@ lover08
When you sell these SIM cards in or from Germany or the Ukraine, can you first of all confirm the roaming rate announced by Vodafone UA?
I would really like to have some user reports about this SIM for the prepaid data WIKI. If the rates are confirmed and this card gets available more easily in the rest of Europe (e.g. on eBay or through other sales channels), I will feature it more prominenty on the WIKI. But up to now, not many users may feel the need to go by person to the UA first to get a SIM card for EU roaming.

Some questions to you:
> Is it right that for roaming the rate advertised by Vodafone is to be added on top of the domestic rate? E.g. for roaming on the M pack of 2 GB you pay 50 + 150 = 200 UAH. This is not clearly specified on their page here: https://www.vodafone.ua/en/personal/tariffs/prepaid
But it's normally like this with Vodafone's RED tariffs like Peterdoo has said.

> Have you tried to activate a plan like RED S or M by USSD code through a roaming network?

> According to your statement above, roaming is not activated by default on Vodafone UA SIM cards. Right? Can it be activated from abroad? How?? Or does it need to activated by someone located in UA using the home network?

By the way: Kyivstar, the competitor of Vodafone/MTS in the Ukraine has slashed their roaming charges today: http://www.telecompaper.com/news/kyi...ariff--1119439
But e.g. 35 UAH per 100 MB, that's 1.40 EUR in a limited promotion clearly doesn't beat Vodafone.
