Kyivstar, Ukraine’s leading mobile operator, will launch a comprehensive tariff overhaul on 21 January 2026, ending new sign‑ups for its “All‑together” bundles, revising European call rates, and adjusting roaming fees. At the same time, 70 % of its network runs on backup power, ensuring service continuity despite ongoing energy challenges.
Key Changes to Kyivstar Tariffs
Discontinuation of “All‑together” Bundles
The “All‑together” family of prepaid and postpaid plans will no longer be available to new customers. Existing subscribers keep their current contracts until the end of the billing cycle, after which they will need to select individual voice, data, or TV options.
Revised “Business 24” European Call Rates
Kyivstar’s “Business 24” package will feature updated pricing for outbound calls to European destinations. While exact figures are pending, the change aims to reflect higher wholesale termination costs and to maintain competitive pricing for corporate users.
Roaming and TV Add‑On Adjustments
All roaming tariffs are being refreshed across the board, with new rates applied to both prepaid and postpaid customers. The TV component previously bundled with “All‑together Basic + TV” will now require a separate subscription request.
Network Resilience During the Transition
Kyivstar reports that roughly 70 % of its cellular infrastructure operates in “normal mode,” supported by emergency generators and battery systems. This reserve power strategy mitigates potential outages and guarantees uninterrupted mobile service throughout the tariff rollout.
Impact on Consumers and Enterprises
- Existing “All‑together” customers: contracts remain unchanged until the current billing period ends.
- New customers: must build a custom package from separate voice, data, and TV services, which may affect overall cost.
- Business users: revised European call rates could increase expenses for cross‑border communications.
- Service continuity: backup generators keep the majority of the network functional, protecting both personal and business connectivity.
Future Outlook and Market Implications
The shift from bundled “all‑in‑one” offers to modular plans positions Kyivstar to better respond to inflationary pressures and evolving user habits. Analysts will monitor how the new pricing structure influences subscriber churn, average revenue per user (ARPU), and competitive dynamics within Ukraine’s telecom sector. Maintaining a resilient network with backup power will remain a critical factor for customer trust and market leadership.
