Updated activities of telecom companies in support of Ukraine
Access to communications is most crucial during times of crisis. As the Ukrainian people endure their harshest proof, European telecommunication companies have rolled out measures to ease communications and support people in distress.
Based on publicly available information, European telecom operators have taken a range of actions to help Ukrainians and those supporting them. Depending on the country, the types of measures include:
- Free international calls to Ukraine;
- No roaming charges with Ukraine;
- Distribution of SIM cards to refugees arriving in neighbouring countries;
- Free WiFi in refugee camps;
- Activation of the “SMS donation” function to the benefit of organizations supporting refugees;
- Including Ukrainian channels in IPTV packages for no added fee.
We continuously update the list of examples, available at the link below.
