Description of tariffs from Vodafone operating in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions in 2021

Although the situation in the territories not controlled by Ukraine, namely in the Donbass, remains difficult, local residents have access to full mobile communications. This material will discuss Vodafone Ukraine tariffs for the Donetsk region and Lugansk region. Mainly attention is paid to the only current tariff “Smartphone Standard” - these are the conditions today for Donbass and the people living here.

What does the current tariff offer?

The “Smartphone Standard” tariff plan was developed at a time when most MTS tariffs were expiring. And they no longer responded to subscribers’ requests.

Starting in 2021, the MTS Standard tariff became the best offer at that time and available in those conditions.

Despite the fact that the new tariff is available to all subscribers in Ukraine. The widest distribution of the tariff was in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Taking into account the constant network outages, this package is ideal for Donbass.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of this tariff is the period of its use. This can be either 1 day or a month. If the terms of the tariff are suitable, then it can be activated for 4 weeks, after a day of use.

Switch to Vodafone contract tariff or business package

Subscribers of the Vodafone and MTS Ukraine operators who use communication services on a contract basis can switch to the new Red XL tariff for free using the USSD command *550*150#.

Immediately after notification of the transition, you will need to pay for the package of tariff services.

Each MTS Ukraine and Vodafone client who uses prepaid communication services also has the opportunity to switch to a contract tariff. However, to do this you will have to visit a Vodafone customer service representative. To sign documents, you must have your passport and identification code with you.

Another special case when you need to go to a communication store is to switch to one of the tariffs from the Vodafone Red Business line. Those subscribers who are already served under the business tariff, but want to switch to another, can contact the Personal Manager or resolve this issue by calling a special number 0(800)-400-007.

Detailed analysis of the current plan

At the beginning of 2021, Vodafone transferred all subscribers to the “Standard” tariff whose old, outdated communication offers were expiring. All conditions for switching to “Standard” were described in a text message that was sent to all Vodafone subscribers. If the conditions provided were not suitable, the subscriber could change the tariff.

First of all, the tariff provides for payment of 3 hryvnia per day of using the services. The fee is fixed.

For a standard fee you receive the following services per day:

• mobile internet in 3g format;
• free calls within the Vodafone network;
• sending MMS and SMS.

In addition to standard services per day, it is possible to connect additional services, which will allow you to call abroad and save money.

The fee for services during the day is fixed:

• to call a subscriber to any operator in Ukraine - 1.50 hryvnia for 1 minute of conversation;
• sending a message to Ukrainian operators will cost 1 hryvnia per 1 piece;
• mobile Internet in the amount of 50 MB. But, if the subscriber uses them in a day, then he will be provided with the next 100 MB for 5 hryvnia.

RED EXTRA S, XS, M, L

Tariffs included in the “Red Extra” line from Vodafone Ukraine are focused exclusively on the needs of the company’s clients and can create the optimal offer for each subscriber.

The “Red XS” tariff is a prepaid plan, using which the subscriber gets access to several unique opportunities: he can communicate for free with clients of MTS and Vodafone Ukraine, as well as access the Internet from a mobile device, that is, immediately respond to any emerging events and stay in touch with family and friends.

Conditions:

The “Red S” tariff is a prepaid plan that is the most popular among Vodafone Ukraine subscribers in the entire line. This fact is ensured by a suitable ratio of the quantity and quality of services provided and cost.

Conditions:

• the monthly fee is seventy hryvnia;
• unlimited calls within Vodafone Ukraine's own network;
• unlimited use of popular social networks and instant messengers;
• 4000 megabytes for the Internet in 2G and 3G networks;
• an hour and fifteen minutes to communicate with subscribers of other Ukrainian operators;
• twenty-five minutes for calls abroad;

Tariff “Red M” is a unique tariff offer with roaming and the possibility of unlimited communication with subscribers of the Vodafone Ukraine operator located abroad. This is the maximum tariff, which also includes high-speed Internet on the 3G network.

Conditions:

• monthly fee in the amount of one hundred and ten hryvnia;
• unlimited calls made through Vodafone Ukraine network;
• unlimited use of popular social networks and instant messengers;

Who is it suitable for?

We have to agree that the set of services provided for the day does not look very tempting and attractive. But most likely only for those who use the Internet daily and in large quantities.

If you are not satisfied with 50 MB, but using the mobile Internet is not so necessary for you, then 500 MB, which is provided for a month after replenishing the account with the full amount, will be quite enough.

But, this tariff is the only option for residents of Lugansk and Donetsk. Because the operation of the equipment in some areas is not entirely stable.

Brief conclusion

Vodafone is a group of companies that provide mobile communication services. This progressive brand is one of the world leaders in this segment.

Vodafone Ukraine offers cheap international calls, affordable high-speed Internet, unlimited internet and many other interesting opportunities. Like other operators, Vodafone has provided different tariff plans that are adapted to the different needs of subscribers (no need to overpay for what you don’t use).

You can use the number without topping up for quite a long period, but still, for the full operation of your phone, it is worth taking advantage of some offer.

