There is one final tricky part here. We have done our best to correct this issue in almost all of our numbers, but you may still run into this, if you had gotten a phone number from some other agency. In the countries of former Soviet Union, one dials "8" before the area code to get a long distance line. It's much like dialing "1" in the US. Therefore, a lot of users put an "8", or "+8" in front of their number, and that makes it look as a country code. However, the country code for Russia is "7". So you need to replace the digit "8" in front of the phone number with the digit "7", if only digit "8" is not part of area code.
To start using your service in an unlocked GSM phone simply: - Travel to Russia

*Your Russia SIM card may require a 4-digit PIN code which can be found under the black tab located under the Russia SIM card.
