There are several large mobile networks in Ukraine, which actually occupy the entire communications market. These are life, MTS, Kyivstar, as well as 3mob. Each of the operators, of course, has its own set of tariff plans and various conditions that they offer to the subscriber. The user only has to make a choice in favor of one or another plan in order to use communication services to their advantage.
Kyivstar is the leader of the Ukrainian mobile market
In today's article we will talk about the leader in the field of mobile communications in Ukraine - Kyivstar. This is the second oldest operator that started its activity in the territory of an independent country. And it differs in that it offers subscribers favorable service conditions, as well as high quality service in the form of an uninterrupted signal almost throughout Ukraine.
All tariff plans include certain conditions. This is a fixed cost of services (for example, calls within the network for 10 kopecks), a certain number of bonuses, as well as minutes intended for making calls. Give examples of bonus points, unfortunately, in the sectormobile communication is not possible. Kyivstar provides bonuses at the moment only to home Internet users. However, this is a completely different line of business for the company.
As for the minutes, they are still widely used in the company's tariff plans. Customers are offered to use them, in particular, for calls within their own network and communication with other operators. We will tell you how to check minutes on Kyivstar on a specific tariff plan, as well as the conditions of each of them.
Tariff "For calls"
The simplest, most affordable and practical plan that contains minutes allotted for calls contains a plan called "Calls to all networks". Its cost is only 50 hryvnia per month.
For this money, the subscriber gets 60 minutes for calls to other networks, as well as an unlimited number of minutes for calls to Kyivstar numbers. This tariff does not provide for extraordinary accrual of minutes - just the cost of each minute after spending is 60 kopecks.
It will be possible to check the number of accrued minutes using the combination 112.
As a small bonus, the subscriber is provided with 50 megabytes of Internet traffic per month.
For smartphone +
The next interesting plan is Smartphone+. It, as you can see for yourself on the operator's website, costs more - 95 hryvnia per month. Users are again offered an unlimited number of minutes for calls on the network and 60 minutes for calls to numbers of other operators. Foruse of Internet services is offered 1500 megabytes of traffic per month. At this tariff, checking the minutes is no different. Kyivstar serves a single combination for receiving such information - 112.
The good news for those who now use this tariff is the absence of traffic billing when working with social networks - VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook and Twitter.
Tariff "For extra smartphone"
You can get more minutes by switching to another tariff. "For smartphone extra" provides the subscriber with 200 minutes per month for talking with other networks, as well as 2500 megabytes of Internet. If you don't know how to check minutes on Kyivstar, use the same combination 112.
The cost of the tariff is 150 hryvnia per month of use.
"All for 500" and "All for 800"
The last two tariffs that we will characterize can be combined, since they are connected on a contract basis and offer similar conditions, except for the volume of the data package. Thus, both tariffs provide unlimited free minutes to Kyivstar, as well as 1500 and 2500 minutes for calls to other networks, respectively.
The amount of Internet traffic that comes in the package with both services is 5GB and 7GB, respectively. As you might guess from the name of the packages, their cost is 500 and 800 hryvnia per month of service. Again, the answer to the question “how to check minutes on Kyivstar according topackets” is repeated - use 112.
Free roaming
Above we described Kyivstar tariffs for use in national roaming - within Ukraine. You can also order the service in order to make cheaper calls while abroad. In this case, the operator provides you with bonus minutes for a conversation at a lower cost. You can find out how to order minutes to Kyivstar for calls from abroad on the website in the Free Roaming tariff, which we did.
First of all, it is important to mention the company's division of all countries in which subscribers are serviced into two groups. The first includes Russia, Italy, Georgia, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The cost of a minute of conversation with them will be 1.50 UAH (provided that the user is given 25 minutes for a daily fee of 37.50). True, as noted on the Kyivstar website, extraordinary accrual of minutes at this rate is not allowed - after you use them, you will have to pay much more.
The second group of countries is a much more extensive list. For conversations with them, 15 minutes per day are provided for 60 hryvnia (per day) worth 4 hryvnia.
After the subscriber exceeds the limits set by the option (25 and 15 minutes), the cost of calls increases to UAH 2.25 and UAH 3.60 respectively for both groups.
If you are looking for how to check the minutes on Kyivstar for talking in roaming, there is an answer on the website with information about the service: you need to use a combination10612.
Favorite countries
Another interesting tariff, also aimed at providing minutes for calls with subscribers from other countries, is "Favorite countries". Choose where you want to call, enter a special activation code and get an exclusive rate for each individual destination. The cost of connection with all countries will be equal to 2 hryvnias, and the price for activation of the service (with each of the countries) will be equal to 5 hryvnias.
Tariffing for each of the states is given on the official website of the company. It is noteworthy that the number of minutes is not limited, so it makes no sense to check them in the context of this option.
Bonuses on home internet
It would be useful to mention services that are not related to mobile communications. We are talking about the home Internet and how bonuses are awarded for working with it. Kyivstar offers rewards simply for the fact that you replenish your account in the system. Each bonus is equal to the number of hryvnias paid for the service. The exceptions are periods when you had a debt or the Internet was not active due to the Suspend option.
You can use bonuses at your discretion. This may be payment for the mobile connection of your account in the system, as well as repayment of debt for working with the "Home Internet". The validity period of bonuses is 20 days, it is during this period that you will have to use them. If we talk about paying for home Internet from a company, then in this case you can connect the Internet package "Day" or"Night" at the price of 50 bonuses for 7 days, as well as activate the "Double speed" option, according to which for 50 bonuses you will get twice the connection speed for 90 days.
Checking bonuses
Since you can use the bonuses provided by Kyivstar in two directions - to pay for the Internet and mobile services, there are two accounts, and therefore two ways to check your remaining bonuses.
The first one is 110, which shows how many of them you have on your mobile account. The second is 460 - shows how many bonuses are directly on the account of the stationary Internet.
Control minutes, bonuses and more
We would recommend that you use a special accounting system for all data relating to your subscriber account. We are talking about the My Kyivstar application, which is available both on the Internet and as a program for any of the mobile platforms presented to this day. With it, you can not only see how much and what is left on your account, but also keep track of spending statistics. And the main advantage is that all this is free and in real time. As a result, you get exactly the same information that you previously had to ask contact center consultants or company representatives in the service center.
To start using the application, just register in it using your phone number and a temporary password that will be sent to it in the form of SMS. Subscribers who are interested in the service of homeInternet, use your service contract number instead of your phone number.
The possibilities of the system are such that you can even transfer some types of bonuses to other subscribers! Tons of benefits the platform provides are a must try!
