You can't change plans on "#Hello". Neither switch to "Hello" from other plans, nor change to any regular ones. By default, "Hello" only extends itself.

May be in the big Pietari (St.Petersburg) flagship offices they can switch you to basic plans, but not in every shop, especially in Wiipuri (Vyborg).

"Around the world" sounds very good for your needs, also it is easy to keep active for the next trip. It has flat rate for calling in all Russia, so it won't be much more expensive than local St.Petersburg offers.

You can order it on eBay with free delivery.

Or just buy something regular from St.Petersburg MegaFon or Tele2 (cheapest).

On MegaFon St.Petersburg you can start with some combo bundles ("Включайся", Connect! / Switch ON series) and when easily switch to any regular plan withount monthly fee. Before the next trip you can decide what to do next - switch back to some new combo bundle or just add the simple data package to your basic plan.

MegaFon offers you to recharge online (lataa) pretty easily.
