Mobile operators (Ukraine): codes. Development of the mobile communications market in Ukraine. Kyivstar codes. Kievstar numbers first digits Ukrainian cellular communications

Mobile operators have been operating in the country since the mid-1990s. Ukraine (codes are different for each operator) is covered by mobile communications on 98% of its territory. Mobile communications solved many people's problems because not everyone had landlines. In addition, cell phones help to contact a person as quickly as possible.

Which mobile operators are popular?

There are several operators operating in Ukraine. Market leaders mobile communications- MTS/Vodafone and Kyivstar. The operator Intertelecom is also represented ( telephone code+38094), operating in CDMA format. Less popular mobile operators also operate in the country. Ukraine (codes for calls from abroad must be dialed in international format: 0038 or +38) is an already established mobile communications market. It will be very difficult for new operators to access it.

Mobile operators (Ukraine): codes

How to type correctly mobile number Ukrainian operator? If a person is calling from abroad, first enter the combination +38 (international), then indicate the operator code (three digits) and the phone number (7 digits). In the event that the caller is not very familiar with mobile operators in Ukraine, it is by the code that one can understand , whether a call will cost a person cheap or expensive.

So, the operator "MTS/Vodafone" has this moment four codes: +38050, +38066, +38095, +38099. Some of these codes originally belonged to other, smaller telecom operators that joined MTS. Initially, mobile operators (Ukraine), whose codes are +38066, +38095 and +38099, independently offered their services to customers. We are talking about the operators Ecotel and Jeans.

"Kyivstar" is a mobile operator (Ukraine is the only country where this company operates), which was one of the first to offer its services on the Ukrainian market. Kyivstar now also owns four codes: +38067, +38096, +38097, +38098.

Other operators

What other mobile operators are there (Ukraine)? What are their codes?

Today, many people prefer Life tariffs (codes +38063, +38093), because this operator provides profitable services (Internet). Of course, it is worth paying attention to those mobile operators that are not so well known, although their tariffs and conditions are not so bad. The Russian operator Beeline (code +38068) quickly burst into the Ukrainian mobile space several years ago. Potential subscribers know very little about Golden Telecom (code +38039), because this operator did not particularly advertise its services. The Peoplenet operator specializes more in providing the Internet. Works using CDMA/3g technology (code +38092).

Ukraine is famous for its excellent cuisine, beautiful women, metallurgists and miners, as well as beautiful nature and excellent climate. Last year this country hosted the FIFA World Cup. And in general, Russia and Ukraine remain fraternal countries, no matter what anyone says. It is all the more interesting to understand the intricacies of modern Ukrainian telecom, where you can find some of the lowest tariffs for mobile communications and the Internet and great difficulties with 3G operation.

The Internet project “Be Mobile” continues, cellular communications and the Internet in the most different countries peace. Our instructions will help you save money and get maximum freedom and mobility when traveling abroad. Today we will break down the tariffs for mobile communications and the Internet in Ukraine, where hundreds of thousands of Russians go every year. If you are going to this country in the near future, we recommend that you study this material thoroughly and thoroughly.

In terms of penetration of mobile communications, the Internet, pay television and fixed telephony, Ukraine ranks in the middle of the list of European countries. At the beginning of 2013, just over 58 million subscribers used mobile communication services (penetration of about 130%), 5.5 million households had access to the Internet (50% of the country’s population), and about 15 million households had access to watch television.

Mobile communications in Ukraine

id="sub0">

Currently, there are six national operators operating in Ukraine. These are Kyivstar, MTS, Life:), which provide services in the GSM standard (MTS also provides 3G services based on CDMA450 1x EV-DO Rev A), TriMob is the only UMTS operator, as well as Intertelecom and PEOPLEnet ", using CDMA 1x EV-DO Rev B and EV-DO Rev A respectively. 90% of the country's territory is covered by 2G, 15% by 3G. There are no 4G networks.

