Sometimes the services of a mobile operator, which the subscriber has been using for a long time or not very long, cease to satisfy, for example, their prices or conditions of provision. Then the dissatisfied user seriously thinks about changing the operator. But, there is one “but” - you don’t want to change your phone number: there are too many contacts “attached” to it, or a number with a beautiful combination of numbers. How then to make the transition to save the number?
The article is relevant for Tele2 subscribers who wish to become Beeline members.
Prices and packages
To understand which is better than Beeline or Tele2, let’s discuss the cost of operator services - this is one of the most important parameters that users pay attention to.
For convenience, in the future, both competitors will be designated as the first and second company, respectively. So, let's talk about the cost and volumes of packages in more detail.
The services of the first company will cost subscribers more – for comparison, you can look at the images.
The packages of the second company are more functional - not all subscribers need a huge number of SMS messages. On the other hand, the number one competitor makes it possible to exchange unnecessary messages for traffic that will be useful to most users. See all existing Beeline tariff plans at the link, there are a huge number of them.
Is it possible to change operator?
Yes, yes and again, yes!
Switching from one mobile operator to another while maintaining the number is not only possible, but also legalized since 2013 by the Government of the Russian Federation. And Beeline strictly observes the law, so it freely accepts former Tele2 subscribers with their numbers into its ranks. After switching to the “striped” service, all contacts will be saved, you won’t have to tell everyone you know your new number, and, importantly, the number will remain “linked” to bank accounts, applications and websites.
But there are still some nuances to the transition from Tele2 to Beeline. This way, the user should not have any debts to his “former” operator. If the subscriber account has a negative balance, then it must be replenished and the account at least reaches “zero”. Otherwise, Tele2 will not release the debtor until payment is made, and then you will have to re-write the transfer application.
For some time, you will have to top up your account through the Beeline sales office, but this is temporary.
And yet, you should be patient, because for several days or weeks after the transition from Tele2 to Beeline, the “former” operator will call his “departed” user with propaganda messages about his return. Losing users is not profitable for any mobile operator.
Tariffs and services
It is impossible to understand what to choose - Tele2 or Beeline without a detailed study of tariff plans and services.
Overall, both companies offer similar offerings:
- Includes SMS, minutes for calls within Russia and GB packages;
- It is possible to use unlimited Internet;
- You can share packages with other users
The first operator makes it possible to pay the subscription cost in installments - a small amount is debited from the balance daily. The second company has one similar tariff. The main difference between the second company is the preservation of leftovers that do not expire at the end of the month.
Both operators offer the main lines of tariff plans:
- Beeline called the product “EVERYTHING!”;
- Tele2 - “Mine”.
Also, in both places you can find an offer without a subscription fee - users pay only for the volume of services that was actually received.
Have you got a basic idea of tariff plans? It's time to talk about which connection is better - Beeline or Tele2.
Is it possible to switch from Beeline to Tele2, leaving your number?
The decision on the availability of number transfer from one mobile network to another is made by the operators themselves and is enshrined in law. Therefore, this service is available to all subscribers of any providers. For the correct transition from Beeline to Tele2, there are several recommendations:
- Find out in whose name the contract with Beeline is signed. To transfer, it must be in your name.
- Check out the tariffs that Tele2 offers and choose the one that interests you the most.
- Select a transition date - this option is provided by the operator, but not earlier than 8 days from the date of submission of the request.
- Find out how much money is in your account and whether there are any debts to Beeline.
Important! You can switch to another operator only at the place where you received a valid SIM card. That is, the transfer can be carried out exclusively in the home region.
Connection quality
It is very important for subscribers to know which receives better – Beeline or Tele2. Communication quality is one of the main indicators of choice. Is it unlikely that you would want to use the services of an operator that cannot provide adequate network coverage?
- The first competitor has been operating in the service market much longer, which means it has managed to significantly expand its network coverage area. You can verify this by looking at the map;
- The second operator entered the market a little later - it is inferior in the number of towers to its competitor.
Subscribers note that the quality of communication of the black-and-yellow company exceeds that of its competitor, this is due to the greater demand for services.
What is important for a modern person? Stable network access! It's time to discuss which Internet is better - Beeline or Tele2.
How to switch from Beeline to Tele2: two transfer options
The provider offers number porting both during a personal visit to a communication salon and online. In both cases, you will become a Tele2 subscriber, but the procedure will be slightly different. To become a Tele2 subscriber through the company’s office, you need to prepare a passport, then your actions:
- Go to any Tele2 salon, indicate your desire to become a subscriber and save the number, present your passport.
