Skyalo does not provide eSIM plans for Russia that include a phone number or SMS capability. Travelers who need to use a local number for calls or receive text messages will need to rely on data‑only eSIMs combined with VoIP or messaging applications. While services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage can usually be used over the data connection for calls and messaging, it is important to verify that these applications are accessible in Russia before purchasing an eSIM plan.
