How do messaging and VoIP apps perform in Russia with eSIM Glow?

Updated June 5, 2026

When using eSIM Glow in Russia, messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram generally work well for texts. However, it's worth noting that voice and video calls on these and other VoIP applications can sometimes be unreliable or experience throttling. While eSIM Glow provides a robust data connection, local network policies can impact the performance of certain communication features. We recommend being flexible with your communication methods and perhaps relying more on text-based messaging for critical conversations to ensure your connectivity remains as smooth as possible during your Russian adventure.
