“Unlimited Internet abroad” from Tele2: detailed description, pros and cons of the option

In order for subscribers to be able to stay in touch and have access to the Internet when traveling outside Russia, Tele2 has released several lucrative offers that are attractive due to their cost and number of opportunities. - one of these offers that allows you to save significantly when paying for the Internet in international roaming.

“Unlimited Internet abroad” from Tele2 eliminates unexpected costs for the Internet outside of Russia. Access to the network is unlimited, and is paid only on the days you use the service.

The company also introduced a rule: when paying for the service, the client does not pay a subscription fee for the connected tariff plan. This is very convenient for subscribers.

The cost of the service is 350 rubles per day of use. The first 200 MB are provided at the fastest speed available in the region. Subsequent traffic has a speed of no more than 128 Kbps, but this is enough for communicating on social networks and instant messengers, and listening to music.

“Unlimited Internet abroad” from Tele2: detailed description

So, as for the financial conditions of the proposal, they are as follows:

• Activation fee: none;
• There is no fee for using the service during the subscriber’s stay on the territory of the Russian Federation;

The Tele2 press center states that the speed is 128 Kbps. will be enough for comfortable use of social media. networks, instant messengers, and even listening to music online, but I want to assure you that at this speed listening to music on the Internet will be quite problematic, and on social networks, where today images and videos are the main consumed content, it will be very difficult to “surf” difficult. As for instant messengers, test correspondence will remain as comfortable as at higher speeds. On the other hand, what else do you need from messengers?

• Those who travel to Montenegro are generally lucky - real unlimited;

Minuses

• 200 MB. per day is certainly not enough. There would be more
• 350 ₽ is a bit expensive, of course. It would be cheaper

Advantages and disadvantages of the service

Numerous subscribers using this service note the following advantages:

• Fast and free activation and deactivation of the service.
• Efficiency in many countries popular with Russian tourists.
• Favorable price for owners of tariff plans.

Alas, unlimited Internet from Tele2 also has disadvantages:

• Speed ​​limit. 128 Kbps is hardly enough to download VKontakte pictures, let alone watch videos.
• A small traffic package provided at maximum speed.

Of course, the usefulness of the service depends on the specific user and the Internet usage scenario. After reviewing the terms of connection, the subscriber decides for himself whether this or that service is suitable for him.

Methods for connecting and disconnecting the Tele2 tariff

Activation of additional services is carried out using standard methods. The user is able to carry out the installation independently without leaving home. As a last resort, you can turn to specialists from Tele2 for help.

Personal Area

The user is able to receive information about the current balance status, package balances, install and disable additional options and tariff plans. Only owners of a Tele2 SIM card can enter the account. To install services, follow these steps:

2. Log in to the system using your personal account by entering your phone number and password.
3. Open the service management section on the main interface page.

1. Install the application on your phone. It is freely available for Android and iOS.
2. Log in to your account. Enter your phone number and password.

An easier method is to dial the USSD combination. The request is completely free. Let’s look at the table on how to activate and disable Tele2’s “Internet on the Peninsula”:

After receiving the required result, a confirmation message from Tele2 will be sent to your phone.

If you cannot install or disable the service yourself, ask Tele2 consultants for help. Call technical support number 611 and wait for the manager to respond. Or visit the nearest operator service office in your city. The provider's representative has the right to request your passport information for identification. There is no charge for calling the hotline.

Service management

Disabling and connecting the Internet connection service abroad from Tele2 can be done by visiting a communication store in person or with the help of a customer support operator by calling 611. The express method involves entering a simple combination. Subscription management:

• connect - *143*71#;
• disable — *143*70#;
• check balance - *143*7.

A remote control option is also provided: through the personal account of the Tele2 virtual resource or the provider’s mobile application, which can be downloaded for iOS and Android smartphones. After logging into any of these resources, you need to find the option in the “Tariffs and Services” section, enable, deactivate, or check for a subscription on your number.

Summary.

The service has a number of limitations that do not make the subscriber’s stay on the Internet too comfortable. The package provided is not very large, and a drop in speed to 128kbit/sec literally throws the user back 10 years, to the days of EDGE.

However, if there is no fish, there is no cancer, and our operators abroad do not have many profitable offers on the Internet. Internet abroad is an expensive pleasure. In this regard, the option fits well into the general market conditions.

