As of 2021, there are three main mobile operators in Ukraine: Kyivstar, Vodafone and Lifecell, which fully provide the population with all the necessary services and offer very good tariffs. The abundance of offers and excellent promotions with bonuses only adds to the attractiveness, and high-quality communications already cover the entire territory of Ukraine to a greater extent.

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

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

All of these operators were regarded as separate proposals for certain parts of the population. However, the population would prefer one thing of high quality.

So now, many people want to combine and use only one code of mobile operators in Ukraine, which is basically impossible due to various financial and other issues. This worries almost everyone due to 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’s enough to simply learn or simply print a plate where all the codes of mobile operators in Ukraine will be located. The Maanimo editors will be happy to provide it to you in this article, and you will know who is calling.

Brief information about Ukrainian operators

Before you figure out what mobile operator codes exist in Ukraine in 2021, you need to first familiarize yourself with information about companies that provide communication services to the population.

One of the first mobile operators in Ukraine was UMC, which has undergone several big changes over the years. So the company rebranded the network twice, subsequently being called MTS, and the current name is Vodafone. Over the entire period of operation, it has been characterized by subscribers as an excellent operator with good conditions and quality of communication.

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

Lifecell can be considered a relatively young company. True, it has the latest equipment to ensure excellent communications; it was one of the first in the country to introduce many services and tariffs. For example, 4G Internet.

There are also fans of communications from Intertelecom and Ukrtelecom, but they are preferred by a small part of subscribers. In total, Kyivstar is used most of all - about 42%, Vodafone - about 40%, Lifecell - up to 10%, and the remaining 8% is accounted for by other operators.

Brief conclusion

Each phone number has an identification code, which consists of three digits. These numbers appear after the Ukraine code “+38” and identify the operator that provides the communication service.

During the development of mobile communications, operators merged, “eaten up”, “scattered” and organized rebranding. So, out of many different companies, today, in Ukraine, there are three largest mobile operators: Lifecell, Kyivstar and Vodafone.

By phone number you can determine the operator and the country from which they are calling. By using the landline number you can also find out the city from which the call is being made. But for all this, you need to know the codes (operators and cities).

Ukrainian mobile operator codes

In general, cellular operator codes are a three-digit special identifier that relates to a specific network and company providing communication services to the population. Overall, the code and number provide excellent protection against unwanted 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 operator codes 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 completed its work and entered Kyivstar.

Therefore, it is best to divide telephone operator codes into four categories:

1. Kyivstar;
2. Vodafone;
3. Lifecell;
4. other operator codes of Ukraine.

Vodafone operator codes

Without exception, all Vodafone (MTS Ukraine) operator codes remained the same, as did the owner. The changed name Vodafone represents the famous European operator, using the ideas and the entire organization of the work of this company. Tariffs have been updated somewhat, but as practice shows, for the better and with better communication coverage.

At the moment there are only a few operator codes, but as the number of subscribers increases, the company may think about one more. So now it’s worth remembering these:

1. 050 is considered one of the very first codes of mobile operators in Ukraine, received at the beginning of the work of cellular communications in the country by the then UMC brand. After rebranding, it became the main code of the MTS operator, and now Vodafone;
2. 066 is an operator code that began to be used in Jeans numbers. The creation of this operator was aimed mainly at young people, with corresponding tariffs and services. Nowadays, operator code 066 is practically not used in new packages, with the exception of VIP numbers;
3. 095 – was introduced after the first two and is now quite popular. Previously, the operator code 095 was intended for UMC and Jeans, and the first began with a number consisting 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 fairly new 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 a demonstration of quality services and coverage.

Kyivstar operator codes

Kyivstar is a very popular company and probably everyone knows the codes that apply to it.

The only unknown can be called 039 - presented for the Golden Telecom brand, which did not exist for a long time. The main codes of the Kyivstar operator are:

1. 067 is one of the very first mobile operator codes in Ukraine, and is also considered to be in the forefront in terms of the number of subscribers. Today, it is used mainly to connect new users, concluding an agreement on a contract basis;
2. operator code 068 is the former Beeline operator code, however, without the possibility of new connections. At least for now;
3. 096 – Kyivstar operator code, which was previously used for Djuice subscribers;
4. 097 is the operator code with which the Djuice brand began its work. Now the code is popular, and is often found in new starter packages;
5. 098 is an operator code that also has excellent popularity and a large number of subscribers.

In total, Kyivstar subscribers number more than 16 million.

Is it possible to find out who called by phone number?

There are a large number of online sources where information is stored and updated regarding the mobile number of each subscriber, as well as landline numbers. By visiting such a service, you can figure out which phone number is dangerous (fraudulent), whose numbers are blacklisted, and which belong to ordinary users.

There are sites where you can leave a review regarding a specific number. Thus, mobile phones, for example, of collectors or scammers, can be identified by reading reviews on such a site (regardless of which operators they use, Kyivstar or Life, or whether they have a mobile or landline number).

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 convenient and favorable tariffs aimed at using high-speed Internet.

This operator is certainly an excellent option for large cities, and the codes used are as follows:

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

Codes of other mobile operators

Taking advantage of all the positive aspects: bonuses, promotions, advantageous offers and tariffs, people choose not only the popular Kyivstar, Lifecell, Vodafone, but also often prefer other unknown operators. Codes of cellular operators, which will always cause certain questions or indignation. All this is solely because of the best offers, albeit related to certain services: Internet, 3G Internet or various calls. Therefore, there are also such codes for mobile operators:

• operator code 091 – belongs to the Trimob operator from the Ukrtelecom company and is intended for the use of high-quality 3G Internet;
• 092 is PeopleNet, which is also used mainly for the Internet;
• operator code 094 - belongs to Intertelecom, which has long been trying to create competition for the three main Ukrainian operators, but so far has been unsuccessful. 094 operator code is new and practically unknown at the moment;
• 070, 080, 090 - such codes of Ukrainian operators have not yet been assigned to any individual provider, but they may soon become someone’s for a tidy sum of money. For now, only it can be used by scammers for various frauds.

Also, an excellent trick for many can be the operator code 056, which, as many will think, does not refer to new operator codes, but in fact to the city of Dnepr.

056 is the operator code for “special problems”, as it is popularly called, because scammers can call from it very often, even at night, drop the call, and when they try to call back, large sums of money will be withdrawn. Also, attackers can post a number with such a code on a job advertisement site, and when you call it, you will be charged a considerable amount.

Operator code 057, which is used to introduce 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 protections. The code is basic for the city of Kharkov.

A separate group of cellular operator codes can be identified as landline ones:

Some features of the services of Ukrainian operators

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

But the more popular service in Ukraine is “Who called?”. It is in great demand because it allows subscribers to find out about missed calls when the phone’s battery is low or there is no network coverage. This is very convenient, and some operators provide SMS response options for different situations or times of day. But the only thing that unites all companies providing the “Who called?” service. – its absolutely free.

Both a person with a cool smartphone and a grandmother with a push-button device can find out who called, because all the information comes via SMS, after which you can call the desired subscriber back. However, for those who use anti-caller ID, problems may arise; their number will not be included in the message, limited only to the time of the call and the date.

Codes of mobile operators around the world are characterized by greater variability 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's memory. Their mobile operator codes are so confusing that company employees themselves don’t always remember what goes where.
