Hello everyone! I’m travelling to Russia from Canada in September, and I’ve heard that it may not be possible for foreigners to buy a SIM card or mobile data plan at Russian stores.
Has anyone used Roamify recently in Russia and can confirm that it actually works? I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who has used it in 2026.
Thanks!
Hello everyone! I’m travelling to Russia from Canada in September, and I’ve heard that it may not be possible for foreigners to buy a SIM card or mobile data plan at Russian stores.
Does anyone know what my options are for getting mobile data? Canadian carriers do list Russia as a roaming destination, but I haven’t been able to find many Reddit posts from people who have actually used Canadian roaming in Russia recently and can confirm that it works.
I’ve also looked into travel eSIMs, but I’m not sure how reliable they are in Russia.
Does anyone have any recommendations or recent experience with this? I really need reliable mobile data while I’m there, especially since I don’t speak Russian.
Thanks!
