Hi, can i use roaming in Ukraine now?

I am currently in Ukraine. Could you please let me to know if i can use my data as if I was back in the UK.

Calls and texts are free from and in Ukraine now?

@Ayusik Had confirmation that Ukraine is still free rated - if this changes in the future they will inform all customers.

Thank you, I can see this now as well. However, when I signed up for the contract a year ago, I specifically checked, and calls to and from Ukraine were free. Since I frequently visit Ukraine, this was an important factor in choosing ID Mobile.

Now, with these changes, I may need to switch to another provider, even though my contract is for two years.

Could you please clarify if there are any options available to keep the previous terms or mitigate these charges?

It was free upto at least 3 months ago but not 100% sure it still is.

@Ayusik I have contacted a moderator for clarification but in the meantime you can use the iD online Live Chat service, to speak to a customer adviser to ask your question.

The advisers work until 8pm on weekdays - just tell the 24/7 chatbot you’d like to “talk to a person”.
