How to send a "beacon" from Tele2

To send a "beacon" from Tele2, it is enough to use the standard USSD command set by the operator. This makes it possible to contact the required subscriber with a low or zero balance. There are other services that provide communication to users before replenishing the account. The Tele2 operator provided for the possibility of communication with both a zero balance or debt, and a minimum one. Consider detailed instructions for connecting each of the options and their features.

How to send a "beacon" from Tele2

The service is available to all network subscribers who have a valid SIM card and an active account. You can use it at any time of the day, there are no restrictions for public holidays, etc.

The only significant limitation that may affect the sending of a free message, subject to other conditions, is the number of the subscriber to whom the "beacon" is sent is not Russian.

To ask the subscriber to call back, you must enter the USSD command, which looks like this *118*[subscriber number]#

The network subscriber to whom the message was sent will receive a notification that it is necessary to call the sender. In automatic mode, the network user learns that an SMS message has arrived at the specified number.

How to connect

This option does not require an additional connection and is completely free, if the daily limit for sending a "beggar" is not exceeded. The function remains available on all operator tariffs for subscribers who are within the country.

To find out the terms of the tariff, you need to log in.

In the "Services" section, you can find out all the features of the function and make sure that it is completely free for all network subscribers, regardless of the tariff used and the region of stay.

Limitations of the service "Lighthouse"

The service is absolutely free if the daily or monthly limit of 5 and 60 freebies, respectively, is not exceeded. Further, the subscription fee is charged in the amount of 0.5 rubles per message. It must be remembered that the option is not available abroad.

"Call me back" is valid for any region of Russia and does not require additional payment when sending a message. The option remains available if the subscriber's account has less than 5 rubles.

It should be remembered that the operator provides for different conditions for different regions of Russia. They concern sending unpaid messages with a zero balance. To find out the exact conditions, you need to contact the operator at 611. The amount of the subscription fee for a request to call back when the daily limit is exceeded may also differ depending on the region.

"Beacon" to other operators

The "Waiting for a call" option is available for use with any Russian operator. The USSD command does not differ from the one that the subscriber uses to send a free message to Tele2 users.

All conditions remain unchanged, including restrictions and other rules of the function. If for some reason it is not possible to send SMS, the user can ask all the questions that have arisen to the operator by calling 611.

If you cannot send a free SMS due to a zero balance, you can use the following:

• "Promised payment". The subscriber can take a loan, the amount of which directly depends on the monthly subscription fee. This option is available with a zero balance. There is only one limitation - the subscriber must use the operator's network for at least 60 days. To activate the service, enter the USSD command *122*1#. It should be remembered that the service is available if the debt on the account does not exceed 30 rubles. (reflected as -30 rubles). The commission for the service is always charged in excess of the allocated funds.

• "Top up my account" is a service that can be used as the same free SMS, but with a zero balance. The subscriber who received the message will choose whether to top up the account or call back. You can send no more than 10 such requests per day. This is done using the following command: *123*[subscriber number]#. The service is available in roaming.

Most operators provide their subscribers with the opportunity to contact other network users free of charge if there are not enough funds on the account. Whether it is the “Beacon” or “Top up my account” service, Tele2 SIM card holders can ask another subscriber to call back or top up their account for the required amount. With the help of the “Promised Payment” service, the operator takes over the replenishment function, subject to certain conditions. This is extremely convenient if it is not possible to pay the debt immediately for any reason. Since many Tele2 subscribers are located in different regions, the option is also available when sending a message to another area, which greatly simplifies the restoration of communication and makes it possible to postpone the monthly payment.
