English
An eSIM for Ukraine is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Every plan here uses more than one partner network. Your phone joins one when you arrive and can switch to another if the signal weakens.
If you stay longer, top up your current plan with more data. You do not need to buy a new one.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, see virtual numbers.
Ukraine eSIM on Kyivstar, Vodafone, and lifecell
Mobile data for a family visit or a work trip, as a day pass or fixed data. Each Ukraine plan starts its term at the first connection in Ukraine.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Ukraine: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.
How to get mobile data in Ukraine
Set it up at home the night before. Your eSIM waits quietly until you arrive.
Pick eSIM plan
Choose how long you are there. The day pass is billed per day, so the term is yours to set.
Pay, then scan
Charged from your balance, which you top up with crypto. Your QR code is in your dashboard once the order is paid.
Turn it on when you arrive
Turn on data roaming for your SIMAREA plan when you arrive, and it joins a partner network.
What to know about an eSIM for Ukraine
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
More than one network
Every plan here lists more than one partner network. If one gets weak, your phone can switch to another.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Keep using the same eSIM
Staying longer? Top up the same plan with more data from your dashboard. No need for a new QR code.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Ukraine eSIM: three networks on each plan
A Ukraine eSIM gives you mobile data on Kyivstar, Vodafone, and lifecell. All seven plans list all three, and they run on 3G and 4G. No plan or wider list marks 5G on these networks in Ukraine.
Terms run from 7 days (1 GB) through 15 days (3 GB) to 30 days (3, 5, 10, or 20 GB). On the day pass, speed is full for the first 1 GB each day and 512 Kbps after that, until the day resets. A top-up on any plan adds data; the term doesn't move.
Each plan lists three exits: France, the Netherlands, and the UK. A site sees an address in one of them, not a Ukrainian one.
Which wider plans keep Vodafone in Ukraine
Europe eSIM plans on three of its lists, and Global 130, also name Ukraine. Vodafone stays on only one of them:
- 35-country plans: Kyivstar, Vodafone, and lifecell, with the same three exits as the Ukraine plans. The longest terms are 50 GB for 90 days and 100 GB for 180 days.
- 34-country plans: Kyivstar and lifecell, with an exit in the UK or Norway. The longest terms are 20 GB for 90 days and 50 GB for 180 days.
- 41-country plans: Kyivstar and lifecell, with the same UK or Norway exit. They include a day pass that drops to 384 Kbps after its daily 1 GB.
- Global 130: Kyivstar and lifecell, again through the UK or Norway, with terms up to 1 GB for 365 days.
The other Europe plans don't name Ukraine.
Ukraine with Poland, Romania, or Moldova
A Ukraine plan names Ukraine alone. Poland, Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia share the 34-, 35-, and 41-country lists with it, and Global 130 too, so any of those can carry the whole route.
Moldova is the narrow case: among the Europe lists it's named only on the 35-country one, and Global 130 is the other option. Separate eSIMs work as well: this one for Ukraine, plus a Poland, Romania, or Moldova plan.
Questions about a Ukraine eSIM
Is the Ukraine day pass unlimited?
Its full-speed part stops at 1 GB each day. From there to the day's reset, the eSIM runs at 512 Kbps.
Does the eSIM include a +380 number?
No. It's data only, so it has no number, calls, or SMS, and your own SIM keeps your number. For a rental that keeps receiving SMS, see virtual numbers, a separate purchase.
Will sites see a Ukrainian IP address?
No. On the Ukraine plans and the 35-country plans, the address is in France, the Netherlands, or the UK. On the 34- and 41-country plans and Global 130, it's in the UK or Norway.
How do I stay past 30 days?
A top-up won't do it, because it adds data, not days. Buy another Ukraine plan when the term ends, or choose a wider plan with a longer term, such as the 35-country plan with 50 GB for 90 days.
Can I install it before my trip?
Yes. Each Ukraine plan starts at its first connection in Ukraine and, unused, stays valid for 180 days. Once it's installed or used, it can't be refunded; before that, you can ask within 30 days of purchase.
