Kyivstar introduced a new service for users who travel abroad — Travel SIM. This is a separate eSIM intended to access mobile Internet while roaming.
The eSIM can be used in 38 countries, and there is no regular monthly fee for the service — users only pay for the chosen package of gigabytes, according to Kyivstar.
As the company notes, Kyivstar became the first among Ukrainian mobile operators to offer such a format. The user receives a separate eSIM with a new number and can independently choose the required data volume — 5, 10, 20, or 40 GB. Payment is made only for the Internet package purchased.
The Travel SIM does not support calls or SMS, since it is intended exclusively for data transmission abroad. At the same time, it can be obtained not only by Kyivstar customers but also by subscribers of other mobile operators.
How to connect the Travel SIM
The eSIM can be purchased in the Kyivstar online store. After that, it must be installed on a smartphone that supports eSIM technology and activated. Then the user can connect to mobile Internet in the countries where the service works.
Currently, the Travel SIM works in 38 countries. The list includes Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, United Kingdom, Greece, Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Netherlands, Germany, Norway, United Arab Emirates, Poland, South Korea, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, USA, Turkey, Hungary, Finland, France, Croatia, Czechia, and Sweden.
In addition, the service is available in Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana. The coverage also extends to certain islands and territories, including the Canary Islands and Azores, Madeira, Corsica, Ibiza, Vatican City, and San Marino.
What Kyivstar offers to users abroad
According to Kyivstar CEO Oleksandr Komarov, access to mobile Internet remains one of the key needs of Ukrainians while abroad.
“Therefore, we want to give users a simple choice: a separate travel eSIM, 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,”
— emphasized Oleksandr Komarov.
Kyivstar continues to expand mobile connectivity options for users abroad. In particular, subscribers have access to VoLTE in roaming, which provides voice calls over 4G networks, as well as 5G roaming in dozens of countries. In addition, the service “Roaming as at Home” is in effect, allowing users to use overseas connectivity on terms close to those in Ukraine.
