Russia roaming restrictions

From midnight (AET) on 10 December 2025, there are changes to international roaming services for all customers travelling to Russia.

How this affects you

When you are roaming in Russia:

  • You’ll no longer be able to make or receive calls
  • Data services will be unavailable
  • You will not be able to send SMS

You may still be able to receive SMS while in Russia, subject to the country's restrictions.

What you can do

For the most reliable connection while in Russia:

  • Use WiFi where available to stay in touch
  • Consider buying a local Russian SIM card

Why is this happening?

This is due to a change in network partner service configuration. Unfortunately, there's nothing ALDI Mobile can do to bypass these changes.
