Is it possible to re-register a Tele2 SIM card for another person?
The operator tries to adapt to the needs of customers as much as possible, therefore, it leaves to each subscriber the opportunity to transfer the number to a third party. It is called and is provided to individuals free of charge. To use it:

- Prepare the necessary documents.
- Check that the power of attorney (if you are a representative of the subscriber) is notarized.
Note! If most Tele2 offers are available online, you can change the owner of the number only in branded showrooms. Third-party services presented online are fraudulent.
Causes
Why change your Tele2 SIM card? The reasons can be completely different.
Let's start with the fact that not long ago many subscribers of this mobile operator received an SMS from Tele2 about the need to replace their SIM card. What is this connected with? The fact is that many of the company’s clients still use the old-style Tele2 SIM, which should be replaced if only because such a card does not support the 4G communication format. In addition, older generation cards cannot work correctly with new equipment, which means the signal quality will also be significantly worse. Replacing the Tele2 SIM card with 4G is a necessity dictated by the development of modern technologies.
Replacing an old Tele2 SIM card with a new one may also be necessary for the following reasons:
- Your mobile device has been stolen or lost. In this case, the SIM card must be blocked urgently, because with its help you can easily obtain passwords from mobile commerce services.
- The blocking occurred as a result of an incorrectly entered PUK code. If you enter this combination incorrectly several times, you will no longer be able to unlock the SIM card on your own; you will need to get a duplicate. You can read more information about how a Tele2 SIM card is unlocked in our other article.
- The card needs to be replaced if it has become unusable - it has been scratched, etc. very often subscribers encounter such an unpleasant situation because they often move the SIM card of their device to another.
- You can safely add to this list the exchange of a standard format SIM card for micro-SIM or nano-SIM. Almost all modern devices support the last two formats.
Well, we’ve figured out the reasons, let’s get back to how to change an old SIM card to a new one in Tele2. You can also read another article on our website: how to find out the balance on Tele2.
How to re-register a Tele2 SIM card to another person
To change one subscriber to another in a contract, you should contact any of the operator’s operating salons. If a change in the owner of a Tele2 number occurs between two individuals, the transferring and receiving parties provide the consultant with passports and draw up a corresponding application. Those who don’t want to waste time can download a layout of the application on the operator’s website, print it and fill it out in advance. However, it is better not to fill in the “date” and “signature” columns (to avoid problems).
If the transfer of a telephone number occurs between an individual and a legal entity (the direction of the transfer is not important), then the consultant will ask you to provide:
- Passport of an individual.
- Documents that could confirm the identity of the company representative and his right to conduct such operations.
- An application requesting re-registration of a number from an individual to a legal entity (or vice versa).
If the original holder of the telephone number transferred to Tele2 from another operator, an additional agreement “On the transfer of rights and assignment of obligations” is drawn up.
Note! The assignment of rights to a telephone number is possible only if the receiving party is registered in the home region where it (the number) was purchased.
Features of re-registration as a friend or relative
You only need to contact the sales office. The procedure looks like this:
- Find out where the nearest service center is located. To do this, you need to call the reference and information service at 611. The call is free. You can also visit the organization's website.
- Collect all documentation (passports of both parties, petition. If necessary, a power of attorney is drawn up and certified by an accredited notary office).
- Visit a communication salon at any convenient time.
- Provide documents to the office employee.
- Sign the re-concluded agreement (both parties personally sign).
- Pay for the service (50 rub.)
- Attention
- Each region has its own conditions for re-registration. They need to be clarified in advance.
How to re-register a Tele2 SIM card in your name without a passport
As mentioned above, having a passport is mandatory for re-registration of documents. However, re-issuing a Tele2 SIM card to another person is possible even in his absence. The main thing is to document your identity to the consultant responsible for preparing the papers. In addition to the passport, documents of the following categories are suitable for this case:
- A certificate issued to a Russian citizen by the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the time of change or restoration of a passport.
- Certificate of a military serviceman of the Russian Federation.
- Military ID of a conscript, contract soldier, cadet.
- National/foreign passport – for foreign citizens.
Those who apply without a passport or other documents will be denied the service. Sometimes a driver’s license is enough for an employee. However, this type of document is not included in the list of documents acceptable for identity verification on the Tele2 website. Such concessions are considered the exception rather than the rule. Therefore, you should not count on them on an ongoing basis.
From individual to legal entity
Have you registered an individual entrepreneur and want your personal number to become a corporate number? In such cases, it is possible to change the owner of the Tele2 number and re-register the contract from an individual to a legal entity. The following documents must be provided:
- Passport or other identification document of the giving party
- Passport of a representative of a legal entity
- Application for renewal
- Application for renewal of the contract, certified by the seal and signature of the head of the organization
- Fifty rubles for the service
An important aspect is that the contract can be renewed only if there is no debt on it for the provision of communication services.
