Each subscriber using the services of a cellular company would like to constantly stay in touch with their loved ones. After all, it is for this that there are mobile phones... But sometimes it is simply impossible to calculate in advance the required number of minutes that will be spent within a month. And then users have a logical question of how to add minutes on Tele2.

Starting to study the main features of connecting additional packages, it should be noted last changes entered by the operator. These innovations have somewhat limited the capabilities of users who can no longer simply activate the new package. The updated requirements retain the ability to buy minutes, but the approach to this process completely changed. All this requires the owners of SIM cards to familiarize themselves with the changes in a timely manner, so that later they do not find themselves in a difficult situation when they need to increase the call time, but it is not known how to do this.

Those people who have already looked at the site in an attempt to figure out how to activate 50 minutes for 50 rubles or 100 minutes for 100 rubles, made sure that the official portal of the cellular company does not give answers to these questions. Instead, the operator invites users to think in advance about the required volumes of services and set up mobile communications in a timely manner. This requires:

1. open a page dedicated to any of the current tariff plans;
2. click on the link offering to set up tariffication;
3. wait for the new tab to load;
4. independently specify the appropriate connection parameters by choosing the optimal call time and the amount of Internet traffic (it is additionally suggested to activate useful options);
5. press the inscription continue;
6. enter the SIM card number where the selected conditions will be used or log in to the system;
7. confirm actions;
8. wait for the tariff plan change or get a new SIM card.

That is, the operator provided customers with the maximum freedom of choice, allowing them to connect to the optimal cellular connection.

How to connect additional minutes on Tele2?

If it was not possible to select the correct parameters when connecting, users should find out how to replenish minutes on Tele2. The operator has provided for a similar scenario, providing subscribers with the opportunity to change the number of gigabytes and the communication time at any time. To activate an additional package of minutes, you should use any of the following connection methods:

• using a special USSD command;
• in the client's personal account on the official portal of the operator;
• in the mobile application;
• by calling 611.

The first approach is most convenient. He will require the person who wants to adjust the connection to the existing needs of sending special team... The subscriber must dial * 630 * number of minutes * gigabyte size # and press the dial key. It is important to emphasize that it is necessary to indicate not the amount that you want to add, but the total time, taking into account the remaining balance and spent traffic.

Another important nuance that you need to remember is the fact that the selected parameters are carried over to the next month, unless they are manually changed back.

In addition, it is impossible not to indicate that the service is paid. The amount required to cover the difference between the old conditions and the updated ones will be deducted from the SIM card balance.

Additional Tele2 minutes

Those people who doubt the correctness of dialing a USSD request should add minutes on Tele2 by simply calling the operator. But you should be prepared that the consultant will require the caller to name confidential information, which will allow him to identify the subscriber. Therefore, users should prepare in advance:

1. passport data;
2. name and surname of the SIM card owner (specified in the service agreement);
3. PUK code.

If the reconfiguration will take place in one of the brand showrooms cellular communication, subscribers need to take their passport with them. Without it, it is impossible to get the manager's help.

How to disable extra minutes on Tele2?

Keeping in mind the features of tariffication management that have appeared, we can make a logical conclusion that the disconnection of unnecessary services occurs in the same ways that were used to extend Tele2 minutes. That is, the client must send a request with new parameters or call the consultants, or even better, set the required levels in the personal account. There is one important limitation to keep in mind. Package sizes cannot be lower than the base level provided for by the connected tariff plan.

It should be added that you can get rid of extra minutes in another way. The operator offers to exchange them for the Internet if the gigabytes included in the package have already run out.

MTS tariffs with SMS packages and the ability to connect profitable calls are an interesting block solution, within which the user gets the opportunity to choose the most profitable option for himself. Options apply to tariff plans:

• Red Energy,
• "Per second",
• "Super MTS"
• and other archived plans.

Smart line tariffs have their own message and conversation packages. The messages or minutes of calls included in the package are not free, but with active communication, they can reduce the cost of a certain type of communication, as well as additional options for Internet traffic on the same tariff plans. Thanks to these options, the operator makes standard tariff plans so flexible that they become almost individual, depending on the choice of the user himself.

SMS packages for MTS tariff plans

Packages of SMS messages are divided into two types - with a monthly update (periodic) and one-time, which expire 30 days after activation. Let's note some of the features of these options:

• all unused messages “burn out”;
• one-time package expires 30 days after activation (not strictly after a month!);
• the periodic package is renewed 30 days after activation;
• the fee is debited for the entire package provided, regardless of the use of its capabilities, at the time of connection;
• Periodic packages can take your balance into the negative at the time of writing off if there is a lack of funds in the account.

Periodic packages of 100, 300, 500 and 1000 SMS and one-time packages of 75, 200 and 300 SMS are available to users.

• calls to any direction within Russia and from any region at a price of 3 rubles / min - the option “Like at home everywhere”;
• long distance calls at 3 rubles / min.

To connect each package option, you use your own USSD request, SMS command or an application in the Personal Account of the MTS subscriber and the My MTS application.

How to check and find out the rest of the package of minutes and SMS

You can find out the rest of messages and minutes in the package by request * 100 * 1 # CALL for periodic packages.

Often, many subscribers exceed the established tariff limit for communication services. In such a situation, they have to use calls at standard cost. It is determined by mobile operators depending on the selected tariff plan. But not every user knows that now they have cellular operator there is a service "". With the help of it, the subscriber can make outgoing calls at a reduced rate.

This option is very convenient for both the user and the operator. After all, it is profitable for the operator to implement this service, increasing the cost due to the volume. The subscriber also benefits: when activating the package of additional minutes, he spends less money in terms of the standard cost of calls.

For the current day, special packages of minutes have been opened. They are available for a line of some network tariffs. This option is suitable for those active users who do not have enough minutes included in the price of the tariff. The new service is suitable for the following lines of tariff plans:

• Smart(not suitable for tariff plans MAXI Smart, Smart mini 102014, Smart mini 112013);
• Ultra(not suitable for tariffs MAXI Ultra, Ultra 2010, Ultra 2011, Ultra 2012);

1. 200 minutes - 150 rubles per month;
2. 400 minutes - 250 rubles per month;
3. 700 minutes - 450 rubles per month;
4. 1000 minutes - 600 rubles per month.

The added minutes are used for those directions of calls that are included in the user's tariff plan. For example, when connecting to a tariff plan Smart, purchased minutes are spent on all outgoing calls to Russian numbers.

The additional package is at an advantage over the main one. First of all, the minutes connected with the help of ancillary service are spent, then the minutes included in the main package are used.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that this option is connected not once, but on a monthly basis. Unspent minutes will expire, so they cannot be used next month.

How is payment done?

The first deduction of funds for this option occurs during connection. Then, monthly on the day of activation of the service, it is debited subscription fee from the current account.
