In Ukraine, the internal roaming service is available for subscribers of Vodafone, "Kyivstar," and lifecell.
This service allows users to connect to another operator's network in case of signal loss. The rates for calls and SMS remain standard.
To set up roaming on Android, you need to disable the automatic network selection. This can be done through the phone's settings menu by selecting the "Mobile Network" or "Connection" section, and then the "Operator" option.
Once this feature is turned off, the device will start searching for available networks. When the search is complete, you will need to choose one of them: Vodafone UA, UA-KYIVSTAR, or LIFECELL. If the connection fails, you can try again or select a different network. After a successful connection, check if you can make calls and send SMS.
On iOS devices, the automatic network selection is disabled through the "Settings" menu in the "Cellular Data" section under "Network Selection." After this, the device will search for available operators, and the user will be prompted to select a network. Once connected, ensure that voice calls and text messaging are functional.
To enable mobile internet while roaming on Android, activate the "Data Roaming" feature, and on iOS, turn on "Data Roaming." These settings will allow you to use the internet via another operator's network.
It is advisable to regularly check if the primary operator's signal has been restored. You should revert to the standard connection settings immediately after the signal appears.
