Tell him to buy a sim card over there. That's what I did and it was very good value. A tenner lasted the week, including about 2mins of calls home. Cant remember the network, something beginning with v I think.

That would be the English transliteration. Don't be confused -- in Russian's Cryllic alphabet, the network name would start with 'B'.
