# 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. Russia's National Numbering Plan (NNP) is a four-level telephone numbering plan with local, zone, country, and international scopes, implementing a closed numbering plan, in which the number of digits of all national significant numbers (NSN) assigned to subscriber telephones is fixed at ten, with three digits for the area code, and a seven-digit subscriber number which includes a zone code of up to two digits.
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.
+7 ITU country code was originally assigned to the Soviet Union. After the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union, the code continued to be used by the fifteen successor states, the majority of whom switched to own country codes from the +3xx and +9xx ranges between 1993 and 1998. Currently, the +7 country code is only assigned by ITU to two countries: Russia and Kazakhstan.

### List of geographic area codes in Russia

The dialing code range 4xx was introduced on 1 December 2005 to replace 0xx, in order to make it possible to adopt the ITU convention of 0 and 00 dialing prefixes for local and international dialing respectively. The old '095' dialing code, along with 19 other Russian area codes starting with '0', expired on 31 January 2006.
On 7 May 2022, following the annexation of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporozhye oblasts, the four oblasts were integrated into the Russian numbering plan.

### Codes assigned to Abkhazia

Telephone numbers in Abkhazia use two area codes – 840 and 940 – in the Russian dialing plan. Until 1992, Abkhazia had a single telephone numbering system with Russia. 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. On 15 February 1997, an agreement was signed between Russia and Georgia, which provided for a change in the communication scheme of Abkhazia with the outside world and switching channels to Georgia. The agreement met with resentment in Abkhazia, whose leadership accused Georgia and Russia of violating an earlier agreement that provided for the restoration of the communications that existed before 1992.
On 28 September 2009, after Russia recognised Abkhazia's independence, Russia and Abkhazia signed a Memorandum of Cooperation through which Abkhazia was given a telephone code from the +7 numbering zone and switched to the Russian numbering plan on 1 January 2010. Abkhazian numbers can be accessed from abroad through the +7 code assigned by the International Telecommunication Union to Russia. Until 2009, they could also be accessed via the Georgian country code +995.
