Russia: Mobile Coverage & Carriers
ESIMBYCOUNTRY at checkout · See all codes →Russia's mobile market is served by four major carriers: MTS, MegaFon, Beeline, and Tele2. These networks commercially operate 3G and 4G/LTE services across the country. For LTE connectivity, roaming eSIMs typically connect to bands B3 (1800 MHz), B7 (2600 MHz), B20 (800 MHz), and B38 (2600 MHz), though coverage varies by region and operator.
Regarding eSIM availability, some local Russian carriers do issue eSIMs, though this information has low confidence and the extent of eSIM support across all four major carriers remains unclear. Travelers considering eSIM options should verify current offerings directly with individual carriers, as eSIM adoption and availability may be limited or still developing in the Russian market.
