Overview of Internet and TV access services from Tele2

Internet and TV are two different services from the Tele2 operator. Each of them has its own tariffs (packages), so we will consider them separately.

3G and 4G Internet

Unfortunately, Tele2 does not provide such a service as Home Internet (that is, the company does not run Ethernet cables into houses and apartments). However, this does not mean that the Internet from this mobile operator cannot be used at home - access can be obtained via a 3G or 4G network.

The Internet from Tele2 works via a 3G or 4G mobile network with an access speed of up to 100 Mbps

The operator has many favorable Internet tariffs that can be used for a home network: a special branded router (USB modem or router) with a regular SIM card is purchased, on which a certain tariff is set (it can be changed or supplemented later). These devices can be purchased at the offices of the "Tele2" company or order their delivery through the online store.

Via USB modem

A USB modem is a device that connects to a computer via the connector of the same name, like a regular USB flash drive. The compact size of the device allows you to carry it everywhere with you - in your pocket or on a special key fob that comes with the kit. The Tele2 company offers its subscribers a choice of two modems:

1. 3G. Such a modem costs about 1,500 rubles. Data transfer speed - no more than 25 MB / s. The device supports two types of networks - 2G and 3G.

   

   3G USB modem provides Internet access speed up to 25 MB / s

2. 4G. You will have to pay almost twice as much for it - 2500 rubles, but at the same time you will get a higher speed - up to 100 MB / s. This is a new generation device that works with three networks at once - 2G, 3G and 4G.

   

   4G USB modem works in older 3G and 2G networks

If you only need the Internet for work (viewing documents online, managing e-mail, etc.), 3G Internet is also suitable for you. If you are going to visit video hosting sites, for example, YouTube, and chat on social networks, it is better to purchase a device with 4G. However, if there is no 4G coverage in your city, it makes no sense to buy an appropriate modem - the 3G network will still work and there will be no high speed.

Via Wi-Fi router

Unlike a modem, a router allows you to connect to the Internet not one, but several devices simultaneously (computers, phones, tablets). Branded routers from the operator "Tele2" also work through a SIM card. To connect to the distributed Wi-Fi signal, you do not need to download any software - the connection is the same as in the case of a regular router.

The operator "Tele2" offers three models of routers:

1. Tele2 3G. This is a very compact device, it can be used both in the apartment and outside it - at the dacha, on trips, etc. The main thing is that the region should be included in the Tele2 coverage area. The router is capable of distributing Wi-Fi to 10 devices at once with different operating systems - Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Android, iOS. Internet speed - up to 42 MB / s. Works with SMS (sending and receiving), as well as with USSD commands, which are dialed on mobile phones, for example, to check the balance on an account or activate certain services. Price - 1 900 rubles.

   

   Tele2 3G router speeds up the Internet up to 42 MB / s

2. Tele2 4G. In terms of characteristics (size, support for SMS and USSD, the number of devices for distributing the Internet), this router is almost identical to Tele2 3G. However, the connection speed is much higher here - up to 100 MB / s. The cost is about 3,200 rubles.

   

   Tele2 4G router allows you to access the Internet at speeds up to 100 MB / s

3. Wi-Fi Keenetic 4G KN-1210. This is no longer a compact device - the size of the router is the same as that of a regular router, plus there are 2 antennas and 4 outputs for an Ethernet cable (one cable is included). Connection to 3G and 4G networks is carried out using a USB modem (it connects to the router using the USB 2.0 output), that is, you also need to purchase it additionally. Thanks to the built-in signal booster, the internet speed can exceed 100 MB / s. This device, unlike the first two, can only be used at home to share Wi-Fi. The price is about 2500 rubles.

   

   You can connect either a regular Ethernet cable or a USB modem to the Keenetic 4G KN-1210 Wi-Fi router

Affordable internet tariff plans

Together with a branded portable router or USB modem, a SIM card is purchased with a certain tariff. The operator "Tele2" has several basic tariffs, which include not only the Internet, but also minutes for talking with SMS. If you want to not only "surf" the Internet, but also send messages on this SIM-card (the router allows you to do this), select one of the following tariffs:

1. "My unlimited" - 500 rubles / month. for unlimited internet, 50 SMS and 500 minutes of conversation.
2. "My online" - 400 rubles / month. for 15 GB of Internet, 50 SMS and unlimited communication in social networks and messengers: VKontakte, Facebook, Odnoklassniki, WhatsApp, Viber, TamTam.
3. "My Online +" - 700 rubles / month. for 30 GB of network, 50 SMS, 800 minutes and unlimited communication in these services.

