How to exchange minutes for gigabytes for Tele2?

Now in Russia there are a bunch of different mobile operators, each of which is trying to win the race for an audience and a leading position in the market. But in this regard, Tele2, which was founded more than twenty years ago, is superior to everyone. Now this mobile operator constantly offers unique tariff plans, launches special promotions and various services for a completely democratic price. In addition, the company provides its customers with access to high-speed Internet and television.

However, most often users discuss innovative promotions from this operator. One of these promotions allows you to exchange the remaining Tele2 minutes for gigabytes of the Internet. This is an extremely convenient option, but not all users know how to change minutes to GB and what is needed for this.

Tele2 is always ahead

It is not surprising that at least 40 million people use the services of this mobile operator. It is Tele2 that are the first to launch unique promotions and services that make the company the undoubted market leader. Previously, the operator has already launched a special promotion called "Balance Transfer".

Its essence was that all unused minutes of communication and megabytes of users were transferred to the next month, instead of being burned out. At that time, none of the mobile operators offered anything like this. Exactly the same situation happened with the recently launched promotion, which gave subscribers the opportunity to exchange their minutes for Internet traffic. Many people liked this opportunity, because every month people have a lot of free minutes, and megabytes of the Internet will be used up very quickly. The promotion has become very popular, but even now not everyone knows how to exchange minutes for GB and at what rate the exchange takes place.

More about this service

Alternative mobile operator Tele2 launched this service at the end of 2017 and it was warmly received by all subscribers. The company's representatives said that such services are provided for by its strategy of creating a unique service that, due to its flexibility, will adapt to all user needs. The service of exchanging minutes for megabytes provided for by the tariff plan was launched due to the fact that recently there has been a rapid growth in Internet traffic consumption.

It also happened that subscribers spent all their megabytes in the first week after the next payment. This was shown by statistics from the profiles of many subscribers, according to which minutes are now a non-priority need. This, as well as other services, make tariff plans more individual and allow you to adjust the volume of services for yourself. It turns out that this service relieves Tele2 subscribers from:

1. Constant purchase of additional packages of Internet traffic.
2. Expectations of a new package of gigabytes, which are issued at the next monthly fee.

Tele2 exchange rate

Exchanging minutes for megabytes is exactly like exchanging currencies at a bank. The mobile operator approves and fixes the exchange rate, but so far these quotes have never changed. It looks like this:

1. For 1 unused minute, 10.24 megabytes of traffic is offered.
2. 10 free minutes of communication can be exchanged for 102.4 megabytes of mobile data.
3. For 100 unused minutes, you can get a whole free gigabyte.

In fact, it is extremely simple to transfer minutes to Tele2 gigabytes, but we must not forget to check the current rate. So far, no bonuses are provided for the exchanged volumes, but the company promises that it will soon introduce them as well. Users often have questions about why such a non-circular megabyte figure is offered in one minute. The thing is that one gigabyte contains not a thousand megabytes, but exactly 1024. In accordance with this, the exchange rate is set.

What minutes can be exchanged?

This promotion has its own specific restrictions, for example, the user can transfer only a few minutes. Unused minutes specified in the tariff are subject to conversion into traffic. It is also allowed to convert the minutes obtained by connecting the special service "Transfer of balances" and those minutes that the user connected to himself using the functionality available within the service "Set the tariff for yourself". It is worth remembering that connecting megabytes in this way is far from possible in all regions.

But on this limit, the shares are not uploaded. The exchange can be made by those subscribers who have connected one of the following tariff plans:

1. "My conversation."
2. "My online".
3. "My Online +".
4. "Premium".

Representatives of the company promise that soon this restriction will be lifted and the promotion will be available to all other Tele2 subscribers. However, the operator does not name any specific terms for lifting the restriction. Conveniently, the exchange service does not need to be activated. It is available to every client by default.

How to change minutes to Gigabytes?

Before making an exchange, you need to find out the number of minutes available for conversion. There are several ways to do this, but the simplest is a USSD request. To do this, you need to dial a special combination * 155 * 77 # and press the call key. The request will be processed within a few seconds, after which a window will appear with full information about the minutes available for exchange. But sometimes users need information about previous exchanges. To do this, dial the combination * 155 * 64 # and press the call button, after which the user will be provided with all the data regarding the conversions.

After that, you can make an exchange in any available way, for example, using USSD commands or through your personal account. There is nothing difficult in this, you just need to know the procedure and follow it clearly.

What do you need to know before making an exchange?

• You need to know the current exchange rate, which can always be found on the official website of the Tele2 mobile operator.
• You can use this promotion throughout Russia, but it is not available in the city of Sevastopol and throughout the Republic of Crimea.
• The exchanged traffic volumes must be used until the next monthly fee is charged. The exchanged megabytes expire at the end of the month. They also burn out when the user changes their tariff plan.
• There are priorities for using the traffic available to the subscriber. The first to be used are the megabytes of traffic exchanged for minutes. Further, the megabytes obtained with the help of the special service "Transfer of balances" will be used. And only after that the traffic provided by the subscriber's tariff plan will be used.
• If the user has connected one of the special tariff plans with a monthly subscription fee by installments, he will not be able to use this service until he has paid the entire amount of the subscription fee.
• The amount of Internet traffic obtained by converting minutes to megabytes does not carry over to the next month.

