In useful material, we tell you how to do everything right to immediately start using a mobile connection of another operator. 24 Channels

In addition to Kyivstar, Ukrainians have the opportunity to benefit from the services of two more Ukrainian operators: Vodafone and lifecell. To get started, you need to purchase the operator’s starter pack and install it on your smartphone. We tell you what you need to do to stay in touch from now on.

Vodafone sim card activation

Subscribers must activate the Vodafone starter pack to start using mobile services. It is important to follow the correct steps, as without proper activation users will be billed based on the company’s base rates and not the terms of the stated rate plan. We recommend that you take your time with activation to avoid overpayments.

Activation procedure

The process of activating a Vodafone SIM card involves inserting it into a smartphone and performing any action such as making a call, sending an SMS or using the Internet.

Additionally, subscribers can top up the balance with the recommended amount. This method activates both the SIM card and the starter pack at affordable pricing.

For subscribers who want to quickly change or connect the tariff after activating a new SIM card, you can:

• use the USSD code of the corresponding tariff plan,
• Go to the “My Vodafone” mobile application,
• Contact contact center operators for assistance.

Lifecell sim card activation

Users who choose Lifecell can use the instructions below.

1. Insert the purchased SIM card into the phone or tablet.
2. Call 111 and wait for the automatic greeting on the answering machine.
3. The selected tariff plan will be activated and the user will be charged for package services for the next 4 weeks.
4. Although the starting balance is 0, subscribers can use minutes, gigabytes and other included services immediately after activation.
