Calling Russia from United Kingdom: 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 United Kingdom 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 United Kingdom 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.
