The mobile operator offers affordable tariffs that will satisfy the needs of each subscriber. The conditions will be appreciated by both active Internet users and those who want to communicate more often by phone. Almost all tariffs for Novosibirsk provided on the official Tele2 website can be customized by users depending on their needs.
Tariff “Classic”
If we go to the tariffs section on the official Tele2 website, we will see an impressive list of all-inclusive tariffs - at the moment there are 12 of them, including a custom tariff, when the subscriber independently selects the required number of minutes and calls.
And only after the list of package tariffs can you see “Classic” and its per-second version - and these are the only tariffs without a monthly fee for voice communications as of spring 2021. Here are the main characteristics of the “Classic”:
- Subscription fee - 0 rub.;
- Billing is per minute;
- Calls to Tele2 in your home region - 0 rub. when connecting to the “Unlimited on Tele2” service;
- Calls to local numbers - 2.50 rubles. in a minute;
- Calls to Tele2 long-distance numbers - RUB 3.00. in a minute;
- Calls to any other numbers in Russia - 9.00 rubles. in a minute;
- SMS to numbers in your home region - 1.50 rubles;
- SMS to any number in Russia - 2.50 rubles;
- SMS to international operators - 5.50 rubles.
As you can see, the tariff is quite profitable for everyday communication, and if you activate the “Unlimited on Tele2” service, then calls to other local Tele2 subscribers become completely free.
Unlimited on Tele2
The daily subscription fee for the service is 5 rubles, the first connection is free, subsequent ones also cost 5 rubles. To manage the service, you are asked to log into your personal account, and it is even easier to manage it through USSD commands on your phone.
- Connection * 155 * 411 * 1 # ;
- Disable * 155 * 411 * 0 # ;
- Check status * 155 * 411 #.
The service is valid only in the home region; when traveling outside of it, calls are charged at regular rates (RUB 2.50). If there is not enough money on your balance at the time of debiting, calls will also cost RUB 2.50. in a minute.
The “Classic” tariff plan is not very suitable for international calls; their price is quite high:
- For CIS countries - 35 rubles. in a minute;
- In Europe and the Baltic countries - 55 rubles. in a minute;
- For the rest of the world - 75 rubles. in a minute.
The tariff is suitable for those who do not need internet. And also for those who call rarely and mainly within the network. The tariff parameters apply when traveling within Russia, except for the Republic of Crimea. This means that even when leaving your home region, all calls to any local numbers will cost only 2.50 rubles. in a minute.
Services for a tariff without a subscription fee
When purchasing a SIM card, long-distance and international roaming, call forwarding, and call waiting services are automatically activated free of charge. Voice mail, caller ID and the “I'm in touch” service work - notification of subscribers who called while the owner of the smartphone was out of range. In order to find out who called you while the device was turned off or out of the access zone, the “Who called” option is offered - on the “Classic” tariff plan without a monthly fee it costs only 60 kopecks. in a day. To manage the option, use the commands:
- Connection * 155 * 331 # ;
- Disable * 155 * 330 # ;
- Check status * 155 * 33 # .
Although “Classic” is a tariff without a subscription fee and without the Internet, its owners can use the network if necessary. With a simple USSD command you can connect 1 GB of Internet for a month, it will cost 6 rubles. in a day. If you consume more than twenty megabytes per day, the package is activated automatically. If there is not enough money in the account, Internet access is suspended. When the main traffic of 1 GB ends, additional packages of 500 MB will be automatically connected, each of which costs 50 rubles. Payment for them is debited upon activation.
As soon as 5 packages run out in a row, Internet access is terminated until the end of the month. The “Classic” tariff is sold without the Internet; when you need to go online, you need to activate the service:
- Connection * 155 * 551 # ;
- Disable * 155 * 550 # ;
- Check status * 155 * 55 # .
Connection to unlimited Internet Tele 2 for 5 rubles per day
There is one more option. By connecting it, you can visit your favorite sites and social networks from your phone for a small fee. This option is called: Unlimited Internet Opera Mini on Tele2.
The name suggests that you install the Opera Mini application on your smartphone and use it when accessing the Internet. Payment, as already mentioned, is 5 rubles per day. Moreover, the first activation of the option is free, and all subsequent ones (if you disabled it) will cost 20 rubles. The following combinations are used to manage this service:
- connection - *155*11#;
- shutdown - *155*10#;
- function status - *155*1#.
Tele2 per second tariff
Another tariff offer of the operator without mandatory payment is “Classic (per second)”. A feature of the tariff, and a difference from the basic version, is per-second payment for calls. This allows you to pay only for the airtime actually used. These voice payment terms are an ideal solution for those who make short calls.
It is worth considering that per-second payment applies only to local calls - the cost of a second is five kopecks, and a full minute is 3.00 rubles. Also, the tariffs have the same cost for long-distance calls - any call on the Tele2 network in Russia is charged at 3.00 rubles. per minute, and for other operators for 9.00 rubles. in a minute. You can switch to a tariff plan with per-second payment for local calls through your personal account on the operator’s website, in the “My Tele2” application, or by dialing the command * 630 * 16 # from your phone.
Activating the function
The subscriber can find out how to connect to the Tele2 Day network; this function can be used not only on a smartphone. The service is available on a desktop computer, tablet and laptop. The function is provided to users for a day, after which unused traffic is burned. The megabytes provided are enough to check your email, access social applications and send a letter. The client receives 250 MB per day. If this amount is spent before the end of the day, then 2 rubles will be charged for each megabyte.
