Tele2 in Moscow. Tariffs, coverage, Internet speed, connection quality and how I bought a SIM card

There are many companies providing mobile communication services in Russia, but what is the best mobile operator? It's difficult to answer this question.

The fact is that some companies are good because they provide excellent quality services, others have inexpensive tariff plans, and others do both, but can constantly charge you for subscriptions and options that you did not activate.

To help you understand which cellular provider is best for you, let's look at the advantages, features, and disadvantages of the most popular ones. So, the giants include: Megafon, Beeline, MTS, Tele2 and Iota.

Megafon - does it deserve the title of best mobile operator?

The company is one of the most successful, developed and largest among mobile operators. In addition, it is one of the “oldest”, that is, it appeared on the market quite a long time ago, or rather, in the summer of 1993. It provides favorable conditions, so over the years of operation it has managed to gain more than seventy million subscribers.

Reasons why Megafon is the best operator for most subscribers:

• The communication coverage area is the largest throughout the country - this is actually surprising, but the company takes a big risk by installing its stations even in those places where the number of customers is critically low. That is, even their payment for services will not be able to cover the operator’s costs for installation and maintenance of the station.

• 
  The use of the latest technologies and ideas - at Megafon, everything new appears first, because they carefully monitor the relevance of services. For example, mobile video communication first appeared with this operator, and only then was it organized by the others.

• Excellent Internet quality - all equipment used meets modern technology requirements. Internet speed is excellent. For this reason, Megafon is increasingly being chosen by people who need high-speed Internet.

But there are not only advantages.

Disadvantages of Megafon

Overall, this is a profitable telecom operator. Tariff prices are not so high, but there are certain disadvantages:

• Calling technical support is simply pointless - if you look at this problem realistically, it occurs in almost all companies. It is so difficult to reach customer support that customers most often do not get through and turn to call centers. But it’s not so simple here either: according to reviews from subscribers, they often turn out to be incompetent.
• Tariff plans are quite difficult to understand, there are certain “tricks” - this also occurs with many operators, but with Megafon it is especially common. What is especially unpleasant for clients is that every year the tariffs become more and more complex.

As you can see, in such conditions it is quite difficult to determine which operator is better.

Cellular operator Tele2 - reviews

Maksim

Rotten office. THEY STEAL MONEY FROM THE ACCOUNT. If money appears in the account, they will definitely connect a paid service or redirection, although the content account has already been connected, and there is a ban on connecting paid services. The operator claims that you yourself have activated call forwarding or a paid service in your personal account - a blatant lie. The account can only be replenished on the day of the scheduled payment, otherwise you can say goodbye to your money.

Vladimir

Aggressive advertising. Coverage area is very small. They steal money from the account, and you lose not only minutes and gigs that should be transferred, but also your nerves and money that force you to pay extra to update the package. The operator is a thief, I have no other words. I do not advise anyone to deal with them. They constantly try to impose a more expensive tariff, whenever you contact support, they hang noodles on your ears and blame you for everything. In short, the operator is CRAP. On April 17, five hours before the package update, I deposited money into my account, once again 60 rubles were debited from the account a few minutes before the package update, so there was not enough money to update the package, resulting in a loss of 400 minutes and 12 GB of Internet that should have been transferred ( the package was not used up due to illness, there was no time for calls and the Internet). When contacting support, they began to blame me for everything, as if I had sent an SMS to a short number, while they flatly refused to provide this number. In short, GOATS.

Lily

They offer to pay a second time for what was paid initially. At night they feed the opdata who called, although initially it was all inclusive. Then they steal them from me for SMS.

Pavelf

Sucks company. For more than a year I used a Tele2 SIM card for a modem at the dacha. On March 20, 2021 I called the hotline to find out why there was no Internet, they said there was a problem with payment, now everything will be fixed. Evening - no internet again call to the hotline the answer was amazing YOUR TARIFF PLAN DOES NOT INCLUDE THE USE OF A MODEM!?!? When I asked why, they said that in the morning, at my request, they changed the tariff plan. The SIM card is only needed for the modem, they suggested leaving a claim within 72 hours. See what they answer. In the meantime, there is only one conclusion: Tele 2 is an unreliable company with incompetent employees. Hide

Julia

The thieves!!!! They are brazenly stealing money from the account and are not going to return it. Several times a week you have to top up your balance, which should be enough for a month. Paid subscriptions without the subscriber’s consent, supposedly SMS messages sent abroad, it is unclear who sent them and when. They lie and steal money. I don't recommend it to anyone. Before them I had another operator, I changed because of the cost of the tariff, but in the end they cost more. Soon everyone would run to them and run back.

