Kyivstar Favorite country is a service that allows you to make profitable calls abroad. It is easy to use and allows you to save a lot of money. In this article we will look at tariffs for some popular destinations, as well as general features regarding the option as a whole. So, let's go!
How to activate the service?
You can connect “Favorite Country” in several ways. Everyone chooses the most convenient option for themselves:
- Kyivstar service center
- Self-service system
- USSD request
What do you need to connect to the center?
If you don’t want to delve into the nuances, the easiest way is to find the nearest Kyivstar branch and visit it, taking your phone and passport (plus a power of attorney or other documents giving you the right to make any manipulations with the tariff plan, if your phone belongs to, for example , the organization you work for, not you personally). On-site service managers will fulfill any of your requests.
The official website will allow you to quickly find the nearest branch:
How to connect through the self-service system?
In the “Tariff Plans” tab on the official website we look for an available one.
By clicking the “Connect” button, you will be presented with a short form that will show in more detail the conditions for switching to a new tariff plan. If you agree to the changes, click the “Confirm” button. After one day, you will be able to use the new service.
How to send an application using USSD request?
The easiest and fastest way to get the service activated is to send a request using the combination:
*185*1*country code#
When we connect countries, the codes look like this:
- First country: *185*1*country code#
- Second: *185*2*country code#
- Third: *185*3*country code#
Comparison with MTS and Life
For comparison, let's take the above-mentioned services from MTS and Life. To talk for 10 minutes at the cheapest international rate using the Favorite Country service you need to spend 2 UAH + 0.5 * 10 = 7 UAH. And this is only for Beeline numbers. To make exactly the same call using the MTS 0 service abroad, you need to spend 4 UAH. Of these, 1 UAH is for connection and 3 UAH for using the service. Only to landline numbers for calls to mobiles the cost per minute is 1 UAH (MTS Russia) 3 UAH (other operators) To make a 10-minute call from a Life number, you need to spend 2 UAH connection + the first 6 minutes at 29 kopecks and 4 minutes at 69 kopecks . Total – 6.5 UAH. And this is only for landline numbers.
Disabling the service
Disabling a service is as easy as activating it. The methods are similar to the previous ones.
USSD request:
- Disabling the first country: *185*7#
- Disabling the second: *185*8#
- Disabling the third: *185*9#
The service will be disabled at the end of the calendar month, which Kyivstar will definitely inform you about in an SMS.
Changing country
A very convenient opportunity is to change countries when there is no longer a need to call one country, but there is a need to call another. Replacing one country with another will cost 10 hryvnia financially and will take less than a minute.
All you need is to send a USSD request:
- Replacing the first country: *185*4*new country code#
- Second replacement: *185*5*new country code#
- Replacement of the third: *185*6*new country code#

Who can tell me: this service is available only for subscribers who are served only on current (with the ability to connect to it now) tariff plans or on old ones too (for example, “Happy”)? At the office I didn’t find any information on the website, I can’t find anything similar in “My Kyivstar”, the phone is not physically available to me (from my relatives) Z.Y.: contract
To Yuri: NOT available for the Happy tariff plan.
Clarification: for contract subscribers it is available only for Unlimited tariff plans.
