Has anybody on this list had experience using iPhones within Russia? I am
considering buying an iPhone 4. It seems that one can easily obtain the
right kind of SIM-card (known as a 'micro' card) from the Russian carriers
MTS and Bilain. The AT & T representative told me that switching the cards
would not present a problem. I was wondering if people have experienced
problems of any kind with connectivity, dropped calls, etc. It also seems
that the iPhone 4 is still very expensive and scarce in Russia, which could
make it a significant temptation for theft. On the MTS website (for
example), the iPhone is listed for sale, yet 'net v nalichii'. Replies on or
off-list would be appreciated.
