Is activating an eSIM Routes plan simpler than purchasing a local SIM card at Sheremetyevo (SVO) or other Russian airports for travel in Moscow or St. Petersburg?

Updated June 5, 2026

For route-planners heading to Moscow or St. Petersburg, activating an eSIM Routes plan is significantly more streamlined than navigating the process of buying a physical local SIM card at airports like Sheremetyevo (SVO). With eSIM Routes, you can secure your data plan before departure, avoiding queues, language barriers, and registration hassles upon arrival. This allows you to land with immediate connectivity, ready to access your pre-planned routes and essential travel apps without delay, ensuring a smooth transition from air to ground transport.
