Mobile internet

By mid-2010 Intertelecom launched CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev A network in 24 regions of Ukraine and by 2011 upgraded the network to Rev B.[4] By 2013 Rev B covered more than 71% of the population.[5] On May 22, 2019, it was announced that most tariff plans would change their tariff terms starting June 1, 2019, which will lead to a reduction in the amount of minutes for calls and internet traffic. Internet tariffs with a speed limit will have a speed limit of 64 kilobits per second after the daily Internet traffic is exhausted, instead of 128 kilobits. Unlimited Internet tariff plans (except for the Unlimited Internet tariff plan) will have a daily limit on Internet traffic at the maximum speed.[6]

By the year 2012, Intertelecom acquired all existing IS-95 and CDMA2000 1xRTT carriers in Ukraine (except PEOPLEnet) such as its rival CDMA UA,[7] [8] thus expanding its coverage area to the entire Ukrainian territory.

On July 1, 2021, voice service coverage in the majority of regions (except for Odesa and Odesa region) got cancelled[9]
