There are roughly 110 travel eSIM brands available for use in Ukraine, and about 4, 200 prepaid data plans. The extensive selection provides a wide variety of options, making it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Ukraine?

Yes, there are unlimited data eSIM plans for Ukraine from several providers. The plans are offered by MicroEsim, Yoho Mobile, Roamify, abesteSIM, Truely, and Yesim. All of these plans allow tethering, but the speed may be limited or throttled—most of them specify a speed cap of about 5 Mbps, and some simply note that bandwidth can be reduced after a certain threshold. The price for unlimited data ranges from approximately $2.92 USD up to $72.93 USD, depending on the provider and the length of the validity period. For travelers needing a truly unlimited experience, reviewing the individual terms on each provider’s page will help decide which plan offers the best balance of coverage, speed, and cost.

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 eSIMs with a phone number and SMS capability are available for Ukraine from GlobaleSIM and Roamify. The phone numbers that these providers assign use overseas dialing codes, primarily +1 for the United States and +33 for France, so they are not local Ukraine numbers. These plans allow inbound and outbound voice calls, and either inbound SMS only (as with most GlobaleSIM Ukraine plans) or both inbound and outbound SMS (as with several Roamify plans). Prices start around $4 for a 1 GB, 7‑day plan and grow to roughly $35 for a 20 GB, 30‑day plan, while validity periods range from 7 to 30 days for these options. Travelers who require a local Ukrainian number can instead use data‑only eSIMs and rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp or Telegram for voice and text communications.
