Tele 2 minutes pass. Why can unspent packets be lost? Is it worth the surgery?

Tele2 operator has introduced a new wonderful service for its subscribers. It was this option that many subscribers needed to start saving. There is no need to worry that paid traffic and minutes for calls will expire. Users will have the opportunity to spend them. Now you have the opportunity to manage your tariff and mobile communications more flexibly. Having significantly saved traffic and minutes this month, you have the opportunity to afford more in the next month. The operator will not write off any extra funds for this. But more about everything.

Description of the transfer of funds option

The concept of the service is quite simple - if the provided limit free minutes, SMS, Internet traffic was not used by the user in the current month, in which case the balance is transferred to the next one. This condition will be met if the subscriber makes a timely payment to the mobile account, in accordance with the terms of the current tariff.

To make the whole essence of this option more clear, we can give a simple example. The subscriber had 300 free minutes for the current month, but only used 100. In this case, 200 minutes are transferred to the next month. If the subscriber has used, say, only 50 of the transferred 200 minutes, then the remaining 150 minutes will not be transferred to the third month, they will expire. These are the conditions of this option.

In other words, the balance is transferred to the next month; if the transferred minutes, SMS or traffic are not used to the end, then they are no longer transferred to the third month.

There is another important nuance, which must be taken into account. First of all, the transferred limit of additional minutes will be used, only then new service packages.

How to activate the service on your number

The service is available for use only on certain tariffs of the “Black” line. To take advantage of this useful option, you need to do the following:

  • purchase a SIM card from the Tele2 operator;
  • connect to one of the “Black” tariff plans.

If you already have a Tele2 SIM card with an activated tariff, just call the short number 630, switch to the desired tariff and use the option.

Current restrictions

There are restrictions on the option regarding regions of the country. Remains of unused limits, which are provided by current promotion“Doubling the tariff” is not carried over in some regions of our country. The operator gradually eliminates this problem, lifting some restrictions.

On this moment The service does not operate in some regions of our country. To learn more about the terms of use of this option, you must call the operator and familiarize yourself with the current geographical restrictions. This must be done before switching to another tariff.

Other conditions

In Tomsk, the option is available on absolutely all lines of the “Black” tariff plan. If the current tariff plan is changed to another, then the balances from the previous tariff are not transferred to the new one.

Perhaps this is where the additional conditions that you need to know about end.

Subscriber review

Mikhail, Tomsk

I switched from my current tariff to black because of the “balance transfer” option, and did not regret it. This is a convenient service that allows you to save on use cellular communications. The option works smoothly, there have never been any failures. Unused balances are completely carried over. In general, I’m happy with everything. I advise you to use this option right now.

Really, mobile operator Tele2 takes care of its users, making the conditions for using the tariff plan truly profitable and loyal. Now it's easier than ever to save money.

Tele2 is an operator that really lives by different rules and offers its subscribers unique services. While other companies are raising prices and thinking about how to increase margins and profitability, Tele2 never ceases to delight and surprise its subscriber base. Thus, at the beginning of 2017, the Swedish discounter announced the transfer of remaining packages to the next month. No other communication provider has such conditions. Let's take a closer look.

Description and cost of the service

It is not always possible for a subscriber to spend the volume of his tariff plan to zero. Very often there are unused minutes, gigabytes and SMS. With the beginning of each billing period, they simply burn out. New volumes are being added. This happens with almost all providers, but not with Tele2!

The service is provided to subscribers on dedicated TPs free of charge. Initially, the transfer of limits to the next period was carried out only for individuals, but then on July 1, 2017, the operator offered this option for corporate clients on the line of tariffs, and. The new functionality was successfully tested on b2b subscribers in the Moscow region, and from June 30 the opportunity was announced for the entire country. Now, even for business clients, minutes and GB do not expire, but according to the terms of the option, they are transferred.

In the next period, the transferred volumes begin to be spent first, and only then from the main package.

This is very convenient, since the condition for the possibility of re-transferring balances to a new accounting period is preserved.


Restrictions

The service “Transfer of balances” is included free of charge by default on contracts, on all tariffs of the “Black” line and on corporate rates mentioned above. The function does not require any additional activation. The remaining remaining packages are transferred automatically.

