How to share gigabytes with another Tele2 subscriber?

Tariffs in which the service is valid

Individuals and subscribers of the Premium and My Tele2 tariff lines can share gigabytes. The latter includes the following tariffs:

1. "My online +".
2. “Everywhere online.”
3. "Mine is online."
4. "My conversation."
5. "My Tele2".

In addition, the subscription fee for these tariffs includes:

• Internet package, in some tariffs – unlimited use of social networks and instant messengers;
• Unlimited calls to Tele2 numbers in Russia and your home region, as well as a package of minutes for calls to other numbers in Russia;
• Package of SMS to Russian numbers.

Also, most tariffs come with a free package, which you can learn more about on the operator’s website.

Application "My Tele2"

To find out the remaining traffic on Tele2, just use the “My Tele2” application, developed specifically for mobile devices and tablets.

The procedure itself does not require much effort from the user. It is enough to download the program from Google Play or the App Store, after which the device will install it itself and offer to go through the registration process.

The advantage of using the application is its availability when the Internet is available. It is always at hand, and you don’t need to remember any combinations of symbols or the address of your personal account on the network.

In addition, the application always has additional data, in addition to the rest of the Internet traffic:

• the amount of money remaining in the account;
• balance of unused minutes and SMS;
• available services and options;
• current promotional offers.

Do not forget that for the application to work correctly, the phone (or other device) must be based on the Android or iOS operating system of the appropriate version.

Terms of service

Before sending gigabytes of traffic to friends, relatives and just acquaintances, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic terms of use of the service:

• Only Tele2 subscribers who have a tariff with an Internet package included in the subscription fee can receive traffic packages.
• The service is provided only if there is a subscription fee for the tariff plan.
• The maximum amount of traffic available for sending is 30 GB. The validity period of the transferred gigabyte package is 7 days. This period can be extended one-time to 30 days for an additional fee of 50 rubles.
• You cannot receive more than one package of gigabytes at the same time.
• The service does not work for subscribers from Sevastopol and Crimea.

Also, traffic is not transferred if the “Unlimited” tariff or the “Very Much Internet” option is activated.

Detailed description

Tele2 provides its subscribers with a line of tariff plans with a fixed subscription fee, after connecting which the consumer receives a mobile Internet package of a certain volume. The user is able to independently select a personal solution for his tasks. The size of the quota provided depends on the selected contract and the value of the proposal. At the beginning of a new billing period, the limit is automatically updated subject to the monthly payment.

In case of complete consumption of Internet traffic until the beginning of the next month, access to the Internet is blocked. To resume data transfer, you need to activate renewal options or use an additional function - such as asking for gigabytes from other Tele2 users within the framework.

Let's consider the main features of the offer:

1. The option does not need to be installed on your phone number yourself; it is provided in the starter kit with compatible provider tariff plans.
2. Owners of tariffs on a package basis can receive additional Internet traffic and use it. The function is not available on contracts with per-minute calling rates.
3. The service is open for use to all individuals, owners of tariff plans from the “My Tele2” group, on “Everywhere Online” or “Premium” contracts. Compatibility features are indicated in the description of each TP on the provider’s official website.
4. Transferring free gigabytes is only allowed from a valid SIM card if the personal account status is positive.
5. Internet traffic can be transmitted to any region of the Russian Federation without charging a commission. Gigabytes will not be sent to Sevastopol and the Republic of Crimea, where special communication tariff conditions apply.
6. You can exchange gigabytes only through the internal network of Tele2.

Traffic transmission methods

Tele2 has provided several ways in which you can share gigabytes:

• Through your personal account on the Tele2 website.
• In the “My Tele2” mobile application for Android and iOS devices.
• USSD command.

Using the same methods, you can find out the amount of traffic available for sending.

Personal Area

In order to share gigabytes through your personal account, you need to:

1. Go to the official website of the mobile operator: https://msk.tele2.ru/lk.
2. Pass authorization using one of the following methods: without a password with confirmation of the number by entering a code from SMS or with a number and password.
3. In the tab that opens, click on the “Give Internet” button.
4. Enter the subscriber number and the amount of traffic to transfer (no more than 30 GB).
5. Confirm your actions by clicking on the “Continue” button.

You can only share gigabytes. You cannot send 100, 300 or 700 MB to another subscriber. This applies to all methods of transmitting traffic.

My Tele2

The easiest way to send gigabytes from a smartphone is through the My Tele2 application. The personal account in the program is perfectly implemented - all the necessary information and available services are on the main screen.

1. Download the “My Tele2” application (for Android – https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.tele2.mytele2&hl=ru, for iOS – https://apps.apple.com/ru /app/%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B9-tele2/id1010648429).
2. Log in to your personal account.
3. In the main menu, click on the “Share GB” button.

4. Enter the phone number of the person to whom you need to send traffic, and the number of gigabytes.
5. Click on the “Share” button.

