Tips before you go:

1. Determine if your wireless device will operate in the country, you are visiting.
2. Visit your mobile operator official web site or call their customer service to verify if international roaming service is activated (or you may request it be blocked). Also, ask about the International Data and Messaging Packages available.
3. Learn how to call home when traveling abroad.
 If you want to call or send a text message back to the U.S. traveling in Russia simply dial   "+" (1) (10-digit number).
