The ability to ask a friend for help if you can’t top up your balance is a must-have service for any major operator. The service is used when there is no access to the “Help a Friend” or “Call Me Back” options, for the convenience of the average subscriber. Before sending “Top up my account” to Tele2, you need to make sure that you have access to the mobile network - the option does not require any other conditions. Many people use this service as a way to stay in touch with a zero bill, but for these purposes Tele2 offers other functions.
Replenishment via terminals
Payment terminals are still a popular way to top up your account. They are installed at metro stations, in shops and shopping centers, as well as on the streets. Funds are credited instantly or with a slight delay. The only negative is the presence of a commission, the size of which ranges from 2% to 10%, depending on the appetites of the owner of the selected terminal.
The replenishment process is extremely simple:
- Approach the selected terminal;
- Select the payment section for mobile communication services in the menu;
- Select your operator - in this case it is Tele2;
- Enter the phone number to be topped up and check it;
- Insert bills through the bill acceptor;
- Confirm the payment and receive a receipt.
All that remains is to wait for the funds to arrive.
Please note that in some terminals you do not need to specify an operator; it will be selected automatically by phone number.

Let's look at how to transfer money from Tele2 to Tele2. To do this, use the “Mobile Transfer” function. To use it, dial the combination *145*. Then indicate the recipient number and the transfer amount. You can also send money via SMS to toll-free number 159.

Replenishment through bank terminals and ATMs
Bank terminals differ from ATMs in that they cannot dispense cash, since they do not have a corresponding mechanism. At the same time, they allow you to pay for any services from the built-in catalog. Let's consider the process of replenishing an account using the example of a bank terminal or ATM of Sberbank:
- Insert your bank card into a bank terminal or ATM;
- Enter your PIN code and go to the payment catalogue;
- Select a mobile payment item;
- Specify the operator - in our case it is Tele2 (you can top up directly by number without choosing an operator);
- Enter your phone number;
- Specify the replenishment amount;
- Enter your PIN to confirm the payment and receive a receipt.
As a rule, banks credit money instantly.
This instruction is also valid for contactless cards, and double entering a PIN code is most often not needed here - just follow the prompts on the screen, they are extremely simple. Despite the maximum security of such cards, you cannot do without entering a PIN code. The same applies to smartphones with NFC.
Bank terminals also offer the ability to top up your account with cash:
- Go to the cash terminal - there is a simple bill acceptor;
- Select the mobile phone recharge item;
- Select the Tele2 operator and enter your mobile phone number;
- Enter the required amount - bills are inserted one at a time.
Confirm the payment and receive a check, wait for the funds to be credited to your account.
Ways to stay connected if you run out of money
An SMS request to top up your Tele2 account is not the only way to contact a friend if you run out of funds; you can contact another subscriber in other ways. You can take advantage of special services from the operator working at zero.
The mobile company provides a number of options that ensure that no matter the balance size, the user will stay in touch:
- "Beacon"
- "Call at a friend's expense"
- "Promised payment"
- "Top up my account"
An SOS package is provided when a zero balance is reached. This is an opportunity to use Internet services from Yandex and WhatsApp. Messengers are a convenient way to stay in touch if you run out of money. Through WhatsApp you can not only send messages, but also use voice or video calls.
An analogue, but with a request to call back, is the “Beacon” function. To use, you need to enter the following command: *118*recipient number of 10 digits#, call button. The subscriber will receive an SMS in the form of a request to call the sender back.
If you run out of funds on your mobile number, you can use a special functionality – “Friend Help”. It allows you to make calls at the expense of the subscriber to whom the call is made.
Promised payment
The promised payment is used both with a positive and negative balance. This is an opportunity to top up your mobile phone with a credit payment. The size of the amount, term of provision and commission are determined individually. Use is suggested when trying to call with a low balance or via the USSD command *122*1#.
SOS package
Tele2 company cares about its customers, therefore, for the convenience of using communications, a special function is provided. If the balance reaches zero, the operator automatically enables the subscriber to use the following applications for free:
- Yandex maps
- Yandex Navigator
- Yandex Transport
This ensures that the subscriber will not get lost in the city and will remain in touch even in a difficult situation. The package is valid from 1 to 3 days.
Today, Tele2 is one of the best operators in the CIS and in particular in the Russian Federation, so the company guarantees not only convenient use of its network, but also provides zero-cost options. Thanks to the various opportunities provided by Tele2, the company’s subscribers remain connected in any situation, regardless of the size of the phone balance.
Replenishment via electronic wallets
Electronic wallets were originally invented for paying for services and goods on the Internet, as well as for mutual settlements. They are most often used by freelancers who need to accept payment for their own services. The most popular wallets in Russia are Yandex.Money (now Yumani), Webmoney and Qiwi. The commission amount in Webmoney is 0.8% of the payment amount. There are no commissions charged in the Qiwi and Yumani payment systems.
