No pocket Wi-Fi or SIM counter to find when you land in Ukraine, and nothing to return before you fly home. The eSIM is installed before you leave.
Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Ukraine travel data guide
A Ukraine eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Ukraine that you install before you fly. Plans in Ukraine run on Vodafone, Kyivstar and lifecell, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 18 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $1.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Global eSIM covers Ukraine and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Ukraine, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Ukraine from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Ukraine FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Ukraine?
It connects wherever Vodafone, Kyivstar and lifecell have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Ukraine, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Ukraine?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is the Ukraine eSIM 4G or 5G?
Plan on 4G. Vodafone, Kyivstar and lifecell are all listed as 4G networks for the Ukraine plans. Some plans carry a 4G/5G label, but we do not promise 5G anywhere in Ukraine.
Is 5 GB enough for a month in Ukraine?
For a month in Ukraine with WiFi where you stay, 5 GB is enough for maps, messaging and everyday browsing. Without regular WiFi, choose 10 GB or the 30 day unlimited plan.
Does the eSIM for Ukraine work in neighbouring countries?
No, the eSIM for Ukraine only works in Ukraine. For a trip through other countries, the Global plan includes Ukraine. Check that plan's country list for each place on your route.
When does my Ukraine plan start?
The plan starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Ukraine. Buying it and installing it beforehand does not start the days, so you can prepare well in advance.
Should I install the eSIM before reaching the border?
Yes. Installation needs an internet connection, and WiFi at a border crossing is not something to count on. Install at home, keep the line off, and switch it on once you are in Ukraine.
Can I share data from my Ukraine eSIM?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Ukraine plans. Devices that connect use your plan's data. On unlimited plans their use counts toward the daily 1 GB or 3 GB at full speed.
Can I add data to a Ukraine plan?
On some plans. Top up is supported on some Ukraine plans and not on others, and the plan card shows it. Where it is missing, buy a new plan and install it as a second eSIM.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
