High-speed 4G modem Tele2
If a user needs really fast Internet access, the best choice would be 4G tariffs from Tele2 and the appropriate equipment for connection.
The cost of such network access is slightly higher than in the previous case, the equipment is more expensive, but the speeds are completely different. In the basic kit, users are offered a modem model MF823D from ZTE, as well as a SIM card on which the “Internet for devices” tariff plan and the Suitcase option are already connected. The price for the set is just under 900 rubles, which is not much more than the cost of a similar set for 3G. The connection follows the same scheme - the device is inserted into the USB connector, after which it automatically installs the necessary software and is configured for operating mode. There are no problems with connecting the modem; there is no need to download additional software - everything that is required is already in the device.
The technical characteristics and capabilities of the modem are of greatest interest, such as:
- use of standard SIM cards;
- download data at speeds up to 100 Mbit/s;
- data transfer at speeds up to 50 Mbit/s;
- interaction with all Tele2 networks, starting from 2G.
- Supports all popular PC operating systems.
The reviews left by users highly appreciate the capabilities of this 4G device - using it is much more profitable and technically feasible than 3G. The device can also operate in networks with lower data transfer speeds, and if high-speed Internet is available, it automatically connects to it. The device is adapted to work only with SIM cards from the operator - service provider.
Which modem to choose: 3G or 4G
When choosing between the third and fourth generations, in addition to cost, it is necessary to take into account the individual needs that will be presented to Internet content every day.
If we are talking about working with email services, watching short videos, surfing social networks or playing light games, then the Tele2 3G USB modem will perfectly cover such requirements and will not be a problem for the monthly budget.
But for professionals who work a lot with graphics, strategic gamers or movie buffs who watch TV series for several hours a day, it is better to purchase a 4G Tele2 USB modem and not risk the speed of data exchange over the network.
In any case, the fourth generation is rapidly expanding its presence and is gradually displacing previous platforms. Choosing it for long-term use will be a strategic investment.
Additional paid options
Now you can tell us in more detail about the services that are provided to the subscriber additionally on a paid basis. The operator’s website presents a number of traffic packages that can be connected at a favorable price. The following can be activated for the “Internet for Devices” tariff on a Tele2 4G router:
- 50 GB. The price for the offer is 999 rubles, payment is charged immediately after connection, and then every month. To activate the function, enter the code *155*701# on your mobile phone or via software. If the traffic is not used, its balance is transferred to the new month. You can refuse the option by entering the combination *155*700#. From 12 at night until 6 in the morning, the client can download movies and play online games without spending traffic.
- 20 GB. To activate the option on the SIM card, you need to enter the code numbers *155*691#. After connection, 699 rubles will be withdrawn from the user’s balance. The same amount will be charged every month. To check how many GB are available, enter the code. At night, traffic is not used, you can actively download movies and listen to music. You can refuse the option by entering *155*690#.
- 15 GB. This service is also called “Internet to Tablet”. To activate it, enter *155*671#. The cost of the offer is 499 rubles. To cancel the service, you must enter the code *155*670#. Here the client receives additional access to the Tele2 TV and Sound applications on an unlimited basis. The remaining traffic will be transferred to the new billing period. To disable the function, use the combination *155*670#.
- 7 GB. The offer will cost the subscriber 299 rubles. This amount of traffic is enough for rare viewing of videos and listening to music. To activate the function, you must enter the code *155*681#. The remaining gigabytes are transferred to the new month if they have not been spent. The Internet can be used throughout the country. You can cancel the service by entering *155*680#.
- Interesting information
- When the entire package of gigabytes is spent, 1 GB packages are automatically connected to the SIM card. Their cost is 100 rubles for each connection. Only five packages can be activated during a month. Next, access to the network will be suspended until a new billing period occurs.
Difference between 3G and 4G networks
The Tele2 modem for a computer can connect to network types such as 3G and 4G. The first connection has been used by subscribers for many years, and 3G coverage is available in all cities and some towns of the country. If we talk about the 4G network, it appeared not so long ago; such connections are available in large cities.
There are differences in internet connection speed between 3G and 4G. The new network has been improved by the company, so it allows you to use the Internet at high speed without failures or errors. According to the operator, connecting to 4G makes it possible to download files at a speed of 100 Mb/s. However, 3G has lower rates, they are only 21 Mb/s. If the connection speed is not important to the subscriber, then you should look at the network coverage in your area of residence. 3G will be enough to communicate on social networks and watch videos.
