Which Internet is more profitable Beeline or Tele2
Mobile Internet is one of the most used options of a telecommunications provider, which current customers primarily pay attention to. Both providers boast a wide coverage area, high-speed technologies and stable transmission of data packets. Tariffs are also presented in separate lines, which are necessary for additional consideration.
Comparison table
To answer in detail the question “which Internet is better, Beeline or Tele2?”, we will draw up a comparative table of costs and prepaid data that anyone can use.
Beeline does not offer separate tariff specifications for organizing wireless data transmission on mobile devices. Instead, you can use a number of additional options:
- purchasing additional traffic packages that will be valid for a month from the moment of connection;
- setting up auto-renewal of the Internet, which will avoid debt on your personal account balance;
- unlimited internet, costing 100 rubles per day. The function can be activated or deactivated at any time.

| What is included in the payment | Price |
| 7 GB high speed internet | 299 rubles |

Price for calls and internet MTS
How much does it cost to call from MTS to another country, use of Internet services, international SMS and mms - let's try to understand this in more detail. Roaming for MTS. Sometimes we have to plan our expenses for international travel. This must be done especially when it comes to international communications. To do this, we will need accurate and detailed information about these services abroad.
In order to correctly and without delay find the prices for international services you are interested in, you need to select the appropriate country from the table of contents of the article. By clicking on a country from the table of contents, you will be taken to the part of the table where the prices for that region are located.
How to call from roaming
When you are outside your home region or country, you need to contact the help desk staff. In view of this, a group of mobile communications companies have provided several methods for connecting to Tele2 while roaming:
- +7-495-766-01-66 – a combination of numbers to contact the help desk staff if the subscriber is in Russia, but outside his region.
- +7-383-213-09-09 – combination of numbers for calls if the user travels outside of Russia.
This difference in city codes is due to the location of contact centers in different regions of Russia. Thus, to resolve issues of subscribers traveling around Russia, a call center has been adapted in Moscow, and for those traveling around the world - in Novosibirsk.
It is worth noting that the help centers operate around the clock.
MTS and Tele2 subscribers will be able to make and receive calls via WiFi at home rates
Calls via WiFi, even when connected abroad, will be treated as home calls by both MTS and Tele2. At the same time, if the user is connected to a package tariff plan, the number of minutes he spent using WiFi is simply deducted from the package, representatives of both operators note. Such operator products are very niche and are unlikely to pose serious competition to familiar instant messengers, says Sergey Kravtsov, owner of OMMG Technology (messenger developer). “Megafon’s experience in this area has shown that such solutions are mainly used by corporate clients and subscribers who are in areas of poor network reception, as well as in roaming,” he notes.
In most cases, subscribers use popular instant messengers for this, concludes Kravtsov. Vimpelcom Ltd., the parent company of VimpelCom, will release the Veon messenger. The application will allow subscribers of operators included in the holding to make calls, exchange videos, and text messages, as in regular instant messengers, but operators will not charge subscribers for its traffic.
Connecting forwarding
To use any option that is not included in the tariff plan, you must first activate it. Forwarding can be activated through the mobile portal. To do this, dial the command *111*40#call. Some people use the Internet assistant's prompts on the MTS website or send an SMS to the short number 111. The message should include the numbers 2111.
The mobile operator makes it possible to redirect not only calls, but also SMS to other numbers. This option is available in the section called SMS Pro of the MTS subscriber’s personal account. To enable text message forwarding, you need to send the words “Reg” or “On” to the short number 232.

- "Smart". 550 minutes to any operators, at home and to all regions. After spending the package – 2 rubles/min. everyone in their region, 5 rubles/min. to other areas. Prepayment – 500 rub. Read to compare: how much does a call from Tele 2 to mts cost?

Both products are not beneficial if you make a lot of calls to subscribers in foreign areas. If you have SIM cards from different operators, an article on how to transfer money from MTS to tele2 will be useful.
This product line is universal, for calls and the Internet. However, now we are interested in the cost of calls from MTS to Tele2. Let's look at the example of prices for Moscow and the region.
Setting the optimal mode
After the service is activated, you must select the option in which it will be used. This can be done in various ways:
- In your personal account on the official MTS website, following the instructions of the Internet assistant.
- In the telephone menu, according to the instructions for the technical means of communication.
- With the help of a specialist from the Contact Center of the Mobile Telesystems company.
- Through short commands sent to the operator’s technical support.
The last option is the simplest. It provides for self-setup of forwarding, for which you do not need to wait long for your turn on the Contact Center line, study the instructions for the phone or the company’s website.
Selecting the optimal mode of an already connected service is very simple:
- In order to redirect by default all calls from MTS to Tele 2 (or the number of another operator), you need to dial the combination: **21*phone number# and press the call button.
- Sometimes there is a need to forward only those calls that are received while the subscriber is talking on the main phone. For conditional forwarding, just use a simple command: **67*number#call.
- When the device is turned off or is out of network coverage, you can use your additional contact using a special combination of symbols and numbers: **62*number#call.
You can cancel all forwarding requests you have made by dialing ##02#, then press the call button. Connecting forwarding to an MTS number costs 30 rubles if a person did it through the Contact Center. In all other cases, the option is free.
For each call received to the specified number, you must pay as part of the basic tariff, regardless of the type of forwarding. But if the subscriber is located outside of his home region, then funds will be debited from his account for both incoming and outgoing calls in the roaming zone.
