Do not recommend to make international calls from a hotel room phone. It is as expensive as anywhere in the world.
You may use prepaid phone cards. However, they are also expensive and provide a little amount of minutes.
The best option, you know, is Skype. Here what you need to do:
1. Just get into an Internet cafe with high speed. You’ll find it without any trouble in Yakutsk, Nerungri, Mirny, Aldan, Khandyga. Almost everywhere. Even in a small village. It became possible thanks to SakhaTelecom OJC.
2. Pay a little for the time of using the Internet. Note, you pay for time, not for traffic.
3. Don’t ask servicemen, ‘Do you have Skype installed on a PC?’ Certainly, they do not have. The reason is simple. Most people have not heard of Skype ever.
4. Download and install the Skype soft. If you wish, ask a cafe admin for permission to do that.
5. Plug in your headphones and make call. As you know, to call to the U.S. or Europe is cheaper than to Russia.
If you’re out of any settlement, you may use sattelite phone. You must have your own. Or you may ask your guide or local friend, if he/she has got phone as such. Have no idea of sattelite phone call rates. Veries. Depend on your operator.
If you’ve got cell phone with international roaming, it’s up to you. You may use it or forget it for a certain period of time. Cell phones will work in any major cities as well as in big villages considered to be a region administrative center. In this case you need to choose MTS. In cities like Yakutsk, Mirny, Nerungri you may be connected through Megafon.