At the same time, for real large operators There are only three with a large area and subscriber coverage base: Kyivstar, MTS and Life:). CDMA operators largely provide mobile Internet services and have a very significant share in their niche. In many respects, this situation has developed due to the lack of free frequencies for the deployment of UMTS/HSPA networks. GSM operators still provide Mobile Internet by EDGE. As an alternative, MTS is forced to use CDMA EV-DO Rev A at 450 MHz frequencies for mobile Internet. At the same time, subscribers experience difficulties when traveling to Europe or Russia: their devices and modems do not work.

And the only operator, TriMob (the mobile division of Ukrtelecom), which has UMTS2100 licenses, is not able to build a large and high-quality 3G network throughout the country. The company simply does not have enough money.

It is all the more interesting to observe the situation around Ukrtelecom, which was purchased in June 2013 SCM group. SCM owns a 45% stake in the mobile operator Life:). It is logical to assume that after some time the Life:) operator will be able to launch 3G under its own brand, investing its own investments in construction. However, Ukrainian experts are confident that there is no point in hoping for the imminent appearance of full-fledged 3G. Everything is tied to politics.

So it turns out that our Slavic brothers have room not only for GSM, but also for CDMA. Virtual operators have not taken root in Ukraine, although there have been such attempts. The situation with MVNOs is very similar to what we can observe in Russia.

In July 2013 there were 60 million mobile subscribers. At the same time, the penetration rate of cellular communication services reached 130%. This is quite consistent with average European figures.

Roaming with a Russian operator

id="sub1">

Currently, every federal operator in Russia provides the opportunity to connect to preferential roaming services. All these services and options apply to Ukraine. However, when traveling to this country, I would recommend buying local SIM cards and using them. Why? Because roaming rates for Russian operators in Ukraine are unreasonably high.

Here is a comparative table of special tariffs and services in international roaming in Ukraine for 2013.

Operator	Rostelecom	MTS	Megaphone	Beeline	MOTIVE	Tele2
Option name	World roaming	Zero without limits	Eurotariff	Multipass	Roaming NON-STOP	International roaming
Connection	0	0	0	0	12 rub.	0
Subscription fee	14 rub/day	25 rub/day	No	10 rub/day	2 rub/day	No
Incoming calls	14 rubles/min – first and starting from the 11th minute 0 rub/min – from 2nd to 10th minute	0 rub/min – from 1st to 10th minute (but not more than 200 free minutes per month) 5 rub/min – starting from 11 minutes	6 rub.	5 rub.	7.7 rub.	9.45 rub.
Outgoing to Russia	14 rub.	25 rub/min – 1st minute and from the 6th minute 15 rub/min – from 2nd to 5th minute	16 rub.	15 rub.	149 rub.	9.45 rub.
Outgoing within Ukraine	14 rub.	33 rub.	16 rub.	15 rub.		9.45 rub.
SMS	4 rub.	7.5 rub.	6 rub.	3.95 rub.	12 rub.	4.5 rub.
Internet per MB	501 rub.	358 rub.		RUB 30.21	563.8 rub.	25 rub.

And these are prices with special options! Without connecting the services described, you will spend 5-6 times more on roaming.

In order not to be left with a non-working phone while roaming, I recommend checking before your trip whether the service is activated on your number international roaming. You must also ensure that you have enough money in your account to take into account expenses.

To top up your roaming account, you can use by bank card, linked to a phone number, with express payment cards. In an emergency, you can somehow ask your relatives or loved ones to top up your phone balance.

The second (economical) way to stay in touch is to buy a SIM card local operator. This method will help you save a lot of money on communication services, since all calls from local cellular companies from Ukraine to Russia cost 5-7 times cheaper than Russian calls with roaming.

Local SIM card

id="sub2">

As in other European countries, two types of tariffs are available to customers: prepaid and contract. The prepaid payment system involves complete anonymity subscriber To purchase a SIM card you do not need a document proving your identity. For this reason, SIM cards can be bought anywhere and from anyone: in a salon, at a train station, at a newsstand, in an underground passage, etc. The contract provides for the formal conclusion of an agreement. To do this, the subscriber will need an ID card. At the same time, contract tariffs allow you to receive services on credit. Only a resident of the country can become a contract subscriber. According to the Ukrainian Statistics Center, 80% of subscribers use cellular communications on a prepaid basis, 20% on a contract basis.