Nwceo

I use the TELE2 tariff with unlimited internet. Very low Internet speed, it is impossible to watch videos, movies, or download anything, only at 04 am the Internet speed becomes available. Recently, the distribution of the Internet from the phone has been blocked, downloading torrents has also been blocked, although other operators allow this. There is no point in such an Internet. Communication is also not very good.

Novel

Worst mobile operator. Problems cannot be solved by promises and hopes alone. I don’t recommend connecting, it’s just problems and nerves.

Alexei

Tele2 personal account does not work well. Not everything loads, it takes a long time to load and nothing happens. This is not the first day I have noticed this. Yaroslavl region.

ELENA

Tele 2 are thieves, I thought only Beeline was stealing, but here Tele 2 showed itself in all its glory. Yesterday I decided to look at the balance and my account is over 50 rubles short, I have a classic tariff, I call rarely, a minute costs 1.20, it’s profitable for me. I call the support service, and they say you connected to the Internet 13, 14, 15 although I don’t use the Internet on my phone and it’s disconnected from it. It’s useless to explain the whole situation, they were there and everyone said, go and take pictures of the details in the office. Now the coronavirus is on your mind. I tell my son there is a loophole on the site. We go to your personal account, they charge 0 rubles [an SMS comes with a code, but we can’t go further] in the office 100 rubles [that’s the answer why they send it]. About a month ago, 100 rubles were stolen. I called, they said - what did you connect there, I said - no - or maybe they pressed some button there - no, I didn’t press anything, but the money was returned. And now, at a time when many people are unemployed, they make money at the expense of others. Yes, so that you choke and get pain in your throat, vile bodies 2.

Nikolai.

It is impossible to deposit money in advance; paid services are immediately connected. This happens year after year. When will Tele 2 stop scamming money by connecting paid services.

Anton

Literally for several days I couldn’t pay for Tele2, they have some kind of agreement that until you activate autopayment, then don’t expect payment

Marina

On February 8, 2021, I switched to the “My Conversation” tariff - 250 rubles / month. 250 minutes for other mobile phones, 7 GB of Internet. For city travelers there is an additional charge. And on February 12, 243 minutes of calls (the details indicate 15 minutes) and 5.63 GB of Internet were mysteriously spent. On the previous “My Online” tariff, it was difficult to spend 3 GB out of 10, but on this tariff I was pretty scammed. I decided to save at least a little by switching to a cheap tariff. But you need to switch to another company.

Ilya

I bought a card with an Internet of Things tariff (a certain Alexander was constantly rude in the office), I spent the whole day trying to solve the problem that the gsm beacon does not see the network, thanks to the kind people on the Internet who suggested that 2g does not work in Moscow, Tele2 you are goats and freaks, I and I called support and put it in the phone and put another SIM card in the Mac, it was clear bitches that it was your problem, no, they’re like we don’t know, there’s a problem with the device, no, you bastards, the problem is with you, I had your number in the tablet, that’s all for you not my money now, bastards shitting in their pockets Comrades, you understand, if you bought and use a SIM card in the region, then when your car is stolen and it is located in territories where, in fact, Tele2’s 2g does not work, then you will not find anything, and where 2g from Tele2 does not work can take a long time to find out, so this is a game of roulette and Tele2 in the alarm system is completely crap

Vasya

Been with her for many years. She was once respected. The only reason I'm with her is that the office is a hundred meters away. If they move out, I'll move on to someone else. No better or worse than other operators. It has become full of content partners (scammers) who will try to screw you in every possible way. There are enough employees in the office, but if there is a serious question, they are not competent and run after the main one, who is always somewhere in the back room. It’s especially infuriating when he comes up and asks what the question is. You explain the situation to him for about five minutes, and he, wait, now this specialist will be free and take care of you. I really want to send it. And so everything is like others, the imposition of paid services, the sharing of information with content partners, incompetence and co-operation with Very Advanced Advertising. Has anyone seen on the Tele2 website, the Customer Reviews section, and you won’t see it correctly.

