eSIM Russia ✅ Best virtual SIM cards for travelers

Your eSIM may not work in Russia due to several factors. Check if your device is compatible with local networks, ensure that the eSIM is activated correctly, and verify that you have a valid data plan. Additionally, confirm that airplane mode is off and that network settings are properly configured.

You can always track your remaining data usage and day amount in the "Internet" section in the Yesim application, or just sign in to your profile on the website yesim.app.

These mobile phone eSIM plans offer unlimited data usage without any extra charges for exceeding the data limit. They are ideal for those users who need high-speed data access for posting photos, streaming videos, messaging, online gaming, and social media.

You can find unlimited eSIM data plans for each country in the Internet section of the Yesim app.

While such a data plan offers unlimited high-speed data usage, you should be aware that your data speed will not always be at its maximum. To prevent network congestion, most mobile service providers implement a daily usage limit. Once this limit has been reached, your data speed will be reduced, or "throttled."

To avoid throttling, it’s recommended to monitor your data usage regularly. Most smartphones have built-in tools that track your data usage; just check and adjust it accordingly.

Your QR code is valid for one phone only and cannot be reused on additional phones. The same QR code can only be reused on the same device if the eSIM profile for this code is deleted from the phone.

The speed of mobile data can be affected by many factors, such as the type of smartphone you are using, the available network technology, the websites or applications you are accessing, the time of day, network congestion, other factors in the transmission path, and the cell tower's or area's data usage. Additionally, the download and upload speeds depend on the country's network infrastructure and boradband connection type. Low internet speed is usually caused by a mobile operator's poor coverage and can be remedied by rebooting your phone and sending us screenshots of the internet speed with and without LTE mode enabled.

You can buy a new data plan for any new country or region on the Yesim list and use it as many times as you need within the validity period. The only limit is the number of days and megabytes. You can also buy the International eSIM Plan, which works for any country, and you will pay for the traffic you have actually used.

Yes, eSIM technology is secure for several reasons. First, eSIMs are embedded directly into devices, making it difficult for unauthorized users to remove or tamper with them. Second, eSIMs utilize secure elements to store sensitive data, such as your mobile identity, which helps prevent hacking.

To estimate your data needs for an eSIM in Russia, consider your typical online activities. For video streaming, 1 GB allows approximately 1 hour of Full HD (1080p) streaming or 4-5 hours at lower quality (240p). For audio streaming, you can enjoy around 20 hours of low-quality music (96 kbps) with 1 GB. Web browsing will consume about 250-300 KB per page without images. If you plan to make video calls, expect to use about 1 GB for 1-1.5 hours of HD quality. Adjust your data plan based on these estimates.
