A new week and another lifecell initiative for MNP subscribers — a new service that allows you to get two numbers on one SIM for the price of one (single tariff). The service is simply called “Fixed number” and is already available to everyone.
Two numbers on one SIM. How the new lifecell service works
First of all, it is worth taking into account that the “Fixed number” service is paid. Only the first 84 days are provided without additional charge (at the expense of the first paid package of services), and thereafter its cost is UAH 25/4 weeks. According to the terms of the service, you can transfer a number from another mobile operator to lifecell online to any active lifecell SIM card (the one that was activated before and is still in use) in order to use both on one SIM card at a single rate.
After transferring to the lifecell network, the number of another mobile operator is set as the main one, and the current lifecell number, which was previously on the subscriber’s SIM card, is “fixed” as an additional one. In the future, to send SMS and make calls from a fixed number, you need to add a special code 878 to the beginning of the number of the interlocutor. This is probably the only inconvenience.
You can deactivate the “Fixed number” service at any time by dialing the USSD code *727# – after deactivation, the fixed number will become unavailable, as well as the service itself. The terms of service are detailed on the lifecell website at the link.
It remains to add that lifecell is quite active in luring subscribers of Kyivstar and Vodafone Ukraine, and is very successful in this (not least thanks to special offers and constant discounts). Thus, the operator, which is still owned by Turkcell, firmly holds the leadership in the number of numbers transferred to its network – for five years in a row since the launch of the MNP service. Meanwhile, the sale of lifecell to the French NJJ Capital for $525 million is under great question — all because of the connection with the sanctioned Russian Mikhail Fridman and his partners (Fridman and Andrii Kosogov from the Russian “Alfa Group” indirectly own 19.8% of the Turkish shares. ). The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) is in no hurry to consider the second application (the first one was rejected by the regulator in early January due to the non-compliance of the documents with the requirements) — most likely, without the nationalization of the Russian stake in lifecell, the deal will not receive the green light. This is a rather complicated and slow procedure, which takes place through the Ministry of Justice and VAX, for example, the process of confiscation of the share of the Rotenberg brothers in the Kyiv shopping center Ocean Plaza, which lasted for almost a year.
