Tele2 “Light” tariff: detailed description of how to connect

For those who have not yet heard about the new Light tariff from the mobile operator Tele2, check out its description, here it is. A few gigabytes on your balance, calls to subscribers within the network are free and not limited by minutes, and all this for 10-15 rubles per day, depending on your location in Russia.

What’s the catch, you ask, because such a tariff already exists and is called My Tele2, and it costs less. And you will be right, there is no innovation on the part of the company, with the exception of the name of the tariff itself and small upward adjustments. These changes can be associated with consumer activity and the previous prepaid gigabytes have become scarce, but no, the mobile operator, as always, did this for reasons of profit. If subscribers did not have enough GB, they would simply switch to another offer, especially since for almost the same price there are My Online with a much more profitable package.

Paid and temporarily free services in the tariff

automatically for subscribers and, if they are not disabled, additional payments for these services will be charged in addition to the subscription fee:

Unlimited Internet abroad - from 350 ₽ per day when staying abroad (the option via USSD request from the phone *143*70# is disabled);
Internet on the peninsula - 300 ₽ per day when using mobile Internet in Crimea (can be disabled via the USSD command *143*50#);
The “My Assistant” option is provided free of charge for a period of 30 days, then 1 rub./day.

Additional services

In the package for the Light tariff, Tele2 provides a free SOS package, sharing gigabytes and transferring balances to the next month, subject to timely payment of funds for the subscription fee.

Don’t forget about paid services, some of them are connected by default, and if you just connected, they will be free for the first month, but from the next month they will start charging you.

You can find out the connected paid services:

via the Tele2 mobile application;
on the official website in your personal account;
using the Ussd command *153#;
by dialing the free short number 611, where the robotic operator will tell you everything within its menu, including paid services and how to disable them.

Despite the options, the most effective and simple way is to manage your services through a mobile application or through your Tele2 personal account. In this case, just go to the interface, where you will immediately see everything that you have connected, and with the ease of pressing one button you can deactivate unnecessary services, and also connect them if desired. So don’t bother with ussd commands, much less listening to voice information on the phone.

Features of charging a subscription fee

As I wrote above, money is debited from the account daily. If there are not enough funds on the account for the daily debit, then Internet access is blocked and the subscriber uses communication services under the following conditions:

Outgoing call to another region of the Russian Federation - 9.00 ₽/min;
SMS to any mobile number in the Russian Federation - 3.00 ₽ per message;

After replenishing the subscriber's account with a sufficient amount, all services begin to be provided to the subscriber within the framework of the tariff plan without any additional payments or restrictions.

About the tariff

Nevertheless, we will tell you what the Light tariff is in all details and details, although where it goes, everything is simply outrageous.

Advantageous option

If you need to use megabytes for one day, the company suggests using the low-cost offer. The subscriber will not be able to receive unlimited data, since traffic is significantly limited. If the client uses the option constantly, it will cost 3 rubles for daily use. Payment is due after 12 midnight. The first time the option is offered free of charge, then you will have to pay 20 rubles to activate it. The connection will continue until the traffic ends. After connecting to the option, the client can watch videos online, access social services and send messages. There is one way to connect the Internet to a Tele2 SIM card for a day; to do this, enter the combination of numbers *155*11# on the device. The client can disable the service by typing *155*10#.

note

After deactivation, funds will no longer be debited from the subscriber's balance.

Advantages and disadvantages

pros

Actually, this is the cheapest tariff from Tele2 at the moment;
There is a transfer of remaining traffic, an “SOS package” and the ability to share a traffic package via ;
If the default tariff parameters do not suit you, then it is possible to configure the required volume of traffic through the designer in your personal account;
There are no restrictions on “distributing” the Internet and downloading files via torrents;

Minuses

The main thing: there was a “My Tele2” tariff, it was closed and “Light” was “opened”, which has almost the same parameters, but is a third more expensive. It's simple
There is no limit on social networks and instant messengers;
When connecting to a tariff, many services are activated, including paid ones that are unnecessary for most subscribers. If you do not disable the options, then you get a good “increase” (for the operator, of course) to the subscription fee.

conclusions

Unfortunately, the times when Tele2 was an obvious discounter and surprised with low prices are gradually becoming a thing of the past. This tariff is not so bad, but it cannot be called too profitable either. If you actively use the Internet and make calls only on Tele2, then it is quite possible to subscribe to the “Lite” tariff. But for less active users who want to save money, there is nothing other than the Classic tariff - the only advantage of which is the absence of a subscription fee. These are the conditions and description of the updated “Lite” tariff, but decide for yourself whether it suits you or not.

