Ukraine is famous for its excellent cuisine, wonderful women, metallurgists and miners, as well as beautiful nature and excellent climate. This country hosted the FIFA World Cup last year. In general, Russia and Ukraine remain fraternal countries, no matter who says anything. It is all the more interesting to understand the intricacies of modern Ukrainian telecom, where you can find some of the lowest tariffs for mobile communications and the Internet and great difficulties with 3G operation.

The Internet project "Be Mobile" continues, cellular communication and the Internet in the most different countries the world. Our guides will help you save money and get the most freedom and mobility when traveling abroad. Today we will sort out the tariffs for mobile communications and the Internet in Ukraine, where hundreds of thousands of Russians go every year. If you are going to this country in the near future, we recommend that you study this material up and down.

In terms of penetration of mobile communications, Internet, Pay TV and fixed telephony, Ukraine ranks in the middle of the list of European countries. At the beginning of 2013, just over 58 million subscribers (penetration rate of about 130%) used mobile services, 5.5 million households had access to the Internet (50% of the country's population), and about 15 million households had access to television.

Mobile communication in Ukraine

Currently, there are six national operators operating in Ukraine. These are Kyivstar, MTS, Life :), which provide services in the GSM standard (MTS also provides 3G services based on CDMA450 1x EV-DO Rev A), TriMob, the only UMTS operator, as well as Intertelecom and PEOPLEnet »Using CDMA 1x EV-DO Rev B and EV-DO Rev A, respectively. 90% of the country's territory is in the 2G coverage area, 15% - 3G. 4G networks are missing.

At the same time, there are only three truly large operators with a large coverage area and subscriber base: Kyivstar, MTS and Life :). CDMA operators provide mobile Internet services to a greater extent and have a very significant share in their niche. This situation is largely due to the lack of free frequencies for deploying UMTS / HSPA networks. GSM operators still provide Mobile Internet by EDGE. As an alternative, MTS is forced to use CDMA EV-DO Rev A at 450 MHz for mobile Internet. At the same time, when traveling to Europe or Russia, subscribers experience difficulties: their devices and modems do not work.

And the only operator "TriMob" (the mobile division of "Ukrtelecom"), which has UMTS2100 licenses, is unable to build a large and high-quality 3G network throughout the country. The company simply does not have enough money.

It is all the more interesting to observe the situation around Ukrtelecom, which was bought in June 2013 SCM group. SCM owns a 45% share of the mobile operator Life :). It is logical to assume that after some time the operator Life :) will be able to launch 3G under its own brand, investing its own investments in construction. However, Ukrainian experts are confident that there is no point in hoping for a full-fledged 3G appearance soon. Everything is about politics.

So it turns out that our Slavic brothers have a place not only for GSM, but also for CDMA. Virtual operators have not taken root in Ukraine, although there have been such attempts. The situation with MVNO is very similar to what we can observe in Russia.

In July 2013, there were 60 million mobile subscribers... At the same time, the penetration rate of cellular services reached 130%. This fits well with the average European figures.

Roaming with a Russian operator

id = "sub1">

Currently, every federal operator in Russia provides an opportunity to activate preferential roaming services. All these services and options apply to Ukraine. However, when traveling to this country, I would recommend buying and using local sim cards. Why? Because the roaming charges of Russian operators in Ukraine are unreasonably high.

Here is a comparative table of special rates and services in international roaming in Ukraine for 2013.

Operator	Rostelecom	MTS	Megaphone	Beeline	Motive	Tele2
Option name	World roaming	Zero without borders	Euro Tariff	Multipass	Roaming NON-STOP	International roaming
Connection	0	0	0	0	12 RUB	0
Subscription fee	14 rub / day	25 rub / day	not	10 rub / day	2 rub / day	not
Incoming calls	14 rub / min - the first and starting from the 11th minute 0 rub / min - from the 2nd to the 10th minute	0 rub / min - from the 1st to the 10th minute (but not more than 200 free minutes per month) 5 rub / min - starting from 11 minutes	RUB 6	RUB 5	RUB 7.7	RUB 9.45
Outgoing to Russia	RUB 14	25 rub / min - 1st minute and from 6th minute 15 rubles / min - from the 2nd to the 5th minute	RUB 16	RUB 15	149 r	RUB 9.45
Outgoing calls within Ukraine	RUB 14	RUB 33	RUB 16	RUB 15		RUB 9.45
SMS	RUB 4	7.5 RUB	RUB 6	3.95 RUB	12 RUB	RUB 4.5
Internet per MB	RUB 501	358 r		RUB 30.21	RUB 563.8	RUB 25

And these are prices with special options! Without connecting the described services, you will spend 5-6 times more on roaming.