Before proceeding with the exchange, it is imperative to know all these features, otherwise you may immediately face certain difficulties and errors. It is important to know that the operator is constantly improving this promotion, and therefore, over time, new rules and restrictions appear. To stay up to date with all the changes, you should always check the information on the official website of Tele2 in the appropriate section.

How do I exchange minutes using commands?

At first, it's easier to figure out how to add traffic volume using commands. People who once used conventional push-button telephones for a long time probably understood the special combinations of numbers, asterisks and lattices that they dialed to obtain this or that information. Such combinations are a USSD request. A request is a special command, with the help of which all necessary information is exchanged between the subscriber's phone and the servers of the mobile operator.

The exchange of the necessary data takes place in real time, almost instantly. The subscriber sends a request, after which it is processed for several seconds. At the end of processing, a window appears on the phone screen with all the requested information. These USSD requests have not gone anywhere, even now they are actively used by subscribers. They allow you to connect and disconnect various services, check the balance of a mobile phone, find out the remaining megabytes of the Internet, receive special settings, change the tariff plan and more.

You can exchange the available minutes for megabytes without going to the Tele2 website using one simple command. You just need to dial the combination * 155 * 62 * XXX # and press the call button. Instead of "XXX", the subscriber must indicate the number of minutes that he wants to convert. It turns out that if the user dials the combination * 155 * 62 * 10 #, then he will exchange his ten unused minutes for 102.4 megabytes of Internet traffic. This method is ideal for those people who do not know how to convert another way or do not want to spend too much time on it. In addition, the use of USSD requests does not require any special efforts from a person, such a method is available to every user, and therefore no difficulties should arise. The problem is that such a combination can be difficult to remember, and therefore it is better to write it down somewhere.

Registration in your personal account to exchange minutes for megabytes

Like many other mobile operators, Tele2 offers its users a bunch of opportunities, including a personal account. A personal account is an individual workspace for each subscriber, which contains all the detailed information regarding the user's tariff plan and not only. With the help of a personal account, users can manage expenses, find out useful statistics, change the tariff plan, connect various services, and subscribe. But to enter your personal account, you will need to have access to the Internet, which is not always convenient.

So, in order to exchange gigabytes for Tele2 through your personal account, you must first enter it. If the user has never entered his personal account before, then he will have to go through the registration procedure. In general, it looks like this:

1. First you need to go to the official website of the mobile operator. Here you need to not make a mistake and do not go to a third-party site. The official resource is located at teleru. The site can be easily found through a search engine, but it's easier to enter the desired address right away.
2. Now you need to select your home region. In most cases, the site itself correctly determines the region, but you can change it at any time on the main page.
3. The next step is to find the "Login" button, which is located in the upper right part of the site on the main page. This button must be pressed, after which a special form will appear in front of the subscriber.
4. Under the form there will be a tab "By number and password", which must be clicked.
5. Now you need to click on the "Remember or get password" item.
6. After that, the registration itself in the system will begin directly. The subscriber will simply need to enter his phone number in the window that appears and click on the "Continue" button.
7. Now you will need to wait a bit, after which an SMS message with a special code should come to the user's phone. This code must be entered at the next stage of registration in a special field. After that, the user will be given access to his personal account.

In the future, you can enter your personal account to exchange minutes for GB by entering only the phone number and the password received during registration. If desired, the password can always be changed to another, which is much easier to remember.

How to exchange minutes using your Tele2 personal account?

Now we need to figure out how to change minutes to gigabytes on the Tele2 website. Conversion is as easy as in the case of USSD commands. Having entered your personal account, you need to go to the "Tariffs and balances" menu. There you will need to find the "Exchange minutes for gigabytes" service. After that, you just need to choose an available, convenient exchange option and convert. Here you can choose one of the special offers from the Tele2 mobile operator, or specify a specific number of minutes to exchange. The user will immediately be shown how many gigabytes of Internet traffic he will receive in return.

All the same can be done in a special application of the mobile operator. This application has full functionality and provides the user with exactly the same services as a personal account on the site.

The application can be downloaded from the AppStore or GooglePlay. Roughly speaking, the Tele2 application literally transfers the user's personal account directly to his phone, without forcing him to visit the site every time. Conversion is exactly the same. You just need to go to the "Tariffs and balances" menu, after which you will need to select the appropriate option.

Conclusion

That's all you need to know to properly convert minutes to megabytes of Internet traffic. There is nothing difficult in this, you just need to follow the instructions. The main thing is not to forget to check the current rate before the exchange and find out more about all the restrictions.
