The most convenient telephone use is through a mobile phone. All major telephone brands are available in Ukraine and in most places now service is available. The telephone provided during the tour is very much the same as your telephone from your own country.
One important tip to remember is to dial the + sign. For each manufacture has placed this key in different areas but your Account Executive will be able to demonstrate how to place a call and will be able to assist you for the complete trip.
To dial inside the Ukraine to another mobile user simply dial:
80 XX-XXX-XXXX or +380-XX-XXX-XXXX
Calling a normal (land-line) phone
Local
Dial the finial seven digits (e.g. to call our office +38 (044) 234 6230, you would dial 234-6230, or dial the complete number +38-044-234-6230)
Outside the local area
Dial the city code and local number
+38 044 234 6230 becomes +38 044 234 6230
Paying for telephone calls is rather straight forward; all calls on your phone are in a pre-paid format. Your phone comes with 25 hryvnia placed onto your account. Additional minutes can be purchased where ever Kievstar pre-paid cards are sold. Which are basically located everywhere. Loading the phone with more pre-paid minutes is just dialing a simple code placed on the back of the card. Your Account Executive will show you how to load the minutes onto the phone. Listed below are many helpful phone numbers to keep handy.