In order not to be left with a broken phone while roaming, I recommend that you check before the trip if your number has international roaming service. It is also necessary to ensure that there is enough money in the account, taking into account expenses.

To top up your account in roaming, you can use a bank card tied to a phone number, express payment cards. In an emergency, you can in any way ask relatives or close people to top up the balance of your phone.

The second (economical) way to stay in touch is to buy a SIM card from a local operator. This method will help you save a lot of money on communication services, since all calls from local mobile companies from Ukraine to Russia are 5-7 times cheaper than Russian calls with roaming.

Local SIM

id = "sub2">

As in other European countries, two types of tariffs are available to customers: prepaid and contract. The prepaid payment system assumes complete anonymity of the subscriber. To buy a sim card, you do not need a document proving your identity. For this reason, sim cards can be bought anywhere and from anyone: in a salon, at a train station, at a newsstand, in an underpass, etc. The contract also provides for the formal conclusion of the contract. To do this, the subscriber will need an identity card. At the same time, contract rates allow you to receive services on credit. Only a resident of the country can become a contract subscriber. According to the Ukrainian statistics center, 80% of subscribers use prepaid cellular communications, 20% - on a contract basis.

It is also worth noting that many prepaid and contractual tariffs of Ukrainian operators have a so-called connection fee (CCD). It is debited one time at the time of each call. CCD appeared several years ago and became a reaction to the law obliging operators to charge each call per second from the first second.

The average cost of a contract tariff with unlimited voice within the network, a block of 4,000 minutes to other networks, 1,000 SMS, free mobile Internet, 100 minutes of international calls is 600 hryvnia (2,400 rubles) per month. The package is two times smaller and without international calls will cost 1,000 rubles a month.

People who are in Ukraine temporarily (work, study, rest), for the most part, use prepaid tariffs. These offers have good consumer properties, you can connect to them without documents, in customer service centers or in ordinary retail outlets and supermarkets. The tariffs do not have a subscription fee, but some of them have a mandatory monthly payment, which must be credited to the account. In addition, the account is replenished with payment cards, and the minimum value of the cards is 30 hryvnia. You can easily top up your account using your bank card.

When connected, the subscriber will be charged from 50 to 30 hryvnia, and the balance on the sim card account will be from 30 to 15 hryvnia. For a Russian citizen, this may seem like robbery, but such rules have developed in Ukraine.

The cost of calling abroad to landline and mobile phones may differ in a lower tariff when calling to landlines. The cheapest calls are made to subscribers to Russia. True, we can only talk about this when using special "travel" or tourist rates. They are 10-20 times cheaper than basic offers. For example, the minimum price for fixed-line numbers in Russia at a special rate is from 60 Russian kopecks per minute. On the mobile call will cost more - 3 rubles on average. The basic rate is 48 rubles per minute. A call to the European Union on a promotional rate costs 3.5 rubles per minute, and on a basic one - 72 rubles per minute.

Examples of the current tariffs of the prepaid system of payments for mobile communications in 2013 in Ukraine. Prices are indicated in rubles at the rate of 4 rubles per hryvnia excluding the 7.5% fee on the cost of the service in Pension Fund Ukraine.

As the data in the table shows, mobile connection in Ukraine it costs almost the same as in Russia. Ukrainian tariffs are several times lower than in other European countries. However, there are some peculiarities here in the form of connection fees and inadequately high base rates for mobile Internet. It is worth talking about the Ukrainian mobile Internet separately.

Mobile Internet

id = "sub3">

The mobile Internet in Ukraine can be used both on an unlimited basis, per megabyte, and you can buy traffic blocks. The first option is more typical for CDMA operators, since they can handle a huge amount of Internet traffic through their 3G networks with special problems. The latter option is used by GSM operators. All of them, with the exception of the operator "TriMob" ("OGO! Mobile", are limited by the EDGE ceiling. For this reason, roaming subscribers of GSM networks from Russia and Europe feel low Internet speeds.

