Questions about +7

Which country is +7?

+7, or country code 7, belongs to Russia. Kazakhstan shares the same code under a joint numbering agreement.

What is +7?

+7 is the part you dial before a Russian number when you call from another country. It replaces the trunk prefix 8.

What is the difference between +7 and 007?

The + stands for your own exit code. 00 is that exit code across Europe and much of the world, so 007 and +7 reach the same number there. From the US and Canada, dial 011 7 instead.

Do I drop the 8 after +7?

Yes. Dial +7 495 771 8100, not +7 8 495 771 8100. The 8 stays only for calls inside Russia.

Can I text a +7 number?

Yes. Write the number as +7 without the first 8, and your phone sends the text abroad at your carrier's international rate.

How much does it cost to call Russia?

A call to a Russian mobile costs more than a call to a landline. The dialer on this page shows the exact price of the number you enter before you call.

Does Kazakhstan use the same country code as Russia?

Yes. Kazakhstan and Russia jointly hold the +7 numbering zone under an intergovernmental agreement, and each country manages its own area codes.

Is the RU country code the same as +7?

No. RU is the ISO code of Russia, used in forms and address fields. The number you dial is +7.

Why do Russians say Алло on the phone?

Алло is the word Russians use to answer the phone, similar to hello.
