Description and cost of incoming and outgoing calls
We remind you that Tele2 currently does not have international roaming services that allow you to receive incoming calls for free in other countries. You can only reduce the cost of incoming calls.
Cost of connection and disconnection
- connection and disconnection of the service: 0 rub ;
- subscription fee: 5 rubles/day .
Cost of incoming calls
- One cost for all tariff plans: 5 rubles/min. no limits.
Calls are charged per minute.
For subscribers calling you, the cost does not change. They will pay the same as when calling you if you were in your home region.
Is it worth connecting from Tele2?
In most situations it is worth it. Let's take as an example the cost of incoming calls without this service (valid for all tariff plans):
- Turkey: 15 rub/min ;
- Vietnam: 65 rub/min ;
- Thailand: 35 rub/min ;
- Bulgaria: 15 rub/min ;
- Abkhazia: 35 rubles/min.
As you can see, the benefit is obvious. Without the service, the cost of incoming calls is much higher.
Cost of outgoing calls from
Borderless Conversations does not apply to outgoing calls . Therefore, the cost will be at general international roaming rates.
High tariffs make it unprofitable to make outgoing calls, so we recommend activating the service and receiving only incoming calls.
Attention ! In international roaming, Tele2 tariffs start from 1 second .
Therefore, you won’t be able to make an outgoing call for free, say “call me back” in 2 seconds and hang up. Advice:
- You can call the subscriber and immediately hang up the call. Perhaps the person will understand that they need to call you and you can accept an incoming call for 5 rubles per minute.
In international roaming, unfortunately, you cannot use the request to call you back.
Example of the cost of outgoing calls to Russia to your favorite phones:
- From Turkey: 15 rub/min ;
- From Vietnam: 65 rub/min ;
- From Thailand: 35 rubles/min ;
- From Bulgaria: 15 rubles/min ;
- From Abkhazia: 35 rubles/min.

Note ! 1 message is 80 characters in Russian letters and 160 characters in English letters. If you send one large message, it will be counted as several SMS of 80 or 160 characters. Therefore, it is more profitable to send text in Latin letters.

In addition, I will say that for Tele2 subscribers who have activated this service, as well as systematically using it abroad, the operator offers an additional discount on the subscription fee for the current tariff plan. You can check the size of the discount provided by entering a USSD request of the form *143*7# . Subscribers who meet the following requirements can count on a discount:
- Replenishing your account in a timely manner to charge the subscription fee on the appointed date;
- Those who did not change TP during the billing period;
- Those using a tariff plan that provides for a subscription fee.
Providing services to subscribers located abroad
Business trips, travel or vacations outside of Russia are not a reason to refuse communication. For these cases, Tele2 has international roaming. As in the case of the national one, its connection is automated. This applies to any tariff plans: “Orange”, “Black”, “Very Black”, “My Conversation”, etc. You need to activate roaming abroad only if this has not happened by default. The algorithm of actions is the same as for activating roaming on Tele2 in Russia: manually selecting a network.
The second reason why domestic mobile communications are not supported by roaming is the lack of agreements between Tele2 and foreign providers. A list of countries and operators is freely available online. Among them are resorts (Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Thailand, etc.), neighboring countries - a total of more than 60 countries.
To make outgoing calls with roaming enabled, you need to dial *147*+7, then the subscriber number without “8”, followed by # and press the call button. This is relevant if you call to the Russian Federation. In the case when you need to talk to someone abroad, the combination changes: *147*, then +, and then the country and city code. Finally - # and the call key.