In general, the tariff parameters are very similar to those in Russia. On unlimited tariffs of CDMA operators there is a fixed block of traffic with no speed limit. Further, the speed is cut to 128 Kbps. The subscriber has the opportunity to buy additional package traffic without speed limit. In addition, some of the tariffs are completely unlimited. The subscription fee in this case is about 900 rubles per month. The data transfer rate is limited to 3 Mbps.

A USB modem and R-UIM card can be purchased at any operator's office or in partner stores. The average price of the device is 340 hryvnia for CDMA 1x Rev A (1360 rubles) and 600 hryvnia for the variant with CDMA 1x Rev B support (2400 rubles).

As for 3G and even more so LTE, Ukraine is among the laggards here. The deployment of the first third-generation network in Ukraine started back in July 2006 by the efforts of Ukrtelecom. However, the operator was able to allocate only $ 150 million to build the network, which was clearly not enough for nationwide coverage. Experts then stated that the actions of Ukrtelecom's management were caused only by the desire to increase the company's capitalization and prepare it for future privatization. Moreover, some market participants cautiously stated that the deployment of 3G communications is still premature and all data transmission tasks can be solved using EDGE and GPRS technologies.

In 2013, Ukrtelecom is still the only owner of a 3G license, but over the years it has not been able to deploy a full-fledged network even within Kiev, not to mention other large cities. Other operators cannot obtain a license due to the fact that the necessary radio frequency resource is occupied for the needs of the military, and the frequency conversion procedure has not yet been approved.

At the same time, the introduction of new generation communications has a positive effect on the economy. Thus, according to the GSMA report, a 10% increase in 3G coverage increases GDP, in per capita terms, by 0.15%. This conclusion analysts have made as a result of analysis of 96 developed and emerging markets. For the stagnating economy of Ukraine, the rapid introduction of 3G could become that "magic wand" that would allow at least a little increase in GDP growth.

It is noteworthy that due to the lack of a full-fledged 3G connection based on UMTS and HSPA technology, in Ukraine several providers are quite successful in providing mobile high speed internet using CDMA and Wi-Max technology. Moreover, the introduction of 3G will have an impact on this market, but will not lead to its deformation. The fact is that third-generation communication is not cheap and in order to quickly recoup the costs of its deployment, operators develop it only in places with a high concentration of the population.

At the same time, such players as Freshtel, Intertelecom and PEOPLEnet are niche and provide their services of high-speed mobile Internet in areas where 3G communication will appear very soon. Therefore, in the villages, services of access to the Network from these operators will continue to be in demand. But in cities, after the emergence of 3G-communication UMTS, the outflow of subscribers from niche operators is possible.

Currently, there are four third generation networks in operation in Ukraine. The Ukrainian division of MTS uses an NMT license in the 450 MHz range. The network was deployed using CDMA EV-DO Rev. A in 2007. Some areas also launched CDMA EV-DO Rev. B. In this network, the operator provides exclusively data transmission services.

One of the leaders in 3G in terms of coverage, Intertelecom provides 3G services using EV-DO Rev A technology (license in the 800 MHz range). Two years ago, Intertelecom launched Internet access using EV-DO Rev B technology with a data transfer rate of up to 14.7 Mbit / s.

In addition, 3G Internet is available to subscribers of the "PEOPLEnet" operator, which uses CDMA EV-DO Rev A technology in the 800 MHz frequency range. Well, and the long-suffering mobile division of Ukrtelecom - TriMob, which works with UMTS technology. True, 3G works only in the ten largest cities in the country, but even there the coverage leaves much to be desired.

Examples of current tariffs for mobile Internet in 2013 in Ukraine. Prices are indicated in rubles at the exchange rate of 4 rubles per hryvnia, excluding the 7.5% fee on the cost of the service to the Pension Fund of Ukraine.

At the same time, I would like to note a huge number of wi-fi points with free access in Kiev, Donetsk, Kharkov and Lvov. In many ways, this became possible thanks to last year's European Football Championship. In preparation for this event, about 300 free hotspots were installed in cities. These networks are called "wi-fi ua (free)". Points are available in historic sites, train stations and airports. In addition, there is a separate free outlet in almost every cafe or restaurant.

