Reference excerpt

Telephone numbers in Russia are administered by Roskomnadzor, and the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation. Russia's national telephone numbering plan comprises four levels of destination routing codes with local, zone, country, and international scopes, implementing a closed numbering plan, in which the number of digits of all national significant numbers assigned to subscriber telephones is fixed at ten, with three digits for the area code, and a seven-digit subscriber number which includes a zone code of up to two digits. Russia is a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and participates in the international numbering plan provided by recommendations E.164 and E.123, using the telephone country code 7, which is shared with Kazakhstan, designating two area codes for routing calls to that country. Country code 7 was originally assigned to the Soviet Union, and continued to be used by the fifteen successor states after the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union. All but two successor states switched to new, individual country codes from the 3xx and 9xx ranges between 1993 and 1998.

Dialing pattern

Calls within Russia 8 ABC xxx-xx-xx (where ABC is the area code)

e.g. 8 499 xxx-xx-xx (to Moscow, fixed line) e.g. 8 812 234-56-78 (to St. Petersburg, fixed line) e.g. 8 985 xxx-xx-xx (to a mobile number issued by MTS in Moscow)

International calls from Russia Pre-Selected Operator: 8-tone-10 International number or +

e.g. 8-10 44 20 7946-0123 (to London/UK) or +44 20 7946-0123 e.g. +7 727 xxx-xx-xx (to Almaty/Kazakhstan)

International calls to Russia +7 ABC xxx-xx-xx (where ABC is the area code)

Area codes

Geographic area codes The dialing code range 4xx was introduced on 1 December 2005 to replace 0xx, in order to make it possible to adopt the ITU recommendation of 0 and 00 dialing prefixes for local and international dialing respectively. The old '095' dialing code, along with 19 other Russian area codes starting with '0', expired on 31 January 2006.

Special numbers (emergencies)

In a press conference in December 2013 Minister of Emergency Situations, Vladimir Puchkov said that the unified system runs in a full pilot mode from 2014 and will fully enter to operational mode in 2016.

Codes assigned to annexed Ukrainian territories In 2014, following the Russian annexation of Crimea, Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol were integrated into the Russian numbering plan. On 7 May 2022, following the annexation of Donetsk, Kherson, Lugansk and Zaporozhye oblasts, the four oblasts were integrated into the Russian numbering plan.

Codes assigned to Abkhazia Telephone numbers in Abkhazia use two area codes – 840 and 940 – in the Russian dialing plan. Until 1992, Abkhazia had a single telephone numbering system with Russia. In April 1996, the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation limited international telephone communications in Abkhazia, retaining only 16 outgoing and 24 incoming telephone channels of the 151 incoming and 182 outgoing channels that operated previously. On 15 February 1997, an agreement was signed between Russia and Georgia, which provided for a change in the communication scheme of Abkhazia with the outside world and switching channels to Georgia. The agreement met with resentment in Abkhazia, whose leadership accused Georgia and Russia of violating an earlier agreement that provided for the restoration of the communications that existed before 1992. On 28 September 2009, after Russia recognised Abkhazia's independence, Russia and Abkhazia signed a Memorandum of Cooperation through which Abkhazia was given a telephone code from numbering zone 7 and switched to the Russian numbering plan on 1 January 2010. Abkhazian numbers can be accessed from abroad through country code 7 assigned by the International Telecommunication Union to Russia. Until 2009, they could also be accessed via the Georgian country code +995.

Codes assigned to South Ossetia Telephone numbers in South Ossetia use two area codes – 850 and 929 – in the Russia numbering plan zone.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Telephone numbers in Russia

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Telephone numbers in Russia claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In mathematics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Telephone numbers in Russia before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Telephone numbers in Russia ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Telephone numbers in Russia

In research: Telephone numbers in Russia appears in mathematics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Telephone numbers in Russia in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Telephone numbers in Russia is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Russia communications-related lists, Telecommunications in Russia, Telephone numbers by country, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Telephone numbers in Russia outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