It is also worth noting that many prepaid and contract tariffs of Ukrainian operators have a so-called connection fee (CCC). It is debited once at the time of each call. CCD appeared several years ago and became a reaction to the law obliging operators to charge each call per second from the first second.

Average cost of a contract tariff with unlimited voice within the network, a block of 4000 minutes to other networks, 1000 SMS, free mobile Internet, 100 minutes international communications is 600 hryvnia (2400 rubles) per month. The package is half the size and without international calls will cost 1,000 rubles per month.

People who are in Ukraine temporarily (work, study, vacation), for the most part, use prepaid tariffs. These offers have good consumer properties; you can connect to them without documents, at customer service centers or in regular retail outlets and supermarkets. Tariffs do not have a subscription fee, but some of them have a mandatory monthly payment that must be credited to the account. In addition, the account is replenished with payment cards, and the minimum denomination of cards is 30 hryvnia. You can top up your account without any problems using a bank card.

When connecting, the subscriber will be charged from 50 to 30 hryvnia, and the SIM card account will have a balance of 30 to 15 hryvnia. For a Russian citizen, this may seem like robbery, but in Ukraine such rules have developed.

The cost of calls abroad to landlines and Cell phones may vary by lower tariff when calling to landlines. The cheapest calls are to subscribers in Russia. True, we can only talk about this when using special “travel” or tourist tariffs. They are 10-20 times cheaper than basic offers. For example, minimum price to Russian fixed-line numbers at a special tariff is from 60 Russian kopecks per minute. On mobile call will cost more - 3 rubles on average. The basic rate is 48 rubles per minute. A call to the European Union on a promotional tariff costs 3.5 rubles per minute, and on a basic tariff – 72 rubles per minute.

Examples current tariffs prepaid payment system for mobile communications in 2013 in Ukraine. Prices are indicated in rubles at the rate of 4 rubles per hryvnia, excluding the fee of 7.5% of the cost of the service to the Pension Fund of Ukraine.

As the table data shows, mobile communications in Ukraine cost almost the same as in Russia. Ukrainian tariffs are several times lower than in and other European countries. However, there are some peculiarities here in the form of connection fees and inadequately high basic tariffs to mobile Internet. It is worth talking about the Ukrainian mobile Internet separately.

Mobile Internet

id="sub3">

Mobile Internet in Ukraine can be used either on an unlimited basis, per megabyte, or by purchasing blocks of traffic. The first option is more typical for CDMA operators, since they may have special problems transmitting a huge amount of Internet traffic through their 3G networks. The last option is used by GSM operators. All of them, with the exception of the TriMob operator (“OGO! Mobile”, are limited by the EDGE ceiling. For this reason, roaming subscribers GSM networks from Russia and Europe feel low Internet speeds.

In general, the tariff parameters are very similar to Russian ones. On unlimited tariffs CDMA operators have a fixed block of traffic with no speed limit. Then the speed is reduced to 128 Kbps. The subscriber has the opportunity to buy additional package traffic without speed limit. In addition, some tariffs are completely unlimited. The subscription fee in this case is about 900 rubles per month. Data transfer speed is limited to 3 Mbit/s.

A USB modem and an R-UIM card can be purchased at any operator office or in partner stores. average price devices – 340 hryvnia for CDMA 1x Rev A (1360 rubles) and 600 hryvnia for the version with support for CDMA 1x Rev B (2400 rubles).

As for 3G and even more so LTE, Ukraine is among the laggards here. The deployment of the first third-generation network in Ukraine started back in July 2006 by the Ukrtelecom company. However, the operator was able to allocate only $150 million to build the network, which was clearly not enough for nationwide coverage. Experts then stated that the actions of the management of Ukrtelecom were caused only by the desire to increase the capitalization of the company and prepare it for future privatization. Moreover, some market participants cautiously stated that the deployment of 3G communications is still premature and all data transmission tasks can be solved using EDGE and GPRS technologies.