Anatoly

Two examples of deception (theft): 1. There were about 500 rubles on the phone account. And suddenly within two weeks they disappeared. At the Tele-2 help desk they explained to me that the money was withdrawn for Internet services. But my phone model does not support this feature! 2. I bought a branded Tele-2 USB modem worth (together with a Sim card) 690 rubles. I used it for two years and was pleased. Convenient and cheap - you put 100 rubles into your account (20 rubles for 500 MB of traffic per day), this was enough to go online once a week and spend the evening on your computer online. In the third year, the time spent online was reduced to one hour and 100 rubles were credited to the account. began to disappear during the first session. In the fourth year, the Internet “stopped working.” At the Tele-2 certificate they explained - pay 670 rubles. (!) for setting up the modem. Why should there be any adjustments? There is not a single button or regulator on the modem. I realized that I was simply disconnected. Well, okay, the “master” has the right to set his own price... Then the most interesting thing happened. I had to congratulate my friend. I think: I’ll pay 20 rubles for the last time. and I’ll go online for the last time, at least for 5 minutes. I paid the money, but in the end I didn’t go online, and I didn’t find my 22 rubles deposited into my account! And this draws on a criminal article...! A. Ivanov, Omsk region. December 28, 2019

Ed

Without my knowledge or consent, they connected the mobile Internet and charged 102 rubles in three days, filed a claim, asked for my passport data to close the mobile Internet. In general, it’s a disgrace, as they want to rip off money so that they can be awarded bonuses, this is my assumption. Tele 2 - stop, otherwise customers will run .

Irina

Fraudsters, like others. They connect paid subscriptions. Just before you need to pay the subscription fee. Without suspecting anything, you lose unused minutes and everything else.

Victor

3 hours ago they signed up 2 TVs on my body without my knowledge, turned it off, wrote the money was not returned, I have to think whether it’s worth dealing with them

Maksim

The card was only used in the router. At one point, the entire balance of funds was written off. Transferring money to another mobile operator. They don't say where the money went. Rehearsed answer: “Contact law enforcement” Who has been in this situation? We must punish. Cover up for scammers or accomplices.

Gennady

The operator sucks the connection is bad they charge you for nothing and no explanation

Andrey.

Tele2 has poor coverage area.

Anatoly Nikolaevich

I generally have cinema and Germans, I’ve been using Tele2 for 6 years now, at first everything was fine, then they just started getting bombarded with calls from unknown people, sometimes they just breathed into the phone, complained to the operator, it’s useless, now my tariff is archived, and they couldn’t do anything better figure out how they changed my data in my personal account to the data of a completely different person, and that’s it, now I can’t replace the SIM card with a new type card, and I can’t do anything at all except go into my personal account. According to my information, in Tele2 there is a pig working in the central office on Krasnoarmeisky, the head of the security service there is a former FSB employee, a certain Nikolai, who, according to my information, provided services for good money to find the location of subscribers....in general, not a company but morons...

Alixey

Local offices are not working well. I asked for a SIM card replacement and they haven’t been able to replace it for two months.

Ilya Shalman

I have been a subscriber of this operator for several years. I even transferred Megafonov’s number to Tele2. Total 2 SIM cards. On one, “The Blackest” for 270 rubles per month, on the second, “Infinitely Black” for 290. It had unlimited Internet, but since April of this year it is only from 0 to 7 o’clock. Last year I was tempted by 4G traffic. I bought a new smartphone for this (the old one was only 3G), Tele2 maxi plus. It turned out that 4G DOES NOT WORK in Kazan!!! Then I handed over this device under warranty for re-flashing. We did it for 40 days!!! At the same time, they didn’t give me a temporary device, so I had to use the half-dead DNS-4501. And when I received my smartphone from “repair”, it turned out that it was discharged by 1% in 10 minutes, even in flight mode, while connected to a 2 ampere charger!!! And when it reaches 33%, the discharge instantly drops to ZERO!!! Then DAYS it charges to 100%. There are no decent words for these freaks!!! By the way, the Russian Tele2 has NO relation to the Swedish one.

