Mobile Number Portability in Ukraine to Be Suspended: Here’s When and Why.

Temporary Freeze on Mobile Number Porting Service

According to Novyny.live: From June 29 to July 1, 2026, Ukraine will temporarily halt its mobile number portability service. The suspension will take effect at 08:30 on June 29 and last until 17:30 on July 1, with the service resuming at 08:30 on July 2, 2026. During this window, subscribers of major mobile operators—including Kyivstar, Vodafone, lifecell, and other providers—will be unable to transfer their numbers.

In other news, consumers can take advantage of reduced pricing on several tariff plans:

• The 'VSE RAZOM Legkiy' plan now costs 290 UAH per month, down from 370 UAH.
• The 'VSE RAZOM Krutiy' plan is available for 350 UAH per month, reduced from 450 UAH.
• The 'Flexx GO' plan has been lowered to 280 UAH per month, compared to its previous price of 350 UAH.
• The 'Flexx TOP' plan is now priced at 350 UAH per month, down from 450 UAH.
• lifecell's 'Maksi' package costs 270 UAH per month, a drop from 400 UAH.
• The 'Mega' plan is offered at 350 UAH per month, reduced from 550 UAH.

What else should Ukrainians keep in mind? Starting July 1, 2026, Kyivstar will discontinue two account top-up methods. This change could affect how conveniently subscribers manage their services, so staying informed is advised.

This temporary suspension of number porting is a key step in advancing Ukraine's mobile telecommunications infrastructure, as it will enable technical upgrades to enhance service quality. Customers should plan accordingly around these dates to avoid any disruptions. The price cuts on tariff plans may encourage users to switch providers or explore new options, reflecting healthy competition in the mobile market. At the same time, the closure of certain top-up channels could impact service accessibility for some users, requiring them to pay extra attention to available alternatives.
