Many mobile operators already provide their users with offers with unlimited Internet traffic. In October 2021, “My Unlimited” appeared from Tele2 with similar conditions. This review will help you understand the conditions and features of the tariff. You can compare the Tele2 package with offers from other operators and choose the best option for yourself.
My unlimited from Tele2
A prepaid package of Internet, calls and messages is provided for a subscription fee. Other services, except free ones, will not work on the SIM card initially.
The tariff plan appeared as a response to other operators that already offer unlimited Internet. It took into account the mistakes of other providers and added its own Tele2 features.
The main feature of the tariff is unlimited Internet traffic. The previous offer provided unlimited access to social networks and instant messengers, but a certain amount of GB was allocated for other resources. “My Unlimited” does not limit the use of the Internet in any way, regardless of the site.
What services are included in the tariff plan?
The tariff plan includes the following free services included in the default package:
- Informer
If the user was unable to reach the subscriber, he will learn about the attempts made by receiving an SMS message with the corresponding content from the operator.
- Voice mail
The subscriber can listen to voice messages from those who could not reach him. Information is stored for 20 days.
- Caller ID
The service assumes that the subscriber sees the caller's number. It is available to all users by default, even with a negative balance.
- Access to content
The subscriber gets the opportunity to subscribe to Internet portals to download files, multimedia, and watch entertainment materials.
- Who called
After the connection is restored, the user who was unavailable receives messages about the calls received during this period, their number and time. SMS notifications are stored for delivery within 24 hours, after which they are automatically deleted.
Price
The subscription fee depends on the home region, varies from 300 to 700 rubles. For example, My unlimited Tele2 in Moscow will cost 650 rubles per month. All regions are provided with 500 minutes for calls. Look at the price on the official Tele2 website, it is constantly changing.
All services according to the tariff are provided at the indicated cost. There are no hidden or additional fees. If necessary, you can add calls and SMS to the tariff. 50 minutes of calls or 100 messages per month cost 50 rubles. These services also operate throughout the Russian Federation, regardless of region. They can be activated either together or separately. If you do not have enough communication volume, then this solution will be more profitable than paying for calls and messages after using up the package.
Prepaid minutes are valid in the Russian Federation, but calls to foreign countries are paid separately at a different rate:
- CIS – 30 rub;
- Europe – 49 rubles;
- other countries – 69 rubles;
- satellite communication – 399 rub.
If there are insufficient funds in your account at the time of subscription payment, you will be temporarily transferred to the basic tariff plan. Internet, calls and SMS will be provided in accordance with its terms and conditions. After the required amount is credited, you will begin to receive again.
In which regions of the country can the service be activated?
As of 2021, the Tele2 “Unlimited” tariff is valid in 70 regions of Russia. Its coverage areas are:
- the central part of the country (Moscow, Smolensk, Lipetsk, Tula, Oryol, Ivanovo regions, etc.);
- northern regions (Arkhangelsk, Norilsk);
- Far East (Primorye, Kamchatka, Magadan, Sakhalin region, Jewish Autonomous region);
- Siberia (Tyumen region, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug).
The offer does not apply to the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol. Services are also not available in some other regions, for example, in Khabarovsk.
Important! To find out if the tariff plan is valid in your region, check the information on the operator’s official website or call the hotline.
Service package for subscription fee
The subscription fee, in addition to unlimited Internet, provides 500 minutes of calls throughout Russia. Incoming calls and conversations within the Tele2 network are not charged, regardless of the region. In addition, they remain free even after the full package of minutes is spent. 50 SMS are also provided to phones of any operators. This small amount is compensated by unlimited Internet. Given the great popularity of social networks and instant messengers, SMS messages may not be needed at all.
Without a subscription fee, Tele2 My Unlimited provides the options “SOS package” and “Share gigabytes”. Also available under the same conditions as other tariff plans.
Are there any restrictions for subscribers?
The subscription fee does not include calls to numbers of entertainment services (charged at 200 rubles per minute), mms messages to Russian numbers (cost 5 rubles per 1 piece) and outgoing international calls (the price depends on the country in which you are located). second subscriber).
