Tele2 options - connecting and disconnecting (part 1)

Services for calls and SMS

This category presents services that allow you to reduce the cost of calls and sending classic SMS. Their list included:

“Unlimited on Tele2” – an unlimited number of calls to Tele2 numbers in your home region with a subscription fee of 5 rubles/day;
“Zero everywhere” – reduces the cost of calls when traveling around Russia. There is a single price for all Russian numbers – 2 rubles/min, SMS cost – 2.5 rubles/piece. Subscription fee – 3 rubles/day, first connection – free, each subsequent connection – 30 rubles;

“My Unlimited Tele2 - everything is new...

Summary.

The “Lots of Internet” service looks much better in words than in reality. One of its main disadvantages is its availability only on the operator’s most expensive tariffs – where the Internet package is already quite large. But if you need to increase it, then the option is perfect for this.

All other limitations are quite typical, and there is no point in writing them down as disadvantages - all operators have been working this way for many years. They are associated with traffic restrictions depending on the type of device. So, if you need Internet for your computer, use one of the separately connected Internet packages.
