distribution for 1 hour: combination *157*24#.
After the purchased time has expired, the function is automatically disabled. The number of connected devices depends on the factory settings of the phone manufacturer. You can order “Distribution” as many times as you like.
Prices and distribution algorithm according to the requirements of different operators
Each cellular operator sets its own rules and regulations for the distribution of Internet traffic.
Let's consider the conditions of the most popular suppliers and their requirements, from a complete ban to the utmost loyalty:
- Tele2 is the toughest and most adamant operator; it analyzes traffic and blocks the distribution of Internet at unlimited tariffs. There are ways to bypass such restrictions, but they are only suitable for technically literate users, as they are quite complex and can lead to dire consequences: blocked Internet or problems with the device software.
- Yota is a more loyal mobile operator that allows distribution on the Internet, but “for money”.
The cost of such a service for 2 hours is 90 rubles, for 24 hours – 190 rubles, for 30 days – 100 rubles.
- MTS is an operator that also did not want to share “hard-earned money,” but, realizing that it would lose users, it made concessions. It must be said that the conditions set by the provider are more than acceptable. With unlimited plans, you can allocate 10 GB of data per month for free, which is quite a lot. Everything that will be distributed in excess of the established amount costs 80 rubles per day. In addition, for this amount you can distribute the Internet as much as you like throughout Russia.
- MegaFon is the most loyal mobile operator. It is allowed not only to distribute Internet traffic, but also its quantity is not limited. The only limitation is distribution when using torrents.
When downloading large files, the Internet speed drops to 128 Kbps, making it almost impossible.
Several years ago there were practically no bans on the distribution of Internet traffic. The use of packages with unlimited Internet made operators fear loss of profits and introduced rather unpleasant restrictions. But along with them there were ways to get around them.
How to bypass Internet distribution restrictions on Beeline
For example, a subscriber needs to access the network from a laptop, but there is no Wi-Fi nearby and the money in the account has run out. The operator blocks tethering for those who have not ordered the appropriate service. Is it possible to bypass the ban? Yes, but it will take a little work. You can share the Internet for free on your computer, tablet or phone. Let's look at the example of a laptop, although the same can be done on other gadgets.
How to call the Beeline operator from a number: MTS, Megafon, Tele2 or Rostelecom?
When the phone owner does not distribute traffic, the packets go back to the operator with the original TTL value. For Android it is 64, the same value for most iOS devices. If a user tries to distribute the Internet to a PC, packets are sent from the donor with a value of 64. A TTL of 128 is received from the PC - this is the default value. One unit is lost at the donor and goes to the operator in the value 127.
The provider “sees” two different values, the possibility of tethering stops, and the operator offers to pay for the service. Bypassing blocking of Wi-Fi distribution lies in correcting these indicators. You just need to increase the TTL by one from the computer. This can be done in the system registry. Launch the registry editor (type regedit on the command line) as administrator. You can find the command prompt on your computer by typing “cmd” (without quotes) in Search. In the window that opens, open one by one:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
- SYSTEM.
- CurrentControlSet.
- Services.
- Tcpip.
- Parameters.
Right-click to create a file called DefaultTTL and type REG_DWORD. Change TTL to 65 and reboot the computer.
Distribution methods
The algorithm for enabling modem mode is the same for all phones. The exact names of menu items may vary depending on the version and type of operating system. To share the Internet with other users, you need to follow the instructions:
- Go to device settings.
- In the “Wireless Networks” section, select “Advanced” or “More”.
- Select modem mode in the subsection.
- Select the “Access Point” function.
- Set up the network. You will need to set a name, select an encryption type and set a password (if “No protection” is selected, then you do not need to set a key; the phone will allow all devices to connect).
- Enable Internet distribution.
Distribution to laptop and computer
To connect to a distributed network from a personal computer running Windows operating systems, you need to:
- activate the Wi-Fi wireless module in the PC settings;
- select the distributed one from the list of found networks;
- enter the specified password;
- connect.
