lifecell hikes prices on 'Maxi' tariffs and closes 'Mega' to new subscribers
Mobile operator lifecell will change the cost of the "Maxi" tariff plan for new subscribers from October 14, 2026. The standard price will increase by 100 UAH, while the "Mega" tariff will become unavailable for new connections.
The standard price of the "Maxi" tariff will increase from 400 to 500 UAH per four weeks, or by 25%. For subscribers who complete number personalization, the price will rise from 350 to 450 UAH. At the same time, the cost for users switching to lifecell from another operator with number portability will remain unchanged at 270 UAH.
Thus, starting October 14, the following prices will apply for new connections:
- 500 UAH per four weeks - standard price of the "Maxi" tariff;
- 450 UAH per four weeks - for subscribers with personalized numbers;
- 270 UAH per four weeks - for users who port their number from another operator via the MNP procedure.
The difference between the standard price and the offer for subscribers switching operators will be 230 UAH every four weeks. At the same time, number personalization will allow paying 50 UAH less than the standard price.
The "Maxi" tariff includes unlimited calls within the lifecell network, a bundle of minutes for calls to subscribers of other Ukrainian operators, and mobile internet. Subject to timely payment, users can receive additional minutes and gigabytes. After exhausting the high-speed internet allowance, connection speed is limited.
Starting October 14, the operator will also stop new sign-ups and migrations to the "Mega" tariff. Previously, it was available at prices from 350 to 550 UAH per four weeks depending on connection conditions.
The "Mega" package includes 100 GB of high-speed internet, 2000 minutes for calls to other networks, roaming internet in EU countries, and access to lifecell TV.
However, the price changes will not affect existing subscribers of the "Maxi" and "Mega" tariffs. Users who subscribed to these tariff plans before the new terms take effect will continue to be served at the previous rates.
It is worth considering that lifecell sets prices for packages per four weeks (28 days), not per calendar month. Therefore, subscribers typically pay for 13 such service packages per year.
This is not the first tariff revision by lifecell in 2026. In February, the operator also raised the prices of "Maxi" and "Mega" for new connections, keeping previous prices for existing users.
