Horrified to get a bill of £118 after a 7 day holiday in Russia. How do I avoid such shocks in future?

There are only 3 options I can think of for Russia.
1 - If on contract use Tugo over wifi http://www.o2.co.uk/apps/tu-go
2 - Use a local sim card if you can figure out how to get one.
3 - Leave your phone at home.

Have a look here http://www.o2.co.uk/help/pay-monthly/using-your-phone-abroad but you can use tugo if a monthly customer over wifi ensuring your phone is in airplane mode with wifi enabled etc.

Russia classed as the 'Rest of the World' and the rates are horrendous

The op probably 'discovered' it was high. I presented a picture of the costs...

Really..... Let's just say every picture tells a story. I thought it was relevant...therefore I posted. I don't see a problem with that.
