Dialing Tips

  • Remove the leading 8: When dialing internationally, drop the trunk prefix (8) that is used for domestic calls in Russia.
  • Use the + notation: From a US mobile phone, use +7 instead of 011 7.
  • Verify the number length: Numbers in Russia have 10 digits after +7. If your call does not connect, check that no digit is missing or doubled.
  • Save contacts in international format: Always store phone numbers with the full +7 prefix so they work from any country.
