After this, you should click on “Connect” and follow the instructions on the screen. Usually it is enough to simply confirm the idea.

Summary
The “Very Black” tariff is one of the most profitable among all cellular operators at the moment. It connects easily and free of charge, has fairly large packages of calls, SMS and Internet, which is important for active people.
The disadvantages of the tariff plan are offset by its low cost. And the connection quality is decent. It is probably not suitable only for residents of Sevastopol and Crimea, since roaming operates on their territory. Perhaps the operator will soon correct this oversight.
Otherwise, the tariff is convenient and profitable. For those who do not use the Internet excessively, even a relatively small traffic package will not be a reason to abandon the tariff plan. For those who most often call Tele 2 subscribers and travel a lot, the “Very Black” tariff plan is ideal.

User reviews about the tariff
Reading subscriber reviews about the “Very Black” tariff from Tele2, one cannot fail to note the large number of satisfied subscribers . They are satisfied not only with transparent tariffs, but also with the lack of imposed services. The only disappointment is that the coverage area is not as good as some Tele2 clients would like. The lack of intranet unlimited is also a little puzzling.
The parameters of the “Very Black” tariff plan presented in the review are valid exclusively for Tele2 subscribers from Moscow and the Moscow region. You can view the tariffs for your region on the operator’s website (subject to the availability of this tariff in your region). The name of the Super Black tariff from Tele2 is erroneous, since there is no tariff with that name in Moscow or the region.