The 4G USB modem model is purchased by users to perform broad tasks, for example, to play online games without restrictions or download heavy files. If there are no such tasks, then you can buy a regular 3G device. The difference lies in the price of equipment, since 4G models cost 2 times more than 3G equipment.
Settings Features
Having learned how to connect a TELE2 modem to a laptop or desktop PC, you should proceed to the setup process, which has its own characteristics.
- By default, the router itself determines the type of connection available in a particular location at a particular time. But the Internet settings for the TELE2 modem also require manual control. And therefore, to create a 3G mode, you need to enable the “Network” option, the “WCDMA” network type, and the “All bands” band. But if there is a very weak signal, then it is better to set the network parameters to “GSM Only”.
- Also, the latest versions of high-speed Internet equipment support virtual network cards. Here, connecting and setting up the TELE2 3G modem may conflict with the operating system. For example, at the stage of obtaining an IP address, the program cannot obtain it. In this case, in the “Options” settings you need to set the connection type to RAS (modem).
- Before connecting the TELE2 modem, you must remove the software for Internet equipment from other operators. Otherwise, the required device will not operate correctly.

note
This device can only function with SIM cards from the Tele2 mobile operator. If you connect via another network, access will be blocked.
Distinctive features of the router
To connect 4G Internet using a Tele2 router, you will need the device itself and a SIM card.
The router is also pre-configured for an automatic Internet connection, which occurs the first time you connect. In this case, the device is subject to the installation of the necessary programs, which will subsequently allow you to use 4G Internet and track the statistics of consumed traffic.
If you want to achieve wireless Internet access using a router, then use a SIM card.
How to find out the balance on a Tele2 modem?
In order to find out the balance of funds on the Tele2 modem, there are several ways:
- First way. Enter the command *105#, after entering a message will appear with information about the modem account. Also, using this request, you can obtain information about the balance from other operators. This method is free and will not require the debiting of additional funds. On outdated models, the message may be displayed with incomprehensible symbols; if this happens, use the methods below.
- You can find out the balance of funds by calling 697. The call fee is not charged if you are in your home zone, but if you are outside of it, then you may be charged for making the call. For people who don’t know how to find out the remaining traffic on a Tele2 modem, this method is also suitable.
- There is also a rather interesting way to find out the remainder. To do this, you need to go to the mobile portal and enter the combination *111#. Thanks to this method, you can find out not only how much money is left, but also a lot of other useful information. And this simple command is very easy to remember, and it is already written in the phone book after activating the SIM card. To use the mobile portal you need to pay monthly, according to your tariff.
- The last, but not the most convenient way is checking through your personal account. To do this, you need to go to the operator’s website, register and log in. After this, you will receive all the information on your number, namely the account status, the remaining megabytes for the Internet, cash consumption, and much other information.
Thanks to these methods, you now know how to check the balance on a Tele2 modem.
Connection
The surest way to connect a 4G modem is to place an order on the operator’s official website by following the link: //msk.tele2.ru/shop/product/mbb/usb-modem-tele2-4g .
Next, find the “Connect” button at the bottom right and click on it. From the list of numbers presented, choose the most suitable one for yourself and then place your order.
Tariff for Tele2 USB modem “Internet for devices”: how to connect it to a SIM card
If you like the conditions of this tariff plan, then you can purchase a SIM card with it at any Tele2 store and start using it immediately. Also, you can easily connect a tariff plan to a SIM card you already have by calling the short number 630. By the way, before activation, it would be useful to familiarize yourself with the following rules for using a SIM card:
- If for some reason you do not use your SIM card for more than four months, your number may be blocked and your money may be debited.
- If your balance remains at zero or below for more than one hundred and eighty days, your card will be permanently blocked.
- If there are no paid actions from your card for one hundred and twenty days, and no replenishment of the balance is made during this time, then your SIM card will fall under the “inactive mode” category. In this case, a daily subscription fee of 3 rubles will begin to be debited from it until a zero balance is reached or any amount is credited to the account.
If you need to configure the Tele2 modem mode, follow the link provided and read our other article on this topic.
