While major Russian cities and well-traveled routes, like those connecting Moscow and St. Petersburg, generally offer robust 4G/5G coverage, connectivity can be very limited or non-existent in truly remote regions. Think areas deep in Siberia or the Far East. Truly Roaming aims for reliable connectivity where infrastructure exists, but if your work takes you off the beaten path, always have a backup plan, such as downloading maps offline or informing colleagues of potential communication gaps.
What kind of mobile coverage should I expect in remote areas of Russia with a Truly Roaming eSIM?
