Tariffing and range of services

Tele2 has developed the “Classical” tariff based on service packages that were previously offered by all mobile network operators. Today, only this mobile company provides such a package of services. There are no analogues in this market segment. Classic users are completely deprived of any subscription fee and pay only for the services they use. The tariff went on sale in 2021 and was developed for users who do not want to overpay for services that they do not use.

The name of the tariff speaks for itself. “Classic” - these are the conditions for using the network that were presented by various mobile companies in the first years of development, after which users were forced to switch to a daily/monthly subscription system.

The main thing in the development of Tele2 is that the user himself controls the funds in his account. Tariffication of Tele2 “Classic” is per minute. The cost of a call is calculated based on the cost of one minute of conversation.

Calls

Calls for Tele2 “Classic” subscribers are calculated per minute for calls throughout Russia and the CIS countries. Thus, the cost of an outgoing minute of conversation depends on the territorial location of the subscriber and the current price in the region of residence. Incoming calls are accepted free of charge.

Roaming is calculated in the order of the connected roaming package (the subscriber can select the required package independently by contacting a mobile phone store, the official website of the company or by calling the operator’s number).

Important! The cost of calls outside the local region will be calculated based on the tariffs in the region of your stay.

The cost of an outgoing minute according to the “Classical” tariff plan:

• A call within the territory of the Russian Federation, the cost per minute will be 1.9 rubles;
• Calls to CIS countries, the cost per minute is 30 rubles;
• Call to European countries - 49 rubles/min.;
• Call within the Baltic countries - 69 RUR/min.

It is best to learn from a company specialist about how to activate roaming and which package is suitable for a particular client. In an official mobile phone store or by phone number of the operator. To familiarize yourself, it is recommended to visit the company’s website.

The company’s client who chooses this tariff is provided with an “Internet session” - 150 KB of traffic. This option is provided for a day. Upon exhaustion of the provided volume, tariffs are calculated in Mg - 1 Mg/1.9 rubles.

How to completely turn off the Internet

• The second way is to dial 611, dictate your passport details to the operator and, with the help of the operator, disable access to the Internet.

Additionally, you can remove all services, including turning off the Internet, in your personal account, but this is not always convenient, especially if you don’t have a device to access the network. And the Internet on the “Classic” tariff is quite expensive, which is unacceptable.

Roaming

The Tele2 network offers its customers several options for operating a mobile network in roaming conditions. And it has two categories: roaming within Russia and roaming outside the country.

Roaming in Russia should be activated for those clients who are often traveling and on business trips. This option is calculated for each region individually. This service is provided to Tele2 SIM card owners automatically and applies to all company service packages. More information about roaming in Russia can be found from specialists at branded communication stores or by phone (calls are free of charge).

Important! The operator advises you to disable the “call forwarding” option. Calls received by voicemail will also be recorded as an incoming call.

The cost of services provided in roaming by the Tele2 network in an international format is calculated based on the individual characteristics of the region of residence. All tariffs for many regions of Russia are individual, and the calculation of foreign roaming also includes the territory in which the subscriber intends to make incoming/outgoing calls. All necessary information for review is on the Tele2 website in the “International Roaming” section.