The Ukrainian mobile communications market turned out to be insanely interesting in terms of intrigue and politics. Certain features contradict logic, but Ukraine would not be Ukraine without it.

First, the CDMA and Wi-Max standards are still in demand and flourishing in the country. This is due to the lack of 3G licenses for GSM operators. For the same reason, mobile Internet at acceptable speeds can be obtained only in the networks of CDMA operators. The only operator with a 3G license is not involved in infrastructure development due to chronic underfunding. At the same time, the state has been inactive for 8 years.

Instructions

To make a call to a Ukrainian mobile phone, dial the number in the international format: +38, where 38 is international telephone code Ukraine. Three digits after 38 - mean the code of the mobile operator of Ukraine. Next, dial the subscriber number itself.

Each Ukrainian operator, respectively, has its own code: 039- Golden Telecom, 063, 093 - Life, 066, 095, 068- Beeline, 092- PEOPLEnet, 094- Intertelecom. Codes for calls to Kyivstar: 067, 096, 097 - Djuice, 098 - Mobile. MTS operator codes: 050, 095, 066 - Jeans, 099 - Jeans, Ecotel.

So, in order to get from a mobile to Ukraine, press +, then dial 38, then the code of the Ukrainian operator, for example, 067 - Kyivstar and - the number itself. It looks like this: + 38067YYYNNN1 - call button - given mobile number Kyivstar. However, the number itself is not used separately from the code.

To call from the phone, you need to know not only the subscriber's number, but also the one to which it is being made. Dial the exit code for, wait for the dial tone, then dial the international access code - 38067YYYNNN1. Thus, for calls to Ukraine from Russia, the dialing scheme is as follows: 8 - (dial tone) - 00 -38067YYYNNN1.

Pay special attention to the fact that there are codes 070, 0703, 090, 0 900 in Ukraine. These are by no means the codes of Ukrainian operators. These are paid numbers of both reputable companies providing consulting services (the cost of a call is always present next to the phone number), and all kinds of fraudsters. Numbers 090, 0 900 are night lotteries, online voting, recordings on reality shows. Calling these numbers will leak pretty large sum, so you should think carefully before calling such a number.

Calls from Russia to Ukraine, since 2000, have been made in an international format. If before it was enough to dial the area code after the eight and a dial tone, now you also need a prefix for international calls and a country code.

You will need

• - mobile or landline phone or computer with Internet access and Scype program or similar;
• - sufficient funds to pay for the call (except for calls from a landline phone);
• - card of prepaid international and long-distance calls (optional);
• - country code (38), city or mobile operator and subscriber number.

Instructions

If you are calling from a landline, dial the eight and wait for the dial tone, then dial "10".
When calling from a number, instead of eight and ten, press the plus (+) key and then immediately, without waiting for a dial tone, dial. The option of dialing 8-10 is also possible - the country code. When you are in the far abroad, instead of the combination 8-10, they usually dial "00". The + key on your mobile phone has the desired effect when calling from any country. The combination "+" and the country code is also used in Skype.

When using prepaid, dial the number on it, enter the card code (located under the protective layer, which must first be erased), then follow the instructions of the autoinformer. If you are calling from a phone, you usually need it from pulse to tone mode.

Then the following combination of numbers is used: Ukraine code 38, city or mobile operator code and subscriber's number. If we hear short beeps, pause and repeat the call. For long ones, we wait for an answer and start a conversation. If the subscriber does not answer, we will call back later.

When using a telephone card, you can also call the operator, dictate to him the card number, country and city or the mobile operator code and the phone number of the subscriber. If you call from the post office, there are two options. First, you pay the operator an advance or insert a payment card into the pay phone (you can usually buy it from the operator of the post office, at newsstands, etc.), then the whole procedure is the same as when calling from a landline phone: 8- beep -10- 38- city code or cellular operator - subscriber's number. Alternative: dictate to the operator the country and city or the cellular provider code and subscriber's number, pay the required number of minutes and wait until they establish a connection and invite you to a conversation booth.

The international code of Ukraine is 38.

Helpful advice

Calls using prepaid cards of alternative long-distance and international operators are cheaper than direct calls from a landline and especially mobile phone.