The option works only for bona fide subscribers who always pay for communications on time. If payment is not received, the service is unavailable and Tele2 has the right to refuse to transfer balances.

Service management and interoperability

Option connection is not required. It is important to choose a contract that includes such a service. In addition to tariff plans for individuals and B2B clients, transfer is available on all Internet options (except archived ones).

On Tele2 tariffs and Internet options, additional connected traffic volumes are not transferable. So, if the main package has run out and you purchased an additional one, but did not have time to spend it, the next reporting period it won't leak.

To understand availability, you need to know your tariff. Check it by command *107#. It is important to navigate the timing of the billing period, because it does not always coincide with the first day of the month. There is a separate command for this: *105#.

This functionality is not available for some regions. Bad news for the following cities:

Unfortunately, package transfer is not implemented in billing here. It is likely that over time these branches will also be able to take advantage of saving minutes, SMS and GB.

Analogues of other operators


Tele2 is a pioneer of new products, often setting the direction of development for those whom we call “ big three" To date, only MTS has been able to give its subscribers the opportunity to transfer unused minutes, SMS and GB.

Conclusion

Have you ever wondered what we pay monthly for? subscription fee? Very often we pay it only for the potential need to use it. Some subscribe to tariffs with gigantic packages and enormous costs. In fact, we don’t have time to spend most of it. This benefits operators. As they say: “the wolves are fed and the sheep are safe.” The ability to transfer balances launched by Tele2 is a kind of revolution in the telecom world. Now minutes, SMS and GB do not expire, you can spend them for two whole months! One step ahead is always the one who does something new first. MTS is one step behind, and Beeline and MegaFon are generally in no hurry to catch up. That is why Tele2 is the choice of millions in our country.

Tele2 - well done. We have introduced a useful service for transferring package balances, which many subscribers have long dreamed of. I’ve been dreaming since the days when unused minutes on Beeline postpaid tariffs did not expire, but were transferred to the next month.

So, the “Balance Transfer” service allows you to transfer unspoken minutes, SMS and unused Internet traffic to the next month. However, they can then be used until the end of the upcoming billing period if you pay the subscription fee in full.

The “Balance Transfer” service is free. It only works on the current tariffs “Black”, “Very Black”, “Blackest”, “Super Black” and is included in their basic package. It does not work on archived TPs with identical names.

Only basic packages within the tariffs are transferred. Unfortunately, there is a large list of exceptions for regions where “Transfer of balances” does not work. You can see them in the “Other conditions” section of the official description of the service.

First, you will spend exactly the transferred minutes, SMS and traffic, then the service packages within the current subscription fee.

Personal opinion

The news is extremely positive. I repeat - extremely! The main thing is that the value of such “new, well-forgotten old” is correctly introduced into the brain cells of our subscribers. Unfortunately, most of them only stupidly understand the simple formula: “XXX minutes are included in the tariff,” from which an extremely primitive conclusion is drawn - whether this is a lot or a little.

Few people think about where the minutes go and how. Because of this sad fact, operators stopped not counting minutes within the network, giving in return a smaller package to other networks. It is their total number that works. Whether the formula for transferring minutes, SMS and GB will now work - time will tell. I hope it will.

Another thing, I look at the tariffs of Tele2 in the Moscow region. For example, “Very Black”: 500 minutes for 399 rubles. Expensive, I tell you. In our times, the price of such a package should be 200 rubles.

The additional service “Transfer of balances” is provided this year on Tele2. Thanks to this service Minutes of calls, SMS messages and megabytes of Internet traffic unspent over the past month are no longer lost. The balance is saved and then carried over to the next month. The service has been launched on Tele2 since January 2019. The bonus minutes saved in one month can be spent on an interesting conversation in the next. When the transferred package runs out, a new one is unpacked.

You won’t be able to save leftovers for a long time

Do not try to stretch one package over two months in order to save money. According to the rules established by the operator, the transfer of remaining resources is carried out after the subscription fee for the current month is debited from the account. If the transferred remains are not used during the second month, then they simply burn out. For example, if you used 150 of the 300 minutes offered in July, then the other 150 will be transferred to August. If at the end of this month you still have a certain number of unspent minutes, they will not be carried over to September.

