How to connect to the profitable “Infinitely Black” tariff

Following such leaders of the cellular operator market as the Big Three, Tele2 also carried out a large-scale implementation of 3G and 4G technology throughout Russia. This fact has led to the fact that a fairly large number of users began to switch to tariffs offering mobile Internet services. In this article, we will look at the tariff from the “Black” line.

Review of the Infinitely Black tariff from Tele2

The line of these Tele2 campaign tariffs offers its subscribers very good conditions, however, services that provide unlimited Internet and no restrictions on traffic speed are not included. Last summer, namely from August 24, 2021, the “Infinitely Black” tariff .

For subscribers who switch to this tariff plan, they offer completely unlimited Internet, which is available throughout Russia within the Tele2 networks. Additionally, a package of minutes is included for unlimited communication to all Tele2 numbers, and an additional package of minutes for calls to all mobile numbers of third-party operators both in the home region and throughout the country and SMS. Let's figure it out, everything is as good as the mobile operator promises us in the Tele2 “infinitely black” tariff.

In this article we will try to reveal all the features of the new “Infinitely Black” tariff from Tele2, we will make reference to real user reviews, connection conditions, advantages and disadvantages. Let's compare the conditions with similar tariffs from Beeline, Megafon, MTS and Yota.

Available regions

The main drawback of the offer is that the offer is not valid in all regions of Russia. Thus, it is not available to residents of Moscow and the region, as well as to subscribers of Irkutsk, Chelyabinsk, Sverdlovsk, the Republic of Adegea and the Krasnodar Territory, which also includes the Crimean Peninsula.

You can subscribe to the tariff plan in the following areas:

1. Leningradskaya.
2. Arkhangelskaya.
3. Nizhny Novgorod.
4. Belgorodskaya.
5. Kurskaya.
6. Murmanskaya.

And also in the republics of Komi, Mordovia, Karelia, Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and Chuvash.

If your region still doesn’t have the option to connect to a tariff, don’t despair. It is quite possible that the company will soon expand the geography of its operation. Thus, the tariff became available for residents of the Leningrad region only in October 2016.

Additional options

The plan involves automatic activation of a number of free options:

• Roaming abroad;
• Forwarding;
• Informer;
• Caller ID;
• USSD;
• Transfer of residues, etc.

Tele2 “Infinitely Black” is paid in full at the time of connection. Then the money is withdrawn after a month, provided there are sufficient funds in the account.

Unused balances of the package within the tariff plan are carried over to the next billing period, if it has been paid for. If there is not enough money, then until the account is topped up, the tariff is suspended, and the basic conditions begin to apply.

The offer is designed for smartphones and tablets. The provision of torrent services is limited. Additionally, network congestion can slow down mobile internet speeds.

If the SIM card is not used for four months, the funds will still be debited. Subsequently, the number may be blocked (after six months of zero or negative balance). After 120 days of inactivity, a daily subscription fee of 3 rubles begins to be charged until the account is reset or funds are credited.

Conditions

The basic package of minutes and messages depends on the area in which the tariff was activated. The subscription fee also depends on the region.

On average, Tele2 subscribers receive the following package of free options under the model:

1. Free minutes for calls within the region and to numbers within the network - 200, 250 or 300.
2. The number of free messages throughout Russia is 200, 250, 300.
3. Unlimited Internet regardless of region.

The subscription fee ranges from 290 to 385 rubles and is debited monthly from the balance. If the balance is less than the required amount, then access to the Internet is blocked and the following prices begin to apply:

• In-network calls within the region cost 1.95 per minute, within Russia – 2 rubles.
• A minute of conversation with a subscriber of other operators costs 9 rubles.

If you do not use the card for more than 4 months in a row, it is blocked and the funds are written off. In this case, it is not possible to restore the number.

To check the remainder of the package of minutes, you can use the command *155*0#.

The cost of a call to a number of another operator in excess of the selected package of minutes will be charged at 1.5 rubles per minute.

List of services included in the Infinitely Black tariff
As you already understand, the conditions offered within this tariff are quite good.
But, if you decide to switch to this tariff plan, you should first read the reviews of customers and other subscribers who have previously subscribed to the “Unlimited Black” tariff. In this review, we will try to highlight all the advantages and disadvantages in more detail and without bias.

Connection

You can connect in various ways.

1. In "Personal Account". To do this, follow the link my.tele2.ru. After authorization in the system, you must select the “Tariffs and Services” item and open the “Change Tariff” tab. Select the one you need from the drop-down list.

2. The second option is to call 630. In this case, just follow the answering machine prompts. The call is not charged.
3. Using a free request *630*5#. Then you need to confirm the action using the instructions from the mobile assistant.
4. Purchase a starter package from an operator with an already installed model. This can be done both in the operator’s salon and on the official website. In the second case, you can choose the type of card and even offer your own combination of numbers for the number.
5. If the My Tele2 application is installed on your device, you can use it to change the tariff model. To do this, open the “Tariffs” section and make your choice.

Please note that if you changed your tariff plan more than a month ago, you will not be charged for the switch. Otherwise, the fee for changing the model will be 150 rubles.

The subscription fee is charged immediately, so top up your account in advance, based on the fact that after the funds are debited, your balance should be positive.

How to top up your Tele2 account?

If it is necessary to top up the balance, Tele2 subscribers can use one of the services offered:

• put money on your phone through a self-service terminal (with a commission);
• You can top up your balance without commissions at Tele2 offices;
• The most convenient way to deposit funds into your account is through your “Personal Account” using a bank card;
• automatic debiting of funds to the account is available to all subscribers if they have a bank card (of any bank). Once linked to a bank account phone number, funds will be debited automatically when the balance approaches zero.

Disadvantages of the tariff

Despite the fact that the tariff has a number of advantages, it also has many disadvantages. We list the main ones:

1. High cost of calls above the basic package. It is worth noting that the free minutes provided are used up even if you call other Tele2 subscribers. Thus, if you talk too much on your cell phone, switching to Infinite Black is not beneficial for you.
2. If coverage is poor or there is a heavy load on the network, the Internet speed may be low. Moreover, if the operator decides that you are overloading the network, you may temporarily limit the speed of your Internet access. In some cases it may drop to 128 kbps.
3. The offer is intended for use exclusively on phones and tablets. If you decide to insert a SIM card into the modem, the data transfer speed will drop to 64 kbps.
4. There is a ban on downloading files using torrent clients. In this case, the data transfer speed also drops to a minimum.
5. The operator prohibits the use of a phone with a card as a modem or a device with a Wi-Fi distribution function. You should also expect Internet speed limits here.

Features of the Infinitely Black tariff plan from Tele2

Conditions of the Tele2 Infinitely Black tariff plan
So, having analyzed the overall package of services within the Infinitely Black tariff plan from Tele2, we can draw the following conclusion - this offer is not completely unique to the market, that is, almost all offers that are included in the tariff plan options are also available and other Big Three operators.

that Tele2 services, in order to remain on the market and compete successfully enough, are offered to subscribers slightly lower than those of other companies. Meanwhile, the quality of communication does not suffer, and is also provided at a fairly high level. However, the offer hit the market somewhat late, since Beeline, MTS and Megafon already had analogues on the market.

ATTENTION: just like with other operators, for example, as with the Megafon All Inclusive tariff, the Infinitely Black tariff plan has some restrictions.

This list includes almost all the features of the Infinitely Black tariff plan from Tele2. Which we know at the time of writing. If you want to add or change anything in the description, add comments.

Reviews about the tariff

Oksana

A great option for those who like to enjoy life. Since it was not possible to install wired Internet, I settled on this tariff. I was attracted by the price and the opportunity to constantly be on the Internet. In fact, all my expectations were met. I pay little when compared with other options and operators. The data transfer speed is excellent, everything downloads quickly, pages load in a couple of seconds. I was also pleasantly surprised that my unused minutes and messages at the end of the month are carried over to the next month. This is very convenient as it allows you to save money in the future. This is the most favorable tariff in the Tele2 line.

Igor

When I was choosing a tariff, I liked “Infinitely Black” because of two things - a relatively low subscription fee and high-speed unlimited Internet. Unfortunately, my hopes were not met. Yes, the Internet itself is unlimited, but not high-speed. Files take a long time to download, even small applications take 10-15 minutes to download, constant interruptions in the Internet. I’m generally silent about video calls using Viber. The image constantly disappears, the sound also disappears, it is impossible to communicate. To be honest, the advantages are well described, but in reality they are practically non-existent.

Svetlana

I bought a package to access the Internet via a computer. After connecting I was unpleasantly surprised. In the terms of the tariff, it was not explicitly stated anywhere that when using a modem, the speed drops to a minimum. Even my social networking pages take 15–20 minutes to load. And there is no question of downloading a file or document.

Perhaps for those who use exclusively mobile technology, this option seems profitable and convenient, but after a month of use, I am forced to abandon the package, since it is useless for me.

Price

Connection and subscription fee

Subscribers love Tele2 for its simplicity and high service, and this shows in everything. For example, you can switch to “Infinite Black” absolutely free if you have not changed your tariff plan for one month. The conditions are violated - the cost will be 150 rubles.

If you just bought a SIM card and want to switch from the “Very Black” tariff or any of the lines to another, then you need to wait 30 days and activate the TP for free, otherwise 150 rubles will be withdrawn from your account.

What to do if the Internet does not work when connecting to a tariff?

It often happens that by inserting a new SIM card into the phone, it is activated automatically and the service package immediately becomes available, but the Internet does not work. First of all, you need to check whether data transfer is turned on and turn off Wi-Fi.

If the Internet does not work, in this case it is necessary to configure the Internet. It is not required for all phones, because... automatic settings are flashed on the SIM card, but for some models it is necessary to enter addresses manually.

You can try to order automatic settings by dialing 679 and the call key from your number. To manually configure the Internet on your device, you need to specify several parameters:

• home page, it will coincide with the mobile version of the provider’s website: //m.tele2.ru;
• proxy server, it must be turned off;
• APN access point, you must enter internet.tele2.ru;
• There is no need to enter anything in the lines with the username and password, they remain empty.

For Android-based devices, other parameters are entered: TELE2 Internet – in the “name” column, internet.tele2.ru as an access point, APN type – default. Settings for your model can be requested from the operator.

After the parameters are entered, you need to restart the device (turn it off and on again).

Tele2: tariff changes and price increases in January 2020

One well-known operator did not talk about all the gifts that he prepared for the New Year for his subscribers...

Mobile operator Tele2

, no matter how regrettable it may be, followed in the footsteps of Beeline. Just yesterday I wrote that the “black and yellow” decided to publish important information in an old news story, but it turned out that Tele2 did the same.

“Information for users of archived tariffs” was added to the news about the update of the “My Tele2” line dated November 29, 2019. It’s worth noting right away that I looked at the news in 20 regions of Russia - changes are expected everywhere except Moscow and the region. At least for the moment. Update

: changes have been published for Moscow and the region.