In 2013, Ukrtelecom is still the only holder of a 3G license, but over the years it has not been able to deploy a full-fledged network even within Kyiv, not to mention other large cities. Other operators cannot obtain a license due to the fact that the necessary radio frequency resource is occupied for the needs of the military, and the procedure for frequency conversion has not yet been approved.

At the same time, the introduction of new generation communications has a positive effect on the economy. Thus, according to the GSMA report, a 10% increase in 3G network coverage increases GDP per capita by 0.15%. Analysts made this conclusion after analyzing 96 developed and emerging markets. For the stagnating economy of Ukraine, the rapid introduction of 3G could become a lifesaver that would at least slightly increase GDP growth.

It is noteworthy that due to the lack of full-fledged 3G communications based on UMTS and HSPA technologies, in Ukraine several providers are quite successful in providing mobile high-speed Internet using CDMA and Wi-Max technologies. Moreover, the introduction of 3G will have an impact on this market, but will not lead to its deformation. The fact is that third-generation communications are not cheap, and in order to quickly recoup the costs of its deployment, operators develop it only in places with a high concentration of population.

At the same time, such players as Freshtel, Intertelecom and PEOPLEnet are niche and provide their high-speed mobile Internet services in areas where 3G communications will not appear soon. Therefore, in villages, Internet access services from these operators will continue to be in demand. But in cities, after the advent of 3G UMTS communications, there may be an outflow of subscribers from niche operators.

Currently, there are four third generation networks operating in Ukraine. The Ukrainian division of MTS uses an NMT license in the 450 MHz band. The network was deployed using CDMA EV-DO Rev technology. A in 2007. CDMA EV-DO Rev technology has also been launched in some areas. B. In this network, the operator provides exclusively data services.

One of the leaders in 3G coverage area, Intertelecom provides 3G services using EV-DO Rev A technology (license in the 800 MHz band). Two years ago, Intertelecom launched Internet access using EV-DO Rev B technology with information transfer speeds of up to 14.7 Mbit/s.

In addition, 3G Internet is available to subscribers of the PEOPLEnet operator, which uses CDMA EV-DO Rev A technology in the 800 MHz frequency range. Well, and the long-suffering mobile division of Ukrtelecom - TriMob, working with UMTS technology. True, 3G only works in the ten largest cities in the country, but even there the coverage leaves much to be desired.

Examples of current tariffs for mobile Internet in 2013 in Ukraine. Prices are indicated in rubles at the rate of 4 rubles per hryvnia, excluding the fee of 7.5% of the cost of the service to the Pension Fund of Ukraine.

Operator	Kyivstar	MTS	Life:)	OGO!Mobile	Intertelecom	PEOPLEnet
Name	Unlimited	3G connection	life:) online	Standard	Super Unlimited 150	Unlimited L
Type	batch	unlimited	batch	batch	unlimited	unlimited
Subscription fee	580 rub/month	24 rub/day	120 rub/month	480 rub/month	600 rub/month	396 rub/month

At the same time, I would like to note the huge number wi-fi points With free access in Kyiv, Donetsk, Kharkov and Lvov. This became possible largely thanks to last year's European Football Championship. During preparation for this event, about 300 free hotspots were installed in cities. These networks are called “wi-fi ua (free)”. Points are available in historical places, train stations and airports. In addition, almost every cafe or restaurant has a separate free outlet.

The Ukrainian mobile communications market turned out to be incredibly interesting from the point of view of intrigue and politics. Some features contradict logic, but Ukraine would not be Ukraine without it.

Firstly, the CDMA and Wi-Max standards are still in demand and flourishing in the country. This is due to the lack of 3G licenses from GSM operators. For the same reason, mobile Internet at acceptable speeds can only be obtained in the networks of CDMA operators. The only operator with a 3G license is not involved in infrastructure development due to chronic underfunding. At the same time, the state has been inactive for 8 years.

