Vodafone Ukraine is a leading Ukrainian telecommunications company that provides services meeting the highest global standards.

The list of the company's services include mobile communications, high-speed 3G and 4G internet, fixed-line communications, and GPON-based internet. In Ukraine, Vodafone mobile services are used by 15.4 million customers.

Vodafone Ukraine was the first mobile operator to introduce wireless telecommunication technologies in Ukraine. Established on November 11, 1992, as “Ukrainian Mobile Communications” (UMC), the company started to provide mobile services on July 1, 1993. In 2015 the company signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Vodafone Group, one of the largest telecommunications operators in Europe and the world, and switched to operate under the global brand Vodafone in the Ukrainian market. In 2019, Vodafone Ukraine entered a new phase of development following its acquisition by NEQSOL Holding.

The company is one of the biggest investors in the Ukrainian economy. Its total investments in the country over the past ten years exceeded €2 billion. The main focus was on infrastructure development and new technologies, which secured Vodafone Ukraine’s technological leadership in the local market.

Vodafone Ukraine is a leader in innovation and, thanks to access to Vodafone’s global platforms, advanced solutions, and expertise from other markets, provides exclusive services to the largest Ukrainian and international companies.

In recent years the company’s business has been much further than traditional telecom services. Vodafone Ukraine has created a platform for launching new services based on 4G technology: IoT, smart city technologies and solutions, big data collection and processing, cloud services, and proprietary AI-based solutions.

Until 2017 the company’s all operations were concentrated within a single company. But, with the entry to new domains, it transformed into a company with a portfolio of several businesses, all related to the telecommunications and IT field. Vodafone Ukraine became the parent of VF Retail and IT SmartFlex businesses launched in July and December 2017, respectively, as well as the UNS tower company, established in November 2023 to develop the telecommunications network.

Operating in a responsible and sustainable manner is important to Vodafone Ukraine. The company runs its business in a socially responsible and ethical way in line with international standards. It contributes to the development of local communities integrating its technologies and smart solution in the social sector in the fields of education, medicine, and local social infrastructure development.
