This July I am planning to drive from Vladivostok to Europe and need some advise on what phone to buy. I am coming from Japan where all the phones are locked to the carrier, and it is not allowed (yet) to unlock it. It seems like that the best is just to buy a phone in Vladivostok with a local SIM card??? I would appreciate some advice on what kind of phone to buy, and what carrier to choose so I can use it across Russia. I will make/receive some calls to and from Japan, and use the phone locally for emergency. What kind kind of $$ should I expect to pay for this? Perhaps someone from Vladivostok could recommend a shop as well?? Thank you in advance.

For example this: htt******p://vld.euroset.****ru/catalog/mobile/phones/alcatel/-/alcatel-ot-203-grey/ Page can be translated into Google translator. The contract is better to take from MegaFon. This is a Russian telecom operator. In the salon will help you choose the tariff plan. to see tje link delete *
