I'm going overseas in June, Russia and Romania. What's the go with using mobile phones overseas? I haven't been overseas for several years so not sure.

I'd take an unlocked phone and buy a prepaid sim. Significantly cheaper

This. Just don't buy them at the airport where you'll be ripped off. Do a bit of research before you go on who are the country's biggest service providers and when you hit town, head to a store with your passport in hand.

Most bars and hotels/ hostils have free wifi. Even when you back back around the poorer countries like Vietnam, Thailand l, Bali etc there is wifi in most places

The only hassle I had was that a lot of places you have to have an SMS sent to you to access the WiFi which you can't do if you don't have a phone.