Just a few years ago it was difficult not only to remember the operator code, but also its name in general. It was popular to create not new tariffs, but a separate type of offers that had their own subscription plans. This is how they appeared over time:

• Ace&Base, Djuice, Mobilych, Beeline;
• Jeans, SIM-SIM, MTS;
• Life:), Moby and others.

All of these operators were regarded as separate proposals for certain parts of the population. However, the population would prefer one thing of high quality.

So now, many people want to combine and use only one code of mobile operators in Ukraine, which is basically impossible due to various financial and other issues. This worries almost everyone due to a large number of operator codes, which are difficult for some to remember, as a result of which significant amounts of money are lost from the account when making calls. However, it’s enough to simply learn or simply print a plate where all the codes of mobile operators in Ukraine will be located. The Maanimo editors will be happy to provide it to you in this article, and you will know who is calling.

Brief information about Ukrainian operators

Before you figure out what mobile operator codes exist in Ukraine in 2019, you need to first familiarize yourself with information about companies that provide communication services to the population.

One of the first mobile operators in Ukraine was UMC, which has undergone several big changes over the years. So the company rebranded the network twice, subsequently being called MTS, and the current name is Vodafone. Over the entire period of work, he is characterized by subscribers as an excellent operator with good conditions and quality of communication.

The next company that launched its brand was Kyivstar - a national operator covering a large number of cities and towns thanks to constant development mobile networks. This brand actively takes part in many investment projects, improving and developing its network for quality use.

There are also fans of communications from Intertelecom and Ukrtelecom, but they are preferred by a small part of subscribers. In total, Kyivstar is used most of all - about 42%, Vodafone - about 40%, Lifecell - up to 10%, and the remaining 8% comes from other operators.

Ukrainian mobile operator codes

Generally codes mobile operators is a three-digit special identifier that refers to specific network and a company providing communication services to the population. Overall, the code and number provide excellent protection against unwanted calls, except for confusion with some of the first digits. That is why it is worth knowing and remembering all the codes in order to avoid confusion and loss of money.

All operator codes in Ukraine are more or less easy to remember, given the fact that now there are only three main ones, to which the other remaining sets of numbers were assigned. Separately, we can recall that the operator code 068 was transferred from the Beeline company, which completed its work and entered Kyivstar.

So it's best to separate the codes telephone operators into four categories:

1. Kyivstar;
2. Vodafone;
3. Lifecell;
4. other operator codes of Ukraine.

Vodafone operator codes

Without exception, all Vodafone (MTS Ukraine) operator codes remained the same, as did the owner. The changed name Vodafone represents the famous European operator, using the ideas and the entire organization of the work of this company. Tariffs have been updated somewhat, but as practice shows, for the better and with better communication coverage.

At the moment there are only a few operator codes, but with an increase in the number of subscribers, the company may think about one more. So now it’s worth remembering these:

1. 050 is considered one of the very first codes of mobile operators in Ukraine, received at the beginning of cellular communications in the country by the then UMC brand. After rebranding, it became the main code of the MTS operator, and now Vodafone;
2. 066 is an operator code that began to be used in Jeans numbers. The creation of this operator was aimed mainly at young people, with corresponding tariffs and services. Nowadays, operator code 066 is practically not used in new packages, with the exception of VIP numbers;
3. 095 - was introduced after the first two and is now quite popular. Previously, the operator code 095 was intended for UMC and Jeans, and the first began with a number consisting of all digits except 7 and 9, left to the second. According to statistics, 095 is the most used company code;
4. Operator code 099 is universal and was planned to be used for all brands that previously represented the UMC group. Since 099 is a fairly new operator code, it is actively used in new connections and when switching from old ones.

According to experts, Vodafone now has more than 15 million subscribers, which is an excellent result and a demonstration of quality services and coverage.

Kyivstar operator codes

Kyivstar is a very popular company and probably everyone knows the codes that apply to it.