At the same time, the operator tried to somehow soften the conditions by providing customers with a discount on the monthly fee according to their tariffs. The list of countries in which this service operates is also encouraging.

Thus, we can recommend the “Unlimited Internet Abroad” service from the Tele2 operator to those who cannot imagine their life without the Internet and are willing to spend a tidy sum on it. For everyone else, we recommend saving money and enjoying your vacation without the Internet - or using local Wi-Fi.

Description of the service.

The essence of the option is simple: you pay a certain amount per day, and for this you get unlimited access to the Internet. It is not limited, however, only by time - the speed drops after 200 MB to 128 kbit/sec. The service costs 350 rubles per day.

According to the operator's promises, the package is quite enough for a comfortable stay on the network, however, we seriously doubt it. In our life, 200MB is a rather small package. You are unlikely to be able to watch many videos or listen to enough music. Applications like VKontakte or Instagram also waste a lot of traffic due to a large amount of text information.

Tourist sim cards

Translation of the inscription “Lord, will there be free Wi-Fi in these mountains?”

A tourist SIM card for the Internet is the same SIM card, but with special tariffs (favorable for traveling abroad). There is no need to reconfigure it and connect 100,500 options - you insert it into a slot in your phone, it registers itself in foreign cellular networks and immediately starts working.

+ Prices for calls within the country and to Russia are in most cases lower than those of our operators.

+ Available package or megabyte Internet.

+ No monthly fee.

But there are also disadvantages:

— You will have to change the number if the phone is not a dual-SIM one.

— Fixed replenishment amount. Which, however, can be turned into a plus, because the money does not burn if the SIM card is not needed yet.

— In some countries they are wildly unprofitable (for example, in Bahrain or the Maldives).

For us, travel SIM cards are a universal thing. Firstly, they help out when you’ve just arrived and you need to write an SMS to your mom/order a taxi/go online at the airport, but you can’t get wi-fi. Secondly, when there are 2-3 countries on the route at once, the SIM card instantly adapts to the tariffs of the location (but you should check them yourself in advance). Our choice is the Drimsim card already 2 years old ↓

Drimsim

You see your balance and spending details through the application, convenient!

So, the most reliable and thoughtful invention of mankind for communication abroad. Both in our humble opinion and in the reviews of tourists.

What is good about Drimsim, besides the action everywhere?

• There is no stupid link “Y rubles per day - and here you have X MB of traffic for max. speed, and everything higher is at a snail’s speed.” The speed is constant, and money is debited only for the megabytes spent, at a fixed rate. The latter depends on the country you are visiting (and in almost all popular destinations they are adequate).
• The money in your account will not go anywhere if you don’t use the SIM card. They calmly wait for the next trip. PS Therefore, the minimum replenishment amount – 25 euros – is not so scary.
• There is a mobile application where it is convenient to monitor expenses and balance (down to a second and a kilobyte), track the cost of local communications and top up your account.

The prices are almost the same as if you get a local SIM card. More numbers, fewer words:

Coverage area: 197 countries.

Goodline

There must always be an alternative, right? Dreamsim's direct competitor is a SIM card with international roaming from Goodline. Unlike Dreamsim, Goodline is trying to “take over” with various packages for the Internet.

Among the big advantages of using a SIM card is the Good-roaming tariff:

• Free inbox in 140 countries (Dreamsim only 77)
• The ability to make free calls to Russia on Viber without the Internet (but not from everywhere).

If you do not subscribe to any package, the prices are as follows:

Goodline offers to reduce the cost of mobile Internet abroad using the following packages:

• “Europe for $0.01/MB.” At first glance, it seems profitable - 60 kopecks per megabyte! But the $3 charged for connection gives a total of: 1GB = $13. Dreamsim has 1GB = €10.24 (but it slightly loses in San Marino, Luxembourg, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus). Coverage area: European countries.
• “Türkiye 1 GB for $10” is an interesting option, it connects for free. The only thing is that it is valid for 14 days. Coverage area: Türkiye only.
• “Europe” – gives 5GB for 14 days for $29, i.e. 30 kopecks per megabyte. Coverage area: European countries.

Tariffs for international roaming Beeline

With the service activated, you can make calls throughout Russia, taking advantage of the main advantage - free incoming calls from both landlines and mobiles. The subscription fee is carried out on a daily basis and depends on the number of days in a particular month.
