iPad in Russia

[Josh Wilson]

It, of course, depends on where you'll be. Assuming you'll be in Moscow, St.
Pete, or another major city, you'll have no problems. You can get a
mini-chip (so long as your iPad can have the chip replaced) at any number of
locations, slip it in, set it up, and you're good to go. 

My iPad was bought in the States and works fine in Moscow and St. Pete with
Beeline. Outside Moscow, at the Dacha, it doesn't so well, but my
sister-in-law's, which uses a high-traffic packages from MegaFon works as
well as any 3G I've seen in the states. I would guess that if you get very
far out of civilization, though, you'll be having some trouble... 

We also have fairly extensive information about taking electronics to Russia
on our site: http://www.sras.org/guides_packing_for_russia . You might be
interested in checking it out. 

Best,

anyone traveled and purchased a SIM? any other advice? please reply offline.