- Tell your operator what tariff you want to connect to.
- Write a transfer application.
- Get a SIM card. At first it will have a temporary number, later your digital combination from Beeline will be transferred to it.
- Wait for a message to the Beeline number that you are switching to a new operator, then insert the Tele2 SIM card into the phone.
On the Tele2 website at www.tele2.ru, select your region of residence. After this, the algorithm is as follows:
- Go to the “Go to Tele2 network” tab.
- In the window that opens, fill out the application for number porting.
- Set a transition date, indicate the office where you can come.
- Click “Submit” to send the application to the operator.
Internet
For many, the decisive argument in the debate about which operator is better – Tele2 or Beeline – is the quality of the Internet.
To begin with, we note that the quality of Beeline’s Internet is much better than that of its opponent - the company is actively developing and implementing modern technologies.
Both operators offer Internet to the tablet:
- Black and yellow company - 16 GB for 400 rubles;
- Competitor - 10 GB for 300 rubles.
It is worth noting the following:
- Only the first representative has home Internet and TV, as well as an option for modems;
- The second company boasts a wide selection of traffic packages separate from the main tariffs - from 1 to 40 GB.
Of course, only you can choose - focus on your capabilities and needs. This way you can choose the best option and get the most out of mobile communications. If you don’t need the Internet at all, then there are such options, follow the link.
How to switch from Beeline to Tele2 while keeping your number: step-by-step instructions
There are several steps that separate you from using the telecom services of the Tele 2 operator. We will tell you step by step what and how to do to simplify the process of switching with your number from Beeline:
- Check with the Beeline operator (in the communication salon) for the details of your Agreement. Is it issued in your name, and do the passport details match?
- Submit an application to port your number from Beeline to Tele2. Options for submitting it are at the Tele2 office, or remotely on the website www.tele2.ru.
- Sign the agreement and receive a SIM card with a temporary number.
- The transition takes 8 days. The day before, you will receive a message about the number porting. You need to install the received SIM card into the slot of your mobile phone.
- On the day of number transfer, some communication failures are possible - this is normal if they last for several hours while debugging is underway on the line.
Send using credit cardPoso
If a Tele2 subscriber does not yet have a universal card from the provider, then it can be ordered on the operator’s portal. After logging into the resource, a standard form is filled out, where the main positions are written down:
- number of the person to whom the money is intended;
- amount to be transferred;
- sender's smartphone number.
The system will immediately calculate the total amount taking into account the commission, which is 3%, but not less than 10 rubles.
Conditions for porting a number to Beeline
Carrying out this operation requires the subscriber to comply with a certain number of conditions established by the Beeline operator:
- Submitting an application to connect the current subscriber number to a Beeline SIM can only be carried out by the owner of the phone if he has a passport, or a notarized power of attorney is required from the person who is the real owner of the SIM,
- The data specified in the agreement with the previous operator must be current, the subscriber number is not blocked and there are no debts on it,
- Only federal telephones (not landlines) located within one territorial subject of Russia are subject to transfer.
Important! During the process of transferring a subscriber's phone to a Beeline card, a short-term restriction on cellular services may be established - making outgoing calls and SMS is impossible for up to 30 minutes, receiving calls and SMS is impossible for up to 6 hours.
Advantages of Beeline and Tele2 operators
Tele2 offers favorable tariffs at low prices. Users note the good quality of the Internet connection.
Beeline often holds promotions, has many packages in its lineup, including for home Internet and TV, and also provides better communications.
How to choose a good offer
Finding the optimal tariff is very difficult. When making a choice, some people rely on the opinions of experts, while others rely on reviews from experienced users. But it makes more sense in this matter to start from the person’s personal needs, his requests and wishes. Each customer has their own individual expectations for their mobile operator, so finding a one-size-fits-all solution will never work. You can only study the strengths and weaknesses to make a final decision.
Operator Comparison
What you need to pay special attention to
Some data that some sites are silent about. For example, if there are still debts on your old card, you won’t be able to switch to another operator. When there is one day left before activation, both operators will have poor communication.
For some time, Tele2 managers will call the new operator, because no one wants to lose their client.
Replenishing your number is another challenge that you will have to face. At first, you can only deposit money into your phone account in Beeline communication stores. Now all the steps have been completed, and all that remains is to wait for the operator to establish contact.
