None of today's teenagers almost know about the existence of USSD commands - and really, why do they need them if there is a full-fledged application!? By and large, it is a more convenient version of your personal account, and it is much easier to access it from a smartphone or tablet. Plus it's completely free.
If the application is not installed, follow the instructions.

Have you ever wondered how many minutes, megabytes and SMS messages you have left each month? Their value increases significantly if you understand what they could be spent on: longer communication with family, downloading games and watching videos from video hosting sites, visiting social networks and sending SMS to your friends. Operator Tele2 has completely transformed all the rules!
At the end of January 2017, the Russian cellular company Tele2 launched a unique service called “Balance Transfer”. Everything paid for will be spent - from now on, the remaining minutes, SMS notifications and traffic unused by the subscriber during the month, provided under the terms of the tariff plan, will not expire, they will be transferred to the next month. This is an ideal example of a marketing policy based on special offers.
The terms of this service involve saving unused packages of minutes, SMS notifications and megabytes for Internet access and transferring them to the next month.
Example:
If a subscriber’s tariff includes 400 minutes, and in 30 days he has spent only 200 of them, then next month he will receive 200 (remaining) + 400 (updated package) = 600 minutes for free communication.
The transfer of unused SMS messages and remaining traffic is carried out in the same way. At the same time, at the beginning of the new month, those packages that were transferred from the previous period will be written off, and only then newly accrued ones.
It will not be possible to save on the mandatory subscription fee and stretch the existing set of packages for 2 months - the balances will be transferred only after paying the subscription fee for the coming month. So you still have to top up your balance.
Note! The transfer of remaining packages to Tele2 will not be unlimited - it only applies to the previous month, all earlier balances will expire.
Example:
When a subscriber has used only 100 of the 400 minutes provided, and in the next month (after transferring the balance) only 200, the remaining 100 minutes are no longer transferred to the third period.
Transferring unused packages makes it possible not to lose the paid packages, using your own cell phone more rationally. Having saved bonus minutes in one month, in another the consumer will be able to spend more time in pleasant conversations with family and friends - without making extra payments for this.
