Kyivstar to Increase Prices for Select Plans in March 2026.

Kyivstar Announces Tariff Adjustments

According to Novyny.live: Mobile operator Kyivstar will raise the monthly cost for a range of its older, archived tariff plans starting March 1, 2026. This price adjustment is a common industry practice for legacy plans and will see affected subscribers paying an additional 50 to 90 Ukrainian hryvnias. The change is expected to impact a significant number of users who have remained on these outdated packages.

Plans Subject to the Price Increase

The specific legacy plans facing the increase include:

• 'Smachnyy' (Tasty)
• 'Bez Mezh lite' (Unlimited Lite)
• 'TVIY Ulyublenyy' (Your Favorite)
• 'LOVE UA Basic'
• 'Bezlim Sotsmerezh' (Unlimited Social Networks)
• 'Kyivstar Komfort 2018' (Comfort 2018)
• 'LOVE UA Svoboda / Svoboda 2022' (Freedom)

To ensure customers are informed, Kyivstar will begin sending out notifications about these tariff changes this week, allowing users time to prepare for the new billing amounts or consider alternative options.

In a separate promotional offer, the company is also running a discount on 'vanity phone numbers' until February 28, 2026. Subscribers can purchase a specially selected number for approximately 400 hryvnias, a reduction of about 35% from the standard price of 600 hryvnias. This promotion may appeal to users looking to switch numbers or upgrade their service concurrently with the tariff changes.

The tariff increase by Kyivstar could serve as an important signal for users of other mobile operators, who may also consider adjusting their pricing strategies. - Source unknown

Given that the changes target archived plans, subscribers still using them may find it necessary to explore more current and potentially cost-effective market offers. The concurrent vanity number sale could further stimulate activity in the subscriber number segment, potentially intensifying competition among mobile carriers in the region.

Consequently, from March 1, 2026, Kyivstar customers should anticipate adjustments to their plan costs, particularly those utilizing older, archived tariff structures.
