Using mobile data in Russia: local tips
- Mobile data may pause on arrival. UK advice says a SIM that has not recently been on a Russian network may be unable to use mobile internet or SMS at first, for anything from hours to days. Tell family how to reach you.
- Foreign cards will not work. Visa and Mastercard cards issued outside Russia do not work at Russian shops or ATMs, so card-based apps and online payments are unlikely to work either.
- Check airport trains in the app. The official Aeroexpress app shows train and express-bus timetables and travel rules for Moscow’s airport transfers.
- One number for emergencies. Dial 112 for an ambulance, fire or police.
