Answers to frequently asked questions
Below are answers to frequently asked questions, as well as what you can do in the event of an emergency.
Is it possible to transfer money from an MTS phone to a Tele2 phone without commission?
Unfortunately, this cannot be done without a commission. It is recommended to transfer money using the methods proposed above when you are, for example, outside the city, where there are no ATMs, terminals, or the Internet.
Transferred money to the wrong phone number
You must submit an application to the office of the cellular company Tele2. Don't forget to attach your payment receipt.
The money has not been received by the recipient, but has already been debited from your account
Call MTS support:
- 0890 – from your mobile number;
- 8-800-250-0890 – from city telephone exchanges and numbers of other cellular companies;
- 7 495 766 0166 – when located outside the region of residence.
The operator will check what transactions you have performed recently. If a technical error occurs, you will need to personally go to the MTS office and submit a written application to seek payment. The deadline for completing your application is 5 days.
How to avoid falling for scammers
Remember simple rules:
- do not answer calls or open sms and mms from unknown numbers;
- do not share your personal data, your card numbers and passwords with strangers;
- do not send SMS in response to messages about winnings, surveys, changes in the tariff on your number or problems with the card;
- do not transfer money to third parties at their request to return the “erroneously credited payment”.
Fraudsters especially often try to gain access to the “Easy Payment” application. An SMS with a recovery code from the service is sent to your phone. And a few minutes later a person calls and apologizes, allegedly he entered his number incorrectly in the application, he made a mistake by one digit, so the message got to you. Then he asks to voice the “cherished” combination. After you tell him the code, you will receive another message that money has been successfully transferred from your account.
If such an unpleasant situation occurs to you, then urgently call your telecom operator to cancel the operation. The faster you do this, the higher the likelihood of getting your lost item back.
What to do if money disappears from your phone
If you periodically lose money from your phone, then:
- Make a USSD request: *152*22#call and unsubscribe from all unnecessary subscriptions.
- Change your password in your personal account and in mobile applications.
- Study in detail the details of all your calls and messages for at least one month.
- Call the MTS office and, together with the manager, go through in detail all the transactions on your phone account recently.
Mobile payments make it quick and easy to transfer money. You don’t need to remember the personal details of the recipient and constantly carry your passport with you in order to send money through the post office or bank. You only need to know the phone number of the recipient of the money transfer and be careful during payment transactions.
0 (0 votes)Each subscriber has the right to switch from one operator to another while maintaining their telephone number. And this possibility is enshrined at the legislative level. Today, this service is used by many people who want to get better or cheaper communications. Let's see how to switch from MTS to Tele2 while keeping your number and what you need for this. Let us note right away that the procedure is extremely streamlined, so difficulties should not arise.
Benefits of switching to Tele2
The ability to save your number was perceived by many subscribers as good news. For a long time this was impossible until the corresponding law was adopted. Cellular operators had to comply, despite the possible loss of customers, including old ones.
Let's look at the main reasons for the transition:
- The subscriber is not satisfied with the expensive tariff plans of the current operator - at the same time, he likes the offers of other companies (in our case, Tele2);
- People are not satisfied with the quality of communication and coverage area - for example, many complain about poor coverage in suburban areas;
- Customers need additional services and options that the current operator does not have.
Thanks to the current legislation of Russia, it has become possible to switch from MTS to Tele2 while maintaining the number, and in the shortest possible time. At first, the transfer was accompanied by various technical difficulties, and operators warned subscribers about possible interruptions in communication and Internet access. Today, problems are possible only for a limited period - up to half an hour, less often up to several hours.
As practical experiments have shown, there are no interruptions in communication at the time of transition - the Internet works great, phones make and receive calls, and text messages are also sent and received.
We have already found out that it is possible to switch from MTS to Tele2 while maintaining the number. It remains to consider the benefits of such a transition:
- Tele2 has a wide coverage area - in recent years the operator has significantly expanded the number of base stations. There is also a significant expansion of the 4G zone;
- The Tele2 signal is confidently received even outside the city - a big plus for travelers and summer residents;
- Tele2 has excellent balanced tariff plans and many interesting additional services and options - a good reason to change your telecom operator.
By switching from MTS and keeping your number, you can continue to receive calls as if nothing had happened. This is most important for business people, who should never change their phone number. In addition, you don’t have to notify your interlocutors and subscribers from the phone book about changing your number - they won’t notice anything.
There is only one drawback to the transfer - if previously it was possible to find out whether a number belonged to a particular network using the federal code, today it is necessary to use additional tools for this. To clarify affiliation, use the official website of the Central Research Institute of Communications.
The number is indicated in ten-digit format – without 8 and +7.
Transfer instructions - in detail and step by step
To switch from MTS to Tele2 while keeping your number, at the first stage you need to work with your current operator. The first step is to clarify who the SIM card is issued to. If it is registered to another person, it is necessary to re-register. To do this, both subscribers must visit the service office, armed with their passports. Worst of all, if the real owner is far away, in this case a power of attorney will be required from him.
If you do not know where the real owner is, then you will have to forget about transferring the number to Tele2 - either use the current operator or buy a new SIM card.
There is another situation - if the SIM card is issued with old passport data, you will have to visit the MTS office and update them. Otherwise, the transfer will be refused, since all parties involved in the transfer compare subscriber data with each other. If everything is in order with your passport data, we go to the Tele2 service office.
In order to switch from MTS with your number, follow these steps:
- Decide on the choice of tariff plan;
- Write a statement to the nearest office indicating your passport details and current number;
- Get a temporary SIM card.
Typically the transition occurs on the ninth day after completing the application. You can also specify any date within the next 180 days (except for the first eight days). On the date specified in the application, you need to remove the old SIM card from your phone and install a new one - the old one will become inactive. If some communication services still do not work, you should wait or call 8-800-555-0611. SMS notification is provided at all stages of the transfer.
By the way, there are situations in which it will not be possible to switch from MTS to Tele2 while maintaining the number.
All the largest mobile operators in Russia provide their users with services through which you can transfer funds from a SIM card to other accounts: be it a mobile number, a bank card, an account of a certain organization, and much more. This service is in great demand, although MTS asked for a large commission for it.
However, the procedure is convenient and simple, does not require a lot of time and effort, and is also often a way out of an unfavorable situation in which there is no money in the bank account, and it is necessary to urgently top up a loved one’s phone or make another payment, which until recently was would be impossible from the SIM card balance.
