Telephone numbers in Russia are administered by Roskomnadzor, and the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation. [2] 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, [3] with three digits for the area code, and a seven-digit subscriber number which includes a zone code of up to two digits.

Contents

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.

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. [6]

On 7 May 2022, following the annexation of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporozhye oblasts, the four oblasts were integrated into the Russian numbering plan. [1]

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. [9]

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. [10] Until 2009, they could also be accessed via the Georgian country code +995.
