Ukraine joins the EU’s single mobile roaming area
Brussels, Jan. 2 (Hibya) – On January 1, Ukraine officially joined the European Union’s single roaming area, allowing Ukrainian citizens to use mobile phone services across the bloc without paying additional charges.
This accession marks the first time a country outside the EU has joined the single roaming area. Moldova also joined the mobile roaming area simultaneously on January 1.
Ukraine’s entry into the single roaming area fulfills one of the conditions required for the country’s European integration in the field of electronic communications. This step represents a symbolic achievement for Ukraine at a time when it continues to implement reforms aimed at EU membership.
The agreement, which officially entered into force on January 1 under the “Roaming Like at Home” (RLAH) program, guarantees that Ukrainians will not have to pay additional fees for calls, messages, or mobile data access in the 27 EU countries.
The same rules will also apply to users of European operators traveling to Ukraine.