When an unspent packet is lost

If you forget to pay your subscription fee on time, don’t ask why all the excess minutes and traffic were cancelled. Late payment package for last month cannot be restored.

Activation of the “Transfer of Balances” service

Add separately this service on Tele2 it is impossible. Other tariff plans do not support it either. Then how to transfer balances to Tele2? You will have to choose the “Black” tariff line. The offer is automatically connected to all current tariff plans (“Black”, “The Blackest”, “Infinitely Black”) and is not available for other tariff plans that are in the archive. Connecting to the “Black” tariff will provide you with the opportunity to add free service“Transfer balances” to transfer unspent call minutes. Now you can spend everything you paid for. Now let's talk about how to activate the service.

The transition can be performed in two ways:

  1. The operation is available free of charge short number 630. An autoinformer will answer you and list the names current tariffs. Choose the one you like from the list provided tariff plan from the “Black” set (click the corresponding button). Next, follow all the instructions provided.
  2. “Black” are connected through the subscriber’s Personal Account. Presented here detailed information about all the tariffs available on Tele2.

Possible restrictions

When you transfer your mobile phone to the updated “Black” tariff plan, the package with the balance for the previous month is not transferred. Restrictions apply to a number of cities and regions. Please first familiarize yourself with the list of regions where the service is partially or fully unavailable. For example, in Tomsk, Ivanovo, Amur regions, Transbaikalia, Crimea, for Tele2 subscribers minutes and gigabytes are not transferred within the network. They are on the list of exceptions. Information about restrictions is located at tele2life.ru or in the “Other conditions” section when opening the page with a description of the service - perenos.tele2.ru.

Mobile operators have long been trying to retain customers with attractive offers on mobile Internet traffic. Here comes the operator mobile communications Tele2 launched new service, which many subscribers will clearly like. Now they can exchange the remaining minutes of their tariff for additional megabytes of Internet traffic. Today we will tell you how to make such an exchange and what methods exist for this.

More information about the exchange option: what are the rules and rate

Service “ Exchange of minutes for GB” is the next step in the “Other Rules” policy from Tele2. The emergence of the exchange mode is directly related to increasing consumption mobile internet and the popularity of tariffs with unlimited traffic. Analyzing the mobile market, experts came to the conclusion that the provided minutes increasingly remain unspent, while Internet traffic is valued more.

Who can use this option?

The service is designed for those clients who have used up the entire volume of provided traffic before the end of the billing period (most often before the start of next month). In fact, you can make a replacement at any time, even if there is traffic on the balance. The exchange is made at the following rate - 1 GB (1024 MB) is exchanged for 100 minutes. That is, we get a volume of ~10 MB in 1 minute.

What time can I use?

You can use this option as much as you like. For exchange, you can take all available minutes, namely:

  • balance on the main package;
  • excess time received as part of the “Transfer of balances” option.
  • connected minutes as part of the “Set up a tariff for yourself” function.
How to exchange for GB?

So, you can request this service in several ways:

  1. The simplest one is to execute the USSD command on your phone: *155*62* number of units to be changed #.
  2. To find out the exchange available to you, dial: *155*77# to request the history of all past exchange transactions *155*64#.
  3. It will also be convenient to transfer via Personal Area, directly on the website tele2.ru. The option is located at home page, under the name of your tariff plan.

USSD commands for calling the “Exchange minutes to Gigabytes” service in Tele2
It is important to know!
  • The gigabytes received through the exchange are spent first, then the traffic received over the past month, the last to be used is the Internet of your main tariff.
  • If you have not used the entire amount of Internet received in minutes before the next billing month, then it will expire.
  • If you change your tariff plan, the received traffic will also be lost.
  • The option is available throughout Russia, except for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.

Conclusion

Share package tariffs with connected internet last years increased by one and a half times, and the volume of traffic consumption itself jumped three times. It is these numbers that push Tele 2 to keep up with the times. I hope you understand how to exchange extra minutes for megabytes in Tele2 and what conditions must be met. Let's hope that the number of such offers will only increase in the future.
