## Questions

### Does roam like at home work in Turkey with a Ukrainian SIM?

No, Turkey isn't in the EU. Kyivstar and Vodafone charge roaming; lifecell gives plan data by its «Гігабайти без кордонів» promotion on some plans until 31.12.2026. 1 GB with no bundle ≈ 450–700 ₴.

### Does roam like at home work in Egypt?

No, with no operator. 1 GB with no bundle ≈ 450 ₴ (Kyivstar), 525 ₴ (Vodafone), 700 ₴ (lifecell).

### Where does roam like at home work with a Ukrainian SIM?

By law in the 27 EU countries since 01.01.2026. Kyivstar adds United Kingdom, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Moldova.

### Does it work in the UK, Switzerland, Norway?

It depends on the operator: see the country card above. Kyivstar counts the UK and Norway as home, Vodafone gives 10 GB by a promotion until 31.03.2027, lifecell by a promotion until 31.12.2026.

### Does it work in Moldova?

There is no Ukraine–Moldova agreement; Kyivstar counts it as home, Vodafone and lifecell by promotions.

### How many GB do I get in the EU?

Part of your plan's data, by the formula: plan price without taxes / (1.1 € × rate) × 2. A UAH 420 plan ≈ 12 GB at least. Check: Kyivstar *121#, lifecell *108*5#, My Vodafone.

### What happens when the EU GB run out?

lifecell UAH 50 per GB, Kyivstar ≈ UAH 0.06 per MB, then spending limits.

### Do I need to turn anything on?

No, it starts at the border. Vodafone prepaid: a bundle must be active.

### Can they block me if I stay long in the EU?

Operators look at 4 months; if you're in the EU more than at home, a warning and after 14 days a surcharge. Holidays aren't affected.

### Does it work on a ferry, cruise or plane?

No: that's a maritime, aviation or satellite network with its own expensive rates. Turn off «Data roaming» on board.

### Why was I charged for roaming near a border?

The phone caught the neighbouring country's network; pick the network manually.

### Does it work in Northern Cyprus, Åland, the Faroes?

No (Kyivstar explicitly excludes Northern Cyprus and Åland).

### Do I need an eSIM in Poland or Czechia?

Usually not. It's worth it if your plan's EU data isn't enough (video, sharing with kids).
