Mobile connection

Mobile connection

Both for the north and south side route, choose Megafon connection provider. It provides the strongest signal in the area. You can buy a local SIM-card or choose this provider in your roaming sets.

Mobile connection on the north side will not be available on all days. Please inform your relatives that you could be out of touch for several days, but this doesn't mean that something bad has happened to you. In Kislovodsk the 3G signal is good, and there will be free Wi-Fi at hotel and restaurants. There will be several spots on the way to the base camp where you can catch a signal, then on the way up from the base camp to the high camp and on the summit. There is no mobile signal at the camps but you can buy a Wi-Fi connection there.

On the south side the mobile signal is available almost everywhere but probably with some problems with access to the Internet. There is a small area at around 5000m where there is no mobile connection, but you will be able to make calls and post your pictures both from the hut at 3800m and the hotel in Terskol. There is free Wi-Fi connection at the hotel lobby.