When you call through such an operator from a mobile phone, the cost of a local connection with the operator's city number will be written off from your personal account.

International calls to mobile phones are more expensive than landlines.

To get through to Kiev, you need to find out several digital codes. These can be codes of Ukraine, city, access to the dedicated telephone line other. Depending on which dialing method you choose, the general combination of numbers will change.

Instructions

When calling from home phone dial 8 and wait for a long beep. After that, press 10 - the international access code, and then the code of Ukraine 380 and Kiev - 44. Next, there should be seven digits of the city phone number. IN general view the set number will look like this: 8-10-380-44-XXX-XX-XX.

If you need to dial a number from a mobile, the first two digits in this sequence (8 and 10) can be skipped. You just have to press +38044 and the subscriber's number. The entire combination is dialed in a row, there is no need to wait for dial tone.

When trying to call Kiev from another city in Ukraine, the country code is not needed. However, its last digit must be placed before the area code - it provides access to a long-distance line. That is, you need to dial 044 and the landline number.

If you are not satisfied with the cost or quality of international calls when making a call from your home phone, buy a phone card. After examining the rates of different companies, you can find the most profitable one. To make a call at the selected price, put your phone in tone dialing mode. On the card, erase the cover that hides the pin code. Following the instructions on the back of the card, dial the access number, enter the pin code, and then the Kiev number. Depending on the type of card, you may need to put additional characters (# or *) before or after the number.

A call can be made without the aid of a telephone set, if you and the person you want to call have a computer, microphone and headphones. Download the program for free voice communication (for example, it is possible in Mail.ru Agent and Skype) and call the subscriber's computer. The quality of such a connection depends on the speed of the Internet connection.

Using Skype, you can call not only a computer, but also any Kiev number (except for call numbers emergency). Such a call will no longer be free. After registering in Skype, go to the program website, select the "Options" section, and in it - "Calls". Choose the tariff and payment method that suits you. After depositing money into the account, you can call. Open the program window. Click on the "Dial the number" button, select the icon with the signature "Ukraine" and dial the number taking into account the country and Kiev codes.

Many Russians, especially those who happened to live in the Soviet Union, still do not perceive the former republics as separate states. This is one of the reasons why dialing a Ukrainian number is sometimes difficult. In this case, you must follow the same algorithm as when calling any foreign subscriber.

You will need

• - mobile or landline phone;
• - tables of codes of states and cities.

Instructions

When calling any locality in Ukraine from a landline phone located in Russia, you must first of all go to a long-distance line. Pick up the handset. You probably know if you have a digital PBX or not. In the second case, wait for a long beep. Dial "8" in the same way as you do when calling another Russian city.

The next stage is going to the international line. For Ukraine, the exit code is the same as for any other country. Dial "10".

Each country has its own dialing code. You can find it in the general list. For example, for Russia it is "7", which you usually dial when calling a Russian subscriber on a mobile phone. It also applies to landline phone users. Dial 38. This is the code of Ukraine.

Dial the area code. Any telephone number Ukraine together with the code consists of ten digits. If the subscriber lives in Kiev, then he has a seven-digit number, and the code must be three-digit. In most cities of Ukraine, both codes and numbers consist of five digits. Thus, the order can be represented as the following algorithm: "8" - "10" - "38" - "area code" - "subscriber number".

When calling from a landline phone to a mobile phone, the dialing procedure will be slightly different. As in the previous case, get out on the long distance and international line. Dial the code of Ukraine. You do not need a city code in this situation. You just dial your ten-digit mobile phone number. If you are calling from a mobile phone to a landline phone, you will have to go through the entire procedure described in the previous steps.

