Today, the Ukrainian mobile operators offer free traffic when using a large number of important applications. Vodafone has 38 apps, and Kyivstar has as many as 41.
The favorite apps include social networks and messengers, Diia and other government apps, and some educational programs. You can find the list on the operators’ websites. However, it is still quite difficult to track exactly when traffic is consumed through apps and when other data transfer takes place.
For example, here is what is written on Kyivstar‘s website: “We don’t charge gigabytes when you use the YouTube, Kyivstar TV, Netflix, MEGOGO, Disney+, Apple TV, Amazon Video, 1+1 video, Oll TV apps. Downloads, updates, subscriptions, in-app purchases, and advertising are charged separately.”
Operators use this tool mainly for marketing purposes. After all, they themselves have significantly reduced the supply of unlimited Internet.
