Making Mobile Calls in Kiev
Visitors to Kiev can buy a mobile phone with a SIM card, or simply put the SIM card into their own phone, and use it for both domestic and international calls. All incoming calls, regardless of operator are for free. Some services are better than others.
On an overall basis, we highly recommend the use of Kyivstar. Kyivstar has 22 million subscribers, almost 100% coverage in Ukraine, and provides the best quality off all Ukrainian operators. If your cell phone supports such standards as GSM 900 or GSM 1800, you will need only a prepaid package - a SIM card and some money on account.
Such packages are provided by most Ukrainian mobile operators and can be purchased almost in every shop selling mobile phones.
The following eight GSM/CDMA operators, currently operate in Ukraine:
