Instant activation Beeline, Tele2 network No roaming bills
Russia is vast, and its tourism market has shrunk considerably in recent years - but if your plans take you there, expect a country that still rewards the curious. Moscow's Red Square and the Metro's cathedral-like stations, St. Petersburg's canals and Hermitage collection, the Trans-Siberian stretching east. Many Western payment methods don't work locally, and apps like Yandex (maps, taxi) dominate. A roaming eSIM keeps your home-country apps functional.
