A Ukraine eSIM costs from $1.94 (3GB for 30 days) to $10.68 (20GB for 30 days) and runs on Vodafone, Kyivstar and lifecell. There's also an unlimited plan at $1.94 a day, for 3 to 90 days. Validity starts on your first connection in Ukraine, not on the day you buy, and your home number stays active for WhatsApp. You can share data over hotspot. Plans are data only; calls go through WhatsApp or other apps.
Every Rosh Hashanah, tens of thousands of pilgrims travel to Uman to the grave of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, and all of them need a connection for video calls home. The plan runs on Ukraine's three major networks, Kyivstar, Vodafone and lifecell, on 4G.

What should I know before a trip to Ukraine?
Because of the war, check the latest official travel warnings before any trip to Ukraine. Many travelers also install the local air-raid alert app.
During the Rosh Hashanah rush, networks in Uman are heavily loaded, with tens of thousands of people online in the same place at the same time. Download prayers, maps and documents in advance rather than relying on a large download at the last minute.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? Message us in the chat in the corner of the screen, or reach out through our contact form
Does the plan work in Uman?
Yes. The plan covers all of Ukraine, including Uman, on Kyivstar, Vodafone and lifecell. Over Rosh Hashanah the networks there are very busy, so speeds can drop.
How much data do I need for Rosh Hashanah in Uman?
For a week of messaging, navigation and a few short video calls, 5GB is usually enough. If you share a hotspot or use a lot of video, take 10GB or more.
Is there 5G in Ukraine?
Not on this plan. It runs on 4G.
Are eSIM, digital SIM, and virtual SIM all the same thing?
Yes. An eSIM (also called a digital SIM or virtual SIM) is a SIM with no physical component, installed on your device by scanning a QR code instead of inserting a card. You use it exactly like a regular SIM for data abroad, without hunting for a SIM kiosk at your destination.
Does my device support eSIM technology?
Most smartphones released in the last five years support eSIM. We recommend checking your device settings, or looking up your phone model in the FlySim compatibility checker. Open the compatibility checker
How exactly does activation work?
After payment, you'll receive a unique QR code by email. Scan it in your device's cellular settings (Add eSIM), confirm, and that's it.
