Telephone numbers in Russia

Telephone numbers in Russia (Russian: Телефонный план нумерации России) are administered by Roskomnadzor, and Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation.

Internationally, Russia participates in the numbering plans of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) provided by recommendations E.164 and E.123, using the telephone country code +7, which is shared with Kazakhstan, designating two area codes for routing calls to that country.

[8] Telephone numbers in Abkhazia use two area codes – 840 and 940 – in the Russian dialing plan.

In April 1996, the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation limited international telephone communications in Abkhazia, retaining only 16 outgoing and 24 incoming telephone channels of the 151 incoming and 182 outgoing channels that operated previously.

Abkhazian numbers can be accessed from abroad through the +7 code assigned by the International Telecommunication Union to Russia.