&

Terrible service! The operators are rude. The operator is unable to explain on what basis paid subscriptions were connected. Apparently I went to some paid site. No SMS notifications were received about connections or debits. For that, yesterday I paid 399 rubles according to my unlimited tariff in Tele2. And in the morning I found out that I was missing 70 rubles to write off. Interestingly, in a dream I probably went to a site unknown to me. And I connected Tele2 topics to myself. They blatantly reach into clients' pockets. They shamelessly write off money from the account without the client's knowledge. Terrible Tele2 operator. Last month, SMS messages for a package of 50 of them disappeared. I wrote a maximum of 15-20. Where did you go? Interesting? The operator is chewing snot! The company is not responsible for its actions and brazenly steals money from its customers.

08/20/2018 I had the temerity to buy an “External battery TFN PB-1001 10000” (it was offered to me when purchasing a SIM card), which does not meet the specifications stated in the instructions. In particular, after 48 hours (!) of charging, the battery was 75% charged. With such charging, i.e. Almost 7500 MA out of the declared 10,000 charged the smartphone by 27%, after which the battery was discharged. The employees refused my request to return my money for a low-quality product. They offered to exchange it for a CORRECT similar product, which I did not agree to. After a long debate with the employees of the Tele2 office at Moscow, Vernadskogo Prospect 86A, Avenue shopping center, I managed to submit the battery for inspection on August 30, 2018. When I asked when I should come for an answer, employee Roman Zatsepin replied, “that the car will be there on Tuesday, the examination will be carried out for another month.” I left the goods I bought, the employee issued an Acceptance Certificate for quality control No. 1. This item is not for sale. As the employees explained to me, this is a promotional item, it is sold at a discount and is not put up for sale. Allegedly, cheap batteries are offered only to those who become Tele2 subscribers, while the so-called. The promotional product is not displayed anywhere in the salon; it is taken out from under the table. I believe that this “style” of selling consumer goods is contrary to the Rules of Trade. I am extremely outraged by the attitude of your employees towards customers. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the name of the other employee who behaved particularly incorrectly. Please look into this situation.

I have been using this operator (Tele 2, Moscow) for a long time, as soon as they appeared on the Moscow market. Everything was fine, although there were already complaints then - the connection is not the same everywhere, and in some places it is not there at all (within the city), in the forest park it is completely absent. But somehow this didn’t bother me until the second half of Monday, November 13th.

In the second half of Monday, November 13, my SIM card was blocked.....Just like that, for no reason, no reason. I have a subscription fee, I don’t remember the exact tariff, but it suited me quite well and I paid the money regularly and on time, and I even had a stash in my account - 500 rubles just in case... In general, I was calm and here was a SURPRISE at the most inopportune moment - I don't have a phone - my husband is away. And everything is tied to this number - cards, SMS notifications, in general, without it, it’s like having no hands.

I've been without a phone all evening, night and morning. Attempts to log into my personal account from a computer were a fiasco. There is no such subscriber!

In the morning from work I call the TELE 2 MOSCOW contact center. There is only one question - WHY was the number blocked? The dear girl’s answer: “And we annually confirm the current passport details of the subscriber. You just need to personally go to any Tele 2 office with your passport.” And to the question - why they didn’t warn me in advance, but simply cut off the oxygen - I couldn’t answer clearly.....

So now I’m thinking, well, he’s off to the forest - this Tele 2. Expensive, dishonest, unreliable! I’ll look for another operator, that’s for sure. And of course, I’ll tell everyone how I ended up with Tele 2.

great news. Give ten percent for the promised payment for the service. Total 3600 percent per annum. mmm resting. Not only do they give you only 30 rubles for three days, but also this. Apparently Tony's water is not cheap after all. Moreover, they cheated with the transition to the tariff. Hell, you’ll get through to the customer service department. And if you get through like that, it’s useless. I do not recommend for use. I myself am struggling because of the age and the ghostly cheapness.

Flaws:

• not a good signal everywhere

The integrity of some TELE 2 employees is very questionable. It is enough to ask a friend who works in this company - very simply, without requests, criminal cases and court sanction, the interested person is provided with the contents of telephone conversations and the location of the subscriber. I assure you, this is not a hoax. I experienced the situation myself when my, so to speak, ill-wishers were literally following me on my heels or had already met me at the destination agreed upon in advance via a mobile phone with a TELE 2 SIM card.

Advantages:

• Not found.

