With MNP in Ukraine, your number belongs to you, rather than operators!
Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is porting your mobile number along with the code to another operator. If the number starts with 067, 097, 066, 050 or any other code, it will remain the same after it's ported.
If you are in doubt, whether you should port, you can compare your operator's (Vodafone, Kyivstar) tariffs to lifecell's tariffs and your doubts will be dispelled😊
For subscribers of Vodafone!
