There are more than 170 travel eSIM providers and more than 10, 300 prepaid data plans available for use in Ukraine, giving travelers a wide variety of options to choose from.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Ukraine?

Several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans that can be used in Ukraine, including Yesim, MicroEsim, Roamify, Earth Esim, Truely, abesteSIM, and Ohayu. These plans typically allow tethering, are available for validity periods from 1 to 30 days, and have prices ranging from about $2.90 to $80.00 USD. While the data allowance is unlimited, many plans include speed throttling; for example, Earth Esim limits maximum speed to 5 to 10 Mbps and Ohayu limits it to 1 Mbps. Travelers can review the specific speed and tethering details to select a plan that meets their needs.

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?

Yes, Airhub supplies travel eSIMs that come with a local Ukraine phone number. The plans use the Ukrainian dialing code +380, provide inbound and outbound voice calls, as well as inbound and outbound SMS, and have three data options – 20GB, 50GB, and 100GB – all valid for 30 days. Prices start at $30 for the 20GB edition, $54.99 for 50GB, and $69 for 100GB, offering a comprehensive local communications solution during a short stay.

Other providers in the directory offer eSIMs with phone numbers from different dialing codes, such as +1, +33, or +376, which include voice and SMS capabilities but are not local Ukrainian numbers. These foreign-number plans can still be used for contact, but they will appear as non‑local numbers in Ukraine. Data‑only eSIMs are also available; users wishing to make calls or send messages must rely on VoIP applications like WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection, and should confirm that these apps remain accessible in Ukraine before purchasing.
