Frequently Asked Questions

Which exit code does Germany use?

Germany's exit code is 00, dialed ahead of the country code for any international landline call. From a mobile or over VoIP you can swap it for the '+' symbol.

How do I reach a Russian mobile from Germany?

Russian mobile numbers usually open with a 9. Dial 00 + 7 + 9XX + XXX-XX-XX to connect. Skip the '8' prefix, since that is only used for domestic calls inside Russia.

What if my call to Russia won't connect?

International lines occasionally get congested or blocked at the carrier level. Intercalling sends calls over internet-based routing (VoIP), which frequently sidesteps those traditional carrier problems.

Is Russia's country code +7 or +007?

It is simply 7. The '00' part is Germany's exit code, so you dial 00 and then 7. When you see '+7', that '+' is just standing in for the '00'.

Calling Russia from Germany: what to know

Russia answers on the country code +7, with the capital in Moscow and most business concentrated around Moscow, St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk. The working language for business is Russian, and local offices generally keep hours of 9:00 to 18:00 Moscow time. Lunch typically 13:00 to 14:00.

From Germany the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +7 then the local number. Intercalling removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between Germany and Russia.

Most mobiles in Russia sit on operators such as MTS, MegaFon, Beeline (VEON). Russian numbers share country code +7 with Kazakhstan; routing depends on the area code rather than the country code.

Russia runs on UTC plus 3, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