Flaws:

• Connection quality

I switched to this operator due to the rise in prices for the services of my favorite Megafon. I studied everything on the Internet in search of good prices and switched to TELE2, but, as we know, only cheese in a mousetrap is free. To say that I regretted this action is an understatement. When switching from Megafon to TELE2, I was immediately greeted by “affectionate” and “friendly” employees, with the help of whom I switched to the “My Online” tariff. When choosing a tariff, my eye immediately fell on it - 12 gigabytes of Internet, 500 minutes and for only 400 rubles! On a megaphone for 350 rubles, I received 4 times less. As a result, in a month I used only 2 gigabytes. There is no connection anywhere! I live in the center of Moscow and there is no LTE like Megafon here. It takes about 3 minutes for the Internet to load a banal photo. I was tired of the constant lack of Internet, so I switched back to my favorite Megafon. I will never recommend this operator to anyone, and neither do you!

I am a client of Tele2. Since the beginning of 2021, they began to practice connecting paid services. When contacting support, they “naturally” say that it’s my own fault for connecting the subscription (veselukha.com). The first time I didn’t notice the subscription for 11 days, until I received an SMS saying that I didn’t have enough money in my account to pay the monthly fee, although the money was neatly deposited into my account for the monthly fee. I contacted the support service - they said that you are dear to us and we will return everything to you. It’s like it’s all my fault, although I’m savvy in this regard. I called the operator and asked that they turn on the ban on paid subscriptions, they told me that they did, but not even a month had passed (just before the next monthly fee was charged) before I again had a paid subscription (T-media). When I called 611, I was told that the application had been completed and the money should be returned to me. The first time I received an SMS that the application had been completed, but now I have not received any SMS. They promised to return the money within 7 days. After 7 days the money has not been returned. I called again and they told me. that nothing will be returned to me. I called again - another operator said that I needed to wait another 7 days. I waited seven days again - the money was not returned. I called again and they moved the date again. only for an indefinite period - they said it was first come, first serve. A month has passed, but apparently my line has not moved.

Disappointed, poor connection, more or less only in the city. If you call where the walls are thick or in the basement, there are also interruptions or there is no connection at all. Lately they've been playing around with tariffs. They constantly add some additional services, and in the end the amount accumulates is much higher than it should be. In general, I don't recommend it.

I drove 10 tr by mistake. on my phone, wrote a return request. They've been scrolling through it for 20 days now, but they haven't returned it! Scammers? How many hours does it take to consider the return of money from the same individual phone and bank account????

Flaws:

They scroll through subscribers' erroneously transferred money for up to 30 days.

Terrible internet!! All the nerves are already exhausted!! I will change the operator!! sometimes it loads sometimes it doesn’t, operators say there are few towers and that they are expensive!! There are a lot of Tele2 subscribers that could already be installed! I just know how to put everything in Corman! And the fact that they receive complaints is because they turn a blind eye!! They say just do this, it’s enough for a couple of hours!! I received an SMS once for a week, that’s not good either!! Those who want good internet, you obviously don’t need TV2!

The tariff, like TELE 2 itself, completely sucks and DIVORCE: The tariff was the worst - I fought with them for two years, because every day I connected incomprehensible content and per month it came out of the top of the tariff, which cost 599, I paid 200 - 386 rubles per month OVERPAYMENT . Total per month: 800 - 1000!!! I called, I ASKED, I swore, it didn’t help. Switched to MY CONVERSATION: Total per month is almost 400 rubles!!! The details showed 199 rubles + 50 rubles (Internet speed + 50 kopecks for Who called (ARH)) = already almost 300 rubles + called to other regions.... In general, the connection, like the fixed price, is SHIT!!!! AND DIVORCE...Advice to communication users: CONTROL YOUR NUMBERS AND EXPENSES ON THEM, or better yet, run away from them, like me...

Tele 2 are greyhounds little by little. A couple of months ago, I paid 2 rubles for 2 MB, and now I pay 11 rubles for 2 MB at the same rate. Not good. It's called a steep dive.

Beeline is a worthy contender when choosing a cellular operator

It is also very popular, and not only within Russia. For what reasons is it among the best cellular operators:

• A huge number of tariffs and options are offered. There is a profitable solution for almost everyone who comes here.

• Promotions and discounts are held quite often - this occurs with many operators, but Beeline is much more common.
• Experienced consultants will always help - the customer support service is under the close supervision of the administration. All managers undergo a training course, after which they can work quickly, solve problems, and not create new ones.