listen, smart guy! firstly, none of the operators have a tariff on the fact of use, and everywhere there is a monthly fee (this is not normal), and secondly, there are no tariffs where there will be only calls, everywhere they feed 3ji, SMS, unlimited Facebooks and other dregs to bend more payment, thirdly, there are no tariffs for unprotected segments of the population, 50-60 hryvnia to pay grandmothers and just people who call 5 times a month for a minute is too much! fourthly, all operators have carbon-copy tariffs that have a conspiracy. 5) block the process of changing the operator as much as possible while maintaining the number. 6). you buy a tariff and there is no minimum period for its validity, that is, tomorrow they will bite something in the boss and they are good if they send an SMS and present it with a fact. 7) my life tariff for 4 and a half months 15-16 years forcibly changed from 10 UAH (purely unlimited for life, zero other) to 15 UAH (purely unlimited), then 29 UAH (something added SMS and a little 3 ji) , then 49 (full SMS package, 3ji, unlimited, minutes for others), then 69 (super full package). is this normal ??? firstly, they slyly imposed on me all the products that I did not use and were not interested in. that is, from the client, the headings "conversations" were given no alternative to the heading "smart people", despite the fact that for the duration of the tariff 69, their lineup included current tariffs 35-40-50 UAH, etc. how to call it if not a scam? Yes, I could switch from 69 UAH to 35 UAH of the monthly fee, but already for a fee of 30 UAH on my own initiative! and write-offs for muddy self-connecting services and daily fees is this the norm? My tariff, for example, is 65 UAH, if I haven't paid, then it removes 5 UAH per day (that is, 150 per month). this is a normal markup ???? - a maximum of 35% should be if the company is not hit by anything. in the package, for example, the Internet has ended, and everything else is there, I buy a gigabyte one-time for twenty, and they automatically turn on this service for life, and the next time you replenish the number with your monthly fee, you will find out that the package did not turn on because the twenty left for additional Internet. So just a minute, give me the package of services itself, I will use them up, and only then I will order this gig again if necessary, or maybe I will not order it (my business). packages in which by default digging is included for 7 days for free, and hell knows what else is included. a person bought himself a tariff and then finds out that it was necessary to panic to find out about everything connected and disconnect on the very first day, so that he would not be taken! You are here writing about "years of freebies", for a minute, but I wasn't asking them for this freebie? They bet themselves, counted on something, and they certainly did not work at a loss. once calls and sms will generally crack, and wi-fi will be around the world, people will communicate in applications and special programs, so now? I now have 3 operators, and so many (for a family, a worker, a draft, etc.), and this is no longer a pack of cigarettes, but two hundred. and I don't need 3 Ji everywhere and a lot of other junk, which you can't even send to anyone by paying, it just burns out. here and the indignation is already legitimate. if I use 30 hryvnia, then it should be 30, for me on some numbers and ten minutes a month in hryvnia is enough, but for the sake of 0 minutes paying 69 is ridiculous !!! throw it in the trash bin! the number is just a pity, many people know, and somehow unexpectedly the operators came to an agreement. earlier, the same life knocked down the lafa to all competitors by removing the connection fee, giving unlimited access to the network, etc., but after the sale to the Akhmetovs, everyone sang very much, and the subscribers were not legally protected in any way (naturally, the same operators lobbied this scheme) are not responsible for anything!

A few years ago, it was difficult not only to remember the operator code, but in general its name. It was popular to create not new tariffs, but a separate type of offers that had their own subscription plans. So over time appeared:

• Ace & Base, Djuice, Mobilich, Beeline;
• Jeans, SIM-SIM, MTS;
• Life :), Moby and others.

All of these operators were regarded as separate offers for certain segments of the population. However, the population would prefer something of the same quality.

And now, many people want to unite and use only one code of mobile operators in Ukraine, which, in principle, is impossible due to various financial and other issues. This worries almost everyone through a large number of operator codes, which are difficult for some to remember, as a result of which significant amounts of money are lost from the account when making calls. However, it is enough just to learn or just print a plate where all the codes of Ukrainian mobile operators will be placed. The Maanimo editors will be happy to provide it to you in this article, and you will know who is calling.

Brief information about the operators of Ukraine

Before figuring out which codes of mobile operators exist in Ukraine in 2019, you must first familiarize yourself with the information about companies that provide communication services to the population.

One of the first mobile operators on the territory of Ukraine was UMC, which has undergone several major changes over the years. So the company twice re-branded the network, after which it was called MTS, and the current name is Vodafone. For all the time of work, subscribers are characterized as an excellent operator with good conditions and quality of communication.

The next company that launched its brand was Kyivstar - a national operator covering a large number of cities and towns thanks to constant development mobile networks... This brand is actively involved in many investment projects, improving and developing its network for quality use.

