Pre paid cell service in the Baltic?

Looking at different options, primarily for data more than voice. Any suggestions on companies/ plans?

This is a good site with a lot of information on different providers in different companies:

The EU now requires EU cell phone providers to allow roaming in other EU countries at the local rates (with a whole bunch of exceptions). In theory, you could buy a local, pre-paid sim in the first country you visit and use that for your trip (keep in mind Russia is not in the EU and you may pay exorbitant roaming rates). How easy this is depends on which country you visit and what their carriers offer.

 

There are also a handful of companies that offer world-wide roaming SIMs, with different rates for different countries. TravelSim (http://travelsim.com) is one that I have used, they are based in estonia. You buy the sim on-line and they send it to you with credit before your trip. You can choose a dataplan before you go and activate it before you leave or when you arrive. It is a little more expensive than a local sim, but has the advantage of working in most countries around the world.

What phone company do you have? I just get ATT international plan for $60.00 and it works for me.

I have Verizon, at $10/ day not a great option for a fourteen day trip. Some have recommended Three company.
