Kyivstar has launched a separate eSIM for mobile internet abroad under the name "Travel SIM." This solution allows paying only for the chosen gigabyte package without a regular monthly fee, and Kyivstar roaming now includes another connectivity format for travelers. The service is available from 25 August and works in 38 countries around the world. It can be used not only by Kyivstar subscribers but also by customers of other mobile operators.
The new eSIM is a separate number designated exclusively for mobile internet abroad, with no calls or SMS. Kyivstar announced the launch of the service. Users independently choose the internet package – 5, 10, 20 or 40 GB – and pay only for it.
To use Travel SIM, you need to purchase an eSIM in Kyivstar’s online store, install it on a smartphone that supports this technology, and activate it. After that, mobile internet can be used in all countries where the service operates.
"Mobile internet is one of the essential needs for Ukrainians abroad. Therefore we want to give users a simple choice: a separate eSIM for travel, for which they pay only for the necessary internet package. Importantly, this solution can be used not only by Kyivstar subscribers but also by users of other mobile operators," said Kyivstar CEO Oleksandr Komarov.
Where the new Travel eSIM works
The service covers 38 countries:
Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, United Kingdom
Greece, Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, Iceland
Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania
Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, the Netherlands
Germany, Norway, United Arab Emirates, Poland, South Korea
Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia
USA, Turkey, Hungary, Finland, France
Croatia, Czechia, Sweden
The service also operates in Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana. In some countries coverage includes popular islands and territories—namely the Canary Islands and Azores, Madeira, Corsica, Ibiza, the Vatican and San Marino.
The operator is developing other international connectivity services
In addition to the new eSIM, Kyivstar subscribers have access to VoLTE in roaming for voice calls via 4G networks, as well as 5G roaming in dozens of countries worldwide. The company continues to develop technological capabilities for traveling customers.
Separately, the service "Roaming as at Home" remains available, allowing mobile communication abroad on terms close to the home tariff. Together with the new Travel eSIM, this expands options for subscribers looking to save on connectivity while traveling.
Earlier, Informator reported on important roaming details from Kyivstar—specifically about the service "Ideal Roaming" with a bonus model covering more than 130 countries, free apps abroad, and features of 5G roaming. We also noted that from 26 August Kyivstar is changing roaming terms—the operator is introducing automatic blocking of mobile internet for prepaid subscribers traveling to countries with the most expensive mobile data, and access can be unlocked manually.
