How to switch from Beeline to Tele2 while maintaining the number

For many of us, changing an operator seems like a disaster: social networks, mailboxes, and payment systems are tied to the phone. And there is nothing to say about the size of the list of contacts who will have to send the newsletter. Therefore, there is nothing left but to switch from Beeline to Tele2 while maintaining the number. This can be done in two ways.

Before you start

The question of whether it is possible to switch to Tele2 from Beeline while keeping the number is no longer raised today: the right to save one’s own contact information is enshrined in law. However, there are also legitimate reasons for refusal. Make sure that the card does not have the following problems:

  • There is a discrepancy between the details of the passport for which the old SIM was issued and those indicated in the application for the purchase of a new one. There is only one way out: contact the real owner of the card and go with him to the operator’s salon. There is an agreement to transfer the number to you.
  • Debts and blockages. Nothing can be done about blocking due to non-use of the number. We pay off debts and make sure that they do not appear until the number porting procedure is completed.
  • Inconsistency between the region of ownership of the old Sim and the design of the new one. You should contact the salon of the city where the source was purchased.

To check if there is a debt, send a USSD request: *102# call button. The blocking, if it was voluntary, can be removed at the Beeline office or from your personal account on the operator’s website.

Two ways to go

If you have a computer at your disposal, you can do without a personal visit to the operator’s office. We go to Tele2 with our Beeline number like this:


Thus, you can use any mobile operator.

The company has two delivery options: free - the next day, and paid - they will deliver in 2-3 hours. Transferring a number to Tele2 from Beeline is paid, the amount depends on the region where the transaction is made. The maximum cost of the service is 100 rubles.

How to transfer a number from beeline to tele2 if there is no access to the Internet or computer:

  • We take our passport and go to the operator’s office.
  • With the help of a consultant, we draw up an application for number porting and sign it. During the process, we indicate the preferred date for the transition: any date in the next 6 months, but not earlier than 9 days from the date of writing the application.
  • You will also have to sign a contract for the purchase of a new Sim.

If you still have numbers from your previous operator that have funds, then the article about transferring money from a beeline account to tele2 will be very useful.

A SIM card brought by a courier or received at a dealership will first have a random number, but then the system will change it to yours. From now on you will be able to use your new Sim as usual. You will be notified in advance about the time of card change. You might be interested in reading how to switch from MTS to Tele2 without changing your number.
