We took our laptop and was able to connect via wireless our whole trip. Our facilitator got us cards for internet minutes, and it they were very cheap. Our daughter's orphanage was in a very remote area, but even there we had no problem with internet. I was able to keep a blog and post stories and pictures every day while we were gone.
You can use the phone too, but we had a bit of a hard time b/c even with English directions the prompts were in Russian so we had to get help.
On trip 2, when we were in Moscow doing our embassy stuff, we rented an apartment and it was AWESOME...also they had a computer in it with free internet access and free phone calls to the USA...Whoa did we take advantage of that!
