|
|
Hello
I'm coming for about 6 months in Russia and I bring my laptop and my USB Modem.
I would like to have internet mobile access with my laptop.
How are approximately the rate in Russia ? Which operator should I use (I stay in Moscow) ? Should I buy a new USB Modem ?
Does anyone on this forum surf on the net with an USB Modem with mobile internet ?
Thanks a lot for your help. |

if you have a laptop it has a built-in dial-up modem already
Why take another one with you?
If it's a broadband modem - you will not be able to use it on Russian phone lines - there should be a connection of such line to the ISP.
If you're going to use the dial-up then you can buy Internet-cards. something like 100 for 10 hours?.. I don't remember really...
Each card provides you with the modem pull number, login and pass.

| Mobile internet will work, but you have to have GSM card. |

I think he means a boadband cell phone modem that works via his USB port. Like the wireless cards that Sprint, AT&T and others have here in the states.
Wish I could help you answer that. I'm looking for the same info myself. |