4. "My conversation" - 200 rubles / month. for 2 GB, unlimited on social services, 50 SMS and 200 minutes.

   

   Choose one of the existing basic tariffs with the required traffic volume, minutes of conversation and SMS

5. "My Tele2" - 7 rubles / day for 5 GB and unlimited for the specified services.
6. "Premium" - 1,500 rubles / month. for 50 GB of the Internet, 500 SMS and 2,000 minutes.

You can also purchase a SIM card with the "Classic" or "Internet for Devices" tariff. They come without a monthly fee. After that, choose any of the above tariffs.

If you want to use only the Internet, choose the "Internet for Devices" SIM card and one of the following packages:

• 7 GB - 300 rubles per month;
• 20 GB - 700 rubles per month (data transfer is not charged at night);

• 20 GB - 1,000 rubles per month (data transmission is also free at night);

  

  You can choose any of the offered traffic volumes for your future Internet

• 15 GB - 500 rubles per month (recommended for a tablet);
• “A lot of Internet” tariff - 200 rubles per month.

Package prices may differ depending on the region you live in. With the indicated tariffs, you can make calls with the purchased SIM-card, but you will have to pay 1.8 rubles per minute of conversation. One SMS-message costs the same.

The operator also offers the following economy packages:

1. "Unlimited Internet in Crimea" - 300 rubles per day. You will pay for the Internet only for the day during which you will use it. On other days, nothing will be debited from the account.
2. A Day on the Net - 20 rubles per day. You will also pay this amount only on the day you actually use the Internet.

3. "Unlimited Opera mini" - 4.5 rubles per day. This package is suitable for you if you want to use the Internet at home or outside the apartment only through the Opera mini browser. In this case, the traffic will not be paid.

   

   If you want to choose the most favorable tariff for you, pay attention to the packages located in the "Save" tab

4. "Plus navigation" - 2.5 rubles per day. This tariff includes unlimited access to maps and a navigator, which, as you know, "eat up" a lot of traffic.
5. "Plus messengers" - 2 rubles per day. For this small amount you get unlimited communication via WhatsApp, Viber and TamTam.
6. "My acquaintances" - 2 rubles per day. You can use dating services without any traffic restrictions.

If you suddenly go beyond the volume of your traffic, you can immediately purchase additional megabytes or even gigabytes in order not to pay exorbitant prices for the Internet:

• 5 GB for 250 rubles per month;

• 3 GB for 150 rubles per month;

  

  If you have run out of traffic volume allocated to you for a day or for a month, purchase an additional package in the "Extend" tab

• 500 MB for 50 rubles before the end of the day;
• 100 MB for 15 rubles before the end of the day.

You can also activate the option to automatically extend access to the network when the traffic is exhausted (500 MB for 50 rubles).

Pros and cons of the Internet from Tele2

Let's start by looking at the positives:

• no wires - data transmission will be carried out via a mobile network;
• a wide range of tariffs - with minimal and high traffic volumes, as well as unlimited Internet;
• the ability to add this or that volume to the traffic if necessary;
• sending messages using a router;
• the ability to use the network outside the home.

The Internet from Tele2 has the following disadvantages:

1. The speed is not as high as that of home wired or wireless Internet - 100 MB / s is almost the maximum value. This is enough for watching videos, but not for resource-intensive online games.
2. The cost of the Internet when going outside the traffic is quite high - for 1 MB from 1.8 rubles.
3. The coverage area of "Tele2" is not as wide as that of other providers, this Internet is not suitable for all residents of Russia.

Moreover, the Internet can be from any provider or operator, that is, not only from Tele2. The TV will be available in a special application that you can download from the Play Market (for Android systems) or the App Store (for iOS).

In "Tele2 TV" you will find many popular and interesting channels

Each channel has a valid program guide

If you use the Internet from Tele2, your traffic will not be charged. If you have a different provider and a limited Internet connection, then you will have to follow the tariffication. In this case, it is best to use unlimited internet.

In addition to TV channels, films of various genres and eras are available for viewing in the application - there are both old and new films, including premieres.
