eSIM for Russia: prepaid data plans from $5.62
With a travel eSIM for Russia, your phone has mobile data the minute you land — no roaming charges, no local SIM to buy, no kiosk to queue at. You order it before you fly, get a QR code by email, and switch it on when you reach Moscow, St Petersburg or wherever your trip begins, so maps, translation and messaging are ready before you leave the airport.

Coverage for a vast country
Russia stretches across an enormous expanse, and a travel eSIM connects to local networks so your phone stays useful in cities and on the move between them. Keep translation apps, maps and rail bookings to hand as you cross time zones, without hunting for wi-fi or a SIM shop in an unfamiliar alphabet.
Ready before you fly
Set the eSIM up at home over wi-fi so everything is in place before you travel. Scan the QR code, save the profile, and it stays inactive until you land. There is nothing to collect at the airport and no shop to find once you have arrived.
How much data to choose
If you mainly message, map and post photos, a modest allowance covers a week comfortably. Heavier use — video calls, streaming, tethering a laptop — points to a larger plan. You can top up if you run low, so it is fine to start smaller and add more later.
FAQ
Can I set the eSIM up before I arrive in Russia?
Yes. Install it at home while you have wi-fi, then leave it switched off. It only begins using data once you connect to a network on arrival, so you can have everything ready days before you fly.
Do I keep my own phone number?
You do. The eSIM carries data while your regular number stays active for calls and texts, so contacts and apps tied to your number keep working. Just turn off data roaming on your main line to avoid extra charges.
Which phones support this?
Most eSIM-capable models from the last few years work, including recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices. Check that yours lists an eSIM option in settings and is unlocked for use with any network.