If the user is going on a trip to Crimea and Sevastopol, he needs to consider that:
- incoming calls remain free;
- the cost of outgoing calls becomes 3 rubles/min.;
- one SMS message will cost 3 rubles;
- the price of Internet traffic will be 3 rubles/MB (this is very expensive, be careful).
Special conditions apply for Norilsk and Taimyr: Internet connection speed is limited to 128 Kb/sec.
Internet distribution at a new tariff
Distributing Internet traffic is prohibited. This applies to all transmission methods: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or USB. The SIM card can only be used in smartphones and tablets. It will not work in a modem. Thus, you will not be able to use the Internet at the tariff on any other devices except your own.
Despite the fact that WiFi distribution is not available on Tele2 My Unlimited, it can still be done. Due to imperfect security, it is possible to distribute the Internet by bypassing restrictions, but this is not entirely legal. This is done by replacing TTL indicators. If the operator notices suspicious activity, he can suspend the connection. However, in practice this does not happen often.
Also, the new tariff has a restriction on downloading torrent files.
However, Tele2 has the “Share gigabytes” option. It allows one subscriber to transfer traffic to another as part of their prepaid package. Considering the unlimited Internet on the My Unlimited tariff, you can help out a friend for free if he runs out of traffic. However, this feature is limited to transferring no more than 30 GB per month and 5 GB per day. Such traffic will be valid for the subscriber for 7 days. It can be extended up to 30 days for 50 rubles, regardless of the number of gigabytes. One way or another, this is a great opportunity to help a loved one.
Opera mini
If you enable this option, then all traffic that you spend in the Opera mini browser will not be charged, regardless of what exactly you are doing - reading news, watching movies or chatting with friends. At the same time, all other actions outside this browser, such as viewing mail, downloading files or using other mobile applications, will be charged according to the tariff plan or connected options.

How to switch to My Unlimited
Let's look at My Unlimited Tele2: how to connect new and existing subscribers.
New subscriber
If you do not yet use Tele2 services, then you will need to purchase a SIM card or switch with your number. The operator is very loyal to new users, so this process is as convenient as possible. This can be done at any service office or on the official website. You can place an order on the tariff page. To do this, click “Connect to Tele2”, select a new number or transfer the old one, and then “Place an order”. You will be redirected to a page where you will need to enter your details and confirm the operation. You can pick up the SIM card in person at a salon convenient for you or order delivery by courier. It is free and completed within 1-3 business days.
The SIM card itself is free, but you will need to pay the first month's subscription fee right away.
Current subscriber
For those who already use Tele2 services, the transition is easier.
Connect in your personal account on the website, in the mobile application or using the USSD command to connect - *630*15# .
The transition is free if you have not changed your tariff within the last month. However, you will also need to pay the subscription fee in full.
How to connect
To connect to the service, you can use several options:
- A quick and easy method is to use the service tag. To do this, enter *155*411*1# on your phone and press the call button.
- The service is no less easily activated through your personal account or mobile application. You need to register and log in to the system. In the main menu, go to the section with services and tariff plans, select “Unlimited” and press the connect button on the number.
- Using the voice menu or through a “live” operator. In any case, you need to call 611 and activate using an automatic informant or call an operator who will remotely activate the option.
- Contact the manager of the Tele2 communication store.
After using any method, an SMS report about a successful connection is sent to the number. The subscriber can independently check the status of the option by requesting *155*411#.
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.
How to disable
If the service needs to be disabled, you can use the same methods:
- Enter your request to *155*411*0# and make a call.
- Use your personal account or mobile application to quickly disconnect.
- Contact support by calling 611 for help.
- Personally go to the Tele2 salon in your city, take a passport or other identity documents.
After deactivation, an SMS will be sent to the number containing information about successful deactivation.
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.
Tariff description
As the name implies, subscribers servicing this tariff will be freed from the need to count the remaining megabytes in their package. You are free to do what you want - watch videos, surf social networks, make video calls, download movies and applications.
But... There is always a “But”. In the tariff conditions there is a footnote that if there is too much load on the network, the data transfer speed cannot be guaranteed.
