Why Russian cards fail on foreign eSIM sites
Since 2022, Visa and Mastercard cards issued by Russian banks do not work on foreign websites, and most international payment processors do not accept MIR. Large foreign eSIM stores therefore decline Russian cards regardless of the balance.
goAFK accepts rubles directly: MIR cards and SBP. The ruble price is fixed at the moment of payment.
Payment methods
- MIR card from any Russian bank, on the "Russian Cards (СБП)" payment page.
- SBP: pick your bank and confirm in your banking app.
- Crypto: USDT, BTC, ETH, TON and 100+ coins; the coins offered depend on the order total.
- Foreign Visa/Mastercard and Apple Pay.
Unlimited plans
All unlimited plans include the first 3 GB each day at full speed, then up to 1 Mbit/s until the daily reset.
Step by step
- Pick a destination. Open goafk.io/shop or the Telegram bot @goafk_bot and find your destination. Prices are also shown in rubles.
- Choose a plan. A data package for the days you need, or unlimited. Validity starts at the first connection in the destination, not at purchase.
- Pay with MIR or SBP. Choose "Russian Cards (СБП)": on the payment page pick your bank in SBP or enter a MIR card. Crypto works too.
- Install via QR code. The QR code appears right after payment, on the order page and in Telegram. Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi.
- Switch it on when you land. Select the eSIM for mobile data at your destination. Keep your Russian SIM in the phone for bank SMS codes.
