If either mandatory condition is not met during the period, the standard tariff prices will apply as per your tariff plan.

For prepaid tariff plans, the full monthly cost is charged upon its activation between 00:00 and 08:00 once a month, provided your account balance is sufficient. You’ll receive an SMS confirmation after 08:00.

For contract tariff plans, when activating the service, you pay a proportional amount based on the number of days left in the month, and after that, the full monthly service cost will be charged on the 1st of each month.

What may be charged when using the apps?

Online PASS does not cover messaging (text and image messages) in apps like Google Meet and Microsoft Teams - this traffic will be charged according to your tariff plan.

When the Online PASS service is active, you get unlimited data in the listed apps, except for technical traffic, which may still be charged, for example:

• In-stream ads;

• Ads and promo links displayed in apps;

• External links and navigation to other websites, apps, news, blogs, maps, etc.;

• Podcasts;

• RSS feeds;

• Software/app updates;

• Videos and content hosted on external websites and played in the app.

The traffic used by the connected device when your phone is used as a hotspot (tethering mode), when used in modems, the traffic generated via data compression services (Onavo, KickBit, etc.) or VPN is charged according to the terms of your tariff plan.

Most services and apps rely not only on their own, but also on third-party resources, which may consume gigabytes from your main package. To ensure the Online PASS service works correctly, we recommend keeping an eye on your GB balance in your main package and using additional data packages if needed.

The PASS services are available only when using the service through official iOS or Android apps. If you use unofficial apps or Lite versions, the traffic may not be recognized by the network and will be charged according to your tariff plan.

During the periods of high network load, the Internet speed may be limited. The services are available within the territory of Ukraine, provided there is the operator’s network coverage, excluding the areas where the state authorities are temporarily unable to exercise their powers or do so only partially.

Can I use my mobile phone as a hotspot to use the PASS service on a connected device?

The traffic used by the connected device when your phone is used as a hotspot (tethering mode), when used in modems, the traffic generated via data compression services (Onavo, KickBit, etc.) or VPN is charged according to the terms of your tariff plan.

How many PASS services can I activate at the same time? 

You can activate 3 different PASS services at the same time (Online PASS + Social PASS + Video PASS).

Can I use the Online PASS service while roaming?

The PASS services are only available in Ukraine on the Vodafone network.

When planning trips abroad, use: 

• roaming offers for prepaid tariff plans;

• roaming offers for contract tariff plans.

The service remains available only when it is activated and the service usage cost is paid, and the main monthly/4-week service package is paid as per your tariff plan. If either mandatory condition is not met during the period, the standard tariff prices plan will apply as per your tariff plan.
