What sim-card should I get in Ukraine, if I only plan to use it for mobile Internet? [duplicate] - Happy middle aged woman in casual clothes focusing on screen and interacting with smartphone while ironing clothes in light living room of modern apartment

I'm planning to stay in Kiev, Ukraine for a week and would like to have mobile Internet. I will need to use a total of 500 MB during that time.

What is currently the cheapest sim-card/plan for my purposes? Preferably one I could buy at Borispol airport.



Best Answer

As of 2016, the best offer is to get a Vodafone simcard. Their price list (for data) is as follows:

  • 500 MB — 30 UAH/month (~1EUR)
  • 2000 MB — 50 UAH/month (~2EUR)
  • 5000 MB — 90 UAH/month (~3EUR)

You can buy a Vodafone sim card at any of the numerous mobile phone kiosks in Ukrainian cities or at Vodafone's official stores. There is now also 3G coverage and it works pretty good in major cities.
