Frequently Asked Questions

Which country code does Russia use?

Russia uses the country calling code +7. Enter it right after your exit code, 011 from the US, and just before the area code.

How do I reach a Russian mobile number?

Mobile numbers in Russia run 10 digits and always open with a 9. Enter +7 and then the full 10-digit number, for example +7 916 123 4567.

Why use +7 instead of 8?

The '8' prefix handles long-distance calls placed inside Russia. From the USA or anywhere abroad, use the international code '+7' rather than '8'.

Can I call Russia over VoIP?

Calling Russia from United States: 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 States the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 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 States 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.