Advantages and features of the tariff

Still, as was said, the main advantage is unlimited communication among subscribers of the Vodafone network. The second advantage of the tariff is a fixed fee for calls within the network and it is debited daily. This makes it possible to adjust the ordered services.

If a subscriber wants to connect to a different tariff because the “Standard” package is not suitable for him. For residents of Donbass, a transition to other tariffs is not provided and this package of services is the only alternative option.

If, before switching to the “Smartphone Standard” tariff, the subscriber pays for an annual package of services, then the funds will be returned to his balance. Or a more favorable rate will be offered.

If the subscriber has not used all the traffic in a day, the subscription fee will be charged for a new service package for the next day.

Methods for connecting Vodafone tariffs for the Lugansk region

If a subscriber has been using the services of Vodafone (MTS) for a long time, he will not have to think about connecting to a tariff plan, since the transition will occur automatically. The rest should visit the company’s office and purchase a new SIM card.

It is important to consider that:

• when connecting, the tariff plan contains the “Beep” option, which after 7 days becomes paid (3.5 UAH per day);
• The operator does not allow residents of Donbass to connect.

You need to know that initially subscribers are connected to the daily version of the tariff. To change conditions and manage services, special commands are used:

• to sign up for a monthly subscription *101*901#;
• to check the remaining Internet in the package *101*901*1#.

In Donetsk region

There are no differences between connecting to the Vodafone tariff for Lugansk and Donetsk, since they make no sense. However, it is impossible to switch from “Smartphone Standard” to any other tariff plan. The operator did not provide such an opportunity, so if the cost seems too high to the subscriber, he will have to turn to another operator.

You can disable the activation of additional packages in your personal account.

How to switch to a standard smartphone

If the subscriber has just connected to the Vodafone mobile network, it is enough to simply activate the purchased starter package and enter a standard four-digit PIN code. If the subscriber uses a different tariff plan, then the transition is possible using the USSD command - *101*901#.

The second way to switch to the tariff you want is to call the voice service and talk to an operator. The number for free communication is 111, and if you don’t want to wait, you can call a paid one - 555. When you call this number, the following pricing applies: free, the first 20 seconds are absolutely free, and each subsequent second will cost 50 kopecks.

Before switching to the chosen tariff, you should check your balance and make sure you have funds.

How to connect Vodafone Device S

To connect Vodafone Device S, you need:

1. get the starter package Device M;
2. dial the service number 111 and activate the SIM card;
3. enter the special USSD command *500*7#;
4. Check for notifications confirming the change in tariff from M to S.

If you make the transition within a year after purchasing the starter package, you will not need to pay additional money for a change of minds.

The telephone company charges a subscription fee for over-insurance of more services. The debit from the SIM card balance will be debited every month, and the payment amount will be 50 hryvnia. It is also important to note that the costs will be spent, if the subscriber goes beyond the scope of the packages provided, then the exact amount of the costs will lie inclusive of the client’s activity.

Basic conditions

In other words, “Smartphone standard” is the basic tariff for all Vodafone subscribers in Ukraine. You can switch to a more favorable tariff yourself or through a call center employee, including light+,

Transition is impossible for residents of Donbass. And the package of services has no alternative. To make the transition you need to enter the PIN code from the SIM card or call the operator.

Yes, and the fee is fixed, and is charged daily. And it doesn’t matter whether the fact of using the services of the package was within 24 hours. Taking into account that calls for Vodafone subscribers are free, and to numbers of other Ukrainian operators - 1.50 hryvnia per 1 minute.

You need to pay for tariff services either monthly or pay a daily tariff. This method is suitable for those subscribers who cannot use the services for the whole month.

Content service management

In 2021, Vodafone provides not only communication services, but also all kinds of information. To use such services, you must first subscribe to them.

It happens that subscribers accidentally subscribe to mailings from the operator that they absolutely do not need. To check this, you should send an SMS to number 2828. The text is not important, and the message itself is free.

Soon after this, the system will send a response message indicating all active subscriptions. As well as instructions on how to disable unnecessary services. If the user has not yet subscribed to anything, the message “No active subscriptions” will appear.

For example, a subscriber does not want to receive information about the weather in Kyiv from Vodafone. Then he should send the message “stop” to the number 5645. The company notes that some archival services may be connected, but not displayed upon request. In this case, you will have to call the operator’s contact center directly.

Additional services in the tariff

The tariff also has several additional options that may be useful - this is GOOD`OK “Zero abroad”. If you activate calls abroad, the subscriber will be given the opportunity to communicate with foreign countries for 10 minutes per day. If the minutes are used up for the day the following will cost:

• Russian Federation - 2 hryvnia per 1 minute;
• Europe - 25 hryvnia per 1 minute.

The GOODOK option is already included in the tariff plan for subscribers of the occupied territories. This is a standard application, which is provided free of charge for the first week, and then it is renewed automatically and will cost 3.19 hryvnia for the next 7 days.

To deactivate the service, do the following:

• send the text message “OFF” to the short number 700.
