Description of service
So that adults do not worry where the child is, Tele2 provides two options for “Parental Control”. A free subscription, which is activated after installation, subscribers can at any time:
- view the location of the tracked phone;
- receive SMS “Call me” from the panic button;
- control the balance of the SIM card and the amount of battery charge.
After activating the panic button, adults receive a notification about the exact location on the map.
The free option connects only one number to the parent gadget for control. Paid parental control on Tele2 allows you to use 2 parental phones and track the location of up to 10 children's numbers. What can be checked:
- account status with the ability to top up the balance;
- battery level;
- applications on the gadget and sites visited;
- movement on the map and current location.
We will also consider what you can configure on your children’s smartphone from your device or through your personal account on the mobile operator’s website:
- set time limits on the use of the Internet or establish a ban on visiting specific sites;
- check your balance and top up your account;
- limit incoming calls by setting a parental blacklist;
- see the route of movement, find out the current location.
Before connecting geolocation to your child’s phone from Tele2, you must select a paid package. This means that parents will receive an automatic message if the child has crossed the established boundaries of the district or city.
What's happened ?
This option allows you to monitor the movements of children from a smartphone or computer via the Internet or from a regular phone via SMS service.
- A distinctive feature of the service is the ability to monitor children even if they have Megafon or Beeline SIM cards, but then the number of requests is limited to 100 per month.
- Depending on the devices you use, you may receive more or less information. The degree of accuracy of location determination will also differ, which should be kept in mind by subscribers connecting to the service.
The service can be managed from any available device, from a simple push-button phone to a tablet or computer. If you have an iOS or Android device, you should install the “Where are the Children” application, which will greatly facilitate the search, since you can track the child’s position on the map. Naturally, for this you will need a constant Internet connection. In addition, this way you will have access to the full functionality of the service without having to remember SMS commands.
will cost you 100 rubles per month, provided that the family group consists of three people.
Service cost
Activating the service is free, activation of a subscription with minimal functionality is available on any Tele2 number, there is no subscription fee. The cost of the extended version of Parental Control is 9 rubles. day, regardless of the tariff plan used by the subscriber.
The debit occurs daily from the parent's SIM card. If there are insufficient funds in the account to pay for an extended subscription, the option is disabled. The operator provides three free days for testing advanced functionality to subscribers in Moscow and the region.
The offer is available for PCs and smartphones using Android and iOS OS. The option is not available for devices using other software. The mobile operator continues to improve the service; information about managing Parental Control on other devices can be obtained by calling 22130 by sending an SMS with the text “Help”.
Entering ussd commands
This type of connection is the most popular among subscribers. Its essence is that in the dialing line you need to enter a special combination of numbers - *118*01#. Then wait for a notification that the service has been successfully connected, and then make a list of people who need to be monitored.
Using Geosearch from Tele2 using special commands is problematic, but can be very convenient for some subscribers.
Therefore, if you choose this option, then you should write down all the available codes on a separate piece of paper or in your phone notebook:
- *119*1*7xxxxxxxxxx#, where x is the subscriber number. If you enter the number correctly, you will receive a message in which you need to confirm your consent to tracking.
- *119# — to enter the service management menu. In the menu, you can add and remove people from the geolocator list, and you can also spy on them. If you hold down the “2” button and select the subscriber’s number, you can track his location. Clicking on “3” opens a list of all tracked numbers.
- *119*4*7хххххххххх# - to remove a subscriber from the list of monitored ones.
- *119*5# — information about the service. But if it is not enough or something is unclear, then you can always contact the hotline operator at 611 for Tele2 subscribers or 8 (800) 55−506−11 for calls from other telecom operators.
- *119*0# - this combination is intended to cancel all previously confirmed permissions for tracking via radar. After entering this code, no one will be able to track your location.
Connection rules

In this case, adults will be able to minimally control the children’s phone and receive data about its last location. Connection and initial setup of “Parental Control”:

The option “find out where is my child now?”
So, you have chosen a tariff that is suitable specifically for your child. Tele2 proposes to make it even more similar to “Children’s”. To do this, you can use services that allow you to always and everywhere be aware of the whereabouts of your daughters and sons.
Geosearch, which costs three rubles per day, allows you to be aware of the child’s location in Moscow and throughout the Russian Federation. To connect it, just dial a simple combination: Whoops! It looks like you forgot to specify your html tag. *119*01# , to disconnect: Whoops! It looks like you forgot to specify your html tag. *119*00# .

