We are a telecommunications group led by lifecell. We’re the top choice for number portability—more customers switch to us from other operators than to anyone else. During wartime, we prioritize keeping the country connected: we invest in batteries and generators to ensure our base stations operate even during power outages.
But lifecell is, above all, about people. More than 4,000 professionals across Ukraine work together within our group of companies to advance telecom every day. We value initiative, support fresh ideas, and share knowledge. Here, you’ll find the stability of the lifecell and Datagroup alliance, the agility of a modern business, and the backing of the international holding NJJ Capital, which helps each of us grow.