Eventually

Everything is becoming more expensive. This is natural, but offensive. And Tele2 from the discounter in terms of prices is very much “pulled up” to the big three.

Regarding whether or not to connect the “Lite” tariff, I will say this: for those who use the good old “My Tele2”, I advise you not to switch under any circumstances, you will use the same thing, but much more expensive. I have already described in detail how to prevent the operator from changing your tariff against your wishes.

I advise those subscribers who want to connect to think very carefully and look at the comparative table of Tele2 tariffs. It is very possible that you will choose something more interesting in terms of prices and volume of included services.

Commands to disable Tele2 tariffs from your phone

If the tariff seems unprofitable, but you don’t want to leave Tele2, only switching to another tariff plan will help. There is no need to disable the existing service. There are no separate commands to disable the tariff. Deactivation occurs automatically as soon as the client connects to a different tariff plan. If you activate a new tariff using a command, the old one will be disabled automatically. USSD to activate a new tariff:

My online *630*500*15#.
Everywhere online *630*6#.
My online plus *630*800*30#.
My conversation *630*200*15#.
My Tele2 *630*1#.

If you need to disable your tariff plan and start using the services of another operator, you need to visit the Tele2 office with your passport. The addresses of the company's representative offices are listed on the operator's website.

After typing one of the proposed commands and pressing the call button, the subscriber will instantly disconnect the current TP and switch to another. The operation will only take a few seconds, and as a result, the unfavorable tariff will be deactivated.

Payment Features

The subscription fee for any of the described tariffs is deducted from the account at the time of transition. Further write-off occurs after a month, provided that there is enough money on the user’s balance. When additional paid options are activated, the subscription fee will be increased.

Important! Subscribers of the “My” line have the right to use installment payments in the first month after connection. In this case, the write-off is carried out in two stages: first, payment for the first 5, 10 or 15 days of using communication services. The remainder is then retained for 6, 11 or 16 days.

If the SIM card is not used for more than 120 days, 3 rubles including VAT are deducted from the client’s balance daily. The debiting will stop as soon as the subscriber resumes use or when the balance is reset to zero.

How to turn off the Internet on Tele2: command, through your personal account

In recent years, cellular users have increasingly begun to connect tariffs with the Internet. But among subscribers there are people who from time to time do not need it, and they do not want to pay for a service that at some point was not in demand. Therefore, everyone may be faced with the task of how to turn off the Internet on Tele2.

Method number 1. Help Desk

The Call Center will help you quickly deactivate the unnecessary option. From your mobile phone you need to dial 611 and press the call button. The first available operator will listen to your problem and help you deactivate the service or turn off Internet access. To do this, take your passport and be prepared to provide information over the phone to identify the client to whom the SIM card is registered.

Method number 2. Personal Area

When time permits, it is possible to manage the service through a personal account located on the website of the telecommunications company ru.tele2.ru. First, you will have to register on the My Tele2 portal or authorize your profile. Next, in the “Service Management” section, find the desired option and disable the Internet. Your personal account allows you to track traffic.

Method No. 3. USSD service

The simplest and easiest option to deactivate an additional service is to learn or enter into the phone book special commands reserved for disabling the service.

So, to get information about traffic on the “Internet to Tablet” tariff plan, send the command *155*67#. And, for example, for a service:

“7 GB” - *155*68#.
“20 GB” - *155*69#.
“50 GB” - *155*70#.

Services are disabled using the same command, only one more character “0” is added:

“7 GB” - *155*680#.
“20 GB” - *155*690#.
“50 GB” - *155*700#.
“Internet to tablet” - *155*670#.

Don’t forget to press the “off-hook” button after #. Otherwise the command will not be executed.

“Easy Internet” - *116*13*0#.
“Unlimited Opera Mini” - *155*10#.
“Night unlimited” - 116*8#.

If we disable “Internet from phone”, which was activated for 15 rubles per day, then we will use the command *155*30#.

Method number 4. Sales and service office

When personal experience is not enough to disable the service on your phone, they can advise you during a personal visit to a Tele2 point of sale. Here the employee will carefully listen to the subscriber’s question and make an extract from the account, which will indicate the service provided by the operator and the traffic consumed by the SIM card owner. At the client’s request, the specialist will disconnect 3G Internet on site. On the day of application, the last subscription fee will be debited, then the balance will not change. Now it should not be difficult to cope with the previously posed task of how to disable mobile Internet on Tele2 if this could not be done in the user’s account or other methods failed.
