It does not always happen that within the same family or company everyone uses the same operator. Therefore, it is important that the tariff you use is universal. This time we will look at the cost of calls from MTS to Tele2.
"Smart" line
This product line is universal, for calls and the Internet. However, now we are interested in the cost of calls from MTS to Tele2. Let's look at the example of prices for Moscow and the region.

For those who value calls from MTS to Tele2 in another region, “Smat mini” and “Smart Unlimited” are more profitable: calls above the package throughout the country cost 2 rubles per minute.
Other tariffs
These tariffs for calls from MTS to Tele2 are only partially suitable:
