• Extraordinary minutes on Kyivstar - how to order, accrual. “Online” tariffs for modern users from Kyivstar

    Hello friends! Today, a friend brought me about 100 Kyivstar starter packs. The first task that I had was to make sure that when calling each card, the subscriber would be directed to 1 specific number. Another thing that interested me was to compile a list of numbers and check the action lines.

    Since I have been using the Internet for several years now, the first thing I did was go to the official website of this operator - I wanted to find out the most basic USSD requests that the operator works with.

    But it turns out that there is no such information in full form - you are looking for a service - and already in the description of the service you are shown a request for activation, status, or deactivation of the service.

    Personally, such a presentation of information seems completely ridiculous and inconvenient to me, since I, a user of another operator, might not know exactly what this or that service is called.

    Then a call was made to service number 466 and after 5 minutes I was successfully connected to the CALL center operator. But it turns out that the operator himself is lost in such questions - and asks to wait a few minutes for each question. In the end, I had to surf the forums and find out what the support service had to offer me...

    It is for this reason that I decided to publish here the list I obtained through difficult efforts - and if you know any other combinations - please add - we will succeed full base USSD requests of Kyivstar, which in the future will probably become useful to many users.

    The first request that I needed was call forwarding - it is carried out using the combination *002*8067# and a call key - instead of 8067, set any phone number. I would like to note that if you dial this combination without changes, the subscriber will hear something like this from the answering machine: " You dialed the wrong number. Turn it over again and re-phone! ". This combination, saved in phone book very useful when you want no one to disturb you, especially since it can be installed with one click and removed with one click (if the phone book contains the combination for removing call forwards ##002#). It was this Kyivstar USSD request that I had to use on all packages in order to forward to one number.

    Her one combination that I had to remember is this *161# and the call key is this request displays the phone number of the current SIM card . It is very convenient to use it when you don’t remember your phone number, but go to the terminal to top up your account, or when you need to leave your phone number to someone you know. Typed it in and you're done. I, in turn, typed this combination to know. which card corresponds to which number - and having learned the number - in the database, assigned an identifier to the number, for example, the number 1, and drew this number on the card with a marker - this case made it possible quick search phone numbers of a specific card - and you no longer have to spend so much time identifying the numbers.

    It was also time for what was needed find out the expiration date- it turns out that Kyivstar specialists have outdated information, as they say that after checking account status using the combination *111# In response to the request, you will receive the amount of remaining funds and the validity period of the number. This is not entirely true - in lately The expiration date is not displayed, and you can check it combination USSD request *114# and a call key. By the way, operators say that to extend the validity period, you must top up your account with a minimum top-up voucher - but it turns out that in order to extend the life of a SIM card, you just need to make a call to any number and talk for more than 1 second. If the card has 5 free minutes for all numbers, then in fact, without replenishing the account, you can use the number for about 50 years (one call extends it for a year!).

    And one more request that I really liked is exact time. Since my phone is buggy, and even when I had to rearrange all the cards one by one, the time was lost - and the Kyivstar USSD request *160# helped me find out the exact time - shows Kiev time and date accurate to seconds.

    There are still large number USSD requests that KYIVSTAR works with - for example, activation of various services, replenishing an account, transferring money, determining the location of a subscriber and others - I would like to read them in the comments - since the size of the article is not unlimited.

    Here is a list of Kyivstar USSD collected on various forums and the official website:

    *130*[telephone number]# call me back service.

    Used to send a FREE SMS to the Kyivstar number with a request to call back. We came up with this service so that if the user runs out of money, he can still stay in touch (so that the other subscriber can spend money on calling a friend). The number of such requests is limited to 8 per month. Further, if you want to send such a request, the operator will charge a fee of 10 kopecks for each subsequent request.

    After sending a USSD request *130*[phone number]# the subscriber will receive this SMS message with the notification: “Please call back to my number [phone number]” and, if desired, the subscriber will be able to call you back.

    *131*[phone number]# call me back service (roaming).

    Previously, this request could be used when attempts to send *130*... B at the moment that the first and second combinations are similar and they send a similar text as in the screenshot above.

    *124*[amount multiple of 1 UAH]*[telephone number]# funds transfer

    This service is used to send money to any Kyivstar subscriber. Initially, this service was free, but over time the price for each operation varied from 30 kopecks to 2.50 hryvnia. At the moment, the popularity of the service has fallen precisely because of the crazy tariffs - after all, replenishing an account through WebMoney or Privat24 is much easier, and no additional commissions are charged.

    *123*[card code]# account replenishment

    Previously, you could only top up your phone account using a top-up card. Then, we introduced the “Transfer of Funds” service using a USSD request. Now you can top up your account using various terminals that are located on every corner, ATMs, payment systems - I think topping up with cards is already dying out...

    *126*[card code]*[phone number]# top up another account

    It's just a wonderful combination. As for tariffs today, I don’t even know - but I remember Magic numbers, operator replenishment services and similar scams that made amazing fraudulent combinations using this USSD request...

