St. Petersburg - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you have any recommendations regarding mobile phones? Did you keep your home-country plan or use a local provider?
There are quite a few providers and the cost is relatively inexpensive for unlimited data and texts. Currently less than $10/month for service. I brought an unlocked iPhone from the States and just replaced the SIM card. Personally I have had a good experience with YOTA. If you are a consulate employee, you will be issued a phone. - Apr 2017
We bought a local sim card for our phone from the States. - Feb 2016
Diplomats are provided cell phones through work, but I've heard it is relatively easy to find local cell phones / cell phone plans. You can pay the bills at machines around the city. - Aug 2011
