How to call Ukraine on a mobile phone in different ways?

Codes and dialing order

Today there are 6 operators in Ukraine.
Three of them operate in the GSM range: Kyivstar, MTS and Life. Only TRIMOB has 3G coverage in all regions of the country (this is another operator). Well, there are only two CDMA operators: Intertelecom and PeopleNet. The code for a mobile phone to Ukraine, in any case, begins with the country code, which in this case is: +380. The symbol “+” means that the call will be international, and 380 is the code of Ukraine. After this, the operator code is entered. Operator numbers are given in the table.

From landline to mobile

First, let's figure out how to call Ukraine on a mobile phone from a landline phone. The previously mentioned “+” symbol does not work on stationary devices. Therefore, to make an international call, you need to dial the code 810. Then we wait for long beeps on the phone - this means that we have gained access to the line for making international calls. Next, dial the country code - 380. Then dial the operator code and the seven-digit number of the called subscriber. For example, a call to an Intertelecom subscriber number requires dialing the following sequence of numbers: 810 (international line access) – 380 (Ukraine code in international format) – 94 (operator code) – xxxxxxxx (seven-digit subscriber number).

Ukrainian mobile operators and their numbers

The total number of Vodafone IDs are assigned to them and are considered valid at the moment. Since the time the name of the company changed (previously it was MTS), both the operating principle and the capabilities of the mobile operator have changed. The list of tariffs has acquired decent services, the Internet has improved, and the audience has noticeably expanded. Also praiseworthy is the communication coverage, which has improved noticeably.

Currently, the mobile operator has several functioning identifiers, but the development team is working on additional code. Available ones include:

1. “099” is one of the most common codes, which was intended to work with all brands of the older UMC organization. Of course, the identifier is quite young, but this does not hinder its popularity.
2. “066” is a representative of ancient identifiers, which began its existence in the 2000s under the leadership of. The story goes that the communication line was designed mainly for the younger generation, since at that time the starter packages had fashionable options.
3. “095” is also one of the most popular codes that appeared in the early 2000s. It was aimed at raising the ratings of the initial organizations Jeans and UMS, but the companies were soon closed.
4. “050” is the oldest and most famous company identifier at the moment. He was a pioneer in UMC and was distinguished by the fact that at that time he introduced many convenient services (anniversary package, Christmas package, etc.)

The next most famous organization is Kyivstar. One of the most famous codes is the combination “039”, as it appeared earlier than the others. The rest include:

1. "096" is the first decent identifier to appear in the Dijus division.
2. “098” is an equally popular combination that includes a huge customer base.
3. “097” is the second identifier used by the Dijus subsidiary. At the moment it is widely known throughout the country.
4. “068” was previously a code belonging to Beeline, and is currently included in the list of Kyivstar property. A shutdown is expected soon.
5. “067” is the very first and most popular code of the Kyivstar company, which has collected a huge customer base in Ukraine. Currently, it provides contracts with special conditions for new users.

The next telecom operator is the youngest and most promising. Refers to the Turkish Cellular Telecommunications Organization. Currently, the client audience numbers over 8 million people. The ranks consist mainly of the younger generation. This result was achieved thanks to interesting conditions and favorable rates. Mobile communications have the following codes:

1. “063” - The oldest company identifier (at that time it was Life). Thanks to the identifier, as well as very favorable tariffs, the mobile organization was promoted. At the moment, the combination is the most popular among the others.
2. “073” is a young and promising identifier that should have looked different (077). However, later, in order to avoid unwanted errors, the decision was revised.
3. “093” is the second most popular identifier, which has considerable success. It is still sold to this day in any mobile service.

From mobile to mobile

Now let’s figure out how to call Ukraine on a mobile phone from a mobile phone. In this case, the dialing algorithm becomes much simpler. Instead of 810, dial “+” (access to an international line). Next, the country number is dialed, which, as in the previous case, is 380. This is followed by the operator code and the number of the called subscriber. For example, to make a call to a Kyivstar subscriber with code 39, you need to dial the following combination: +38039ХХХХХХХ (the last 7 digits are the number of the called subscriber). After you finish dialing, you must remember to press the call button on your mobile phone or smartphone (it has a green handset on it).