The only unknown can be called 039 - presented for the Golden Telecom brand, which did not exist for a long time. The main codes of the Kyivstar operator are:

1. 067 is one of the very first mobile operator codes in Ukraine, and is also considered to be in the forefront in terms of the number of subscribers. Today, it is used mainly to connect new users, concluding an agreement on a contract basis;
2. operator code 068 is the former Beeline operator code, however, without the possibility of new connections. At least for now;
3. 096 - Kyivstar operator code, which was previously used for Djuice subscribers;
4. 097 is the operator code with which the Djuice brand began its work. Now the code is popular, and is often found in new starter packages;
5. 098 is an operator code that also has excellent popularity and a large number of subscribers.

In total, Kyivstar subscribers number more than 16 million.

Lifecell operator codes

The Lifecell brand was created by the Turkish operator Turkcell, which was previously involved in another name Life:). At the moment, the number of subscribers is about 6-7 million people, most of whom are young people. All this is explained by convenient and favorable tariffs aimed at using high-speed Internet.

This operator is certainly an excellent option for large cities, and the codes used are as follows:

1. 063 is the first code of the Life operator. It was with him that the history of the brand began, and the start exceeded all expectations. Operator code 063 is still popular today;
2. Operator code 093 is used with great success and is available for sale even now.
3. 073 - new code and looks very nice. The company initially planned to purchase the 077, but the proprietary use of the triple in the end exceeded many desires, as well as to avoid operator confusion.

Who called?

Table of codes of mobile operators in Ukraine

	Operator name	Mobile codes operators
	Kyivstar	067, 096, 097, 098
	Vodafone (MTS)	050, 066, 095, 099
	Lifecell (Life)
	Fraudulent	070, 080, 090, 056, 057
	Trimob, PeopleNet, Intertelecom

Codes of other mobile operators

Taking advantage of all the positive aspects: bonuses, promotions, advantageous offers and tariffs, people choose not only the popular Kyivstar, Lifecell, Vodafone, but also often prefer other unknown operators. Codes of cellular operators, which will always cause certain questions or indignation. All this is solely because of the best offers, albeit related to certain services: Internet, 3G Internet or various calls. Therefore, there are also such codes for mobile operators:

• operator code 091 - belongs to the Trimob operator from the Ukrtelecom company and is intended for the use of high-quality 3G Internet;
• 092 is PeopleNet, which is also used primarily for the Internet;
• operator code 094 - belongs to Intertelecom, which has long been trying to create competition for the three main Ukrainian operators, but so far has been unsuccessful. 094 operator code is new and practically unknown at the moment;
• 070, 080, 090 - such codes of Ukrainian operators have not yet been assigned to any individual provider, but they may soon become someone’s for a tidy sum of money. For now, only it can be used by scammers for various frauds.

Also, an excellent trick for many can be the operator code 056, which, as many will think, does not refer to new operator codes, but in fact to the city of Dnepr.

056 is the operator code for “special problems”, as it is popularly called, because scammers can call from it very often, even at night, drop the call, and when they try to call back, large sums of money will be withdrawn. Also, attackers can post a number with such a code on a job advertisement site, and when you call it, you will be charged a considerable amount.

Operator code 057, which is used to introduce a robot promoting various products, also has a bad reputation. Many victims with sales are found on olx.ua, where the trading platform is not limited and has a free basis without special protections. The code is basic for the city of Kharkov.

A separate group of cellular operator codes can be identified as landline ones:

• Vinnitsa - 043;
• Dnepr - 056;
• Donetsk - 062;
• Zhytomyr - 041;
• Zaporozhye - 061;
• Ivano-Frankivsk - 034;
• Kyiv - 044 and 045;
• Kropyvnytskyi - 052;
• Lugansk - 064;
• Lutsk - 033;
• Lviv - 032;
• Nikolaev - 051;
• Odessa - 048;
• Poltava - 053;
• Rivne - 036;
• Sumy - 054;
• Ternopil - 035;
• Uzhgorod - 031;
• Kharkov - 057;
• Kherson - 055;
• Khmelnitsky - 038;
• Cherkasy - 047;
• Chernigov - 046;
• Chernivtsi - 037.

