When traveling outside the home region, subscribers often have to wonder if Tele2 is working in Crimea. In addition, the terms of payment for communication services while on-line roaming are an important factor. Do I need to activate roaming service on a mobile device to travel to the territory of Crimea and Sevastopol? More details about which tariffs are applicable on Tele2 in Crimea will be described in the current article.
Roaming service: what you need to know
Here are some points you need to know.
- You do not need to connect the service - it acts on the number initially. Of course, if a subscriber disconnected it earlier, then in order to use communication services in another city, roaming should be activated again.
- Additional information can be obtained through the service number of the Tele2 operator - 688.
- You can clarify what the cost of services is when you are outside your area on the official resource of an alternative operator - on the roaming page, enter the name of the region in the corresponding field.
- In order to exclude additional costs, it is recommended to abandon the redirects operating on the number while the Tele2 SIM card is in the Crimea. Deactivation can be done through a short service request - ## 002 #.
- It is recommended to think over options for replenishing your account in advance - connect auto payment from a credit card, arrange with friends or relatives, etc.
Tele2 in Crimea
Upon arrival in the territory of the Republic of Crimea or in the city of Sevastopol, it is recommended to make sure that the SIM card is registered on the network. Otherwise, you will need to manually connect to an available network through the settings of the mobile device. As for the cost of communication services, the tariffing will be the same: 5 rubles - the cost of a minute of an incoming / outgoing call and a text message. The cost of 1 Mb of Internet traffic will also be 5 rubles. We draw the attention of customers using tariff plans of the Black line and other tariffs with a prepaid volume of traffic — packages do not operate in the territory of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. Currently, the list of offers for optimizing roaming prices also lacks options for unlimited Internet outside the home region.
Is it possible to use the “Tele2” SIM card in the Crimea without roaming?
Each time a subscriber moves from his city to another region of the country, a roaming service will operate. Many customers would be interested in options for reducing the cost of Tele2 services in Crimea.
To optimize communication costs, proceed as follows:
- purchase a local SIM card - this will significantly save on calls, the Internet and messages;
- connect the package “Everywhere zero” - the operator’s option is valid until 04/30/2017 and is available for connection on all tariff plans.
According to the conditions for connecting the “Everywhere Zero” package, all incoming calls will be free, outgoing calls to Russian numbers will cost only two rubles per minute of communication.
Using the option involves a monthly fee - 3 rubles will be charged daily from the SIM card account.
Activation is available through a short command - * 143 * 21 #. By removing the last digit - one from the current request - you can check the status of this option on the number - is it connected or not. To disable the service (upon arrival to your city), dial * 143 * 20 #.
There are no other offers for roaming in the country with this telecom operator.
Please note that the operator sells SIM cards and communication services in the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol. Consider the option of acquiring a new number for profitable communication in roaming - this will save on communication services.