If you are wondering which operator is better to choose, pay attention to this one.

Flaws

They also take place here:

• It is very difficult to get through to the company - some callers even get the impression that they are simply being avoided. In fact, this problem arises due to the excessive workload of managers. Try calling operators during business hours (that is, not in the evening or at night, when there are many calls).
• Frequent maintenance work – users are seriously dissatisfied with this. Often there are some problems that prevent you from making calls or even checking your account.
• Nightmarish conditions for roaming - subscribers say that this is the worst operator if you evaluate the company based on the prices of roaming services.
• Poor coverage outside the city - if compared with the previously reviewed Megafon, here the quality of mobile communications in the countryside is simply terrible. The fact is that Beeline is not going to install stations in places where it would be unprofitable.

However, in terms of prices, this operator is more profitable than many others.

Beeline: many promotions and high-quality city communications

The company began its activities in August 1993. During this time, the operator won over and won the trust of a significant number of subscribers. According to unofficial information, there are about 60 million, but this is difficult to verify.

Advantages

The operator is constantly striving to expand its customer base, which is why it offers a large number of promotions. Promotional offers appear regularly. Loyalty programs and a wide range of tariffs allow us to offer the optimal solution for each client.

Beeline advantages:

1. Wide range of tariffs. Even a client with non-standard requests can find the optimal solution.
2. Of all the market leader operators, Beeline most often runs promotions for connecting or changing a tariff plan.
3. High level of service. Beeline specialists, both in sales centers and in the support service, take their work seriously and perform it efficiently. No client will be left unattended.

Flaws

Disadvantages are inherent in all operators, but it is worth highlighting the most noticeable ones in Beeline:

1. Frequent connection problems. Corresponding reviews can be found on the Internet.
2. Roaming is not profitable. This is one of the most expensive operators for roaming.
3. Poor coverage of suburban areas.

The coverage map is a clear minus of Beeline. The company strives for profit and does not want to develop communications in sparsely populated areas.

Separately, customers note the long waiting times at Beeline technical support. They will provide high-quality assistance, but it is difficult to get through by phone - the high workload forces the client to hang on the phone.

Results

When choosing which is better for Moscow or other large cities: Beeline or Tele2, it is better to give preference to Beeline. However, only if the subscriber does not have to often visit the city limits. Otherwise, communication problems will begin in the outback - poor coverage area. And within the confines of city life, each client can choose the right tariff for themselves - fortunately there are many of them.

As for the shortcomings, you will have to come to terms with them. Communication in Beeline is not ideal, but the quality of service is at a high level.

Review of the tariff line of the Beeline operator:

MTS – eligible for the title of best mobile operator

If you compare cellular operators by the number of subscribers, MTS wins by an incredible advantage. He has more than one hundred million clients! And this is not so surprising, because there are undeniable advantages:

• 
  Excellent call quality – you can’t argue with that. The company purchases very expensive equipment, and all technical work is carried out by specialists, so the quality of communication is very pleasing to customers. Moreover, the connection is good not only in buildings, but also outdoors.

• There are excellent GPRS tariff plans - if you actively use the mobile Internet, this operator will be very interesting to you.
• Wide roaming network - the company is attentive to subscribers who need roaming services, so this telecom operator is better suited in such cases.

MTS also seriously claims to be the best operator.

Flaws

• The cost of many services is quite high when compared with the prices charged by other mobile operators. So this is not the most profitable option for a phone, although the quality of the Internet and communication is actually high.
• The network coverage area is not so large - this is when compared with Megafon and Beeline.
• Technical support leaves much to be desired. It seems pointless to call managers. But don’t despair, the consultant should definitely come up within five to ten minutes. Otherwise, you will have to contact managers at the company’s offices.

So, now let's look at one of the youngest operators.

Tele2: high-quality communication at competitive rates

It is extremely difficult to determine which is better – Beeline or Tele2. All subscribers will remain unconvinced. After all, some people trust the one who founded the market, while others like the young operator.

However, in reality, Tele2 is a worthy competitor to Beeline and MTS, as well as Megafon. A new audience is attracted by the low cost of tariffs - they are anti-crisis.

