With the acceleration of mobile Internet in Russia, wireless modems are gaining popularity, allowing you to access the Internet from a laptop or computer anywhere. The operator Tele2 was no exception. He offers his clients a small selection of modem devices, but at the same time favorable tariffs for them. The line includes 3G and 4G Tele2 modems at relatively low prices, as well as Wi-Fi routers. How to choose a model for yourself, what are the advantages of this or that gadget, which tariff plan to choose?
Tariffs with unlimited internet
To organize online access in most of the country, including in the absence of a wired connection, the best way is unlimited mobile Internet. Today, several operators are fighting for the Russian telecommunications market - MTS, MegaFon, Beeline Tele2. In recent years, Yota has approached the leaders, but it cannot yet boast of regional coverage. Improving cellular coverage opens up great opportunities, and people are increasingly choosing profitable wireless Internet to organize a home network.
Packages for 3G devices
There is also a package range for the 3G network. The guideline for choosing is the gigabyte capacity provided and the cost.
Tariff plans for 3G:
- "A Day on the Net" Ideal for subscribers who do not spend a lot of time on the Internet. This is a one-time feature. Payment is 15 rubles per day. 250 MB are provided per day. Money is debited only on days when the Internet is used.
- "Internet package". 7 GB is provided per month for 299 rubles. Speed is not limited.
- "Internet Suitcase" 30 GB are provided per month for 899 rubles.
Currently, Tele2 does not sell 3G modems, and the described tariffs cannot be activated.
SIM cards with unlimited mobile internet
Unlimited Internet is offered by all mobile operators. The conditions are very different - from free connection to additional services (TV, unlimited use of instant messengers and social networks, etc.). Tele2 came up with its own trick - subject to timely payment of a tariff with a limited number of gigabytes, all unused gigabytes are transferred to the next month. And with the advent of self-isolation, MTS and MegaFon gave subscribers the opportunity to receive calls and SMS even with a minus balance. Elderly users, for whom the telephone had become the only connection with the outside world, could call loved ones without having money in their account.
But when offering public tariff plans with unlimited Internet, telecom operators are a little disingenuous, especially with regard to traffic speed. Speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s are only available in ideal conditions, in close proximity to the source of radio waves. And even then with complete calm. Regardless of which package the user has chosen - “Tariffishche” from MTS or “Close People” from Beeline.
However, for high-quality viewing of movies, communicating with each other on Whatsapp, Viber and other instant messengers, downloading files, watching TV programs and the like, a speed of 10-15 Mbit/sec is quite sufficient, and at 30 Mbit/sec, the Internet simply “flies” .
But not a single Russian operator, when advertising public offers with unlimited Internet access, mentions that after a certain number of gigabytes, the Internet speed is reduced to a minimum, which is only enough to log into your Personal Account and top up your account. As a result, subscribers have to purchase additional traffic.
Therefore, more and more users are paying attention to non-public operator tariffs designed for corporate clients. A SIM card for connection can be ordered online and delivered.
The use of such a package is a guarantee that unlimited Internet means access to the global network without restrictions, regardless of what region of Russia the subscriber is located in. In addition, non-public tariff plans offer preferential rates for calls and SMS to numbers of other mobile operators and unlimited communication within the network.
Tele2 4G modems
If you want to purchase a faster device, then you should consider the Tele2 4G modem. Of course, its cost is slightly higher, but the Internet speed will be many times faster. To set up your hardware, follow these steps:
- Insert the SIM card included in the kit into the special slot;
- Connect the modem to your computer, laptop or Wi-Fi router;
- Wait until the installation of programs (drivers) is completed;
- Go to your browser and you can get started.
The peculiarity of the model is that it can be connected to routers. This, in turn, will provide you with a high-quality Internet network in the 4G range, which can be distributed via Wi-Fi. The device is also locked to the Tele2 provider. Its other features include:
- Standard SIM card sizes;

Unlimited Internet tariffs
Today, the leader of the Russian mobile market is occupied by the telecom operator MTS, whose services are used by almost 106 million subscribers. Therefore, it would be wise to consider the closed tariffs offered by the company for users who purchased a SIM card with a non-public offer.
For example, MTS tariff plan 490. For the first three months, the monthly fee is 490 rubles, then increases to 690 rubles per month. Unlimited Internet speed is limited to 20 Mbit/sec; for maximum performance you need to pay an additional 100 rubles. per month.
The SIM card can be used in a smartphone, tablet or modem (router), there are no restrictions on traffic distribution, which allows you to connect the required number of devices to your home network. As a bonus, the subscriber gets access to the “TV for Laptop” service. The package is valid throughout Russia with the exception of Norilsk.
For a subscription fee of 990 rubles per month, the subscriber receives unlimited access at maximum speed (up to 150 Mbit/sec). The remaining conditions are similar to the previous proposal.
Along with unlimited, the line of non-public tariff plans from MTS includes package options with a limited number of gigabytes, containing a different number of minutes for calls and SMS, including in roaming. To manage the package, you need to install the My MTS mobile application on your phone, in which you can see the remaining traffic, minutes for calls, messages, switch to another tariff plan, top up your balance, etc.

3G and 4G networks - what is the difference
Equipment in the form of a Tele2 modem can connect to 3G and 4G networks. 3G coverage is available in all cities of our country and in some villages; subscribers have been using it for many years. The 4G network appeared not so long ago; large cities already have such connections.
Differences between 3G and 4G in Internet connection speed. The company has improved the 4G network, so you can use the Internet at a fairly high speed without glitches or errors. According to the operator, using 4G will make it possible to download files at a speed of 100 Mb/s. At the same time, 3G shows lower figures, they reach only 21 MB / s. If subscriber connection speed is not important, then you should look at the network coverage in your area of residence. To watch videos and communicate online, a 3G connection will be sufficient.
The 4G USB modem model buys subscriber devices for broader tasks, for example, to play online games without restrictions or download heavy files. If you do not have such tasks, then you can purchase a 3G device. 4G costs twice as much as 3G modems.

There are circumstances when the Internet tariff ends, be it 15 GB, 25 GB or 40 GB. This does not mean that until the end of the month you will have to sit without contact with the world and not know who liked the video of the last weekend in nature.
Tele2, when the main package is exhausted, provides traffic in additional packages, each of which “weighs” 1 GB and costs 100 rubles. This money is debited at the time the package is activated, and in total you can activate 5 such packages sequentially, that is, get another 5 GB of traffic to your tariff. Internet balances on additional packages are not carried over to the next month.
There are other options. The cost of Internet renewal after activating additional packages:
- 5 GB - 250 rub. for 30 days.
- 3 GB - 200 rub. For 30 days.
- 500 MB until the end of the day - 50 rubles.
- 100 MB until the end of the day - 15 rubles.
It is convenient to connect and disconnect all Tele2 Internet services using USSD commands, via a mobile application or on the official website.
