"Tele2" is a relatively young Russian telecom operator, standing out from the "big three" with its inexpensive tariffs and a variety of services and services. The operator was notorious among fans for never forcing any service on them. Everything was as transparent as possible. The low price remained low. Additional services remained optional. Alas, nothing lasts forever, just like the conscience of Russian operators, who are very fond of money and quietly connect expensive services to subscribers, slowly sucking their hard-earned money out of their accounts. In this article, we will look at what services the operator offers and how to get rid of them.

Most of the services provided by the operator are almost the same as those offered by other operators. Among them are, for example, automatic payments from a bank card.

Of course, it is possible to pay for changing the beep, where without it (2017 is in the yard, but the service lives and is in demand). Basic things are also available, such as voicemail, message forwarding and incoming call tracking.
There are quite contradictory things. For example, the anonymity service during calls (numbers are hidden from other people), but at the same time there is an option that disables this anonymity, which makes the first function useless. Those who want to fool around can connect the function of changing the voice during a call. Of the useful things, only tracking the geolocation of the user can be distinguished. This is useful if you want to control the movement of the child, for example.
