Vodafone has launched a new offer for the older audience – a special tariff. The promotion is called “POVAGA” and allows you to connect on favorable terms with a fixed monthly payment, as well as switch to the network without changing your number.
What do you need to know about the new Vodafone tariff?
The program started on April 16, 2026 and will last until May 31, Vodafone reported.
It is during this period that you can register for a connection and “fix” the tariff cost for the whole year. The main feature of the offer is a stable price that will not change:
- The subscription fee is 200 hryvnias per month and will not change for 12 months after connection.
- Connection occurs within the Flexx GO contract tariff.
Another important point is the ability to switch to an operator with your old number. To do this, you need to use the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) service.
However, there are clear restrictions for those who want to use the tariff: it is available to people over 55 years old, and during registration the operator checks compliance with this criterion. There is also another condition – you can use the promotion only once. How to activate a new tariff:
Apply for number porting to the Vodafone network;
- To conclude a contract;
- Top up your account with 200 hryvnias.
- After that, the tariff is automatically activated.
Why are mobile tariffs increasing in Ukraine and what are the prices in Europe?
Market participants explain that this is not only a commercial decision, but also an issue of infrastructure stability in conditions of war and economic pressure. According to economist and telecom market expert Anatoly Amelin, Ukrainian mobile communications today demonstrate a quality that often exceeds the performance of European and even American operators.
Ukrainian mobile internet and communication are head and shoulders above European and even more so American! Seriously. In Berlin I caught 4G intermittently. In the city center! In Washington the speed sometimes made me nervously refresh the page,
– he notes.
At the same time, the price of mobile communications in Ukraine remains one of the lowest in the world. As of the beginning of 2026, the average cost of tariffs with a mobile Internet package of 20-40 GB is about 7-8.5 euros per month. For comparison: in Germany, similar services cost 30-40 euros, in France – about 20 euros, in Poland – 10-12 euros.
However, the low price also has a downside. Over the past two years, Ukrainian operators have been forced to invest significantly in the energy independence of the network and its restoration after shelling.

What Ukrainian operators have built over the past two years has no analogues in the world. Nowhere. Not in any country(!): 100% of base stations – with batteries… at least 25% of stations in each region – with generators for 72 hours,
– explains Ameline.
