Kyivstar replaces 3G with 4G in two regions: where the internet will change

In August, Kyivstar plans to replace the 3G technology with 4G in some settlements of the Dnipropetrovsk and Lviv regions. The changes will take effect from August 26, 2025, and will affect several cities and districts.

According to the company's information, the changes will occur as part of the modernization of the telecommunications infrastructure in preparation for the implementation of the 5G network. Subscribers will be able to continue using mobile services but will switch from 3G to fast 4G.

Where 4G will work instead of 3G

Dnipropetrovsk region: Dnipro, Samara (Novohrad-Volynskyi), Samara district, Kamianske, Kamianskyi district, Vylnohirsk, Pidhorodne, Slobozhanske.

Lviv region: Drohobych, Stryi, Truskavets, Boryslav, Sheptytskyi (Chervonohrad).

Users who have not yet activated 4G on their phones are urged to do so according to the operator's instructions. If the SIM card does not support 4G, a free replacement for a USIM can be obtained while keeping the number.

Let us remind you that earlier the President of Ukraine signed a law on deploying mobile networks, which will allow ensuring quality communication in regions where it has not been available yet and to maintain connectivity in de-occupied territories.

Kyivstar plans to modernize mobile communication technologies in certain regions of Ukraine, providing subscribers with the opportunity to transition from 3G to fast 4G. This will be part of the preparation for the implementation of the 5G network, which promises even more connectivity opportunities.
