Transliterations I've seen used by Russian people on Internet:

а a
б b
в v
г g
д d
е e
ё jo / yo / e / ë
ж zh / j / g / z
з z / s
и i
й j / y / i
к k

м m
н n
о o
п p
р r
с s
т t
у u / y
ф f
х h / kh
ц c / ts / z
ч ch / c / 4
ш sh / s
щ sch / sh / w (in Bulgaria they can use 6 for ш in SMS)
ъ (usually nothing)
ы y / i / j
ь ' or nothing
э e / a
ю ju / u
я ja / a (in Bulgaria they can use q for я in SMS)

Note: when ы and й are noted "y" I remarked that to avoid "mistakes" ый can then be written "yi" and ий as "iy".
