When purchasing a new gadget, smartphone or tablet PC, any user who plans to use the Internet faces the problem of making settings. Of course, it’s nice when this procedure is carried out automatically and you don’t need to independently look for the answer to the question of which Tele2 access point should be specified in the settings. However, not all settings for the mobile network are set up so smoothly. Sometimes, in order to still use the Internet, you need to work hard. In this article, we will talk about how to set up access to the Global Network and which Tele2 access point should be registered in the device.
When do I need to set up the Internet?
In general, there are three cases when it is guaranteed that you will have to at least check whether the necessary parameters for accessing the Internet are present in the corresponding section of the menu of the cellular device:
- when buying a new SIM card - even if you previously successfully used the Global Network to search for data, view them and other operations, then when purchasing a SIM card of the carrier in question (however, as for a SIM card of any other operator) will have to reset the parameters;
- when installing an existing SIM card in a new cellular device, an access point must also be registered; "Tele2" Internet will provide only if there are appropriate settings;
- when replacing a SIM card (due to loss, breakage, etc.).
General Settings
Due to the variety of mobile devices, it is necessary to explain and talk about the possible nuances and subtleties in each case. First, let's give a general description of the parameters that are necessary for your mobile gadget to connect to the Internet without problems.
The main parameter is the access point (apn) "Tele2" - the corresponding field should be set to "internet.tele2.ru". Next comes the type of connection (for some models, a different name may be rolled) - GPRS. All other settings are optional. However, we still present them here:
- proxy server must be in "off" status;
- login and password do not need to be entered (i.e. fields must be left blank);
- connection name can be set arbitrarily by the user.
Internet 4G
Many subscribers - owners of SIM cards of the telecom operator in question are faced with the inability to use the 4G Internet, although the official Tele2 portal contains information that such a possibility exists. What could be the problem? How should the Tele2 access point be configured? It turns out that the whole point is that to get super-fast Internet, which, according to operators, is 4G, settings alone are not enough. It is necessary that the subscriber's device has support for LTE-1800 (Band 3) - you can find out about the presence of this parameter by viewing the user manual of the gadget or check on the website of its manufacturer. Another condition that must be met is obtaining a special SIM card that makes it possible to interact with the 4G network. You can get it at the office of the operator referred to in the current article. And you can do it completely free of charge.
Get automatic settings
For owners of mobile devices who have difficulty setting up the Internet, an automatic service "Tele2" has been developed, when accessed, you can receive a message with the necessary parameters on your phone. To send a request, dial 679. Then, after a notification about the receipt of a new message appears on the screen, go to it and execute the "Save" ("Apply" command, other variations are possible). After successful completion of the operation, you should reboot the device and check if thethe Tele2 access point is filled automatically.
Making manual settings
If you fail to automatically configure the device, it is recommended to try to repeat this procedure several times, that is, you should perform it manually. The Tele2 access point on Android devices and devices with other operating systems uses the same one. The only difference is to determine where exactly in your device is the settings section. For example, for "Android": go to the main settings of the device, then select the "Cellular connection" section, then the item - "Access points (APN)". In the section that opens, create a new access point and add all the parameters that were specified earlier.
Why can't I get online?
If the Tele2 access point was successfully registered on your phone or tablet, along with other parameters necessary for the Internet to work, but you still cannot use this service, then you should check:
- whether mobile data is enabled (it is not enough just to set up the Internet, but it is also necessary to allow its use in the device settings - you can find out more by reading the user manual);
- clarify the rest of the traffic (if the unlimited internet option is connected);
- check account balance – even if the unlimited internet option is enabled, the account must have a positive balance;
- make sure the operating systemfunctions normally - it is recommended to restart the device to check the operation.
