Ukraine offers more than 100 travel eSIM providers and more than 3, 900 prepaid data plans, giving travelers a wide variety of options to choose from.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Ukraine?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Ukraine are available from several providers. MicroEsim, Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Roamify, Truely, Yesim and Airhub all offer plans that let you use any amount of data within the validity period. All of them include tethering support, but the speed can be limited or throttled; for instance, Yoho Mobile and abesteSIM impose a 5 Mbps cap and the other plans note possible throttling. The cost ranges from as low as $2.92 for a one‑day MicroEsim plan up to $64.92 for a twenty‑day abesteSIM plan, with Airhub’s single ten‑day plan priced at $16.50. Validity can run from one day to thirty days, depending on the provider and specific plan.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Ukraine?

Ukraine's mobile telecommunications landscape is primarily served by three major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Kyivstar: The largest mobile operator in Ukraine, offering a comprehensive range of services, including 2G, 3G, and 4G (LTE) data services, as well as fixed broadband internet.
Vodafone Ukraine: The second-largest operator, providing a wide array of communication services, including 2G, 3G, and 4G data services, mobile voice communications, messaging, fixed internet, and mobile TV.
Lifecell: The third-largest operator, offering mobile phone services and related goods, with coverage extending to 98.82% of Ukrainian inhabited territory.

In addition to these MNOs, Ukraine has Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that provide mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. For example, Intertelecom transitioned to operate as an MVNO after shutting down its CDMA2000 network in January 2025. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Ukraine?

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS service for Ukraine are offered by GlobaleSIM and Roamify. GlobaleSIM sells a range of packages from 1GB to 20GB, priced from $4.00 for a 7‑day, 1GB option up to $12.00 for a 30‑day, 20GB option, while Roamify provides a 20GB plan for $35.00 and a higher‑capacity 20GB, 365‑day plan for $105.00. Telephony on these plans uses the US dialing code +1; voice calls are inbound and outbound and SMS reception is available (Roamify’s Ukraine plan also allows outbound SMS and offers a phone number with the French code +33).

Neither provider supplies a local Ukrainian number (the Ukrainian country code is +380). Instead, the phone numbers are issued from other countries, so calls or texts to or from genuine Ukrainian numbers may incur additional charges for the counterpart. Travelers who need data only can use the same eSIMs, and they can make calls or send messages over data via VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage.
