Win mobile offers
Win mobile offers several interesting options. For vacationers, the “By the Sea” tariff is suitable. Its features: incoming calls are not charged, outgoing calls are 3 rubles. per minute, Internet - 10 rubles. for 100 MB.
If you are only interested in the Internet, the Fast and the Furious tariff is suitable. Its cost is 400 rubles. in 30 days. 15 GB will be provided.
It is quite difficult to purchase Tele2 and MTS SIM cards in the Republic. There are practically no official offices in the region; they are only in Simferopol and Sevastopol. SIM cards are usually sold by hand. Finding Win Mobile offices is also not easy; they are located in large cities.
So, national roaming disappeared throughout Russia, but it did not affect the territory of Crimea. For 4 years now, the Republic has belonged to the Russian Federation, but the terms of service from Tele2 remain special. Operators are afraid of sanctions.
The situation is gradually improving. From February 15, 2021, incoming calls to Tele2 in Crimea cost only 1 rub. The new condition will be available to all subscribers, without connecting to additional services.
If you want to receive calls on Tele2 for free, you should use it. Its subscription fee is 6 rubles. in a day. However, in this case, outgoing calls will cost 5 rubles, not 3 rubles. in 60 seconds.
The requirements of the Federal Antimonopoly Organization are such that the cost of calls to the Russian Federation should not change. In practice, the situation is different. However, reports are increasingly appearing in the media that the problem will soon be resolved. This will happen by mid-2018.
How to connect, disconnect and check the status of services
All options are connected through the subscriber’s personal account on the Tele2 website (registration instructions) or the My Tele2 smartphone application, but if you prefer USSD commands, here they are:
| Option name | How to connect | How to disable | How to check status |
| "Easy Internet on the Peninsula" | *143*61# | *143*60# | *143*6# |
| "Internet on the Peninsula" | *143*51# | *143*50# | *143*5# |
| "Unlimited messengers on the peninsula" | *143*54*1# | *143*54*0# | *143*54# |
Tariffing of calls and SMS on the territory of the republic
If a subscriber does not want to connect a special service for Crimea, then the price for cellular communications for him will be as follows:
- incoming calls are free;
- outgoing - 3 rubles per minute;
- SMS - 3 rubles.
After the cancellation of roaming in Russia, Tele2 reduced prices for the Crimean peninsula. In 2021, communication prices were higher - 5 rubles/min for any calls (incoming and outgoing) and 3.5 rubles for SMS. Since the June roaming law came into force, incoming calls are free.
Eventually
“Easy Internet on the Peninsula” is suitable for those who do not go online often and want to save about 17% of the standard cost of Tele2 mobile traffic in Crimea for 6 ₽ per day. If you spend more than 12 MB per day, then the daily subscription fee will pay off
“Internet on the Peninsula” is virtually unlimited, albeit with a speed limit. Those who can’t live without a network don’t mind giving away 300₽ a day.
“Unlimited messengers on the peninsula” is, for me, the most convenient option. On vacation you need to relax, not surf the Internet, but at the same time you have the opportunity to communicate normally.
Mobile Internet - prices and tariffs
will not be valid in the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol .
For any tariff plan, an additional connection , allowing active Internet users to significantly reduce travel costs.
The connection cost is 36 ₽ , the daily subscription fee for using the service is 6 ₽ . When connecting, 36 ₽ and the fee for the first day are debited at the same time.
Note! The subscription fee will be charged until the service is disconnected. Therefore, when leaving Crimea, you must disable the service using the USSD request *143"60# to avoid additional costs.
How the connection works
It is difficult to ensure a stable connection through roaming. Many subscribers complain about the low speed of LTE from Tele2. Despite this, the cellular communications of the Tele2 operator on the peninsula have a large unofficial service area. Officially, the Republic of Crimea is not included in Tele2’s coverage area, however, the operator fulfills its obligations to subscribers. You can reach or call from almost any part of Tavrida. It is worth noting that in 2021, Tele2 communications in the region, according to subscriber reviews, worked worse than in the previous year.
Tele 2 roaming: tariffs in Russia
Not all yoghurts are equally healthy, and Tele2 tariffs are not all profitable for travel, even if in general they please subscribers of this operator. Does Tele2 have such roaming in Russia so as not to spend too much on the road? Yes, and on rather pleasant terms. Thus, today the optimal products are those with preferential roaming conditions.
There are only five of them:
- My Tele2.
- My Conversation.
- My Online.
- My Online+.
- My Online Ultra.
Preferential conditions mean no charges for incoming calls and a reduction (in some regions significant) in the cost of outgoing calls if you travel within Russia. And the benefits here are significant. See for yourself:
| Basic conditions | Preferential conditions | ||
| Inbox | 5 r./min. | Inbox | For free |
| Outgoing | 5 r./min. | Outgoing | 2 – 5 rubles/min., or spent from the package of minutes |
Briefly on the topic For traveling around Russia, the tariffs “My Tele2”, “My Conversation”, “My Online” and “My Online+” and “My Online Ultra” are suitable. Incoming calls to them are free, and outgoing calls, depending on the region of registration, will cost 2-5 rubles. per minute, or will be deducted from the package of minutes.
We cannot give exact rates for calls within Russia to Tele2 discussed in our article. This is due to the fact that each region has its own prices. You can find out the basic roaming parameters for your tariff by sending USSD commands: travel within Russia - *146*1#, travel abroad - *146*3#; You can find out preferential rates for a specific area by setting your location on the site and opening one of the products.
