In Svyaznoy stores, customers can purchase Tele2 virtual cards on favorable terms. When buying an eSim with the “My Online” tariff, the operator’s subscribers receive 60 GB of Internet traffic. The bonus is accrued by 10 GB per month for six months when you pay a subscription fee for the tariff.

eSIM technology eliminates the need for physical SIM cards. Using virtual cards is convenient: there is no need to remove and insert a plastic card, you can install several eSIMs with different numbers on one smartphone. The virtual SIM cannot be lost or damaged.

Nikolay Belogubets, director of sales and customer service management at Tele2: “The eSIM technology, which our company was the first to introduce in Russian telecom, is becoming more and more popular. In 2021, the number of virtual card activations increased by 5.5 times year on year. The potential of the innovative technology is also confirmed by the penetration of eSIM-enabled devices in the Tele2 network: their share increased from 3 to 6% over the past year. Tele2 is interested in developing an innovative direction. The Svyaznoy company has a wide coverage of the network of salons and high expertise in the provision of services. The joint project will allow us to strengthen our presence in the retail market of virtual SIM cards.”

Maxim Sledkov, Vice President for Telecommunications and Financial Services at Svyaznoy:

 “Virtual cards are in demand. Customers increasingly prefer eSIM, which allows you to have two numbers on one phone or, on the contrary, connect several smartphones, tablets, smart watches and other smart devices to one number at the same time. The main thing is that the gadget supports eSIM. Our partner Tele2 is a technology innovator and demonstrates an impressive growth rate of virtual cards. We are pleased to offer customers of Svyaznoy stores an up-to-date innovative solution.”

eSIM technology from Tele2 can be connected in Svyaznoy stores in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities of Russia, where the mobile operator provides services. Subscribers will need a passport to conclude an agreement on the provision of communication services and an application to replace a regular plastic SIM card with an eSIM.