Please note that many of the above tariffs allow children to access the Internet. If you decide that they don’t need it, you can go to a phone shop, where they will turn it off.
How to add a number
The expanded functionality of Parental Control allows you to keep your child as safe as possible in the city. Using the service, you can view the history of his movement along the streets with the exact time, and protect him from unwanted information on the Internet. Children's Internet Tele2 will not allow a child to bypass parental blocking and enter the network through new applications.
You can quickly check your geolocation at any time. Information is on the website deti.tele2.ru or the “My Children” application. Setting up and connecting a child's SIM card on the parent's smartphone as part of an extended subscription in steps:
- Select the “Advanced” package and open the “Activity” section.
- Click “Add”, enter the phone number, gender, date of birth, name in the field, and upload a photo.
- You can add up to 10 children. Each child's SIM card number is confirmed separately via SMS.
- In the confirmation field, enter the code that came to the controlled SIM card.
After connecting, all information will be available in the “Family” section. Using a paid service, you can connect a SIM card to a second adult family member, even if he does not use Tele2 mobile communications, but is a client of another operator. In the “Administrator” section you need to add a second number and confirm activation. The operator will duplicate all SMS and forward the information to a second person.
The same is true for adding a number via a PC on the operator’s website. In the “Services” section, select the “Parental Control” option, basic or advanced functionality, and connect. If you need to control the baby’s location from a PC, then when activating the service, the number is confirmed by a code that comes to his phone.
What information is available to you?
If your child has a regular cell phone, then his location will be tracked through cell towers. In this case, the permissible error in the city center will be up to 300 meters, and outside the city it can reach 2-3 kilometers. This is a common standard for determining location across networks. From regular mobile phones, you also have access to information about your balance and receive periodic notifications about your child’s movements when he leaves pre-set geo-zones (for example, “SCHOOL”, “TUTOR”). Management is carried out using SMS sent to number 7788.
If a child walks with a smartphone, then the error in determining the location will be much smaller thanks to the use of GPS. In addition, you will always know what battery charge it has, and also have statistics and control of applications on your smartphone via the Internet. All this will become possible by downloading the “Children’s Smartphone” application to the child’s device. But for this, the child will have to be transferred to MTS if he had another operator.
Tracking by phone
The Tele2 service for children allows parents to track the location of the phone using an interactive map in expanded access with a paid subscription. If the free option is selected, then adults will be able to see where the student is only after he presses the panic button.
Advanced features provide the option to track geolocation at any time. To do this, choose one of three options:
- Dial *119*children's number# .
- Go to the “My Children” application.
- Go to your personal PC account on the company’s official website.

In a limited profile, a parent can choose the apps, content, and features that are visible to their child while they are logged into the account.
Deactivating the function
By activating the offer and choosing a free subscription, the company guarantees that in case of any positive balance, its connection with the child’s phone will not be interrupted. If you choose extended access to the service, you must constantly monitor your phone account. When the minimum amount remains on the balance, the operator notifies you of the need to replenish so that paid subscriptions do not stop.
You can disable the option yourself using the command *119*00# . is automatically disabled, data about tracking objects is deleted. When reconnecting, you must re-enter information about children and, if necessary, connect a second administrator.
Tariffs for children
When choosing a tariff for your child from the diverse range available from Tele2, you should pay attention to how old your child is, what gadget he uses, what services he needs from those offered, plus your own wishes as a caring mother and father. Let's look at each one. Older children can connect to any available tariff. But for even very young children, we offer to choose from the 3 tariffs presented below:
- "Classical". Yes, it is not cheap, but it does not provide free megabytes, for which you are expected to pay a certain amount. A child of primary school age does not often make phone calls and they are also short-lived.
- "My conversation." Offers free minutes within the network and for calls to subscribers of other operators and megabytes. It is suitable for children of different ages who call not only family members and use the Internet. For children who call users of an identical operator. It does not provide unlimited communication with other operators; calling is only profitable within the network.
- “Everywhere online.” If your child often surfs the Internet, then this tariff is perfect for this matter. A package with 40 gigabytes is enough for a schoolchild.
Pros and cons of the service
The advantages of the service are obvious, since safety increases significantly if the child is under supervision. Established restrictions on movement allow adults to always be aware of which route he is moving and how much money is in his mobile phone account. Additional advantages include:
- the ability to quickly connect to the service;
- set two parent numbers;
- control Internet browsing.
The disadvantages of the service include the fact that the option is only available for devices that use the Android and iOS operating systems.
By joining the offer and installing “Parental Control” on your children’s phone, you will take care of their safety, since parents cannot always accompany their children while moving around the city. It is also necessary to control visits to sites, since only an adult can see the danger of some resources.
Children's tariffs from Tele2
Perhaps every parent of a child who has already mastered the use of mobile communications has wondered whether Tele2 has a tariff intended for children.
There is an alternative! Not so long ago, the children's tariff at Tele2 was and was popular. It was inexpensive and provided for every little detail, for example, incoming calls were not blocked for a small subscriber, even if there were no funds in his account. At that time it was convenient and profitable. However, now there are tariffs that include free minutes, megabytes and SMS messages, which are much more profitable. Thus, the “Children's tariff” was written off, and it was replaced by new tariffs that never cease to please subscribers.
Is there a child rate?
Indeed, several years ago Tele2, like other cellular providers, had a special “Children’s” tariff: with per-second billing, inexpensive (1.5 rubles/min) calls within the network at that time and the ability to go into the red (up to -50 RUR) without blocking incoming calls.
True, it was not available throughout Russia. Once upon a time this was a really advantageous Tele2 tariff for a child, but offers of this kind are not relevant today, because most products are much cheaper. Thus, today unlimited calls are provided for on-network calls, and packages of free minutes are provided for other operators (once exhausted, 1.5 - 1.95 rubles per minute). Therefore, “Children’s” has been closed for connection for a long time (more than one year ago) and moved to the archive. You can find out what other tariff plans are available on Tele2 in a separate article on our website.