Cost of Tele2 modems
The prices for modems produced by the Tele2 operator are strikingly different, which is explained by the difference in connection speed:
- A 3G modem will cost 1,100 rubles;
- A 4G modem can be purchased for 2,500 rubles.
The Tele2 modem comes with a SIM card with a connected tariff.
To create a Wi-Fi connection and connect several devices to it at once, you need to purchase a special router. This can be done from any operator that provides the relevant services.
Unlimited Internet in a Tele2 modem.
Of course, traffic restrictions do not suit users. Therefore, they begin to look for offers for completely unlimited Internet for modems. From time to time, some operators - for example, Yota - offer something similar, with restrictions on distribution or downloading via torrents.
Tele2 currently has only one current offer with unlimited Internet - this is the “My Unlimited” tariff. Of course, it has a number of restrictions, including a ban on use in routers and modems. However, judging by user reviews, there are ways to get around it. But, unfortunately, it is impossible to legally get unlimited Internet via a USB modem or router on Tele2.
How to connect unlimited Internet to your tablet.
"Internet for devices"
The operator offers modem tariffs in several variations, but the most popular product is for tablets, which is easy to connect yourself and customize the offer for yourself. Tele2's unlimited internet for a modem has its pros and cons. Let's consider the main characteristics of the offer:
- Tariffing can be used at home and while traveling around the Russian Federation: work, play, read books, watch movies and videos, use social networks and applications, or study information content on third-party resources.
- Scope of application: the entire territory of Russia within the coverage area.
- A transfer of balances is provided if the SIM card balance is replenished in accordance with the payment schedule.
- Traffic is not consumed when the subscriber is on VKontakte, Facebook, Odnoklassniki, or uses Yandex.Map or Yandex.Navigator. If a client visits services through third-party portals, the provider does not guarantee the consumption of gigabytes.
- The “Night Unlimited” function is provided. The service is valid from 00.00 to 06.59 local time.
To see whether 4G coverage is available in a particular region, you should study the map on the operator’s website, where all zones are highlighted. It is enough to enter the name of your city or region to obtain reliable information.
Are unlimited plans available?
It is impossible to connect to unlimited Internet today. Gone are the days when all operators gave the opportunity to use unlimited. Those who managed to activate these tariffs are now enjoying unlimited traffic, but those who did not manage to connect should not be upset, since Tele2 has favorable tariffs for subscribers.
The best tariffs for connection
For subscribers who need unlimited Internet on their mobile phone, you should pay attention to the “Unlimited Opera Mini” tariff. The service allows you to use the Internet with unlimited traffic, but only in the Opera browser
Important! When downloading any files or using another browser, traffic will be taken into account according to the tariff plan

Internet tariffs for Tele2 modem and router.
Modems and routers in Tele2 come with the “Internet for devices” tariff. By default there is no subscription fee. However, various Internet packages are available for connection.

Step-by-step instructions for setting up and connecting
There is no need to install drivers for the modem; configuration is performed immediately when it is connected to a PC or laptop. Before you start working, you need to insert a SIM card into the 4G modem from Tele2 and connect it via USB output.
A good solution would be a special extender with a signal amplification option - this will further increase the connection speed. Now that the modem has independently installed the drivers necessary for operation, a browser page will open for more detailed settings.
Next you need to follow several steps:
- When the Network Type icon appears, select "WCDMA".
- In the “All bands” section, enter “GSM only”.
- Go back to the menu, go to "Options".
- Make sure the connection type is “RAS”.
If you want to turn on the modem yourself, you can set manual or automatic mode in the settings.
The latter simplifies the work - the modem itself connects to the network. In “Network priority”, set “4G only”, provided that the network is stable in the region, and you do not plan to use the modem on the road or in another populated area. Otherwise, keep it on mixed 3G and 4G.
This completes the installation process. The subscriber just has to check the box to familiarize himself with the terms of the license agreement. The modem status will change to “Connected” and the Internet will appear on the device.
Using a similar principle, you can configure a modem on a laptop:
- Connecting the device via USB port.
- Automatic launch of the program to configure drivers.
- Checking the operation of the equipment and selecting settings for personal needs.
