How much does an eSIM for Russia cost?

Can I keep my WhatsApp number while using an eSIM in Russia?

Yes! Your WhatsApp number is tied to your original phone number, not your data plan. When you add a travel eSIM for Russia, WhatsApp continues to work with your existing number. Just make sure to set the eSIM as your data line while keeping your original SIM for calls/SMS.

When should I install my Russia eSIM?

We recommend installing your eSIM before departure (you can do this via QR code at home) but only activating it once you arrive in Russia. Most plans start their validity period upon first connection to a local network.

Is my phone compatible with eSIM?

Most phones released after 2020 support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and many other Android devices. Check your phone settings for an 'Add eSIM' or 'Add Cellular Plan' option.

What network coverage will I get in Russia?

Coverage depends on the provider and their local network partners. Most eSIM providers offer 4G LTE coverage in Russia, with 5G available in select areas. Check the provider details above for specific network information.
