📱 Travelling to Russia? Get ready to keep in touch with home.
Your usual messenger may not work reliably, so agree on a main app and a backup before you leave.
Our new guide covers:
💬 IMO — tested and regularly used by our team in Russia
📲 Chattti — another messaging and calling option to prepare
✈️ Botim — worth considering if you are travelling via the UAE
Ask friends and family to install your chosen apps too, add each other and make a test call before departure. Test again after arrival, as availability can change.
