Vodafone Ukraine

News Summary:

On April 3, 2026, a regulator report indicated that Vodafone Ukraine's telecommunications service revenues increased by 13.1% in 2025, reaching UAH 25.59 billion. This performance positioned it as the second-largest operator in Ukraine by revenue, behind Kyivstar (UAH 44.16 billion) and ahead of lifecell (UAH 15.74 billion). Previously, on March 26, the company overhauled its business tariff line, introducing nine new plans with monthly subscription rates from UAH 220 to UAH 1200. These tariffs often include unlimited on-net calls, with the top-tier plan offering unlimited data, 40 GB for EU roaming, 200 minutes to foreign networks (increasing to 600 from May 1), and 2000 SMSs. Earlier in March, specifically on the 8th, data showed that in February, 35,047 numbers were ported from Vodafone Ukraine's network, making it one of the two largest operators from which subscribers actively switched. This followed two significant announcements on March 3: Vodafone Ukraine signed a Memorandum of Understanding with AST SpaceMobile during MWC Barcelona to explore launching mobile satellite services across the country, aiming to offer full satellite broadband via low-orbit satellites. On the same day, Vodafone Ukraine CEO Olha Ustynova stated in an interview with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty that a "quarantine" for roaming SIM cards would not be effective in stopping Russian drones, as the SIM cards used may originate from non-Ukrainian or non-Russian operators.
