regularly pleases its customers with new tariff plans and advantageous offers for the use of communication services. Some of the previously available tariffs are undergoing changes, becoming more affordable and interesting for subscribers. Among the changes was the “Purple” tariff (Tele2). Its conditions were significantly adjusted, in particular, this affected the subscription fee. In this article we will talk about what opportunities are currently offered at this TP, and about its features in different regions of the country.
Tariff “Purple” (“Tele2”): description of the previous option
If we go back some time and see what the “Purple” TP was like before, we will see several differences (depending on the region, they may be absent):
- availability of a subscription fee in the amount of three hundred and fifty rubles;
- included call volume (300 minutes to all numbers in the home area: landline, mobile);
- package of text messages (100 pcs. daily).
Moreover, after exhaustion of the provided limits, the tariff for calls was 90 kopecks per minute of connection (the tariff was per minute, regardless of the direction of the call).
This tariff plan was ideally suited for subscribers who do not want to constantly top up their balance and are not accustomed to setting restrictions on the use of communication services.
Features of using key services of the tariff plan
Tariffing provides for a huge number of options for which the operator traditionally charges a certain fee.
- All outgoing calls to operator numbers cost 0 rubles per minute of communication, subject to replenishment of the account in the amount of 90 rubles or more.
- This plan will be valid and usable for a period of 30 days from the date of replenishment.
- If the top-up occurred in an amount less than 90 rubles, then the price for the first minute of communication will be 0.15 rubles, and as for subsequent periods, it will be 0 rubles.
- The subscriber will also be offered to send messages at a favorable rate: the first 3 SMS are priced at 0.9 rubles. for 1 piece, and subsequent ones - up to 0.15 rubles, starting from the 201st text.
- Users will also be offered the opportunity to use the mobile Internet service.
- The tariff scheme provides for the fact that the cost of one megabyte of network use will be 6.5 rubles, while all incoming and outgoing traffic is rounded up.
- This service operates and operates using special GPRS technology. Therefore, you should not expect speeds exceeding the specified parameters.
These are not all the possibilities offered to users, but we can already say that for a very modest fee, a subscriber can count on high-quality mobile communications and a good Internet package.
Features of the transition to the tariff in question
Currently, this package is not publicly available, and all existing users can use it without any problems.
The easiest way to switch to a tariff is to request *116*100#. Just enter it on your phone and press the call button. You will be charged 49 rubles for switching to this tariff, so top up your balance in advance.
For the tariff to continue after 2 months, you need to spend more than 70 rubles per month on your calls. You can check your spending last month using the request *116*14#
How to disable using a tariff
This measure may be necessary in several cases: finding a more profitable tariff plan or reluctance to use the Internet. Disabling this tariff is quite simple; this process occurs when it is directly changed to another direction.
In order to change the package, it is necessary to conduct a preliminary familiarization with current offers, as well as make several clarifications directly from a company specialist whether this transition is possible. This can be done by sending a message to a consultant, as well as by making a personal call or visiting the operator’s office.
Tariff "Purple" (Tele2): current conditions
Currently, the conditions of the tariff plan under consideration have changed significantly. Firstly, the subscription fee was canceled. Funds are debited from a cell phone account only after paid actions have been completed (sending text or multimedia messages, calls, establishing an Internet connection, etc.) Thus, you can save on cellular communications while controlling costs. Secondly, for subscribers of the operator “Tele2” (tariff “Purple”, Voronezh) calls are charged per second (only for calls to numbers in your region). Which means that with a connection of 15 seconds you will not have to pay as much as for 60. At the same time, when calling long-distance numbers and to other countries, per-minute billing is maintained. Thirdly, there are no options that imply a package of minutes / messages. Each action is charged in accordance with the terms of the TP.

conclusions
The “Purple” tariff plan from the all-Russian popular cellular operator Tele2 is the best offer from the company for intraregional communication. Do you periodically need to call certain people who are serviced by other operators? This is the best and right choice!
Tele2 is a discount operator and can offer its customers the lowest communication prices when compared with offers from other operators. Today, the network offers many interesting tariffs that differ in the affordable cost of services. And the most attractive of them is the Violet tariff, valid for economical subscribers from Krasnodar, the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea. It is suitable for those who want to spend a minimum of money on cellular communications. Let's look at this tariff in more detail.
SMS and MMS
The use of SMS services has declined sharply in recent years due to the proliferation of high-speed data networks. This allows you to send text messages via social networks or instant messengers. But in some cases, SMS can help out, so it’s worth knowing the terms of use.
Tariffication of Violet messages:
- Sending a message within your home region – 99 kopecks.
- Message within the country – 5 rubles.
- MMS to any number – 4 rubles.
Violet tariffs are designed in such a way that for communication outside the region it is more profitable to send MMS. But young people rarely use these services.
Is it worth connecting while roaming?
Roaming in Russia will become more profitable if you connect to a paid one. The advantages of the service are that no matter what region of Russia the “Purple” tariff subscriber is located in, all received calls will be absolutely free!
- outgoing calls to all Russian subscribers, including landline numbers, if connected - 2.0 rubles ;
- outgoing text message - 2.5 rubles .
The Tele2 operator provides a subscription fee for use - 3 rubles / day.
The service does not in any way affect the cost of the Internet connection . If the subscriber is located in a region without access to the Tele2 network, it is recommended to purchase a local SIM card.
