Functions and description of the service

The Tele2Menu application combines several services that provide the client with up-to-date information on his number, allow him to set up entertainment subscriptions for his leisure time, and receive newsletters.

Through the menu, you can quickly contact the operator and perform most of the actions to quickly configure the necessary options. Before you remove “Tele2 Menu”, you should think about whether it might be better to disable pop-up windows and exclude those options that are not currently needed. Let's look at what the user can do using the preinstalled Tele2Menu program:

• check the status of your personal account: traffic balance, SMS, minutes;
• receive tariff information;
• connect the Internet, set up traffic;
• use services: weather, jokes, horoscope, exchange rates, music, etc.;
• take part in online competitions by sending SMS.

For subscribers who have joined the mobile operator’s network since 2021, instead of the “Tele2Menu” application, a similar one, “Tele2Theme”, has been developed. It is activated after turning on the SIM card for the first time and has similar options.

About the Tele2 menu service

After installing a SIM card, all subscribers of the company also receive a special menu for use. This is a collection of various programs, often it includes partner applications that periodically issue pop-up messages. They can appear on a smartphone randomly or after a time specified by the developers. And if Tele2 receives funds from such activity, then it causes inconvenience to users.

Before disabling a menu, it is recommended to find out what the user is voluntarily opting out of. Among the applications you can find:

• Help services. These are options from the operator itself; they allow you to find out what the balance is on your phone, how to use your smartphone, where to find the desired function, etc.
• Entertainment applications. This group includes programs that are available for viewing and participation. They are used on the road.
• Instructions for setting up work with a virtual network. They indicate combinations for requests, as well as step-by-step instructions for activating and deactivating services.
• Online services in the SIM card menu.
• Weather forecasts and services for communicating with other users. There will also be numbers from personal contacts, and therefore it is possible to write to them if you are not able to make a call.
• Games, quizzes, competitions. These are applications that allow you, with a certain level of activity, to become the owner of a valuable or cash prize.
• Videos, clips, music, games. These sections are the most visited, and therefore the operator does not forget to update them and offer new versions of existing software.
• An option for adults, which allows you to view and rate adult videos on Android. This option can be blocked personally. This is especially valuable if the phone is in the use of a child.

However, installed applications lead to the Tele2 menu constantly popping up. It's distracting and causes a lot of trouble. To avoid inconvenience, you can disable the service.

• *153# ― a list of numbers to disable each of the services;
• *152*0# — stopping the service.

After each command, you must turn off the phone and turn it on again; this is the only way to disable the intrusive sending of notifications.

The option blocks unnecessary SMS and is activated automatically when you connect the Tele2Menu application. The main disadvantage of this option is the need to manually enter unwanted numbers from which the subscriber does not want to receive mailings.

The option is free and starts working after the first number is added to the list. The maximum number of blocked numbers is 70. You can add both phone numbers and the sender's name to the list. You can manage the list by sending the following SMS to the number 345.
