Connect the Internet on tele2 in the Crimea. Under what conditions is Tele2 roaming provided in Crimea. How to connect unlimited internet tele2 in Crimea

To date, it is not possible to purchase a Tele2 SIM card on the territory of the Republic of Crimea. Nevertheless, you can use the communication services of this company in the Crimea, but all these services are charged as roaming. We will tell you in this review how Tele2 communication works in Crimea and what services and options can be activated for profitable communication.

How Tele2 works in Crimea

All Russian cellular companies, including Tele2, provide subscribers with communication services through the local mobile operator Win Mobile, since large Russian operators cannot yet directly serve subscribers in Crimea. Therefore, only roaming services are provided.

As you know, the work of services in roaming has its drawbacks. These are frequent failures, and a weak Internet connection, low data transfer speed, especially for the LTE network, and so on. But despite the fact that Crimea is not officially included in the Tele2 coverage area, this mobile operator provides its services and fulfills its obligations to the inhabitants of the peninsula and its guests, so you can call or go online from almost anywhere on the peninsula.

It is also worth noting that Tele2 is constantly developing its technologies and expanding its coverage area, in connection with which we should expect an improvement in the quality of communication on the territory of Crimea in the near future. After all, as you know from the feedback of subscribers, the Tele2 network in 2017 worked much worse compared to the quality of communication in 2019.

The cost of services in the Crimea

Without connecting additional options on the territory of the Republic of Crimea, the following prices for Tele2 services apply:

To optimize costs and save money on your phone balance, you can connect Tele2 options, which will reduce the cost of mobile communications.

Service "In the Crimea at home"

This service helps to save on incoming calls. It is beneficial only to those users who often receive calls from relatives, friends, colleagues while they are on a journey. If you receive more than 10 incoming calls per day, you can safely activate this option. All other services (outgoing calls, SMS, MMS, traffic) remain unchanged.

The subscription fee is - 6 r / day. Activation fee - 30 r (one-time payment). You can connect it to any tariff plan. Calls are charged per minute. Immediately after connection, the activation fee and the monthly fee for the first day, that is, 36 rubles, will be debited from the balance.

After the initial activation, the option will work until it is disabled. Therefore, after leaving the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, you should disable the option in order to avoid additional costs. Shutdown is free.

Connection command: * 143 * 61 # .

Shutdown command: * 143 * 60 # .

Status check: * 143 * 6 # .

Mobile Internet in Crimea

As mentioned above, the cost of 1 Mb of traffic within the framework of the “Like at home in Crimea” service and without it is 3 rubles. This is not very beneficial for active Internet users. Therefore, the Tele2 operator recommends that active Internet users install the “Unlimited Internet in Crimea” option.

Access to the global network is also carried out through the Win Mobile operator. But to activate Tele2 Internet in roaming while in Crimea, you need to perform small manipulations on your mobile device:

1. Go to "Settings" on your mobile phone.
2. Open the Data Roaming subsection.
3. Click on the "Enable" or "Yes" button.

If the Internet settings are not activated, then you can order them by calling 679.

Description of the service "Unlimited Internet in Crimea"

Subscription fee - 300 rubles per day. Initial activation is free. Secondary and all subsequent activations - 300 rubles. The option is available for all tariffs. Internet traffic with the activated option is unlimited. As for the speed, the first 200 Mb per day is not limited, then it will drop to 128 Kbps.

The advantage of the service is that the fee is charged only when you actually go online. If the user has not accessed the Internet during the day, then the subscription fee of 300 rubles for that day will not be debited from the phone balance.

Connection command: * 143 * 51 # .

Shutdown command: * 143 * 50 # .

Activity check: * 143 * 5 # .

Zero Everywhere service

This option is very beneficial when traveling in Russia, because under its terms the user pays a subscription fee of 3 rubles / day and 30 rubles for connection, and receives the following benefits: incoming - 0 rubles, outgoing to all Russian numbers - 2 rubles / min, sending messages to all Russian numbers - 2.50 rubles / SMS.

That is why many Tele2 customers are in a hurry to connect this particular option when going on a trip to the Crimea. But here we should focus on the fact that these conditions apply throughout the territory of the Russian Federation, except for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.

To date, Tele2 has created only two options for communication: “Like at home in Crimea” and “Unlimited Internet in Crimea”.

The cost of services of the Crimean operator Win Mobile

There is another way to communicate in the Crimea - through the mobile operator Win Mobile. That is, you can purchase a SIM card from this operator and activate special services to save money on your balance. For example, the tariff "On the sea". According to its terms, you will have to pay 3 rubles per minute for outgoing calls within the Russian Federation, and 10 rubles per 100 MB for traffic.

Another favorable tariff of this operator for guests is “Freedom of Communication” with the “Big Country” option activated. Under the terms of the tariff, the subscriber is given 60 minutes every day to communicate within the network, all incoming calls are free, and outgoing calls within Russia are 2.95 rubles / min. The option is activated free of charge, and the subscription fee is 3 rubles per day. It is also possible to connect additional services to access the network, since without additional options the cost of 1 Mb of traffic is 10 rubles.

If you focus more on the Internet, and not on calls, then you can activate the Fast and the Furious tariff, according to which you will receive 15 GB of traffic for 400 rubles / month.

Other mobile operators in Crimea

In addition to the well-known Crimean operator Win Mobile, there are also such operators as Krymtelecom, Volna and Sevmobile.

Below we will briefly describe the most interesting offers of the listed mobile operators:

But you can try to purchase a SIM card through the official website of the operator. This service will cost 150 rubles, of which 100 rubles will be returned to the balance. You can pay for communication services through the My Tele2 mobile application, through your Personal Account or with electronic money. Payment through terminals is also possible, but according to the reviews of many subscribers, it does not always work - sometimes the terminal may fail. You can also connect in advance "" and set a non-reducing balance, upon reaching which the balance will be automatically replenished from the linked card for the amount you set.

The reunification of Crimea with Russia has made the peninsula a popular holiday and business destination for Muscovites. But due to the unregulated state status, the phones of Russian operators in this region work in international roaming.

Using mobile communications while traveling around the peninsula is an expensive pleasure, but not for Tele2 subscribers. This is one of the largest cellular companies, covering the whole of Russia with a network, relies on the availability of services and the quality of communication.
