Click on the Subscribers tab. Granted, you can't do much until you buy a SIM card startup kit once you get there.

thanks jontoronto for the info.

do you have the link to the MTS website?

I only found their corporate website with no pricing/availability information.

Oh, and both MTS and Beeline have English web sites, which is excellent when refilling.

First of all, you'll need an unlocked quad band handset (triband might work, too).

Here's a good primer on GSM in Russia: http://www.waytorussia.net/Pra.....obile.html

MTS and Beeline are the most widely in use in the country. I used MTS there. Kiosks on almost every street corner will sell you a start-up kit.

You could google it to see what phones/GSM providers are available in Russia. Probably have better luck googling than here.

I am visiting Russia (Moscow & St. Petersberg) next year.

Anyone know of whether there is prepaid SIM available there and how much?

What kind of phone?

Thanks