Prepaid cards

Calls to other countries can be made using prepaid cards. To make a conversation using such a card you must:

• Buy a card;
• Using a coin, erase the protective layer from it where the code is hidden;
• Call the phone number indicated on the card;
• Follow the operator's voice instructions.

When purchasing such a card, first of all pay attention to the region and its validity period. In addition, in some cases there may be other rules for using the card, so you should familiarize yourself with them before purchasing.

We use Skype

You can also call Ukraine on a mobile phone using specialized programs, for example, Skype. In this case, the algorithm for making a call is as follows:

• We log into Skype using your username and password (if you do not have such an account, you must first register in this system) on a computer that is connected to the Internet.
• Find the dialing icon and click on it with the pointer of the manipulator.
• In the panel that opens, dial the subscriber’s phone number in international format. That is, exactly the same as in the previous case.
• Finally, press the call button with the handset.

Don't forget that to make a call you must have a certain amount of money in your account. Therefore, before making a call, we check the account status and, if necessary, top it up. The same condition applies to making a call abroad from a mobile phone. But landline phones do not have this disadvantage. As a rule, services are provided in advance, but the bill for services still arrives at the end of the month. So you will still have to pay for previously provided services. The only difference is that in the first case (call from a landline) payment will be on credit, and in the other two cases - on prepayment.

Mobile operators of Ukraine and 3G Internet

When going on a trip, you should think about mobile communications. After all, while on vacation, especially abroad, you will definitely want to call your loved ones and share your impressions. And if necessary, your family will be able to quickly contact you.

In addition, a telephone will be very useful to you in order to call a hotel, a ticket booking service or simply to order a local taxi.

Perhaps you also have friends or relatives in Ukraine with whom you want to see, and there will be an urgent need for mobile communications.

Roaming: pros and cons

First of all, you should check the roaming capabilities of your operator. This type of communication, although expensive, has a number of advantages:

1. Your number, known to all relatives and friends, will be saved;

2. You don’t have to waste time searching and buying a card in an unfamiliar country;

3. The person calling you will not suspect that you are abroad, since the amount will be debited from his account, as for a regular call within the country. This will keep your trip confidential.

National operators of Belarus and Russia, as a rule, provide Ukrainian roaming services. However, here it is worth considering one condition: unlimited international roaming is provided only to contract subscribers. Prepaid SIM card users are limited in the number of countries available for roaming, and communication for them is one-way, meaning you can only receive messages and calls. And contract workers can additionally call and send SMS from abroad.

In this regard, prepaid subscribers, as well as those who want to save on communications, albeit with a different number, are better off thinking about another communication option.

Buying a SIM card in Ukraine

The easiest and cheapest way for a tourist is to buy a local Ukrainian card. You can buy a prepaid package at any mobile phone store, at card sales points on the street or at cash desks in shopping centers. A passport is not required to purchase a prepaid SIM card. All you need to do is buy a starter pack, insert a SIM card into your phone and top up your account to be able to make calls within Ukraine. By the way, you can top up your account at places where starter packages are sold or at electronic terminals, which are available in all cities of Ukraine. They are usually installed in shops and shopping centers on the central streets of the city.

Despite the apparent diversity of mobile operators in Ukraine, the top three stand out, one of which is worth choosing. It makes no sense to consider the rest, since symbolic coverage does not allow for high-quality communication.

1. "MTS"

is a market leader offering excellent communication quality and the greatest coverage.

The company provides prepaid tariffs that are favorable for travelers. Among which it is worth noting the “Tourist” package specially designed for guests of the country.

"Tourist from MTS"

makes it possible to call both from Ukraine and within the country at the most affordable price. The starter package costs only about $6.3, of which approximately $4 is credited to your account.

