Tele2 starter kit: overview of the operator, tariff plans, getting started

Tele2 is an international company whose field of activity is the provision of cellular communication services, Internet connections and cable television. It was registered in Sweden in 1993. The provider's customer policy is to provide its subscribers with high-quality services with a wide range of functionality at a reasonable price. Such results can be achieved thanks to small financial expenditures on marketing campaigns and a reduction in the number of service personnel.

One of the most important aspects of any cellular network is the size of the coverage area. Tele2 is constantly developing its network and gradually expanding the geography of places where its cellular signal is available. By visiting the company's official website, you can see a map of the coverage area and signal strength. It clearly shows that the maximum signal level is in the entire European part of Russia and gradually decreases towards the Far East, however, it is also present in this place. Due to the rapid development and expansion of the coverage area, the availability of a 4G network in most of Russia is expected in the near future.

If you have decided to purchase a Tele2 starter kit, it is important to know the rules for its purchase and further use.

Contents of the Tele2 starter kit

A separate Tele2 starter kit may differ from a similar tariff plan. The differences are due to the time period and region of the country in which it was released.

A new network subscriber receives a starter kit in a stylish black envelope. The most common USSD codes can be read on the outside of the package. Inside the black envelope there is everything the user needs, namely:

• a plastic card with a new SIM card installed in it;
• subscriber directory.

The plastic card displays the phone number of the new subscriber, PIN and PUK codes of the SIM card, the name of the tariff plan, USSD combinations and other data. Not everyone owns a smartphone with a slot for a SIM card that has the MicroSim standard. Therefore, for the comfort of a new user, it is possible to use a SIM card of both standard size and MicroSim, which, in turn, allows it to be used in any mobile device.

The subscriber directory contains information about information help desk numbers for many regions, a description of dialing, details of working with a new SIM card and other important information about the options and services provided by the company. Sometimes the mobile telephony operator Tele2 makes improvements to the starter package and adds some bonuses to the default set. One such example was in 2015, when residents of the Kaluga region had the opportunity to purchase a starter package with the “Pink” tariff. In this set, in addition to the balance of 50 rubles on the main account, the company supplied a replenishment card in the amount of 25 rubles.

Coverage area

Tele2 is an international provider of cellular communications, Internet connections and cable television broadcasting. The company was launched in 1993, its homeland is Sweden. The essence of the operator’s policy is to provide services to its customers on favorable terms and at low prices. This is achieved by reducing costs for advertising campaigns and reducing the number of specialists. At the same time, the quality is not lost at all.

An important aspect of any network is the coverage area. This provider is constantly developing and gradually expanding its geographical latitude. A detailed signal level map can be found on the official Internet page or in a separate article “Tele2 coverage map”. It clearly shows that the entire European part of Russia is in the zone of maximum coverage level, and moving towards the Far East, it gradually decreases, but does not disappear completely. Given the extent and speed of development, 4G network will be available in most parts of the country in the near future.

Connected services

Any starter kit purchased includes services by default, for which no money is charged. The most important among them:

• USSD code service – allows you to manage services, order and disable tariffs, perform many operations using short character combinations;
• transfer of balances - if during the month the subscriber did not manage to completely use up the Internet traffic, talk all the minutes and spend all the SMS messages allocated as part of the package plan, they are transferred to the next month;
• call forwarding;
• I’m in touch – if the subscriber was unavailable for incoming calls, when the device is turned on or appears on the network, each caller will be informed about this;
• voice mail – if the subscriber is unavailable, you can leave him a voice message;
• who called – the service will inform the subscriber who called him when the phone was turned off.

Black package

So, you have the treasured black envelope in your hands. The most important attribute in its composition is, of course, a standard-sized SIM card, which can easily turn into a micro-SIM. On the surface of the plastic card next to the Sim you can see the numbers of its number, PIN and PIN codes and help desk contacts.

The original tariff connected to Sim when you purchase it can easily be changed to any convenient one that suits your needs completely free of charge. In addition, the contents of the envelope include an agreement on the provision of communication services and a guide for the user of the starter package.

The amount of funds in the Sim account is determined by the selected tariff connected to it. It is possible that certain bonuses are valid during the purchase. For example, residents of Moscow and its suburbs have a chance to get another SIM card; it is also possible to authorize services on a preferential basis.

How to choose and connect a tariff?

