Unlimited social networks from Tele2 - review of tariffs

Today, most mobile operators are trying to provide their customers with, if not completely unlimited Internet, then at least in some services and applications.

In the case of Tele2, you can get endless traffic to social networks and messengers. This feature is included both in some tariff plans and as an additional service for an additional fee.

We invite you to consider this topic in detail, the available offers, as well as connection instructions.

Which Tele2 tariffs include unlimited social networking?

Tariff plans with a built-in option include:

• “Everywhere online.” Includes unlimited calls to Tele2 numbers, 500 free minutes to numbers of other operators, 40 GB of traffic and complete unlimited use of social networks and instant messengers. Cost – 500 rubles per month.
• "Mine is online." The conditions are the same, but the traffic is reduced to 15 GB. Monthly payment – ​​400 rubles.
• "My online+". The package of minutes has been increased to 800, and traffic to 30 GB. Unlimited on social networks. The subscription fee is 700 rubles per month.

Tariffs with subscription fee.

Almost all tariffs with a monthly fee in Tele2 have Internet packages. But on My Online and My Online+, in addition to this, unlimited access to social networks is also enabled by default. To receive it, subscribers do not need to take any additional actions: the options are activated immediately, and their cost is already included in the subscription fee. So you can simply activate the SIM card and start using it!

Unlimited social networks are available by default on the My Online and My Online+ tariffs, as well as on the Social tariff plan. It can be connected to other packages using additional services.

On My Conversation and My Tele2 tariffs you can also enable this function, but for this you will have to perform additional steps. You can activate the service for a particular social network in your personal account or using combinations, and also use the settings of a tariff plan, connecting social networks and instant messengers in batches at once. The second option looks more convenient.

At what tariffs is unlimited access to social networks additionally activated?

The mobile operator offers 2 tariff plans with the ability to connect unlimited social networks at the client’s request:

• "My Tele2". Free calls to subscribers of this operator and 5 GB of traffic. Daily payment 7 rubles.
• "My conversation." 250 minutes for calls with subscribers of other operators and 10 GB of traffic. The cost is 150 rubles per month.

Unlimited social networking is optionally available for the listed options. Suitable for clients who prioritize calls and instant messengers over using the Internet in general.

Since the option is not included in the tariff, the cost is calculated differently. Details are shown in the table:

The client has the right to independently choose a specific set of services, so the final cost will vary. For example, when connecting the entire package on the “My Tele2” tariff, the monthly fee is 150 rubles.

The data provided is current for 2021 for Moscow and the Moscow region. You can select your region and check the cost on the official website.

Description of MTS

If the majority of the user’s time spent on the Internet is spent on social networks, then he can use this service and a tariff plan with a minimum traffic limit. The complete absence of megabytes provided is not recommended, since the device requires Internet access to automatically update components and ensure correct operation of applications.

Unlimited access is provided for all popular social networks and messaging services, namely:

Important! Unlimited does not apply to watching videos on YouTube, and you will also need paid Internet traffic to go to third-party sites, for example, to view news or articles.

If the subscriber requires unlimited access, he can use the Tariffishche tariff plan, or connect. There is a special option for those who like to watch videos on YouTube (Unlimited on YouTube) - it allows you to do this in unlimited mode.

When is internet consumed on social networks?

Scenarios for traffic consumption in social networks and instant messengers in order of increasing volume:

• sending and receiving text messages;
• viewing pages and user accounts;
• sending and receiving voice messages;
• viewing and downloading images;
• listening to music;
• watching videos and live broadcasts.

When the unlimited option is active, all of the above actions do not affect the reduction of traffic in the main package. Now about the functions that consume the Internet even when connected:

• uploading content via external links (for example, to a news site or a YouTube video);
• using a proxy server and traffic compression options;
• communication via voice or video (not to be confused with voice messages and live broadcasts);
• when located in the Republic of Crimea, Sevastopol or Norilsk.

Terms of service

The default option is included in the package of services on the “Smart Zabugorishche” and “My Unlimited” tariff plans and is provided free of charge. Users of other tariffs can connect “VSet” independently.

Attention! The “Hype” and “MTS Tablet” tariff plans do not support this option; activation is not available for these subscribers.

It is important to understand the difference in the content used. When listening to music uploaded to VKontakte, traffic is not counted. But when watching a video embedded from the YouTube website, you will be charged as if you were switching to a third-party resource.

The Internet terms of use are relevant only for full versions of the websites of the mentioned social networks/messengers and their official mobile applications. Unlimited does not apply when accessing social networks through a browser in Incognito mode or data compression.

Negative reviews

The MTS “Online” option also has negative reviews. Subscribers have this to say about it:

1. Due to the fact that modern mobile gadgets regularly update various applications and widgets (for example, the weather on the home screen or exchange rates), traffic will be consumed in any case. Thus, in order not to pay for megabytes, you need to connect a tariff with a gigabyte package included or an additional option in addition to the already existing one. Which is not entirely profitable and convenient.
2. The MTS Connect resource was also previously free (traffic was not taken into account for using it) and it is not clear why the operator emphasizes that only with the “Online” option is unlimited use possible.
3. The service is not available for connection to the Chukotka Territory.
4. Downloading pictures from social networks, watching videos via links leading to third-party hosting sites, sending files via instant messengers (videos, pictures, documents) will still be charged.

Judging by the reviews, it has both pros and cons. We tried to list its main advantages and dissatisfaction of subscribers above.

Many subscribers will agree that this is a fairly nominal fee for access to such a number of sites.