If the “Share GB” button is missing, you should check on the Tele2 website whether the connected tariff supports this service.

USSD command

To send traffic using the USSD command, you need to dial *974*phone number in the format 79ХХХХХХХХХ *number of GB#.

Other USSD commands:

1. *974# – find out the amount of traffic available for transmission.
2. *974*3# – view the history of traffic transmission from the number.
3. *974*6# – refuse the received package.
4. *974*7# – extend the received traffic for 30 days (50 rubles will be debited from the account).

Each command sent is accompanied by a notification about the completed operation to the phones of the sender and recipient of the traffic.

Find out the remaining traffic using USSD commands

Like any mobile operator, the company allows you to obtain information of interest to the user not by one, but by several alternative methods. So, you can find out your Internet balance by using special USSD commands:

1. Checking the remaining packets – *155*0#
2. Checking Internet balance – *155*00#

Before carrying out the procedure, it is also recommended to clarify the name of the connected paid services, for which you will need to send a short command to *153#.

As for obtaining specific information on Internet services, you should use the combination of symbols from the table:

You can receive the necessary information using a USSD code only if your mobile device has access to the network, and a current Internet connection is not required.

How many times can gigabytes be shared?

Another limitation from the operator: no more than 5 operations can be performed per day, and more than 30 GB cannot be transferred per month.

It is worth considering that the received traffic is consumed first, then the balances (if any) from the last month and those GB that were received in exchange for minutes. Lastly, the main Internet package at the tariff is used. Gigabytes of the main package do not expire with the onset of a new billing month, but accumulate if you pay the tariff on time.

Is it possible to share gigabytes via SMS?

The operator does not provide for the possibility of transmitting traffic via SMS messages. If your smartphone does not have Internet access, the only way to send gigabytes is to use USSD commands.

Why can't I share gigabytes?

Often, when sending traffic, users encounter the error “The recipient cannot accept the gigabytes you want to share.” There may be several reasons for this problem to occur:

1. The traffic recipient has an activated tariff without his own Internet package.
2. The recipient has already accepted a package of gigabytes from someone, and until its validity period has expired, it is impossible to receive a new one. This problem can be solved by deactivating previously received gigabytes.

In each case, the problem is on the recipient’s side - it is he who needs to check his tariff and information about the services included in it. The easiest way to do this is through the customer support service at 611.

Pros and cons of Tele2

There are several important advantages of the option:

• With full consumption of the standard quota, any user of Tele2 can generate revenue.
• The service is provided free of charge.
• It is allowed to transmit traffic to other regions of the country without restrictions.
• Easy control via USSD commands.

The main disadvantage is the limited validity period of the donated kit. To renew you will have to pay 50 rubles. Remaining balances are not carried over to the next month; they expire automatically.

The Share Gigabytes feature is an excellent replacement for paid additional options for extending access. It will help you hold out until the main traffic quota is updated.

Subtleties of connection

Do not forget that if you want to distribute the Internet on Tele2 for a long time, the mobile operator may impose some restrictions.
Network access distributed from smartphone to smartphone cannot be called unlimited, since sooner or later (depending on the tariff) the speed and traffic will be reduced. Also, the phone cannot be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot, or for downloading files from some exchange networks. Next, we’ll figure out how to bypass Tele2’s restriction on Internet distribution.

Checking the tariff on the modem

It will be useful for owners of 3G and 4G modems from Tele2 to know that in their case there is another alternative way to check the remaining traffic on the SIM card. When you connect the modem to your computer for the first time, it automatically installs its built-in software with a simple graphical interface.

This program allows you to perform a number of basic operations to manage the modem connection, and to find out the remaining traffic, just find the “Service” tab in the control panel and click on “Check Balance”.

How to connect ?

There is no additional need to activate the service : it is automatically activated on all current Tele2 tariffs and is provided free of charge. You can transfer gigabytes using the command 974*number of the receiving subscriber in the format 7ХХХХХХХХХХ*number of GB for transferring traffic# For example, 974*79507390888*15# - for transferring 15 GB of Internet to the subscriber +79507390888.

How to exchange minutes for gigabytes in Tele2

If there is not enough Internet until the end of the month, in addition to receiving traffic from other subscribers, you can exchange your own unused minutes from the package for the Internet. We tell you how this service works.

Minutes are exchanged at the rate:

• 10 minutes = 10.24 MB;
• 100 minutes = 1 GB.

To manage the service there are commands:

• * 155 * 62 * [number of minutes to exchange] # — exchange minutes;
• * 155 * 77 # — find out the number of minutes for exchange;
• * 155 * 64 # - find out the history of exchanging minutes for gigabytes.

The service is currently not available for all tariffs, mainly for archive ones. Find out about availability in your personal account or mobile application. If you can exchange minutes, the opportunity will appear in the list of services. The service operates throughout Russia, except Crimea and Sevastopol.