If the “Classic” tariff seems inconvenient, you can always change it to another. The operator offers a fairly impressive selection of service packages. You can get acquainted with them on the website. Changing the tariff will be free, but only if the replacement procedure is carried out no more than once every 2 months. In order not to overpay, you should carefully read the terms of the proposed tariffs and the amount of free minutes and traffic. When choosing, it is better to proceed from your personal communication needs.

You can change your Tele2 SIM card package to a more favorable tariff from the list on the website in several ways:

• Personal Area . Pre-registration is required on the teleru website. Then you need to log into your account and go to the “Change tariff” tab. Select the appropriate one from the list and click on the “Connect” button.
• Application "My Tele2" . You need to first install the application on your smartphone. It is available for free on Google Play and the App Store. Authorization will happen automatically. Next, proceed as described in the Personal Account section.
• Communication salon . When contacting the customer service center in person, you must have a passport (another identification document) or a power of attorney certified by a notary.
• Support . Dial 611 from your smartphone. For Tele2 subscribers, the call will cost 0 rubles.

The change will happen instantly. When switching to a service package with a subscription fee, you need to take into account the availability of the required amount on your balance.

Communication coverage area

The above tariff assumes the maintenance of mobile communications both in the region and beyond, throughout the entire territory of the Russian Federation.

A huge plus is that all unspent free minutes and megabytes remain valid for the next month. If megabytes are used in excess, the subscriber pays fifty rubles for five hundred megabytes.

All of the above is true throughout the entire Russian Federation, except for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.

Archival plans

Gradually, any contract goes into the provider’s archive. This does not mean that you need to migrate to a new offer. Subscribers will continue to use communication services under the established conditions. There is one minus - it is impossible to connect to the old TP. But this is not significant. The operator is developing new, more profitable items.

The table shows a list of outdated tariffs and their main features:

The service is provided free of charge, regardless of the established contract and location of the subscriber. On a modem and tablet

Via SMS

Please note that when performing a transaction using third-party services, an additional commission is charged, the amount of which depends on the chosen method.

It should be taken into account that even with a zero account status, the consumer is able to receive incoming calls and SMS messages without changes. Only outgoing communication and data transfer are blocked.

Pros and cons of the “My Online Plus” tariff Tele2

As a short summary, we will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the proposal. Among the advantages are:

• a wide range of additional services in the starter kit;
• bulk internet packages, free minutes;
• unlimited communication via the Tele2 internal network;
• standard tariff packages are valid in Montenegro and Finland;
• the user receives unlimited access to social networks;
• the ability to independently change the size of the service package.

The main disadvantage is the high cost of the offer and the lack of free SMS included.

Active subscribers who make a lot of calls and spend significant time on the Internet should subscribe to the “My Online +” tariff. For such subscribers, the offer will be a profitable solution.

Advantages of Tele2

Since 1993, the Swedish company Tele2 AB has been providing mobile operator services. Several years later, the company’s activities are actively developing in many European countries, and since 2003 in Russia and the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The popularity of Tele2 grew at a rapid pace, which allowed it to maintain a strong hold on the communications market in Moscow and the Moscow region. Today, the company serves a multimillion-dollar audience among its subscribers.

The secret of success, for the most part, lies in the following reasons:

1. Relatively favorable ratio of price and services provided. For example, you can take the “Black” tariff from T2 and “Smart mini” from MTS. Both have the same Internet traffic package, unlimited for the numbers of their operator, and the only difference is the monthly fee - 199 for “Black” and 250 for Smart.
2. Implementation of self-service services. This solution by the developers allowed many subscribers to independently perform many actions with their number. For example, switch to more favorable tariffs, disable unnecessary subscriptions and enable the necessary options.
3. Conscientious attitude towards clients. If any changes occur in the tariff conditions, the operator promptly notifies subscribers about this by call or SMS. He also assures that he does not use the method of hidden subscriptions to obtain additional benefits.
4. Large coverage area.

Tariff "Start"

Tele2 has other tariff plans that are not as popular and widespread as those listed above. And “Starter” is one of them.

But it is not entirely correct to call this offer a tariff, because this is a kind of set of services that the operator implemented in the current 2015 for subscribers in some regions.

This kit includes:

• Top-up voucher for 25 rubles;
• SIM card with a pre-installed “Pink” plan;
• The starting balance on the card is 50 rubles.
