Russian telecommunications operators have developed a system for the accelerated verification of foreign SIM cards, significantly simplifying access for subscribers to mobile services while traveling.
Despite the introduction of new measures, a mandatory 24-hour "cooling-off period" still remains in Russian networks, during which users cannot access the internet or send messages as directed by Russian government authorities.
Process of Accelerated SIM Card Unlocking
Now, when a subscriber connects to the network, they receive an SMS message with a unique link from their operator. To proceed, they must follow the link and complete a simple CAPTCHA verification, confirming that the action is being performed by a human. After this, access to communication services will be granted by the operator without waiting for 24 hours. The unlocking time may vary depending on network load and usually takes a few minutes.
The introduction of these measures is aimed at improving the quality of communication services and increasing the availability of mobile services for newcomers to the Russian Federation.
