TL;DR
Some Etisalat data allowances may be hidden in the package details: travelers reported 15 GB on the home screen plus another 30 GB that was used first. Check the plan in the app while buying the SIM, and open the daily in-app offer for bonus data, messenger bundles, or minutes.
In the Etisalat app, tap the small arrow next to the displayed 15,000 MB balance and scroll down through the plan details. Travelers found an extra 30 GB there, and this allowance was consumed before the main balance shown on the home screen.
Open Etisalat’s daily in-app promotion every day. The rewards can include extra MB, messenger data bundles including Telegram, or call minutes; the offer needs to be claimed manually.
Check the balance and every allowance in the app while still with the SIM seller, as travelers reported that the displayed data may not match what was promised. As an alternative to a local SIM, VTB Mobile was reported to offer 14-day roaming packs: RUB 100 for 30 incoming minutes or RUB 300 for 30 outgoing minutes.
