| Oct 19, 2017 at 21:39 | comment | added | Blaszard | @JonathanReez Thanks. The €10 seems to be a delivery fee. It is still too expensive to justify getting it in order to deal with the corrupt police, though. | |

In the case of Ukraine a gigabyte costs 12 euros. It's most effective when traveling to multiple countries in order to save time on buying SIM cards. | |

| Oct 19, 2017 at 19:22 | comment | added | Blaszard | @ventsyv Which Eastern European countries do you mean it by? | |
| Oct 19, 2017 at 19:20 | comment | added | Blaszard | @JonathanReez The card at the airport cost 110 UAH and 9GB data-use, which I'm quite satisified with. Generally, I prefer to buy the card at the airport if the country and/or city is what I have never visited. It is quite a pain to navigate the transport without the network... | |

Be prepared to spend a significant amount of time listening to the cop giving you a lecture on how many laws you broke and how many tickets you'll get (like cops everywhere they can always find something to give you a ticket for). You can tell them you are on a business trip and your company will pay the tickets. Not sure about Ukraine but that generally works. | |

| Oct 19, 2017 at 19:00 | comment | added | Blaszard | @JonathanReez When I got on the airport in Kyiv, it was the only card I could buy at one of the counters. The world travel SIM is quite expensive, IMO. | |
| Oct 19, 2017 at 18:56 | comment | added | JonathanReez♦ | Why not get a full fledged sim card? In Ukraine it costs a few euros per month and there are numerous world travel sims that support calls as well. | |