Some features of the services of Ukrainian operators

An excellent service that is also inexpensive, and in some cases even free, is an anti-identifier. It allows you to hide your mobile operator code and number from other subscribers of different operators. Very useful for those involved in sales, but many people prefer not to pick up the phone from such unknown numbers. More recently, Vodafone began providing new service- “Super Caller Identifier”, which will be able to determine codes of mobile operators and numbers, without exception, even with all the secrecy.

But the more popular service in Ukraine is considered to be “Who called?”. It is in great demand because it allows subscribers to find out about missed calls when the phone’s battery is low or there is no network coverage. This is very convenient, and some operators provide SMS response options for different situations or times of day. But the only thing that unites all companies providing the “Who called?” service. - its absolutely free.

Both a person with a cool smartphone and a grandmother with a push-button device can find out who called, because all the information comes via SMS, after which you can call the desired subscriber back. However, for those who use anti-caller ID, problems may arise; their number will not be included in the message, limited only to the time of the call and the date.

Codes of mobile operators around the world are characterized by greater variability and the number of license plates, and, as a rule, are rarely remembered by foreigners. They prefer to lead phone books or use your phone memory. Their mobile operator codes are so confusing that company employees themselves don’t always remember what goes where.

Conclusion

In conclusion, only one conclusion can be summed up - in Ukraine in 2019 there are three stable companies that provide excellent services and have good network coverage. Mobile operator codes are simple, they can be easily remembered, or you can simply use the table from this article, which can help you understand who is who.

1993

June 1, President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk makes the first call with cell phone Ukrainian-Dakish-German-Dutch joint venture "UMC"(Ukrainian Mobile Communications), created in 1992 and receiving the first telephone code in the history of Ukraine - 050 .
Before the call, instead of the traditional ribbon, Kravchuk cuts the telephone cable, which symbolizes the beginning of the era of Ukrainian wireless communication. This event, which after many years would be given the status of “epochal”, did not cause a violent reaction from the population at that time, or rather did not cause any; the number of subscribers by the end of 1993 was about 2,800 people. Galloping inflation, life in conditions of total deficit - that’s what was discussed, people were more interested in food prices and timely payment of wages than some innovations and “toys” of the President, and even the “tit” in the form landline phone was “in the hands” of many. However, there is another reason why there has not been a sharp leap in the development of cellular communications - this is its incredible high cost, just buying a phone and the connection fee was equal to the cost of a one-room apartment, if not on the outskirts of Kyiv, then in the suburbs - for sure.

1996

marked the emergence of new mobile operators in Ukraine, both regional and national - these are Golden Telecom, DCC, WellCOM, CDMA Ukraine, and of course the painfully familiar one, which received its first network code 067 .
“UMC” is losing its monopoly, competition arises, some companies are trying to find their niche in the market, for example, a direct landline number from CDMA Ukraine or DCC, and someone is entering into a fight for a client with a monopolist.

2005 year.

Each telecom operator has its own set of codes with which phone numbers begin. Let's talk about how Kyivstar numbers begin.

Navigation

Today there are more than twenty different operator codes. It won't take long to get confused with so many. Complexity is also added by rebranding, changing names and the emergence of different short numbers. In this material we will talk about how Kyivstar numbers begin.

039

You may be surprised, but these codes are actually used by the Kyivstar operator. This code applies to Golden Telephone numbers. This company was recently included in the branch of Kyivstar (provides fixed-line communication services).

067

The company started its work with this code, so it was one of the first. Currently the code only applies to new connections.

068

This is the code former operator Beeline-Ukraine. He recently joined Kyivstar. With a new connection, you cannot receive such a code. It remained only for old Beeline subscribers.

096

This is another Kyivstar operator code. Although these figures are also found in Dijus. It’s difficult to say where there are more of them, but nevertheless Dijus also has such codes.

097

Dijus began his work with this code, which was introduced to the market by Kyivstar. It was created as a youth brand and adheres to this policy today. Now there are numbers with such numbers from Kyivstar.

098

Also, like the previous option, it represents the numbers of the Kyivstar and Dijus companies. Although the starter packs that previously belonged to Beeline use this exact code.
