"Our company is a leader in Ukraine by the number of roaming destinations. This is especially relevant now, when the holiday season is gaining momentum. UMC subscribers can stay connected in 150 countries worldwide. In the most popular countries among Ukrainian tourists and businessmen, UMC has several roaming partners, and thus the company's clients can choose the network whose service they consider the most advantageous," says Eric Franke, General Director of UMC.
UMC has been providing international roaming service since September 1997. As of July 1, 2003, UMC introduced preferential roaming for its subscribers in the MTS network and MTS subsidiaries in Russia and Belarus, and, accordingly, for MTS subscribers in the UMC network. In June 2001, for the first time in Ukraine, a unique opportunity to use roaming was opened for SIM-SIM subscribers: to receive incoming calls and SMS while abroad.
