What is roaming?

The tariffs on the international roaming service for MTS contract subscribers.

MTS subscribers that have activated the service in international roaming may call and receive calls using their mobile phone in other countries the same way they do it in Ukraine.

It is called Roaming, which is automatic in the most cases: when you are abroad, you simply turn your phone on and have connection! It is possible owing to MTS roaming-partners, which work worldwide.

Roaming is a non-stop automatic service to a subscriber who travels from one operator network to another.

The access to the  international roaming is  processed  free if you are  subscribing at MTS shops.

To open international roaming, please, contact MTS Service Center 24 hours around:

  • from a mobile phone at the number 111;
  • from a stationary or mobile phone at the number 8 044 240 0000 (call cost in accordance with the chosen MTS tariff).

 

How does roaming work?

Turn on your phone  just  after you arrived abroad and the telephone will find the network automatically.

MTS constantly increases roaming partners network by making two-sides agreements with foreign operators. It gives MTS subscribers an opportunity to use their phones in other countries and subscribers of these operators – in Ukraine.

 

One number – one world

Where ever you go you do not have to change your number. Where ever you are in our global roaming network, your relatives, friends and colleagues will call you at your constant mobile number – the call will be re-addressed automatically.

In order to make call from abroad, dial international access number before the number you call: + 380 < area code or network code within Ukraine without zero in front > < phone number >

For example, in order to call Kyiv, Ukraine, dial +380 44 ÕÕÕ ÕÕÕ, which is:

  • + is a sign which is used in mobile telephones of GSM standard to substitute access code from any country;
  • 380  – international code of Ukraine;
  • 44 code of Kyiv;
  • ÕÕÕ ÕÕ ÕÕ telephone number of a subscriber.

 

During your international trip contact MTS Service Center for help 24 hours around at:

  • from a mobile phone at the number 111;
  • from a stationary or mobile phone at the number +380 50 240 0000 *.

 

* The call on number 111 is free of charge within Ukraine. The call on number +380 50 240 0000 within Ukraine is paid according to the tariff plan of the subscriber.
The call on these numbers from roaming is rated by a following rule: the first minute of conversation is free of charge, tariffing since the second minute is under tariffs for calls to Ukraine according to a zone of stay of the subscriber.