Tele2 USB 4G modem: setting up the modem. Watch the video:
It does not matter which tariff from the Tele2 operator is selected for the modem. The installation process is always identical. If the PC does not “see” the device, try inserting it into another USB port; the problem may be caused by a malfunction. Also, the cause of connection problems may be a non-working SIM card, in which case you should first check it through your phone.
If problems arise during the modem setup process, you should contact the operator at 611 (for Tele2 mobile phones) or 8 (495) 97-97-611 for landline numbers.
Possible problems and errors
Tele2 is developing tariffs for a 4G modem, but communications in this format will not work correctly throughout the entire territory. Emerging problems and methods for solving them:
- In order for the device to see the network, you need to change its location.
- To unlock access, you need to reset the settings to factory settings and perform the configuration manually.
- If access to the network is blocked, you need to check the balance and remaining traffic.
- When the equipment does not see the SIM card, you should install the modem in another device and check the integrity of the chip. If necessary, the SIM card can be changed at any Tele2 branch or through courier delivery.
- Tariffing is provided for subscribers not in all Russian regions. Tariff activity in a specific locality in Russia can be clarified by contacting technical support by calling 611.

Subscribers will be able to purchase a high-speed device necessary for prompt connection to the network. You should choose a company that offers affordable Tele2 Internet tariffs for a 4G modem as a reliable partner. The cost of the service will be higher than standard (when using 3G), but the connection speed to the virtual network is much higher.
Modem cost
Prices for purchasing a modem for Muscovites and residents of the Moscow region and region will be limited to 2,490 rubles. Prices in other regions are somewhat different from the capital. Please call the hotline for cost information.
Tariffication
The company offers users a special tariff plan, which eliminates the absence of a subscription fee and the need to pay for a number of additional services. However, customers will have to pay a higher price for calls, sending messages, and other options, and this is what we are counting on. For active Internet users, the Internet for Devices plan is a great deal.
Some subscribers activate the package only to connect to the Internet. Such SIM cards are often not used for making calls and sending messages. This is a decent saving.
Additional features
For convenience, subscribers will be offered the connection of auxiliary options for a certain cost:
- For 999 rub. – 50 GB of traffic. Activation is done by entering the command: *155*701#. Payment is made immediately after activation of the service. Unused megabytes will be carried over to the next month. Convenient to use when traveling around the country, unlimited Internet will be connected until 6 am, starting from midnight.
- 699 – 20 GB. You can activate the service using the command *155*691#. It is convenient to use on business trips, the package works throughout the country, the conditions for connecting to unlimited are identical to those described for the other package. Unused megabytes are carried over to the next billing period.
- 499 rub. – 15 GB. This is a unique package plan provided without payment in the Tele2 TV package. Internet tariffs for a Tele2 modem with 15 GB are connected by sending the command *155*671. In this plan, the company offers to watch videos, movies, and use social networks for free; unused gigabytes are transferred to a new month.
- 299 rub. – 7 GB. You can connect after sending the code: *155*681#.
Payment for connection
The Tele2 company contains many different tariffs, but it is when using a router or modem that you can use the “Internet for Devices” plan. There are 3 services for the user to choose from, as a result of which payment is made. The subscriber decides this issue depending on the frequency of his access to the network and whether the gadget supports the 4G format. The client is given the opportunity to choose the most profitable plan for him, taking into account the ratio of the size of the provided number of GB and the subscription fee. Here are the services mentioned above:
- A 5 GB package, the monthly cost of which is 195 rubles. This is a very convenient option for tablet users who, for example, do not like to watch or download movies on this device.
- The next Internet package is 15GB of traffic, monthly cost is 295 rubles.
- “Internet suitcase” with a capacity of 25GB, costing 345 rubles. An excellent option for using 4G Internet.
Please note that if at the end of the month you still have free traffic, then it is not transferred to the next month, and the payment will be debited in full in accordance with the package that you have chosen.
In addition, we advise you to carefully find out the prices for Tele2 services in your region, since the cost is different everywhere.
The 4G coverage area is constantly expanding, which is the main aspect of the company's improvement. Today this format is available in almost all regions of Russia. There is also one that provides Tele2 customers with the largest amount of traffic for use. Thanks to this, subscribers using our momed (or router) can be calm and confident in their choice, since under any circumstances the Internet package can always be increased.

