Hi everyone,

(Note: I go by SQFreak on HoFo and WirelessAdvisor, but this forum wouldn't authorize that account.)

I'm going to Russia as a student this summer for five weeks in Moscow and one week in St. Petersburg. For reasons that have been explained to me, I'd like to get a prepaid mobile while I'm there that will work in both cities. I've heard it can be difficult for an American to get a prepaid mobile in Russia. Does anyone who's done it know the best way to go about it, the right type of plan, the company that's most helpful to English-speakers (I speak some Russian, but I'm not near fluent.), etc.?

Thanks!
