Tariff “Super Black” from Tele2: description and capabilities

The popular Russian operator Tele2 offers its subscribers a profitable tariff plan Super Black, which is a worthy alternative to the advanced packages of other providers - “All Inclusive” (MegaFon), Smart (MTS), “Everything” (Beeline). Due to the low price and large volume of included services, users immediately gave it their own nickname - “Super Black”, which stuck and is now often found on the operator’s official resources.

At the same time, we draw your attention to an important point regarding the differentiation of support for various mobile communication technologies. In Moscow and the Moscow region, the “Very Black” tariff plan interacts only with 3G/4G networks. There are no restrictions in other regions, and there the package functions on any device that supports 2G/3G/4G communications.

Tariff "Very black"

The “Very Black” tariff plan is the middle tariff from the “Black” line. It is intended for subscribers who require large volumes of included communication services. In fact, this tariff is similar to such popular plans as “Everything” from Beeline, “Smart” from MTS, “All Inclusive” from Megafon.

This plan is very convenient for those people who communicate not only with Tele2 numbers, but also with subscribers of other operators and want to have fast, inexpensive Internet on their phone.

Description and coverage area

“Super Black” is one of the most popular tariffs of the Tele2 operator. Its popularity is justified by large packages of calls, SMS and mobile data for a small mandatory payment of 399 rubles. The amount varies in each region of the coverage area.

Internet on the “Very Black” tariff

When you subscribe to this tariff, the package initially includes a certain amount of Internet traffic, the volume depends on the regionality of the number. But it should be noted that its consumption is possible only in the home zone. Internet use outside the region or in roaming will be charged per megabyte.

Exhaustion of traffic leads to a decrease in the speed of access to the network, while communication remains at the same level. You can increase the speed if necessary by using the “Add speed” or “Add time” functions.

Features of the “Very Black” Super Tariff

Connecting to the “Very Black” tariff plan comes with some features that every subscriber should be aware of. Thus, the text message sending service can be supplemented with an additional package of SMS messages. To do this, just enable such a function as “SMS freedom”. If there is no need for this option, then you can send messages to any mobile numbers in Russia, paying 1 ruble per message. In general, the “Very Black” tariff plan is a more advanced version of the “Black” tariff, designed for even more profitable use.

Other conditions

Tele2 “Super Black” already includes a number of free services:

• Trips around Russia;
• Roaming abroad;
• Voice mail;
• USSD;
• Transfer of residues, etc.

Traffic is calculated according to the general rule and rounded up to the nearest 150 KB.

You will be charged when you upgrade to Super Black and then every 30 days as long as you have enough money in your account. If there are insufficient funds when debiting, the normal conditions are suspended. Basic rates apply.

Failure to use a SIM card for more than four months will result in the remaining amount on it being written off and the number being blocked. After 120 days of inactive mode, 3 rubles per day are withdrawn until the account is reset. And after only six months of a zero or negative account, the contract with the company is considered terminated, and at the initiative of the subscriber.

Reviews

Mostly positive reviews are left by subscribers who do not want to overpay for communication services that are not very popular. For most of them, free communication within the network is quite enough. Their social circle consists of people who are subscribers of the Tele2 operator, which means that for a minimum subscription fee the client receives maximum opportunities. In addition, subscribers like that there are no paid services in the tariff, and if something paid is included in the package, the operator warns about it. You can always disable any unused option.

The tariff is also praised by subscribers who are used to talking only about business and do not hang on the phone for hours. They do not overpay for services, but are always in touch.

As for the disadvantages of this tariff, some subscribers complain about small packages, gigabytes of Internet and minutes of calls are too few for some clients. They also criticize the not very extensive coverage area, however, the latter complaint, due to the relative youth of the company, is unfounded.

Advantages and disadvantages of the tariff

The characteristics of the tariff allow us to highlight its strengths and weaknesses:

1. A compact package for a nominal fee that allows you to communicate with Tele2 subscribers and users of other companies on loyal terms even after the minutes of the basic offer have been used up.
2. The presence of an extended package of free options allows you to minimize the cost of mobile communications, because on other Tele2 products some of these options are provided on a paid basis.
3. The operator is actively developing. High-speed Internet connection and good call quality. You can add traffic at any time during the reporting period.

One of the disadvantages is the fact that the tariff is archived and new subscribers will not be able to connect to it. Also, the product is not suitable for active users who often communicate across cities, travel and spend a lot of time online. The Internet package is only enough to visit social networks and use popular instant messengers.