    *111# balance check

    This is probably the most popular combination that even a first-grader knows. The fact is that when money runs out, a person is left without the opportunity to call. In order to be able to find out the amount of funds, the Kyivstar company came up with this combination. By the way, for ease of remembering, it was intended that the PIN code is four units, and checking the account status is three units.

    *100# order services

    Probably everyone at one time or another has seen the “SIM menu” section in the phone menu. So, even if this menu is not there, then with this combination you can call it up and order, for example, a melody or something else (for example, find out the exchange rate). But the whole point is that they charge money for such an elementary operation, and it seems to me that using this menu is simply irrational.

    *112# checking the status of free minutes/bonuses (Corporation)

    I have full unlimited Business 150 (corporate) - but my wife’s situation is a little different. She is credited with 300 minutes within the corporation and subscriber group, as well as 100 minutes to all other numbers. It is precisely in order to monitor these limits that she uses this Kyivstar USSD request every day.

    *112*2# checking the status of the “Daily Happy Hour” service (Corporation)

    It seems to me that this is not a very relevant request - but perhaps someone who uses the Happy Hour service will be right on topic!

    *110# checking the number of bonuses/hryvnia/transferred from users " home internet"to pay for mobile communications and mobile Internet on this number

    This USSD request is for those who have home Internet from Kyivstar. I would like to remind you that the money spent on the Internet can be used a second time for calls. In order to check the amount of money that someone from the owners of this Internet gave you, they came up with the request *110#. Why check, you say? Because after it gets into your mobile account, this money has an action line... It would be a pity if they just disappeared...

    *100*01*2# Your tariff

    Let's say you bought starter pack and you don’t know what the tariff plan is. You can of course call the operator at toll free number 466 and press 3, then 9 - but this will take about 1-2 minutes. But using *100*01*02# the current tariff plan of this number from which the request was made will be displayed. It's convenient and fast.

    *194# checking the possibility of switching from pre-paid to contract

    In Kyivstar, after entering this USSD request, it is immediately displayed that the migration application has been accepted. Well, then, if you wish, you can go and write an application to switch to a contract.

    *118# *119# check bonus status

    USSD request *118#- displays how much free SMS is in stock and on what lines. USSD request *119#- displays the quantity bonus money and action lines.

    *113*6# disable function automatic notification about the balance

    Sometimes I get very tired of these morning messages that the amount of money, for example, is less than 100 hryvnia. And if they are in translit, it actually kills.... So I learned how to change translit information messages into Cyrillic - and with this USSD request I learned to refuse intrusive mailings.

    *155# Djuice Discount
    *160# exact time

    It happens that the phone will fall, the battery will jump out - and the time will not be saved after switching on. Then you have to run around and ask your friends what time it is to set up your phone. After I found out that there is such a USSD request in Kyivstar, this issue stopped worrying me - I started using it at any time. convenient time. For example, I'm waiting for a train - the clock may not show the exact time. I made a request - and I know 100% that I won’t be late...

    *161# Your phone number

    Above, at the beginning of the article, he writes that if you sort through 100-300 packages, then this small key combination can simply save you from an insane loss of time and nerves. And if you need to give someone your phone number, but you don’t know it by heart, just enter this combination and the number will be shown on the phone’s display.

    *117*1# order "ExtraMoney"
    *117*2# check "ExtraMoney"
    *109# extra money, account check
    ##002# Cancel all types of forwarding

    I know that's not all USSD requests Kyivstar- and there are several more service ones - but about them in another publication...

    And believe me, this is not the whole list...

    Many subscribers do not have enough daily minutes for communication, what should be done in this case. The operator has a solution for this case too. New service, which allows us to solve this issue is called “ Communication Day" By the way, any subscriber can connect it an unlimited number of times, which allows it to be used as flexibly as possible.

    The ability to connect for different validity periods (and this can be done for a day, seven days and fourteen days) allows you to use the service as conveniently as possible. Connection and activation occur quite quickly. The most important thing is that after connecting, the subscriber no longer pays for outgoing calls to Kyivstar numbers and for connection.

    It is worth paying attention to the fact that the service will work in the case when the subscriber’s account was topped up one-time with an amount of 40 UAH or more. Otherwise, its operation will not be activated.

    If you cannot connect, you can call the number 477*94 and with the help voice menu activate this service for the required period. The service is activated within 24 hours from the moment the application is submitted. The subscriber will be informed about the connection.

    Tariffing for the “Day of Communication” service

    Ordering a service for 1 day (from the moment of order until 23.59) will cost 2.99 UAH. When ordering for 7 days, the cost of the order will be 17.99 UAH.

    Connecting the Kyivstar tariff online

    Activating a tariff plan is very simple, you can simply purchase a SIM card with it and top up your account with 70 UAH and no longer transfer funds in a single payment. If there is a different tariff, then just call 477*1 or through the my Kyivstar system and apply for a replacement. As soon as there are enough funds, the application will be completed and an SMS confirmation will be sent. Subsequently, subscription fees will be charged monthly on the same date as the first time.

