- Presentation of documents, for example, a death certificate and indication of all reasons for transferring the number.

Why do you need to register a SIM for yourself?
Nowadays, a phone number can be compared to a certain account - all relatives, friends, colleagues or even clients know it. In the latter case, income will depend on its preservation. Bank cards, social media accounts, and email are linked to the phone number.
If the SIM card is not issued to you, then you:
- You will not be able to change operators. In this case, the application will simply not be accepted, since only the official owner has the right to dispose of the number.
- You will not be able to restore your bank card if you entered the PIN code incorrectly several times.
- You will lose all accounts that are linked to the SIM card if it is lost.
- You will not be able to use the old SIM on smartphones that have a micro-SIM connector, since it can only be replaced at the request of the official owner.
As you can see, there are many reasons why you need to re-register a Tele2 SIM card if the phone number is not registered in your name.
Why can't you buy a SIM card with a different number?
It happens that it is necessary to have this particular phone number, since it is saved by friends, relatives, and business colleagues. In other words, your job and salary depend on this number. Also, a bank card, discounts in stores, taxis, accounts on various Internet portals, email, social networks may be attached to this phone number.
If the number in the mail or on social networks can be changed, then to change the settings of the bank card you will need to visit the bank. Such conditions have been introduced to protect customers from scammers. It happens that you need exactly this number, or a tariff plan connected to it, and which cannot be connected to the new number.
When the contract is not renewed
It is impossible to re-register a SIM card in your name in the following cases:
- The real owner of the SIM card does not want to visit a communication store or draw up a power of attorney so that his interests are represented by a third party. The only way out of this situation is to change the number;
- The transferring party refuses to complete the application. Transition without this document is a violation of current legislation;
- The receiving party provides office employees with fake documents or provides false information about themselves.
The procedure will be completed faster if both parties are present when signing the contract, or if one of them suddenly passes away. In the second case, a death certificate must be provided along with the package of basic documents.
If the subscriber does not want to change the number, then all operations to manage services and change the tariff can be carried out in the personal account on the company’s website. In this case, the owner of the number does not have to visit the office.
How to re-register a Tele2 number to yourself without the owner
Concluding the topic, let's talk about how to re-register a Tele2 SIM card to yourself without the owner? The absence of one of the parties when renewing the contract is not a new situation for the operator. The rules of the service on the website clearly state that this is possible, but only if the absent participant is replaced by an official representative. Moreover, the person in whose presence the contract will be renegotiated must have a power of attorney confirming his rights and obligations.
Additional nuance: the submitted power of attorney must be notarized. The need for such a requirement arose because in recent years attempts at document fraud have become more frequent among Tele 2 subscribers. Therefore, make sure that you have a power of attorney to carry out such transactions and that it has not expired.
If you are interested in the method of re-issuing a Tele2 SIM card in the absence of the owner (without his knowledge), we hasten to disappoint you. There is no such option in the list of services offered. A number transfer is possible only if both parties (or their official representatives) agree and have documented their desire.
What to do if you can’t reissue a SIM card
If the SIM card you use is registered to another person who does not want or cannot help you with re-registration, and the cellular company does not provide such services without the card owner, then you will not be able to officially register it in your name. In such a situation, all that remains is to change the number, or somehow resolve these issues without a cellular operator.
In this case, the Personal Account can partially provide assistance. By going to your page on the operator’s website or in the mobile application on your smartphone, you can switch to other tariffs, manage mobile services, and manage other functions. But if you lose your SIM card, you won’t be able to get a duplicate, so you need to try not to lose it.
It turns out that usually subscribers of cellular companies have the opportunity to re-register the number they use, but this is not always possible. Experts advise not to use someone else's phone number unless absolutely necessary. If for some reason you were unable to buy a SIM card, and another person bought it for you, then it should be reissued when such an opportunity arises. Otherwise, various problems may arise in the future.