The cost of calls on the network, as well as to Russia to landline numbers, is $0.02, to Russian mobile phones – $0.09. Calls to Belarus – $0.38. A nice bonus in this package is mobile Internet - 1 MB per day for $0.02.

2. "Kyivstar" -

the second Ukrainian leader in mobile communications. Good coverage and connection quality. In different cities and regions of the country, it is better to “catch” either “Kyivstar” or “MTS” alternately. Resourceful Ukrainians are increasingly using both cards for calls at the same time, buying phones with 2 cards.

Tariff plan “Super Tourist”

from Kyivstar will appeal to vacationers from Russia. Calls to landline numbers in this country, as well as to the mobile operator “Beeline” – $0.01. To numbers of other Russian subscribers – about $0.12. Calls to Belarus, as well as to Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and many European countries - $0.25.

The only disadvantage of using Kyivstar is the replenishment fee. While MTS and Life can be topped up absolutely free via the Internet and in communication stores.

3. «Life"

is a company from Turkey that is growing rapidly. The packages are actively used by young people due to budget communication tariffs. Coverage across the country is expanding. However, so far it is “catching” mainly in large cities. In regions and remote places, for example, at sea, in the mountains, or on local trains, it is almost impossible to call from Life. This operator also has a special tariff for tourists.

Tariff plan “International life”

makes it possible to call abroad for 1.5 cents to landline numbers, and $0.09 to mobile numbers. At the same time, calls within the network within Ukraine are made free of charge.

Purchasing a national SIM card makes it possible to call throughout Ukraine at a single rate. Calls within the network are usually free. It should also be noted that when making calls abroad, a one-time connection fee is charged, which does not exceed $0.10.

Recommendations

If you need to make a call to a mobile phone in Ukraine, then it is best to use special programs for these purposes (for example, Skype). In this case, the tariffs are much lower, and the dialing procedure is quite simple. The only drawback that appears in this case is the presence of an Internet connection on the computer. If this method does not suit you, then you can make a call from a mobile phone, but its cost will be significantly higher. Well, if the previous two methods do not suit you, then you can use a landline telephone for these purposes. Only in this case the cost of a minute of conversation will be even higher.

Calls from other countries

We looked at ways to dial Ukrainian numbers from Russia. But the guidance for calls to Ukraine from other countries differs in one point - a changed prefix for accessing international calls. In a huge number of countries it is the same, and in some it is unique. Below in the article there will be a link to the current codes. Thus, the number entry scheme is slightly transformed:

Results

This article describes three main ways to call Ukraine on a mobile phone. It will be easier and cheaper to do this using a computer connected to the Internet. Also, special software must be pre-installed on the PC. You can just as easily make a similar call using a mobile phone. But at the same time, the cost of one minute of telephone conversation will increase significantly. Well, the most expensive option is to make a call from a landline phone.

Instructions

Call to Ukraine from Russia from Beeline: price and tariffs

Calls to Ukraine are not available on all Beeline service packages. Tariffs at which the option can be activated:

• "Welcome";
• "All is mine";
• "All in one".

The convenience of these service packages is that the ability to make a call to Ukraine from Russia is activated automatically if the number has a positive balance. Payment for mobile communications with Kyivstar subscribers is 3 rubles/min, for other operators - 20 rubles/min. Payment is charged upon completion of the call. This option does not require a subscription or connection fee.

Calls via IP telephony

IP telephony is a method of communicating with another subscriber through a device with Internet access. Often a computer is used for this. There are many services through which you can contact a user in another country. Most often, this method is used in a business environment - mainly in offices for the purpose of significant savings. Such an international call may cost less than in the case of cellular communications, but since such calls are charged in dollars, due to the difference in the exchange rate, it will be more profitable to use the services of your operator. For physical individuals also have cheap options for using telephony. One of the available providers Zadarma.

IP telephony is offered by Skype, Viber and WhatsApp, but tariffs may also be higher than those of mobile operators.
