Answer 1

It should work, but you will get shafted with roaming charges. Like each kb of data you use will cost like 50 cents or something ridiculous like that.

It also depends which provider you are going with. Both rogers and bell shaft you for calling out of your own country. So yea just keep that in mind, it will work but you will pay an arm and a leg just to use it. I wouldn't even bring it to Russia if I were you.

We Canadians get shafted with crap cellphone/data plans.

Answer 2

It all depends on your carrier, and the type of phone you have. If you have a GSM phone (the kind that uses a sim card), then you can have your phone unlocked, and get a sim card for a carrier in Russia (be sure THEY won't re-lock it!!!). The other option is to go with your carrier's international plan, and pay their international roaming rate.



Presuming you have wi-fi, you should probably limit your web browsing to attaching via wi-fi unless you absolutely MUST go online elsewhere. Data downloading charges are enormous; we tell our customers to stick with wi-fi rather than pay the huge per-megabyte charge that non-domestic data roaming incurs. It can cost something on the order of $15-45 just to download something like CNN's home page, for example!!!



I work for T-Mobile, and we have international partners all over the world. If you're with Rogers, I'm pretty sure they have something similar, but you'll need to call them to be sure.



Have a good trip!
