The Tele2 operator pleases subscribers with the introduction of new options on a regular basis. And one of them has gained particular popularity among clients. It gives all customers a unique opportunity to stay in touch and receive voice messages even when the phone is turned off. After turning on the device, you only need to listen to the message left by the caller. But not many users know how to do this, which is why we decided to talk about how to listen to a voice message on Tele2, as well as the prices of the presented option and other features.
What is voicemail
Most often, mail is installed primarily by those people who cannot answer the phone on time, but at the same time are the ones who must receive the necessary information on time. The voice function is a very convenient mechanism that allows you to quickly and easily get the information you need, even without having to call the person back afterwards.
As a rule, the box is installed using the telecom operator that the person uses. Connecting to this service can be either paid or free - it all depends on how the person plans to receive messages afterwards.
Voice mail works in such a way that during a call, the person on the other line waits for the called party to pick up the phone. After a certain number of calls have passed, a signal is heard indicating that the person cannot answer the call. The caller is asked to write down important information, and if there is none, then simply hang up. After a person has left their message, the recipient can listen to it.
He will receive a notification about this.
Thus, voicemail is a powerful enough tool that allows you not to forget about the main thing. You can see more details about it in this video
About the service
The presence of the Tele2 voice mail service greatly simplifies life, allowing the subscriber to receive letters from other users who were unable to reach him on time. The option works on the “autoresponder” principle.
There are different reasons why the call was not accepted by the recipient. For example, calls could be made when the phone was switched off, discharged, the subscriber was out of network coverage, or was unreachable for other reasons. In all cases, you will receive a short SMS notification with information about the incoming number, from which you can find out how to read a voice message on Tele2.
Free voicemail from telecom operators
As mentioned earlier, the voice function can be either free or paid. It all depends on the purposes for which a person installs it with his telecom operator.
Different operators have different offers. Some do not offer such a service as having a mailbox at all, while others, on the contrary, promote it in every possible way, showing the importance of such messages.
The difference between the paid and free versions is that the paid version has a large number of features, advanced functionality, which means that the person receiving the call can take advantage of additional functions that are not available to the person with the other, paid version.
With the free version, a person most often gets the following features:
- Saving the message for a period of 1 day;
- The maximum message length is 60 seconds;
- Listened via telephone;
- No more than 15 messages per day are allowed per subscriber.
Note! Terms vary depending on the operator.
How to connect voicemail
Activating such a voice service is quite simple. Of course, different operators offer different methods, but most often these are:
- Dial a certain combination of numbers and call the number;
- Connection via cabinet.
If we talk about the first case, it is quite simple: you need to go to the official website and look at the number by which you can connect to this service. For example, with MTS, to activate a free service, you need to call the short command *111*2919#.
The number may vary.
Any users of the operator’s network can activate this option. If we talk about the second method, then just go to your personal account on the official website and in the “Services” tab find the “Voicemail” section, set the slider to the active state and wait for the connection to be confirmed.
How to disable the service
You can also disable the service through your personal account or using a certain combination. As a rule, the first method is more popular. With MTS, just call the short number *111*2919*2# to disable the communication service.
Once disconnected, users on that wire will not be able to record their short messages with various information or requests. Since this service is free, most often there is no particular point in disabling it.
Disabling through your personal account occurs in the same way as connecting. It is enough to switch the slider to the inactive state to completely remove the service and deactivate it. This way you can control the operation of connected services.
How to check voicemail
Checking out a voice service is also important to ensure you have the knowledge and specific information about what people need. It is worth remembering that different companies provide this service in different ways. As a rule, you can check such a service in the following ways:
- Call a line at a specific number;
- By activating SMS messaging through your personal account;
- Through your personal account;
- By site;
If we look at the example of a company such as MTS, then by calling 0860 you can get all the detailed information about the presence or absence of mail. In your personal account, you can also connect a special newsletter that regulates the receipt of messages of this type.
By going to the official website, you can also get information about mail availability.
How to listen to a voice message on your phone
You can listen to it in the ways described above. If there is mail, then the number will automatically turn it on, and the name of the subscriber who sent it will also be indicated. Through your personal account, you can click on the “On” icon to activate listening.
Also, through the newsletter, you can click on the link that is attached to the SMS and listen to the information using an Internet connection.
VOICELOAD bot for downloading audio messages from VK
VOICELOAD is a special bot for downloading audio messages from VK. It can be used both in the full version of the site - on a computer, and on a phone - in the mobile version, or in the application for Android and iOS.