There are also admirers of communications from Intertelecom and Ukrtelecom, but they are preferred by an insignificant part of subscribers. In total, Kyivstar is used most of all - about 42%, Vodafone - about 40%, Lifecell - up to 10%, and the remaining 8% falls on other operators.

In general, the code and number provide excellent protection against unnecessary calls, except for confusion with some of the first digits. That is why it is worth knowing and remembering all the codes in order to avoid confusion and loss of money.

All codes of operators in Ukraine are more or less easy to remember, given the fact that now there are only three main ones, to which the other remaining sets of numbers were assigned. Separately, we can recall that the operator code 068 was transferred from the Beeline company, which finished its work and entered Kyivstar.

2. Vodafone;
3. Lifecell;
4. other codes of Ukrainian operators.

The tariffs have been slightly updated, but as practice shows, for the better and with better communication coverage.

On the this moment there are only a few operator codes, but with an increase in the number of subscribers, the company may think about one more. Therefore, now it is worth remembering the following:

1. 050 - is considered one of the very first codes of mobile operators in Ukraine, received at the beginning of cellular communication in the country by the then UMC brand. After the rebranding, it became the main code of the MTS operator, and now Vodafone;

3. 095 - was introduced after the first two and is now quite popular. Earlier, the operator code 095 was intended for UMC and Jeans, and the first began with a number of all digits except 7 and 9, left to the second. According to statistics, 095 is the most used company code;
4. operator code 099 is universal and was planned to be used for all brands that previously represented the UMC group. Since 099 is a rather young operator code, it is actively used in new connections and when switching from old ones.

According to experts, Vodafone now has more than 15 million subscribers, which is an excellent result and demonstration of quality service and coverage.

Operator codes Kyivstar

3. 096 - Kyivstar operator code, which was previously used for Djuice subscribers;
4. 097 is the operator code from which the Djuice brand began its work. Now the code is popular, and often comes across in new starter packages;
5. 098 is the operator's code, which also has excellent popularity and a large number of subscribers.

There are more than 16 million Kyivstar subscribers in total.

Lifecell operator codes

The Lifecell brand was created by the Turkish operator Turkcell, which was previously involved in another name Life :). At the moment, the number of subscribers is about 6-7 million people, most of whom are young people. All this is explained by the convenient and favorable rates aimed at using high-speed internet.

Such an operator is, of course, an excellent option for large cities, and the codes are used as follows:

1. 063 - the first operator code Life. It was with him that the history of the brand began, and the start surpassed all expectations. Operator code 063 is still popular;
2. operator code 093 is used with great success and is available for sale even now.
3. 073 is new code and looks very nice. Initially, the company planned to acquire the 077, but the proprietary use of the troika in the end exceeded many desires, as well as to avoid operator confusion.

Attackers can also post a number with such a code on the job classifieds website, and when you call it, you will be charged a considerable amount.

The operator code 057, which is used to implement a robot promoting various products, also has a bad reputation. Many victims with sales are found on olx.ua, where the trading platform is not limited and has a free basis without special protection. The code is basic for the city of Kharkov.

Some features of the services of Ukrainian operators

An excellent service, which is also inexpensive, and in some cases even free, is the anti-identifier. It allows you to hide the mobile operator code and number from other subscribers of different operators. Very useful for those who are involved in sales, but many people prefer not to pick up the phone from such unknown numbers. Recently, Vodafone began to provide a new service - "Super Caller ID", which will be able to determine the codes of mobile operators and numbers, without exception, even with all the secrecy.

But the most popular service in Ukraine is “Who called?”. It is in great demand, because it allows subscribers to find out about missed calls at a time when the battery in the phone runs out or there is no coverage of the network coverage. This is very convenient, and some operators provide options for SMS replies, for different situations or time of day. But the only thing that unites all companies providing the service "Who called?" - its absolute gratuitousness.

How to find out who called, maybe a person with the coolest smartphone, and a grandmother with a push-button device, because all the information comes through an SMS message, after which you can call the desired subscriber. However, for those who use anti-caller IDs, problems may arise, their number will not be indicated in the message, limited only by the call time and date.

Codes of mobile operators in the world are more varied and the number of license plates, and, as a rule, are rarely remembered by foreigners. They prefer to keep phone books or use the phone memory. Their codes of mobile operators are so confused that the employees of the companies themselves do not always remember what and where it belongs.
