SIM cards & keeping a number

Prepaid SIMs in Ukraine are generally sold without ID checks. A rule requiring a passport or ID card to buy a SIM was still under discussion in 2026 and not in force (Tehnofan, 31 May 2026); if adopted, operators would need roughly 3–6 months to implement it.

Keeping a number is cheap — one qualifying top-up a year: at least ₴30 in one payment (or a package payment) on Kyivstar, at least ₴10 on lifecell. The earlier claim that calls or SMS also extend validity was wrong: Kyivstar only counts top-ups and package payments, and transfers don’t count.

Kyivstar prepaid

Number-keeping SIM

Network: Kyivstar’s own network (Ukraine’s largest operator)
Price: Plan and top-up prices vary; at least ₴30 per top-up to extend
Keeping the number: Kyivstar help page (from 6 Feb 2026): normal service for 274 days after the last top-up or package payment; then a 91-day suspended period with no calls or data, but you can still top up and call service numbers, with SMS reminders. A single top-up of ₴30 or more during suspension restores it for another 274 days. Only a single top-up of ₴30+ or a 4-week, monthly or daily package payment extends validity — transfers and similar don’t. When the number is reassigned after suspension isn’t stated
ID check: Generally no ID for now
SMS & calls: A normal Ukrainian number. Kyivstar: incoming SMS are not charged while roaming

Pros

One ₴30 top-up a year keeps it
Incoming SMS free while roaming (official)

Watch out

Calls and SMS don’t count — you must top up or pay for a package
An ID requirement for buying SIMs may be introduced
Networks can be disrupted by the war

lifecell prepaid

Number-keeping SIM

Network: lifecell’s own network (MNO)
Price: Plan and top-up prices vary; at least ₴10 per top-up to extend
Keeping the number: lifecell’s official account (21 Jan 2026): without a single top-up of ₴10 or more within 365 days the number is blocked under its lifecycle, then reissued with old data deleted. Per Ukrainian media: after 365 days there are 30 days of incoming calls and SMS only, and a fully disconnected number not yet reassigned can be restored for ₴300
ID check: Generally no ID for now
SMS & calls: A normal Ukrainian number; cost of receiving SMS while roaming in China not verified

Pros

One ₴10 top-up a year keeps it — the lowest bar

Watch out

The 30-day receive-only period and ₴300 restoration fee come only from media reports
Roaming SMS pricing not verified
An ID requirement for buying SIMs may be introduced
