The cost of mobile communication in Ukraine is determined not only by the name of the tariff plan, but also by the conditions under which the subscriber connects it. Porting a number from another operator, the user's age, and the availability of home internet at the registration address all directly affect the final price. As of October 17, 2026, the public offerings of the three largest operators—Vodafone, lifecell, and Kyivstar—show a range from 100 to 500 hryvnias, depending on the package and connection method. Below is a detailed breakdown of current conditions to help you choose the best option without hidden fees.
Vodafone: Combo Package and Contract Terms
Vodafone's flagship offer remains the "GigaCombo" tariff, which combines mobile communication, home internet, and television into a single package. For the first six calendar months, its cost is 250 hryvnias, after which the price is revised to 350 hryvnias per month. Connection is possible exclusively if there is technical feasibility to lay Vodafone home internet at the subscriber's address, which narrows the audience of the offer to specific residential areas. For those who need only mobile traffic without being tied to a home channel, the operator offers "Flexx GO" on a contract: when porting a number from a competitor, the price is 280 hryvnias per calendar month, whereas purchasing a new number costs 350 hryvnias. The basic content includes 25 GB of traffic, 500 minutes of calls, unlimited within the operator's network, and 50 SMS; for the first six months, an additional 25 GB and 500 minutes are added. The "Flexx GO" subscription with a new number without a contract costs 420 hryvnias for a four-week period.
lifecell: "Stop-Price" Promotion and Age Benefits
lifecell offers the "Maxi" tariff at 270 hryvnias for four weeks when porting a number from another operator. For a new number, the cost increases to 500 hryvnias, and for an identified or personalized one—to 450 hryvnias. A key element of the operator's marketing strategy is the "Stop-Price" promotion: subscribers who apply for number porting by December 15, 2026, inclusive, fix the cost of "Maxi" at 270 hryvnias for a four-week period until December 31, 2027. For citizens over 55, the "Zabota" (Care) tariff is available for 190 hryvnias per calendar month, including 20 GB of internet, unlimited calls to lifecell numbers, and 1000 minutes to other Ukrainian numbers; documentation is required to confirm age upon connection. When paying for twelve monthly packages at once, the cost of one drops to 161.50 hryvnias. The most budget-friendly offer in the operator's lineup is "Lifeset S" for 100 hryvnias for four weeks, combining home internet and mobile communication with 10 GB of traffic. However, calling minutes are not included in this package: conversations with subscribers of any Ukrainian operators, including its own, are charged at 2 hryvnias per minute, which means an additional 200 hryvnias after just one hundred minutes of calls.
Kyivstar: Social and Contract Terms
Kyivstar positions the "VSE RAZOM Komfort" (All Together Comfort) tariff for 220 hryvnias per calendar month as a social offer available to citizens over 60, as well as persons with disabilities of groups I–III. The connection is contractual and requires confirmation of age or disability status with appropriate documents. For subscribers porting a number from another operator, "VSE RAZOM Legkiy Kontrakt" (All Together Easy Contract) is provided for 290 hryvnias per calendar month. Special conditions for ported numbers are valid until September 1, 2027; after this date, the operator will apply standard tariff conditions.
What to Consider Before Connecting
When choosing a tariff, it is critically important to consider not only the monthly cost but also the type of connection: contract tariffs are usually cheaper but involve a minimum contract term, while a subscription without obligations costs more. Number porting remains the most effective way to lower the price—across all three operators, it provides a discount of 70 to 230 hryvnias compared to buying a new number. Age and social conditions (55+ for lifecell, 60+ or disability for Kyivstar) require documentary confirmation and fix the price for a long period. Finally, combo packages with home internet are tied to the operator's technical infrastructure in a specific area, so you should check service availability at your address before signing up. Personal discounts, promo codes, and terms of archive tariffs not included in the public lineup may differ from the figures given above.
