Where is it more profitable: the cost of cellular services from operators

All tariffs provided by operators are different, and it is difficult to determine which one is more profitable.

To choose the best offer, you need to identify individual needs and, based on this information, connect a tariff plan.

In 2021, subscribers often spend time on the Internet, so most customers are looking for unlimited traffic. The Tele2 operator cannot offer this, but on the Beeline Unlim tariff the subscriber has the right to use the Internet as much as he wants for only 345 rubles.

Comparing the Internet

Now, when choosing an operator and tariff plan, many are interested in the Internet. Therefore, we will pay special attention to this comparison.

From reviews of Tele2 users, we can conclude that this operator is a leader in Internet performance. In addition, the operator does not limit which device the tariff plan will be used on.

So, by purchasing a SIM card with a tariff that has a sufficient number of GB for the Internet, it can be used equally on both your mobile phone and your tablet.

The same cannot be said about the MTS operator. Their Internet is also quite good, but there are often malfunctions. And the Internet in the service package for a smartphone will no longer work on a tablet computer.

Support

When comparing Tele2 and MTS, it is important to pay attention to the support service. In both cases, technical support works according to the general principle.

• Tele2 - 611
• MTS - 0890

So, qualified support can be obtained in two ways:

1. Dial the toll-free call center number.
2. Use the information on the official website.
3. Send a request to resolve the problem from your personal account.
4. Personally come to the nearest service office and solve the problem.

The nature of reviews on the Internet regarding the professionalism of workers is approximately the same. Therefore, determining where consultation is best is a difficult task. Both operators try to cover user requests when contacting them. But sometimes there are complaints about inexperienced or rude call center workers.

Network coverage

Tele2, unfortunately, has insufficient coverage area. Therefore, in some regions, SIM cards from this company are simply impossible to use. What can we say, even in the capital of the country the operator appeared relatively recently.

MTS has much wider network coverage than a competing company. So, in many regions where there is no Tele2, there will always be MTS.

The network coverage map is constantly expanding, providing new opportunities to its users. Therefore, when choosing an operator, be sure to check on the website or by calling the hot number whether it is possible to use their network in a particular region.

Official site

Thanks to the development of the Internet, more and more users began to communicate with mobile operators using the company’s official website.
It's simple and very convenient, you just need to be an authorized user. By visiting the page https:// tele2.ru and registering on the site, each subscriber gets the opportunity to connect various options, change tariffs, manage the main and bonus account. It is also worth creating an account in order to keep track of new services and promotional offers of Tele2 Russia OJSC in the region. By indicating the place of residence in your personal account, the user will receive a newsletter with offers for their city completely free of charge.

The main Internet portal of cellular communications Tele2 has several tabs where all information about tariffs and services is described in detail. Subscribers are also given the opportunity to visit the tele2life.ru (Tele 2 Life) forum, where they can discuss not only the company’s services, but also simply find friends living in Moscow time and any other time zone of the country.

User reviews

Elena, 30 years old.

I’m not delighted with the connection, but I can’t say anything bad either. On the one hand, everything is simple and clear: no additional options or hidden fees. Reasonable price. On the other hand, the operator’s coverage area is too small; the Internet often fails. If I rate it on a five-point scale, I’ll give it a four.

Andrey, 41 years old.

I've been using MTS for several years now and I really like it. The Internet speed is excellent, the connection is not lost. Simply put, there are a lot of advantages, but there is still a minus - the price. The products of this company are expensive, I cannot always afford to top up my account with a large amount.
