“The eSIM worked perfectly during my trip around Europe. It was very easy to install, connected as soon as I arrived, and the internet was fast and reliable everywhere I went. It made travelling much easier because I did not need to buy local SIM cards. Very convenient and worth the price. I would definitely use it again.”

Buy eSIM data plans for Ukraine

A Ukraine eSIM is a prepaid mobile-data plan for your trip. Install it on a compatible, carrier-unlocked phone before departure, then select it as your data line within the plan's coverage area.

A Ukraine eSIM provides prepaid mobile data for family visits, work and essential journeys without replacing your regular SIM. Install it before departure so maps, rail updates, accommodation details and messaging are ready when mobile service is available. Conditions and connectivity can change quickly, so follow official travel and safety guidance and save critical information offline.

How eSIM works in Ukraine

Choose a data plan for Ukraine, install the eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before your trip, and follow the selected plan’s activation instructions. Your regular SIM can stay in your phone, while the eSIM gives you mobile data for travel apps, messaging, maps and browsing.

  1. Buy a plan

    Pick a destination, data allowance and validity period.

  2. Install your eSIM

    Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.

  3. Land & connect

    Data activates on first connection at your destination.

Size it to your trip

Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.

As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.

In total, a 3 GB data allowance covers roughly 1,000 shared photos, 50 hours of social media and browsing, 8.8 hours of video calls, 38 hours of music streaming, or about 600 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.

Important cities in Ukraine

Kyiv · City guide

Kyiv

Kyiv covers a wide area on both banks of the Dnipro, so saved addresses and current route information matter. A Kyiv eSIM lets you check public-transport updates, retrieve bookings and message family or colleagues while mobile service is operating. Keep essential contacts and directions downloaded too, because local disruptions can occur without notice.

Why Horizon

Why choose our eSIM for Ukraine

An eSIM keeps navigation, transport information and messaging available on one device while your usual SIM remains in place. It helps when arrangements change and you need current information, but mobile data is not a substitute for official alerts, emergency services or an offline backup plan.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose and buy a Ukraine eSIM plan?

Compare the live data allowances and validity periods on this page, then choose a plan that fits your journey. Complete checkout online and keep the installation details offline. Current plans and prices are shown here, so check the page again before purchasing.

Can mobile service be disrupted in Ukraine?

Yes. Availability can change because of local conditions, power interruptions or infrastructure damage, and no eSIM can guarantee continuous service. Download maps, tickets, addresses and emergency contacts before each journey, and follow official local instructions.

Is an eSIM a replacement for emergency communications?

No. This is a data product for ordinary internet access, not an emergency or safety service. Keep official alerts enabled, save local emergency numbers and arrange an offline communication plan. Use emergency services and official channels when help is needed.

Does a Ukraine-only eSIM work across borders?

A country plan is intended for use inside Ukraine. If your route crosses a border, review the exact included-country list for a regional product before buying. Do not assume a country eSIM remains connected outside its listed destination.

When should I install my Ukraine eSIM, and can I keep my number?

Install it before departure over reliable Wi-Fi and save the QR code offline; installing does not start validity, which does not begin until the eSIM first connects to a supported mobile network in Ukraine. On an unlocked dual-SIM phone, the data-only eSIM can work alongside your regular SIM, leaving your number available under your home plan.

Does the Ukraine eSIM include calls and texts?

No. Horizon plans are data-only, with no phone number for calls or texts. Use apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime over the eSIM's data, or keep your usual SIM on for ordinary calls and texts.

Do I need to turn on data roaming for the Ukraine eSIM?

Yes. A travel eSIM connects to local networks as a roaming line, so turn on data roaming for the Horizon eSIM when you arrive. The plan is prepaid, so Horizon does not bill you after checkout. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM to avoid charges from your home carrier.

What happens if I run out of data on the Ukraine eSIM?

You can buy more. If your plan supports a top-up, My eSIMs shows the data you can add to the same eSIM. If it does not, buy another Ukraine plan and install it the same way.

Will my phone work with the Ukraine eSIM?

It will if your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to your home carrier. Many recent iPhone and Android models do, but some regional versions do not, so check your exact model on the supported devices page before you buy.

See supported devices
Will Horizon slow down my data?

No. Horizon fixed-data plans have no throttling. There is no daily limit that slows you down, so you can use your whole plan in one day if you need to. Your speed depends on the local network, your signal and how busy the network is. When your data allowance is used up, the plan stops rather than slowing down.

Can I get a refund if I already used some data?

Yes. We always refund the full amount you paid when you request it, whether your eSIM is unused, partly used or fully used. There is no time limit for requesting a refund.
