Detailed information on how to call Russia and other CIS countries

 

Detailed information on calling Russia and CIS

 This page contains very detailed information, including the most complete list of area codes you can find anywhere.  If you happen to find a more complete list - please let us know.  You can also find the list of cities that have been renamed after the breakdown of Soviet Union. The list is rather large, and is not arranged in alphabetical order.  So the easiest way to find the city you need, is to make a search on the page (usualy top menu "Edit | Find", or just press "Ctrl + F")

We are often asked by our American customers, why the system of area codes is so complicated in Russia and other countries of former USSR ? Why can't they just have a clear and logical system like in the US (3 digit area code plus 7 digit number) ?  Why their area codes are of variable lenght (3 to 5 digits) and the phone number lenghts also vary from 5 to 7 digits ? digits) and a long subscriber's number (7 digits). 

Well, there is a reason for that, and from a certain point of view this system is even more logical than the American one.  Russia used a different approach to assigning the area codes.  Their idea is that every city or town should have a separate area code.  In fact, the term "area code" is not used in Russia, it is instead always called "city code". Now, if you start assigning a separate area code to each city, small or large, you will run out of area codes pretty fast, if they are only 3 digits.  If you make them 5 digits instead, then, combined with the subscriber's number, it will make too long of a number.  So, the idea is like this: for large cities they assign a short city code (3 digits) and a long subscriber's number (7 digits).

For a small city, they assign a long city code (5 digits), and short subscriber's number (5 digits).  Medium-sized cities may get 4 digit area code and 6 digit subsriber's numbers.  Note that country code, area code and subscriber's number combined are always 11 digits in Russia.  The logic here is, that smaller city has fewer subscribers, so only 5 digit numbers will be sufficient.  There is also logic behind having a separate city code for each city, large or small. If you are a local, you always know that if you are calling a number with the same area code - you don't have to dial the area code, and the call is local (free). 

Conversly, in the US, because area codes are assigned to large areas (several cities perhaps) in less populated places, sometimes if you are calling somebody with the same area code as you, you get charged for long distance call.

On the other hand, in large cities with dense population, different parts of the city get different area codes.  Calls between some of them are considered local (free), yet some are long distance. 

What does add a lot of confusion in Rusian phone system, is that they are upgrading it right now, and a lot of numbers get changed. The entire cities are being upgraded from 5 digit numbers to 6 digit numbers.  To provide backward compatibility for those old numbers who are still 1 or 2 digits short, the outside callers should add one or two "2"s or "0"s, respectively, between the area code and the number.

More on that below.

Area Code List

    7 Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan

    Country code 7 was assigned during the years of the Soviet Union.
    With the dissolution of the USSR, most of the republics outside
    Russia (including republics in the Commonwealth of Independent
    States) began to acquire individual country codes. Many nations
    never recognized 1940 seizure of the Baltic republics, which are
    now using new country codes (see below).

    [If asterisk appears at end of line containing a 3-digit city code,
    add '22' or '2', respectively, before a 5 or 6 digit telephone number.
    Otherwise, add '00' or '0', respectively. This note was written 19
    Sept. 1990; later-arriving entries will be marked "&" if such add-on
    information is unknown.

    [31 Oct 1992: new information from OAG Travel Planner was found for
    these nations. Individual republics are listed now; any question mark
    after a republic name indicates that this is probably which country
    the code belongs to, but was not confirmed.

    [30 Apr 1993: some nations formerly in country code 7 now have service
    under new country codes. These are Lithuania (+370), Latvia (+371),
    Estonia (+372) and Moldova (+373), all in the European zone 3 (see
    that file for detailed listings of these nations).

    [27 Feb 1995: Belarus will use +375 and Ukraine +380 effective
    16 April 1995, as these nations withdraw from the +7 country code.
    Azerbaijan was assigned country code +994, but implementation
    appears to be limited (mentioned in BT's phone books in the UK).

    [29 Apr 1995:
    * Armenia changes to +374, effective 1 May 1995; permissive dialing
      with +7 until 1 July 1995.
    * Belarus +375 has permissive dialing with +7 until some unknown point
      in 1997.
    * Ukraine has permissive dialing with +7 for approximately six months
      following the 16 Apr 1995 activation of +380.
    * Georgia has been assigned +995; details of any changeover from +7
      are unknown at this point.

    [4 July 1995: From Kazakhstan update (ITU OB#584), 7-digit local
     numbers following the 3-digit area code in automatic dialing. Local
     numbers do not begin with the digit 0 or 8. Some 6-digit numbers are
     mentioned as being unconnected to automatic dialing.

    [3 April 1996: +996 is assigned for Kyrgyzstan, but there is no
     word when that country code will be placed in service. ITU OB#616
     lists a revised Kyrgyzstan numbering plan, but remaining within +7.

    [29 January 1997: +993 assigned to Turkmenistan; Canada established
     use of this country code with tariff effective 29 November 1996.
     3 January 1997 was reported as official start date, with +7 invalid
     for calls to Turkmenistan from 3 April 1997 (details courtesy Stentor,
     Toby Nixon, and Turkmenistan Embassy in U.S. (www.infi.net).]

    [Ex-USSR Country Codes Profile

     In the following table, "Effective" means the date at which the
     country code began service (which could vary according to the nation).
     "Mandatory" means the date at which the country code 7 is invalid for
     calls to that nation. There are a number of question marks since
     dates are not known all cases, or may vary according to the
     international calling practices of different nations.

Subject: Name Game in the CIS

Now that the Soviet Union (USSR, CCCP) is non-existent, the republics
have decided to change the names of some of their cities back to their
pre-Soviet titles.  Here is a list of names which {Time Magazine}
published last month, some of which are stated in the Telecom Archives
file ZONE.7 as having city codes:

[notice 2 occurrences of Ordzhonikidze, in Russia and in Georgia]

Old name                        New Name                Code

Leninakan, Armenia              Kumayri or Giumri       7 885 69
Kirovabad, Azerbaijan           Gyandzha                7 895
Minsk, Byelorussia              Mensk, Belarus          7 017   
Voroshilovgrad, The Ukraine     Lugansk, Ukraine        7 064    
[added by CGM from another source:]
Ulyanovsk, Russia               Simbirsk                7 842

Any edits and amendments would be appreciated.

Does anybody know if Kaliningrad (the little oblast north of Poland
and west of either Estonia or Lithuania (sorry, don't have a map next
to me) is going back to being known as Ko:nigsberg?
