To attention of the subscribers from border areas of Ukraine!
Please note that in border areas of Ukraine the phone can find itself in an active zone of a foreign operator network and register there automatically. To reduce the possibility of the phone automatic registration in a foreign operator network and, thus, calls tariffication in accordance with roaming tariffs, we recommend to choose Kyivstar network manually and always pay attention to the name of an operator displayed on the screen of the mobile phone. As a rule, phone menu responsible for registration in the available networks is called «Network Choice» (further details are found in the manual for the mobile phone).
Adjust settings APN. For all Kyivstar subscribers APN — internet.

How to make a call or send SMS?
Use the international dialing format while being abroad:
[+] [country code] [city code / mobile network code] [subscriber’s number].

+ 380 67 ХХХХХХХ, where
«+» — international gate,
380 — code of Ukraine
67 — Kyivstar network code