Transition feature
Only after 8 days the number can be transferred, and until this point the client will still be using his old SIM card. And only after this period has passed, an information message will be sent to your phone about the activation of a new card, which should be purchased in advance at the operator’s sales showroom. 100 rubles are withdrawn from the account for connecting the Tele2 number to the Beeline network. Initially, you will need to top up your new card with 200 rubles - the amount is abstract, it depends on the selected tariff plan. After purchasing a SIM card from Beeline, a temporary number will be connected to it, but it is fully functional and you can make calls according to the tariff. After the number is finally transferred (after 8 days), the old SIM card will no longer work. You can transfer a certain type of number, for example, a simple mobile or federal number, but as such, the transfer of regional numbers is not carried out, the order of dialing the numbers simply changes - the first 3 digits contain information about the region, the last three - the area of use of the number. The time for adding a new subscriber to the Beeline customer base is usually nighttime, that is, changes are made after 24 hours, but sometimes there are restrictions on the network if this action takes place in a different time period. If it is impossible to use the connection for more than 6 hours, you should contact a company employee in the sales office to correct the problems. Note! Sometimes problems may arise with replenishing the mobile balance of a new number; not every equipment can immediately read the changed information. In this case, it is better to contact the sales office again and top up your account there. But this phenomenon is temporary, soon it will be possible to top up via terminals, but do not forget to save receipts as proof of payment.
Customer Service
If any questions arise during the process, you can contact support or use any of the methods below to clarify issues related to the transfer:

Tele2 buys Beeline
My readers were a little excited by the news about the possible merger of Tele2 and Beeline. One of the well-known publishing houses wrote that two people (incognito) told media representatives (through friendship or for money, it was not specified) that during the New Year holidays, representatives of Tele2 and Beeline met to discuss the possibility of merging the two companies. To be honest, this is a strange situation for me personally, since the huge backbone of the former Beeline subscribers are current Tele2 subscribers, and if they merge, this could negatively affect the latter. Well, this raises one more question: why Beeline? After all, among the big three, this is the weakest operator, consistently losing positions. As soon as Tele2 and VimpelCom merge and raise prices, mass transitions to Megafon and MTS will begin. Owners of two SIM cards will simply abandon the second one after the price increases and will turn into dead souls.
According to rumors there are 2 opinions:
- Tele2 - due to the crisis, this company, which recently spent money on the construction and launch of a network in Moscow, has to adjust construction plans plus the risk that subscribers will connect less actively than the company expected, and the payback period for construction will be delayed - consolidation with one of its competitors could be a way out.
- Beeline - the company is unable to quickly regain its market position in Russia, and the debt burden remains high - consolidation with one of its competitors could be a way out.
According to AC&M Consulting, at the end of September 2015, VimpelCom had 59 million subscribers, Tele2 - 35.5 million, the operators occupied 24 and 14% of the market, respectively. It is impossible to sum up subscribers if they are combined - many users have SIM cards from both operators, warns Otkritie FC analyst Alexander Vengranovich. Taking into account these intersections, the combined operator may have, according to Vengranovic, about 83 million subscribers, but this is still enough to surpass the market leader, MTS (76.9 million subscribers at the end of September).
MTS investments in network construction for the nine months of 2015 amounted to 66.1 billion rubles. This is the largest figure among cell phones, coming second, spent 46.5 billion rubles. VimpelCom and Tele2 invested 39 billion and 29.3 billion rubles over the same period. respectively. In total this is 68.3 billion rubles. – by 2 billion rubles. more than MTS.
The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) will be obliged to assess the possibility of such a transaction from the point of view of compliance with antimonopoly legislation, warns Elena Zaeva, head of the department for regulation of communications and information technologies of the FAS. According to her, there are assumptions in Russian law that allow such mergers to be carried out (for example, the merger of large players in the market is possible if it increases competition in the international market), but they are unlikely to be applicable in this case. Vengranovic suggests that the FAS may approve this deal provided that VimpelCom agrees to sell assets in those regions where, together with Tele2, it controls more than 50% of the market.
PS - Beeline is slowly but surely going to hell, the active reduction of technicians in the cellular operator is death, and Tele2 does not need so many technicians, they have their own who, with some addition, will cope with the operation perfectly. Tele2 only needs frequencies, bases and most importantly clients, and everything else is ballast.
