This is the highest indicator for full service availability. This was reported by the National Commission, who practices state regulation in the field of Electronic Communications (NKEK).

“In 2025, the number of numbers transferred continued to grow and in January only reached 145 thousand numbers – about half the number of numbers moved for 2024,” the statement said.

In February, this indicator was almost double – up to 68.54 thousand transfers.

In total, in 2024, the largest losses were recorded in Kyivstar – 207.1 thousand numbers (received 16.616 thousand), from VF Ukraine – 109.53 thousand (received 16.616 thousand), in Lifecell – 22.86 thousand (received 269.767 thousand).