The option can be activated in any region of the country. After connection, 15 rubles will be withdrawn from the subscriber’s balance at a time. Advantages include the fact that the fee is charged only once after activation. The provided megabytes will be debited from the account after 24 hours if the client does not spend them playing for money during this time. This option is suitable for those subscribers who do not use megabytes every day.
- note
- If a client is looking for a way to connect “Day on the Network” on Tele2, then he can use the code command *155*161#, which is dialed on a mobile phone. You can refuse the option you are using by entering the cell code *155*160#. If a client wants to check how many megabytes are available to him, he can use the dial *155*16#.
Tele2 tariffs with Internet
Although in this review we are interested in Tele2 tariffs for a phone without the Internet, where you can only make calls and send messages, for a complete picture we will look at the operator’s other offers.
Tele2 has moved away from the famous color line of tariffs (“Orange”, “Black”, “Very Black”, etc.). Now the tariff line looks like this:
- Light - 10 GB of traffic and unlimited on Tele2 Russia for 12 rubles. in a day;
- My conversation - 6 GB of traffic and 200 minutes of calls to any local mobile numbers, plus unlimited calls to Tele2 Russia numbers, and all this is always for 300 rubles. per month;
- My online - 15 GB of traffic and 500 minutes of calls to any numbers in Russia, plus unlimited calls to Tele2 numbers in Russia, subscription fee at a rate of 400 rubles. per month;
- My online+ - as much as 50 GB of Internet, 800 minutes of calls, unlimited calls to Tele2 numbers for a subscription fee of 600 rubles. per month;
- Everywhere online - 40 GB, 500 minutes to Russian numbers, 50 SMS for a monthly subscription fee of 500 rubles;
- Unlimited is an ideal solution for those who are not used to limiting their Internet use. Unlimited data transfer, 500 minutes and 50 SMS for 800 rubles per month;
- Premium - unlimited Internet and calls to Tele2 numbers in Russia, 2000 minutes and 500 SMS to Russian numbers for 1800 rubles.
Comparing with the “Big Three” operators, you can be sure that Tele2 today really has the cheapest prices for package tariffs.
Roaming My unlimited
Tele2, as a modern operator, refuses roaming in Russia. You can freely call and send SMS to other regions. There are also no restrictions on your location: if you are outside your home area, you will not be charged additional funds.
However, international roaming has not gone away. Calls and messages to other countries are charged separately from the prepaid package. Moreover, the cost of such communication is quite high. This situation is completely corrected by the Internet: you can use instant messengers for international communication. This will not result in additional charges. You can send messages, make voice and video calls for free.
Summary
Those who are interested in Tele2 tariffs without a monthly fee and without the Internet, only for calls and SMS, will be able to find only two tariffs in the operator’s portfolio - “Classic” and its version with per-second payment for calls. The conditions for the first one are very favorable: calls to any local numbers cost 2.50 rubles. per minute, and you can communicate with Tele2 subscribers for free and without restrictions if you activate the unlimited service for 5 rubles. in a day. The second tariff is for those who call a lot, but the conversations are short. Local calls will cost 3.00 rubles per minute of conversation with per-second billing.
Advantages and disadvantages
My unlimited Tele2 turned out to be interesting with its pros and cons. It has quite a few positive aspects:
- completely unlimited internet;
- unlimited calls within the network;
- a large package of minutes, available for landline numbers;
- absolutely no roaming within the country;
- “Share gigabytes” option.
However, at the same time it has some minor disadvantages:
- it is impossible to transfer the remaining minutes and messages to the next month;
- Wi-Fi cannot be distributed;
- It is impossible to download torrent files.
For the average user, these restrictions do not cause much inconvenience. The need to share the Internet and download torrent files on a smartphone is extremely rare.
A more optimal view of the offer can be obtained by comparing with competitors. First of all, the cost of the tariff from Tele2 is lower than that of competitors with a similar package. MTS, for example, has a limit on Internet use outside the home network of 500 MB per day. “My Unlimited” has no such prohibitions.
An SMS package is also worth considering. MTS has a package of as many as 500 messages, while Beeline’s similar tariff generally does not provide them. Tele2 offers a more optimal volume.
The main indicator of the quality of a mobile operator is direct communication. In large cities there are no network difficulties, but if you often visit less populated areas, you should pay attention to the coverage map. In such an area, any operator may have unstable communications. However, good coverage can ensure uninterrupted network operation.
Unlimited Opera mini
As part of this service, subscribers can use the mobile Internet unlimitedly. However, there are certain conditions; unlimited access to resources is provided only if the official Opera Mini browser is used. When connecting to such a tariff, traffic is not charged at all. You can chat on social networks, chat in instant messengers, or view email completely free of charge.
It is worth considering that when you click on third-party links, traffic is paid according to the terms of the activated tariff. You will have to pay to view videos and photos on third-party resources. If the subscriber uses file hosting services, then the Internet speed may be lower than advertised.
This service is fully compatible with all Tele2 tariffs. It can be connected throughout Russia, with the exception of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. The subscription fee is 4.50 rubles per day.
To activate the service, dial the combination *155*11#. To deactivate, dial *155*10#.
