Tele2 Roaming in Russia Canceled or Not 2021

When going on a business trip or vacation abroad, or outside the home zone of a mobile operator, it was previously important to activate roaming on Tele2. Now this service is activated automatically, not counting some foreign countries where it is necessary to make certain manipulations to connect to cellular communications, but there are only a few such countries. However, the cost of making calls and sending SMS when you are outside your home zone is quite high, so in order to save money, you can connect special additional service packages to reduce the cost of communication services.

Roaming in Russia

When leaving the home zone, the roaming service is activated without subscriber intervention. If the territory of your stay has coverage from the mobile operator Tele2, then the cost will be only 1.5 rubles/min.

The situation will be different if there is no coverage for this operator. Calls will be expensive and then it is recommended to temporarily purchase a SIM card from another operator. If this option is not acceptable, you can connect an additional one. After this, all incoming calls from any operator will be free, and outgoing calls will cost only 2 rubles/min.

To connect “Zero Everywhere”, you can use one of three methods:

enter USSD command * 143 * 21 #;
using your personal account, in which you need to go to the “Service Management” section;
call the help desk at 611 (if the person has already left the home zone, you can call back at +7 (951) 520-06-11

What to choose

In your choice, you should start from the characteristics of your own contact list. So, if most of your friends, relatives and colleagues are connected to the same operator as you, then the cheapest Tele2 tariffs for calls will be as follows:

“My Tele2” - if you do not call or almost do not call other communication providers.
“My conversation” - in the case when there is a need for a certain number of outgoing calls outside the network.

When offline calls require more minutes, pay attention to “My Online” or “My Online+”. There are good volume packages (500 and 1500 minutes, respectively) for calls to all operators. If you practically do not make outgoing calls, and you only need a SIM card for incoming ones, it is better to choose “Classic”, which has no subscription fee. Important! This article provides names, prices and conditions for tariffs in Moscow and Moscow Region. This information may vary in other regions. This will not prevent you from deciding which tariff is better on Tele2 for calls, however, before connecting, we advise you to check all the data on the operator’s website, in the “Tariffs” section.

Reviews about roaming cancellation

Despite the fact that Tele2 subscribers received the news about the transition to roaming-free mode with joy, some skeptics stated: “You will have to pay in any case!”
Not only has no one canceled the subscription fee, but all calls outside the home region will still be regarded by the operator as long-distance calls, which means that the fee for them will remain the same.

Mobile Research group analyst Eldar Murtazin stated this in an interview with the National News Service. He noted that, in fact, roaming has been canceled at the request of the FAS, but calls outside of roaming will still be charged as for long-distance calls. “We just changed the awl for soap,” the expert said.

However, many Tele2 subscribers confirm the words of Eldar Murtazin: fees for long-distance calls have not gone away.

It turns out that the good intentions of the FAS were defeated again: providers do not want to lose money - it’s not for nothing that they delayed so long with the deadline for canceling roaming, as a result of which they never actually canceled it. Ultimately, it is the consumer who suffers.

Tariff plans in this category are suitable for those who often make calls to Tele2 operator numbers. If you have mostly phones from this mobile operator in your phone book, then feel free to connect to the “Black” or “Yellow” tariff.

The “Yellow” tariff plan is perfect for budget-conscious subscribers, as it does not require a mandatory subscription fee. At the same time, you only need to pay for the first minute, and starting from the second, calls are not charged.
