Kyivstar Reaches 3 Million Users with Starlink Satellite Messaging Expansion

Kyivstar Group Ltd., Ukraine's leading digital operator, has expanded its services by investing in Starlink Direct to Cell satellite technology, significantly strengthening the country's connectivity. Since the launch in November 2025, over 3 million subscribers have registered for the service, which currently enables SMS messaging via satellite, particularly benefiting regions with disrupted terrestrial networks. Kyivstar has also opened access to satellite messaging for iPhone users, with devices running iOS 26.2 or later automatically connecting to the "Kyivstar | SpaceX" network when standard signals are unavailable. This strategic investment aims to provide essential communication services nationwide, especially in Ukraine’s southern and eastern regions.
