The telephone code of Russia in international format, what does it mean?
Hello, friends! The telephone code in Russia in international format is a code format for telephone numbers that are usually dialed from the number +7. What does it mean? People call this symbol the international communication format, that is, calls outside the country. Sometimes people start dialing with the number 8 if they are calling using the local format.
The fact is that people often leave the country abroad, calling, for example, their relatives and friends in another country. If you call Russia from there, you must use the phone code +7 (000), followed by the number (or another code, for example, 345 when calling to another country from Russia). Using these codes, you can reach the subscriber.
In another case, the number 8 is dialed first and only then the phone number. This number option works within the country. This code is otherwise called a local format code.
Next, we’ll talk about the international phone code, we’ll look at why it needs to be saved in +7 format, and we’ll look at the classification of different codes.
How to call from home to mobile?
With the development of the mobile phone network, the role of the home telephone network is somewhat diminished today, but many subscribers still continue to use it due to lower tariffs for calls to home phones.
You can also call a mobile phone from your home phone, but the tariff will be significantly higher and equal to the long-distance tariff. So how does the process of calling a cellular operator subscriber from a landline number go? We will discuss this now.
The main nuance when dialing a cell phone from a landline is that you must dial eight at the beginning of the entire combination. It replaces the +7 combination, which is simply not available on a home device.
After pressing key 8, a beep will sound in the handset, after which you should dial the following three-digit combination - the contact operator code. Then comes the seven-digit subscriber number. The process algorithm will look something like this:

- 8 (beep) УУУ ХХХ ХХ ХХ, where:
- UUU – operator code.
- XXX – seven digits of the contact you need to call.
Attention! Home phone devices do not always have address book functions, so you should be sure to enter the correct combination of numbers before calling someone. Otherwise, you may end up calling the wrong person.
We save phone numbers with a code +7, not 8. Why is this important?
Why is it recommended to save the Russian telephone code in international format on the phone starting from 7? There are good reasons for this:
- You can make a call from another country to Russia. Be sure to save the phone number in +7 format. With its help, you can easily call a subscriber in Russia from another country or send him a message.
- Your number will be displayed when calling. If you have not saved the phone number in the international format, it will be displayed when calling another subscriber as unknown. A person can reject your call, and this is not good. Therefore, it is important to save the phone number with the +7 code so that it is visible on the screen when calling.
- There is a problem sending messages. When the phone code is saved, for example, with the code 8 rather than +7, there may be problems when sending a message to another subscriber. Of course, you can dial a phone number starting with eight. That is, use the local code format. But this needs to be done within the country. This way you can make calls and send SMS within Russia.
Interesting fact
The origin of the call sign 007 and many James Bond films has a real story that is connected with the Soviet regime, British spy Sidney Reilly (real name Solomon Rosenblum). Until 1918 in Moscow, in order to make a call, you had to pick up the phone, turn the knob three times, and you would be connected to a telephone operator, who would connect you to the required subscriber.
The first automatic dialing station in Russia was installed in 1918 in the Kremlin. Solomon Rosenblum’s cousin, Yakov Blumkin, served in the Cheka. He was close to F.E. Dzerzhinsky. Yakov suggested that Felix install automatic telephony so that there would be no need to call an operator and ask to be connected.
An automatic station from Bella is being installed in the Kremlin. 100 telephones allocated. Lenin got number 001, Trotsky - 002, Sverdlov - 003. Dzerzhinsky got number 007. The same number was duplicated for an additional device that was in Sidney Reilly's apartment. Accordingly, when Dzerzhinsky’s phone rang, Reilly’s phone also rang. It was enough to pick up the phone to listen to the conversation. eventually became "007 ". This is how the famous agent Bond, James Bond, appeared.

Dialing Rules
From a mobile phone:
When dialing a number from another country, you must put a “+” sign in front of the number. In cellular communications, this is access to international lines. Let's take Australia's country code "61" as an example. From a mobile phone number in Australia we dial ♦ +61 ♦ city code or mobile operator prefix ♦ number. To understand better, let’s take the usual Russian mobile number +7 (912) 345-67-89. In it, the “+” sign takes us to international lines, followed by the Russian code “7”, followed by the mobile operator prefix “912” - and then the number. Similarly, we call from mobile phones to Russian landline numbers. First, dial ♦ +7 ♦ then the city code ♦ then the number.
From a landline:
In Russia we call via “8”. We dial the number using a similar algorithm: ♦ 8 ♦ code/mobile operator prefix ♦ number. To another country we call through “8-10” More details: ♦ 8-10 ♦ country code ♦ city code/mobile operator prefix ♦ number ♦. The “+” sign, as when dialing from a mobile phone, is not used in this case.

We save phone numbers with the country code of the country where you live
Now, you can save phone numbers with the code of the country in which you live. To do this, dial the country code on your phone - for example, +7. Next, the number is 9373455678. Then, click the “Add contacts” button. They are called differently on phones.
Write the name of the contact and save with the “Create contact” button. You can dial this number without dialing, because it will be saved on the phone.
This is how the local telephone number format and the international format are preserved.
What about mobile operators?
With the development of cellular networks, rules for international mobile phone dialing have emerged. Regarding dialing the country code, the rules are identical - everything is the same. Dialing is carried out using the “+” symbol. The area code should follow. Mobile operators are not tied to cities. The mobile operator prefix is tied to the region. the prefix of the Caucasus branch of the mobile operator Megafon may be “928”, “938”, “929”. Currently, each operator on the website has the ability to check whether a number belongs to a region. But determining the regional affiliation of a mobile phone by prefix is very problematic.
There has been confusion regarding the ability to migrate subscribers between companies (MNP). If previously it was possible to understand by the prefix which operator the subscriber belongs to, now this has become impossible. There are various sites and verification teams for this.
Let's look at the example of MegaFon:
- If you go to the website and enter a phone number in the box, you can understand which operator this number belongs to and which region. For example, the system produces the result: “MegaFon, Russia, Rostov region.” If this number goes to MTS, then after some time the system will issue “MTS, Rostov region,” although the prefix “928” has not changed.
- The same MegaFon has a special command - *629#Call. By typing this command, it is also possible to check the operator and regional affiliation.

Price issue
Before you start calling, check your account balance. Calling a landline from a mobile phone is always more expensive than calling from mobile to mobile. For accurate information about tariffs, contact the operator whose package you are using.
The cost abroad is always more expensive than within your own country. On the territory of the Russian Federation and in other countries, communication is provided by different operators. Mutually beneficial cooperation between operators implies more favorable conditions for subscribers. That is, the price of a call to another does not depend on the actual distance, measured in kilometers, or on the territorial location of the caller. All that matters is the agreement between the operators. For example, if you are in Moscow and call Kiev, or make a call from a mobile phone whose home region is Moscow, from Kyiv to Kyiv, the price is the same.
