Communication mean
For calls around Kyiv, you can use public telephones located all over the city. You need a phone card which you can buy at any post office. Long distance phone services in Ukraine are operated by Utel (Ukrainian Telecomunications). The rates for calls to Europe are about $0.60-1.50 per minute. Calls to the United States are about $2.00 per minute.
The Ukrainian telephone system is extremely archaic and at times very difficult to deal with. Do not be surprised if the phones do not work or if they require frequent re-dialing.
Telephone - 24-hour service. Rate for 1 minute: Western Europe - US$1.00, the U.S.A. - US$2.50 (payable in Hryvnias). You might need operator assistance to make a call outside of Kyiv. Foreign language speaking operators can be reached at the following numbers:
