What to do if the network is lost

If you notice that the network signal is lost, you can try to connect to another carrier’s network. Internal national roaming is free in Ukraine. There’s no guarantee you’ll be able to do this if there are problems with network operation across the country, but it’s worth a try.

On Android you need to do the following:

• “Settings”,
• “mobile network”,
• “Network”.

Here’s how everything is done on the iPhone:

• “Options”,
• “Cellular data”,
• “Network selection”.