What does this mean in practice? Since there are no exact descriptions of what “heavy load” means and why the speed will not be guaranteed – that is, to what values it will drop – you will have to turn to the experience of users of the “Unlimited” tariff.
According to user experience, everything happens as follows. If the system thinks that you have reached a certain megabyte limit within a specified time, it will automatically reduce your speed to very low. At the same time, Internet access is not interrupted - the speed just drops very much. This is probably done in order to exclude the possibility of using the phone as a modem or Wi-Fi router - after all, Tele2 has separate offers for this.
The described scheme is based on reviews from the Internet, and, of course, there is no confirmation on the company’s official website. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided.
It is clear that the description of the tariff clearly states: it should only be used to work on smartphones or tablets - but not on computers or on a phone as a Wi-Fi router. But the system cannot always understand exactly what is creating “high network load” - after all, modern phones can also easily download huge files at high speeds. Therefore, honest subscribers may also suffer. To restore the standard speed, all you need to do is call the operator’s support service.
To use unlimited Internet in modems and routers, connect to the Internet tariff for devices.
In addition, the tariff also provides packages of minutes and SMS – let’s look at this in more detail.
Eventually
Tele2 offers a fairly optimal connection option with unlimited Internet. At an affordable price, you will receive a sufficient package of minutes for the average subscriber, some SMS and unlimited access to the global network. There is also an interesting option “Share gigabytes”.
The tariff is especially relevant for subscribers traveling around Russia and active Internet users. You are not tied to your home region, and will receive communication services equally throughout the country. You also don’t have to monitor the remaining traffic, and always know that the speed will not drop.
Before you activate the My Unlimited tariff on Tele2, think about the feasibility. It may be better to use an offer with unlimited use of instant messengers and social networks if you rarely use third-party resources, or the basic tariff.
How much does domestic and international roaming cost?
The Tele2 “Unlimited” tariff implies special conditions when traveling around Russia. The operator has completely disabled roaming, so there are no overpayments for customers traveling around the country. Minutes of conversation and SMS are deducted from the package, the speed of the Internet connection remains stable. Exceptions are Crimea and Sevastopol, prices for them are described above.
If the user travels abroad, the standard package conditions do not apply. He can connect to unlimited Internet, the cost of which is 350 rubles. in a day. The service is paid only for those days when a person actually uses it. The second option is to connect traffic immediately for a month (fixed price, 1,500 rubles).
Unlimited Internet Tele2 without traffic limitation
Connecting the Internet to Tele2 does not have to happen along with changing the tariff plan. The company has prepared a special promotion together with Opera - “Unlimited Opera”. The main feature of the service is that all the traffic you receive through Opera Mini is not charged, that is, it is absolutely free. You can install this utility from the App.Store, Google Play, or from the developer’s website. If you exit through third-party applications, for example, VKontakte, Chrome, payment will be charged according to your tariff.
Tele2 itself changed the tariff to Classic and added a paid service
30 minutes of conversation with Tele2 on Tele2 cost me 3 rubles 10 kopecks, now it will be 45 rubles ( 14.5 times more expensive ). A minute from Tele2 to Tele2 cost 1 ruble, now 1.5 rubles. And 10 minutes cost 1 ruble and 10 kopecks, it will cost 15 rubles ( 13.5 times more expensive ).
Honestly, I don’t know what the tariff was before.
But people write in questions and answers on the operator’s website that there was per-second billing, but now it’s per-minute. From Megafon to Megafon for 30 minutes it will cost 22.5 rubles, and to another operator it will cost 30 rubles. In both cases it is cheaper than on Tele2, including for 1 minute and for 10 minutes.

One of the disadvantages is that SMS is 2 times more expensive than on Tele2. But if you rarely send messages, then Menafon is more profitable.
The fact is that this number is not mine, but my grandmother’s. She has the most ordinary push-button telephone. Not long ago, Tele2 automatically connected her to a paid subscription. My grandmother could not dial the code, and she did not have any pop-up windows on her phone, I checked. They called the customer service and said that you accidentally pressed/confirmed it yourself. – this is an advantageous offer for those who like to communicate on the phone. The international telecommunications company is developing and gaining popularity thanks to attentiveness to customers and favorable terms of use.
