The hugely popular iPhone is due to go on sale in Russia this year. On September 2, Russia's third largest mobile operator Megafon announced it had also signed a deal.
Russia's second largest mobile operator VimpelCom reached a similar agreement with Apple in late August.
One source said the iPhone, retailing for $199/$299 with a contract in the U.S., would go on sale in Russia in October for around $1,000 on a non-contract basis or for a $200 down payment under contract.
Global sales of the new iPhone 3G hit over 1 million in the first three days of its July launch. Analysts predict unofficial and official sales of the handset in Russia could reach 700,000 alone in 2008.
Apple launched its new 3G iPhone in July, which offers improved and faster Internet access, e-mail and GPS, and company CEO Steve Jobs pledged that the phone would go on sale in Russia, one of the world's fastest growing mobile markets, by the end of the year.
