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 “Assigned number” and is already available to everyone.
Two numbers on one SIM. How the new lifecell service works
First of all, you should take into account that the “Assigned number” service is paid. Only the first 84 days are provided at no additional cost (on account of the first paid package of services), and subsequently its cost is 25 UAH/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 earlier and is still in use) in order to use both on one SIM card at a single tariff.
After being transferred 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 an assigned number, you need to add a special code 878 at the beginning of the interlocutor’s number. Perhaps this is the only inconvenience.
The “Assigned Number” service can be deactivated at any time by dialing the USSD code *727# – after deactivation, the assigned number will become unavailable, as will the service itself. More detailed terms and conditions of the service are described on the lifecell website at the link.
It remains to add that lifecell is quite actively luring Kyivstar and Vodafone Ukraine subscribers, and has great success in this (not least thanks to special offers and constant discounts). Thus, the operator, which is still owned by Turkcell, firmly holds the lead 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 in big doubt – all because of the connection with the sanctioned Russian Mikhail Fridman and his partners (Fridman and Andrey Kosogov from the Russian Alfa Group indirectly own 19.8% of the shares of the Turkish telecom giant ). The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) is in no hurry to consider the second application (the regulator rejected the first in early January due to the documents not meeting the requirements) – most likely, without the nationalization of the Russians’ share in lifecell, the deal will not receive the green light. This is a rather complex and slow procedure that takes place through the Ministry of Justice and VAKS, for example, the process of confiscating the share of the Rotenberg brothers in the Kiev Ocean Plaza shopping center, which lasted for almost a year.
