| Getting connected | Download the eSIM to your phone, then follow the activation steps that come with your plan. | Book delivery or collect a rental router from the provider. | Turn on roaming and confirm your destination is covered by your home plan. | Buy a SIM card and insert it into a compatible SIM slot on your phone. |
| Extra equipment | None. You use the eSIM-compatible phone you already have. | A separate device to carry, charge and keep within range. | None. You keep using your existing phone and SIM. | A physical SIM card. You might need to remove your usual SIM to fit it. |

Answers to common setup and buying questions.
Compare data, validity, activation and networks before buying. Save essential maps and bookings offline.
Check each plan: validity starts at purchase, first installation or first network connection.
Networks vary by plan. Reception and speeds depend on location, network conditions and your device.
Check hotspot support on each plan. Connected devices share the allowance.
Fixed total data. No daily reset.
Russia only.
An eSIM-compatible, network-unlocked phone is required.
Check coverage, remaining data and validity. Follow the supplied roaming and APN instructions. Keep the eSIM installed when contacting support.
If travel to Russia is unavoidable, plan your landing as if mobile internet may not be there. Mobile service for foreign visitors may be restricted even when the phone shows a network, so save tickets, addresses and meeting details before you leave. Whether you are visiting family or on a short holiday, treat the first hours after arrival as offline.

The FCDO advises against all travel to Russia. If you must go, re-read the latest guidance and keep your exit plan under review. Access may be delayed on arrival, so fix a meeting point and a backup contact method beforehand.
At Sheremetyevo, the Aeroexpress operator lists rail service to Belorussky Rail Terminal. Check the timetable and your terminal before you travel, then save the ticket plus the next leg to your lodging. Each Moscow airport uses a different rail stop, so do not assume one station covers all.
Write the destination address in Cyrillic and note the entrance or reception name. A data link does not make a payment card, booking app or SMS verification work, so line up an accepted payment method apart from your mobile plan.
Save before you goAirport name, terminal, transfer ticket, Cyrillic address and a meeting plan that needs no app.
If you land at Pulkovo, read the airport's ground-transport page while you still have a connection. Save whichever bus or pickup route you pick, plus the final address. A booking kept only in an inbox can be hard to open during a mobile-data restriction.
For an onward train, read the exact station printed on the ticket rather than typing only St Petersburg into a map. Keep the departure time, carriage and boarding details in one place, and ask your lodging how to reach the entrance if you arrive late.
Where service exists, use data for changed bookings and messages, but keep a separate offline plan for meeting a driver or host. If access fails, check the eSIM settings and supplied steps; deleting and reinstalling the profile does not fix a network restriction.
Save before you goYour chosen airport transfer, train ticket, lodging entrance and an agreed fallback if messages never arrive.