Detailed description of the tariff plan
All subscribers who have purchased a modem for a laptop or PC with unlimited Internet from the tele2 operator can choose the appropriate tariff for themselves. “Internet for Devices” will be a solution for both tablet owners and those who use a desktop PC and do not have access to Wi-Fi.
The modem is quite compact and convenient to use when traveling, while it provides a stable connection and acts as an alternative to wired Internet. To get started, you will need to insert a SIM card into it and select a tariff.
Within the framework of “Internet for Devices”, the user is not charged a subscription fee. The volume of traffic depends on the terms of the package:
If the activated traffic package is exceeded, you can sequentially activate 5 more packages of 1 GB each, after which the ability to access the network is suspended.
To connect to any of the tariffs, use short commands or use your personal account. It is also easy to make settings through the “My Tele2” mobile application, after carefully studying the conditions of each tariff.
If you need to change your traffic package, for example, from 15 to 25 GB, you can do this through your personal account on the operator’s website, in the smartphone application, or via a USSD command. Remember that before connecting you need to disable the previous package.
Characteristics
- The modem operates in UMTS/HSPA+ networks at frequencies of 900/2100 megahertz, that is, it also supports all lower-end networks (3G2G);
- The entire spectrum of GSM frequencies, from 850 to 1900 megahertz;
- The modem is equipped with SIM-lock, protection against the use of SIM cards from other operators (this feature is blocked). Of course, there will always be craftsmen who can unlock and reflash the modem so that it works on any network, but the guarantees are lost;
- Work in LTE from 800 to 2600 megahertz;
- Internet connection speed on Download is 100 megabits per second;
- Software with the ability to send SMS and USSD commands;
- Supports all versions of Windows, starting from XP, works correctly on Mac OS;
- There is no LTE router mode, Wi-Fi cannot be distributed.
For Moscow and the region, the price tag is set at 2,490 rubles ; prices for the modem in other regions should be found on the operator’s website. You can often get a promotion and get a modem at a significant discount; it makes sense to monitor the relevant sections of the official website.
Rates
To meet the needs of users who use the 4G mobile network mainly for the Internet, Tele2 has a special tariff called “Internet for Devices”, which allows you to access high-speed Internet from any computer devices, including tablets. The tariff features the absence of mandatory subscription fee (only what you ordered for the month), and additional options that also cost money.
It is worth considering that the tariff includes the possibility of calls and SMS, but it is intended for the Internet, so calling tariffs are unprofitable for the user. The Internet plan allows you to connect several types of tariffs, which differ in the volume of Internet traffic and some additional bonuses.
Tariff 50 gigabytes
Cost 999 rubles.
- Connection using USSD command - *155*701# ;
- Shutdown - *155*700# ;
- Status check - *155*70#.
All unspent gigabytes are transferred (not lost). There is free nightly (no tariff) Internet from 24 hours to six in the morning, which can be used anywhere in Russia.
Tariff 20 gigabytes
Cost 699 rubles.
- Connection - *155*691#;
- Shutdown - *155*690# ;
- Status check - *155*69#.
Unused gigabytes are transferred, free night Internet is present.
Tariff 15 gigabytes
Cost 499 rubles.
- Connection - *155*671#;
- Shutdown - *155*670# ;
- Checking the status and remaining traffic - *155*67# ;
There are also bonuses in the form of free use of Tele2 TV and free Yandex navigation. All unused gigabytes are transferred.
Characteristics
By purchasing an Internet package, the user will receive:
- A SIM card with the “Internet for devices” tariff and the “Internet Suitcase” option, which ceases to be free after 14 days. After that, you can choose the tariff that suits you.
- USB cable.
The modem settings already correspond to access to high-speed 4G Internet, so no additional settings are needed. This device automatically installs the necessary programs.
“Internet Suitcase” is an option that is most often included with the device. Its volume is 30 GB of traffic, after which the connection speed decreases.
When the traffic comes to an end, the Internet speed drops to 64 KB per second. This means that the modem cannot operate at a higher speed.
If you want to clarify the remaining traffic volume, then you need to send a USSD command to the short number *155*0#.
Using a Tele2 modem gives you the following advantages:
- You can always quickly get online.
- High data transfer speed.
- High-quality operation of the device and practicality of its operation.
Tele2 router: how to connect to a computer?