Pros and cons of a young operator

In modern life, almost everyone has a mobile phone or other device that supports cellular communications. Quite recently, a new provider Tele2 appeared on the domestic market, which has already proven itself to be the best. One cannot but agree that the operator offers almost the most favorable conditions for communication in Russia and the CIS countries, however, the young mobile service representative also has some shortcomings, which, as the company’s management promises, will be eliminated in the near future.

Important! Despite its young age on the Russian market, the Tele2 operator offers high-quality communication services that are not inferior even to such top providers as MTS, Megafon and Beeline.

Before delving into the essence of the issue in more detail, how to disable the Internet on Tele2, you should pay some attention to the provider itself, clearly examining its positive and negative aspects, in comparison with top mobile operators, which have been represented on the modern Russian market for quite a long time, and also in the CIS countries. Let's start the review of the communication service representative with an analysis of the advantages:

1. The ability to switch to the Tele2 operator from another provider, while maintaining your previous phone number.
2. Relatively inexpensive services for communication, Internet access and the transmission of short SMS text messages.
3. The opportunity to use additional paid and free services that are actively offered by Tele2.
4. Inexpensive communication, both within the country and abroad, and in particular in the CIS countries.
5. Availability of quality service and good technical customer support at any time necessary.
6. The ability to independently maintain full details of your mobile number account, as well as expenses for individual communication services.
7. An additional service is to disable the Internet on Tele2, if necessary, by typing a simple USSD command.
8. Relatively inexpensive communication with clients of other mobile operators of the Russian Federation.
9. On Tele2, there is a function of saving unused traffic, SMS and included minutes and transferring this to the next month.

The listed advantages are not all the advantages that customers of the mobile operator Tele2 encounter; there are also a number of less significant, but positive qualities. Having considered the main advantages, you should pay a little attention to the disadvantages of the cellular operator, namely:

• due to the fact that the operator is still young, the work system is not fully established, which is why there are often network failures;
• for the same reason, due to the recent appearance on the Russian market, the number of towers present does not always provide high-quality communication;
• in some areas the network may not catch everything for the same reason, due to a lack of repeater towers;
• when switching from another operator while maintaining the number, the network often slips, which is why you have to restart the mobile device;
• Cellular data transmission is always working, which is why to save traffic you should turn off the Internet on Tele2;

Against the backdrop of a large number of advantages, these disadvantages are not particularly noticeable, which allows you to use mobile communication services with great savings when compared with other operators.

Important! All previously listed minor shortcomings, according to the management of the mobile operator, will be eliminated, which will allow the provider to take a leading place among Russian representatives of cellular communications, according to many experts.

Having familiarized yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of a mobile provider, you can switch to considering the question of how to disable the Internet in Tele2 for different tariff plans. It is worth noting that the most popular among compatriots are tariffs such as classic, black and additional Internet packages for those who like to use a mobile device to access the World Wide Web. Each tariff plan should be considered separately.

Still, Beeline or Tele2: which is better for connecting in 2021? Judging by the anti-crisis cost of services, it makes sense to connect to Tele2. However, some users complain about poor connection quality. This is partly due to the age of the operator - communication is not well established everywhere.

In large cities there are no complaints about the connection. The Internet works at high speed, and the interlocutor can be heard perfectly. Therefore, if you don’t have to think about traveling outside the city, Tele2 is an excellent choice. But in the outback it is better to choose a different operator.

The advantage is that the company is young and actively developing. Therefore, the ceiling has not yet been reached. Previously, customers complained about the high cost of national roaming, but Tele2 solved the problem.

Constant expansion of the client base is possible due to the low cost of services. Now the number of Tele2 subscribers is about 25 million. They have made their choice and for them the question of the best operator is not so important.

But it’s worth thinking about which connection is better – Megafon or Tele2? Recently, Tele2's competitor, Megafon, recently offered a discount to subscribers when switching without changing their number. More about this in the video

Tele2 - advantages and disadvantages

Tele2 occupies fourth place when comparing companies by the number of subscribers. Despite this, in terms of prices it is the most favorable. From your mobile operator you will get inexpensive prices for mobile services, tariff plans and subscriptions.

However, there are disadvantages:

• The communication coverage area is very small;
• At times, errors and glitches occur in the system.

If you are looking for the cheapest mobile operator, look no further than this company.

