The mobile operator Tele2 has a similar innovation and is called “Other Rules”. What the card is, how to use it and what conditions there are for it will be discussed in more detail in the description.
Description of Tele2 MasterCard
Virtual Tele2 MasterCard is an online card for payments on the Internet. It does not have a physical medium, but nevertheless has the same characteristics as standard plastic:
- 16-digit number, which is based on the Tele2 subscriber’s phone number;
- validity period;
- owner's name;
- code of authenticity (CVC).
The card issuer is Tavrichesky Bank (St. Petersburg). It is issued in the transnational payment system MasterCard, which is accepted by online stores in 210 countries.
Important!
A distinctive feature of the Tele2 virtual card is its single balance with the subscriber’s telephone account. It is issued for six months. It can be reissued in the future without restrictions.
Tele2 bank card #otherrules from Tinkoff.

Minuses.

Advantages of Tele2 MasterCard
Virtual Tele2 MasterCard has a number of advantages over classic cards:
- It is easy to use and replenish. The card works like a standard bank card on a plastic carrier. You don't have to worry about losing it or forgetting your PIN code. It’s easy to remember the card number, since it is based on the subscriber’s phone number. Tele2 MasterCard is easy to top up: just add money to the number.
- Its design is not difficult. To receive a card, you do not need to visit the provider or bank office, write applications, or wait. You just need to submit a request using the USSD command or through your personal account on the Tele2 website. It is released instantly, already active and ready for use.
- The money on the card is safe. A one-time CVC code for online purchases is sent to your phone via SMS. It is only valid for 1 hour. If you enter the wrong CVC 3 times in a row, the card will be blocked, so it is impossible to guess the code and steal the funds.