    Tariff plan terms

    Kyivstar is one of the key operators mobile communications in Ukraine. The “Online” offer is very popular, as it gives its subscribers not only the opportunity to communicate by phone, but also provides access to the World Wide Web on favorable terms. Kyivstar presented the line in two tariffs: “Online” and “Online +”. Let's consider each of them separately, tell you about the tariff conditions, additional features, as well as connection methods.

    "Online"

    The first option can be called basic, and it is suitable for those who not only call numbers different operators, but is also an active user mobile internet at excellent speed. Not many megabytes are provided for Internet surfing, but the operator offers to use additional optional features if necessary.

    The monthly payment for using services on this tariff plan is 70 hryvnia.

    Let's figure out what is offered in exchange for this fee. Distinctive Features tariff:

    1. Communication between subscribers within the Kyivstar network has no restrictions, which is one of the decisive parameters for many users.
    2. Calls to numbers of other operators within the package include only 60 minutes, but for many this volume is enough.
    3. Subscribers have access to 2 GB of Internet traffic per high speed. Also, as a gift, you will receive an additional 1 GB every month for six months. Unused bonus volume is not carried over to the next period. The promotion is valid for those who have connected since April 6, 2017.

    A pleasant bonus for users was access to educational services, the traffic from which is not charged.

    Thus, subscribers receive “ Knowledge without borders"and can freely study materials on Wikipedia, read books from electronic libraries MyBook and Smart KyivStar. Another opportunity from Kyivstar – “ Social networks without restrictions" For communication in social networks and messengers you won’t have to pay.

    Prices for other communication services:

    1. The cost of a minute to numbers of other operators after 60 prepaid ones will be 0.6 UAH.
    2. If necessary, you can call landline numbers for 1.5 UAH per minute.
    3. Outgoing calls to subscribers from other countries will cost from 0.5 UAH per minute when activating the service " Favorite countries" The list includes no more than 3 countries, for each connection you will have to pay 5 UAH. There is no monthly fee, but the connection cost will cost 2 UAH. Prices for different destinations can be found on the operator’s website. Among the most profitable, it is worth noting China, India, Canada - 0.5 UAH per minute.
    4. The first 50 SMS per day and MMS to Ukrainian numbers have a single price - 1 UAH, but messages sent abroad will cost much more - 2, 2 and 5 UAH.

      If 50 SMS messages per day within Ukraine are not enough for you, then you can additionally connect up to 95 packages of 10 SMS per day, the price of each package is 1 UAH.

    5. Additional megabytes after the prepaid and bonus volumes are exhausted will be credited in packages of 50 MB per day - for 5 UAH. No more than 5 packages can be activated per day.

    "Online Plus"

    This is actually an extended version starting tariff"Online". For a larger amount, a larger range of services is provided, thus covering the needs of the most sociable subscribers. After all, 2 GB for Internet surfing and 60 minutes for other networks may not be enough for many. And constant exceeding of limits and tariffing at prices for additional services can lead to an undesirable increase in costs for communication services.

    The “Plus” offer will cost already 110 UAH per month. Let's look at what its main differences are from the first option, and what exactly subscribers get for this amount:

    1. Unlimited calls within the network remain.
    2. The volume of Internet traffic has been increased to 4 GB. Moreover, there are also more bonus megabytes - 2000.
    3. For calls to subscribers of other operators, instead of 60 starting minutes, 100 are given.

    Kyivstar gives free access to music Zvooq services, Yandex.Music, Deezer and Fonoteka.

    All others additional services: minutes, SMS and megabytes above the package, as well as calls to other countries have exactly the same prices as in the starting offer.

    Internet options

    If there is not enough traffic, you can connect one of available options to save on surfing:

    1. Additional package for 1 GB for 40 UAH for “Online” and 2 GB for 60 UAH for “Online +”. To activate, dial *230#.
    2. « Night"is 10 GB for only 30 UAH, but its effect only applies from 0 to 8 am. The connection command is *266*1#.

    Connecting tariffs “Online”

    To activate, new users should contact the nearest operator store to purchase a SIM card with the desired tariff plan.

    For those who are already connected to the Kyivstar network, it is enough to make the transition using the “ My Kyivstar" The procedure is very simple, performed in a few clicks, so it does not take much time. Another convenient and quick way– call a special short number:

    • “Online” - 477*1;
    • “Online +” - 477*1.

    Both tariff plan“Online” lines are popular in Ukraine. Possibility of choosing an option with the right set services also arouses the favor of subscribers. Unlimited communication within the network, and a sufficient amount of Internet traffic are important criteria when choosing an offer for many. Additional savings from Kyivstar in the form of promotions and non-tariffed useful services attracts users no less. Among other things, you can always activate tariff options and thus optimize your own communication costs.

    Many subscribers do not have enough daily minutes for communication, what should be done in this case. The operator has a solution for this case too. A new service that allows you to solve this issue is called “ Communication Day" By the way, any subscriber can connect it an unlimited number of times, which allows it to be used as flexibly as possible.