Advantages of the Tele2 operator

First, let's talk about the advantages, since there are more of them. For the most part, they relate to tariff plans and ]Tariffs[/anchor] Tele2 really has a lot of favorable tariffs, but you need to understand that other operators have similar advantages. After reading the article, we recommend that you compare the selected tariffs and find out how many people in your phone book use Tele2. If there are many such people, then the choice in favor of Tele2 is quite obvious.

Unlimited services

In addition to the traffic packages present in all tariff plans, Tele2 has prepared for its subscribers a lot of unlimited packages for various Internet services. They included:

• Unlimited for social networks – supported by VKontakte, Facebook, Clubhouse and Odnoklassniki. Browse endless event feeds, post and view content, exchange messages with friends, other participants and communities, without worrying about traffic consumption - here it is unlimited;
• Unlimited for instant messengers - exchange text messages as much as you like without using up your traffic. The exception is voice calls and video calls - here traffic is consumed, no matter how Tele2 subscribers would like it;
• Unlimited for navigation services - free downloading of maps and viewing routes without consuming the main traffic package;
• Unlimited for video services – free viewing of video content on popular platforms, including gaming platforms;
• Unlimited for Tele2 TV - watching movies, favorite TV series and TV channels without spending the main Internet package.

Many other unlimited packages are also available to subscribers - for dating services, Amediateka, and services from Sberbank. Connect the packages you need and save the main traffic package.

Premium tariff for roaming

This tariff plan is created for demanding subscribers. It is suitable for local calls, calls within Russia, domestic trips and trips abroad. The tariff is a package, with a subscription fee of 1800 rubles/month. It includes:

• Unlimited calls to any Tele2 numbers in Russia - call to any regions and talk as much as you like;
• 2000 minutes to other local and Russian numbers – you can call both mobile and landline numbers in Russia;
• Unlimited Internet traffic – it can be spent for any purpose, including watching videos and distributing it to other devices;
• Premium service – for subscribers with the Premium tariff there is a separate hotline 711 with priority resolution of all issues.

The tariff plan also includes the “Unlimited Internet abroad” option, which is provided free of charge - without a daily subscription fee. The option provides unlimited Internet access in most popular tourist destinations - the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Georgia, Spain, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Turkey, UAE, Israel, Thailand, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Australia, Egypt, Morocco and many other countries.

The “Unlimited Internet abroad” option provides 200 MB of high-speed traffic per day, then the speed drops to 128 kbps - this is enough for surfing, messaging and even listening to music from online services. In some countries, the speed reduction threshold is higher - for example, 400 MB in Finland, 600 GB in Italy and China, 1 GB in Sweden (the full list is available on the Tele2 website). When you are in Montenegro, you are provided with full unlimited traffic without speed limits.

Please note that speed restoration is carried out at 00-00 Moscow time, and not local time.

Setting up tariffs

Each Tele2 subscriber has the opportunity to customize a tariff plan “for themselves”, for their needs and services. You can increase or decrease the number of included minutes, and adjust the amount of included traffic. As an example, let’s take the “My Online” tariff plan, which includes 500 for local mobile phones, 15 GB of Internet, unlimited for social networks and instant messengers. The subscription fee is 360 rubles/month.

The following settings are available on the tariff:

• Calls – 200, 500, 800 or 1000 minutes;
• Internet traffic – 6, 15, 20 or 50 GB;
• Social networks - Instagram and TikTok (Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki and Facebook are already included);
• Messengers – Discord (WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber and TamTam are already included).

Depending on the content, the subscription fee also changes. You can also connect additional unlimited data in your personal account – for example, for dating services or the Tele2 TV service.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to adjust the tariff plan by the minute or by the gigabyte - only under conditions of permissible volumes.

Unlimited calls within the network

Tele2 provides its subscribers with the opportunity to talk online absolutely free. Included packages of minutes are not spent on on-net calls. The exception is per-minute tariffs and Internet tariff plans. With package tariffs, calls to Tele2 numbers throughout the country are free - talk as much as you need. Unlimited calls also work when traveling around Russia - of course, on package tariff plans.

Yota is the youngest, but is it profitable?

Yota provides a huge selection of tariff plans, service options for both communication and mobile Internet.

Their cost is not the highest when compared with other companies, but the quality leaves much to be desired.

Choose this operator if you don’t need high-speed Internet because it works slowly here.