The password will only need to be entered once. When you reconnect, if the settings of the distributed network have not been changed, the connection will be configured automatically.
Distribution to phones and tablets
It's easy to connect to the hotspot from another smartphone running Android or iOS. Enough:
- go to the device settings;
- in the “Wireless Networks” section, go to the Wi-Fi management menu;
- find the required identifier in the list;
- enter password;
- connect.
On MAC OS
To connect to the distributed network from a PC running MAC OS you need:
- in the status bar in the upper right corner, find the Wi-Fi icon and click on it;
- select the desired network from the list;
- enter key;
- connect.
for business
You can simultaneously connect to a single traffic on all your devices with the “Internet for Everything” package . In this case, the phone does not act as a router or modem. Traffic is divided among all connected devices.
The main condition for this service is that all devices must have a valid SIM card from Beeline. The function is not free; they charge 5 rubles per day. But for active users, this is much more profitable than paying for each gadget.
To use this opportunity, you need to log into your account on the Beeline portal. There is a “Share” section on your personal page. In a new window, enter the mobile number that will receive gigabytes. The recipient also needs to log into the account and confirm traffic sharing. If the subscriber wants to share it between his own gadgets, he confirms the action here.
Distribution to phones and tablets
Bypassing the limitation in this case is similar, but I only know how to increase the TTL value for Android. On the smartphone or tablet on which you distribute the Internet, you need to register one more TTL. But there is a small problem - this can only be done with ROOT rights installed, since this value changes in system files that are closed from the normal user. After that, download the “TTL Master” from Google Play. The interface is very simple. Enter the value and click “Apply”.
Tariff line “EVERYTHING!”
Reduced tariffs and division of services are also available in the new line of “EVERYTHING!” packages. Let's look at these proposals in more detail:
- “ALL 3.” You get 10 gigabytes of internet, 1200 minutes and 500 SMS. The subscription fee is 900 rubles per month;
- “ALL 4.” You get 15 gigabytes of internet, 2000 minutes and 500 SMS. The subscription fee is 1,500 rubles per month;
- “ALL 5.” You get 15 gigabytes of internet, 5000 minutes and 500 SMS. The subscription fee is 2,500 rubles per month;
Calls and messages
In addition to unlimited Internet and HD video services, the Beeline Unlim tariff plan provides customers with 500 free minutes for outgoing calls to any mobile operators (provided that the subscriber is within the coverage).
The tariff automatically includes the “Auto-renewal of minutes” option. According to the terms of the service, after exhausting the minutes included in the package, the subscriber will be credited with an additional 50 minutes for 50 rubles. To compare the benefits without the service, the cost of the call will be:
- To Beeline numbers - free of charge.
- Calls and messages to other operators within your home region - 2 rubles per minute or message.
- Calls and messages to other operators outside your home region - 5 rubles per minute or message.
If desired, the subscriber has the right to activate a package of free messages. The “SMS Package” option (30 messages per day) requires a subscription fee of 2 rubles/day. The cost of connecting to the service will be 30 rubles.
Review of the Beeline Unlim tariff
The Beeline Unlim tariff provides the right to use unlimited Internet in Russia. At first glance, it may seem that a fee of around 14-20 rubles per day is a pretty good deal. However, if you calculate the tariff in monthly equivalent, it turns out to be about 400-600 rubles (depending on the region).
Add to this the daily charges for using the HD video service, and you can get a price that is not much different from the competition. But the main disadvantage of the tariff is the paid (and expensive) Internet distribution.
HD video
The HD quality option is the second most important advantage of Beeline Unlim. According to the terms of the option, when connecting to the service, the subscriber will have the opportunity to watch videos in HD quality at the highest possible speed. Without the service, the data transfer speed is limited to 1 Mbit/s. The cost of the service is 3 rubles per day. The following numbers are used to control the option:
- Connection - 067402331.
- Shutdown - 067402330.
For subscribers who have switched to the new tariff, the first 30 days of HD video are provided free of charge.