How to download a voice message from VK:
- Go to the VOICELOAD application community;
- Click “Open” on the main page. Then the chatbot will launch. If the VKontakte application is installed and it is selected as the main program to launch, then the application will open. If it is not there or is not selected as the main program, then the regular mobile version of the site will open. But the instructions are universal;
- You need to write anything in the chat. For example, the word "Hello". This is necessary for this chat to be displayed in the list when you click the “Share” button;
- Next, you should open the correspondence that contains the voice message that needs to be saved from VK;
- Select a message. On a computer you just need to click on it. And on the phone - press and hold for a short time;
- Click on the “Forward” button that appears;
- Select the VOICELOAD application as the recipient;
- The chatbot will instantly generate a response message containing a link to the download page. It is necessary to cross it;
- On the page that opens, wait until the 30-second timer ends. After which a link will become available where you can save the voice message from VK in mp3 format.
If you have to perform this procedure regularly and do not want to constantly wait for the timer to end, then you can pay for the bot’s services for a week, a month or 3 months. In this case, the link will be generated instantly, without delay.
It is worth noting that this is the only way to download a voice message from VK on a mobile device: phone or tablet.
The disadvantage of this method is the need to send a personal message to a third-party service.
How to set up free voicemail
Free type mail can also be configured in a certain way. That is, usually the voice function only works if the phone is turned off or simply inaccessible. You can set it up in another way - in those moments when a person is either busy or simply cannot pick up the phone.
On different websites of excellent operators you can connect polar settings. For example, at MTS, using a special combination, you can configure the “Not responding” or “Busy” modes.
Settings can also be made through your personal account or using a special combination of numbers, about which there is always information on the official website.
Some more examples of good endings
“Next time, tell me more about X.”
End the message by asking the person to tell you more about their recent vacation to Thailand or their business pain points. Such requests are perceived much better than standard requests in the style of “Call me back, I’d really like to know when we can sign our contract.”
“Next time I’d like to tell you more about X.”
This scenario will only work if you promise the lead information that will actually be of interest to him. For example, say, “Next time, I'd like to talk about two features of our product that address several of the problems you mentioned. Shall we call you on Tuesday?
Paid voicemail from telecom operators
The paid function has advanced functionality. Most often, it is needed precisely by those people who often do not answer phone calls and at the same time have many responsibilities, which they are informed about directly over the phone. Such users most often connect to this type of service.
It doesn't have many advantages. As a rule, the standard set of the extended version is as follows:
- Longer storage period for unheard messages;
- Longer storage period for listened messages;
- Increased message length; More messages per user;
- Setting up conditions is free;
- Listening not only through the telephone, but also through other means of communication provided by the company;
- The person can record an additional greeting.
Using the example of a company such as MTS, you can also consider connecting and describing a function such as paid mail. This video gives a detailed analysis
How to connect and disconnect
Connecting and disconnecting is the same. A person can connect it in the “Paid Services” section through his personal account, or he can simply dial a certain combination of numbers to connect.
For example, at MTS, to connect to the service, you can use your personal account or simply dial the short command *111*90#. The cost of such a service in this company is 2.3 rubles per day.
You can also send a simple SMS with the text “90 1” to the number 111. In this case, the service can also be activated.
Disabling occurs in a similar way. In MTS, just dial the command *111*90*2# to completely deactivate the function.
Note! Each company has its own method. Using the example of the cellular operator MTS, the algorithm is analyzed in order to better understand the topic.
How to listen
Listening is almost the same as with a paid service;
- Via a call to number 0860;
- Via MMS message;
- Through a letter that came to the specified electronic resource;
- Through various sites.
As you can see, the ability to listen directly via additional email has been added. Other methods have not changed at all.
How to setup
The setup takes place through the voice menu, which is also listed on the company’s official website. Also, the user is often configured with paid services directly through his personal account.
If we consider the MTS company, the menu on number 0860 allows you to configure all parameters, including the greeting. This is very convenient, since the user does not need to go to certain sites.

Don't record longer than 20-30 seconds
Potential clients don't want to listen to long recordings from someone whose number they're seeing for the first time, and will delete messages longer than 30 seconds almost instantly. At the same time, they also don’t take overly short entries very seriously.
Most phones display the duration of incoming voice messages. And if the recipient sees that he has received a message for a few seconds from some unfamiliar number, most often he simply deletes it.