If, after reading the article, you change your mind about renewing the contract, we recommend reading about how much a Tele2 SIM card costs, the material is on our website.
How to re-register a Tele2 number to yourself without the owner
Concluding the topic, let's talk about how to re-register a Tele2 SIM card to yourself without the owner? The absence of one of the parties when renewing the contract is not a new situation for the operator. The rules of the service on the website clearly state that this is possible, but only if the absent participant is replaced by an official representative. Moreover, the person in whose presence the contract will be renegotiated must have a power of attorney confirming his rights and obligations.
Additional nuance: the submitted power of attorney must be notarized. The need for such a requirement arose because in recent years attempts at document fraud have become more frequent among Tele 2 subscribers. Therefore, make sure that you have a power of attorney to carry out such transactions and that it has not expired.
If you are interested in the method of re-issuing a Tele2 SIM card in the absence of the owner (without his knowledge), we hasten to disappoint you. There is no such option in the list of services offered. A number transfer is possible only if both parties (or their official representatives) agree and have documented their desire.
Re-issuance of a SIM card in the presence of the owner
The simplest and most reliable way to re-register a number requires the presence of the owner. Moreover, many operators do not even have the opportunity to re-register a number without the presence of the owner. If you have the opportunity to come to the operator’s office together with the owner of the number, then no more problems will arise when renewing the contract. At the operator’s office, both parties must sign an act of acceptance and transfer of rights and obligations.
To re-register a number you must:
- Appear with the owner of the number at the nearest operator’s office (both parties must have a passport with them);
- Fill out an application for re-registration of a number;
- Pay for the service. The cost of re-issuing a number will differ depending on the operator (MTS - 340 rubles, Beeline - 50 rubles, MegaFon - 150 rubles).
- Attention
- If at the time of renewal of the SIM card there is a debt on the number, it must be repaid. Re-issuance of a number with a negative balance is not possible.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated about changing the owner of a number. Before renewing your SIM card, we recommend that you go to the operator’s official website and familiarize yourself with the nuances of this procedure. You can also get specialist advice by calling the customer support center. In addition, you can ask a question in the comments, most importantly, indicate your operator.
Problems with number renewal may arise for those who, for certain reasons, cannot come to the operator’s office along with the owner of the SIM card. If the owner of the number is in another city and you cannot meet, he can issue a power of attorney to re-register the contract at any office of the operator. It is much more difficult to re-register a number if the owner has died.
In the event of the death of the owner of the number, the following documents will be required to re-issue a SIM card:
- Russian passport;
- original death certificate of the contract owner;
- certificate of entry into inheritance rights.
If none of the above options suits you, you can only hope that your operator provides the opportunity to reissue a SIM card without the participation of the owner.
You can re-register the number in your name at any mobile operator office. To do this, you need to come to the television system service center with the owner of the SIM card and passports. Next, you need to contact the manager of the cellular company with your request.
After presenting and verifying the documents, you will need to fill out an application, indicating the personal data of both individuals and the reason for changing the card owner. Next, the consultant will check the information you entered, and if everything is correct, he will invite the person reissuing the card in his name to sign an agreement with the telesystem.
After the SIM card is reissued and the number is assigned to the new subscriber, all funds available on the SIM card balance, as well as connected options and tariffs, are automatically transferred to the new owner.
The only service that cannot be inherited is national and international roaming, since these packages are activated upon a separate application from the user.
Now let's consider the option when it is necessary to re-issue a card from a legal entity to an individual.
The procedure itself for such re-issuance of a SIM card is carried out in the presence of an official representative of the legal party and in the personal presence of an individual. In this case, the legal side must provide the telesystem manager with the following package of documents:
- letter of guarantee certified by the seal and signature of the manager. The letter form can be found on the official website of the mobile operator or obtained directly from the provider’s office;
- a notarized power of attorney with the seal and signature of the head of the organization.
An individual will only need an original passport. And also after checking all the documents, the new owner will need to sign an agreement with the television system, after which he will become the legal owner of the SIM card.
It is important to know that for re-issuing a number, a service fee of 340 rubles will be charged to the new owner of the SIM card.
The answer to the question of what to do if you need to change the owner of a SIM card, but there is no way to invite its real owner to the office, can be found below.
Of course, the easiest option to change the owner of the number is to re-register the card in the presence of its owner. Moreover, some mobile operators do not have such a service as the banner of the owner of a SIM card without its direct owner.
Therefore, if you want to re-register a SIM card for yourself, the easiest way to do this is with the real owner of the number. We have already described the algorithm for transferring a SIM card to another individual at the beginning of the article. However, it would be useful to familiarize yourself with some rules for re-issuing a SIM card:
- the service cannot be provided if the card balance is negative;
- re-registration cannot be made if there is an outstanding debt on the number;
- Also, replacing the owner of the number will be difficult if the real owner is wanted or cannot provide original documents.
