Russia numbering plan & how to dial
Russia uses an open numbering plan under country code +7. After the country code, a 3-digit area or mobile prefix is followed by a 7-digit subscriber number, giving a 10-digit national number. Domestic numbers are often written with a leading trunk "0" that is omitted when dialing Russia from abroad.
Russia has 85% internet penetration and is served by 3 major mobile networks (MTS, MegaFon, VimpelCom (Beeline)). VoIP is restricted and Roskomnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision of Communications) licenses only approved operators. The local currency is RUB and the primary language is Russian, which shape IVR prompts, SMS content, and business-hours handling.
Most European numbering plans follow ITU-T E.164 with a national trunk prefix that is dropped for international dialing, and cross-border VoIP is widely supported across the region.
Skipping the exit code
Russia calls from the US need 011 first, then +7 — the exit code isn't optional.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
If a Russia number is written with a leading 0 for domestic use, omit that 0 after the +7 country code when calling from abroad.
Ignoring the time difference
Before dialing Russia, check the local clock — it runs on UTC+3, and off-hours calls tend to go unanswered.
Using non-compliant routes
Because Roskomnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision of Communications) tightly regulates VoIP in Russia, only licensed routes deliver reliably; grey routes risk being blocked outright.
Restricted — Roskomnadzor licensed only
Regulated by Roskomnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision of Communications)
- VoIP services require a licence from Roskomnadzor; foreign VoIP providers face significant operational restrictions.
- SORM (System for Operative Investigative Activities) mandates full lawful interception for all operators.
- Russia's Sovereign Internet Law (RuNet) imposes strict traffic routing and data localisation requirements on all telecom operators.

FAQ
Calling Russia — frequently asked questions
Yes, where locally supported — a single Twiching Russia number can handle both voice calls and SMS. That avoids the overhead of provisioning and managing two separate numbers for one customer-facing line.
Russian is the primary language in Russia — IVR prompts, SMS copy, and support scripts should be written in it for the best response rates. Getting the greeting and menu options right in the local language is often the difference between a caller staying on the line or hanging up.
Russia uses an open plan: a separate 3-digit area or mobile prefix followed by a 7-digit subscriber number. The prefix is what routes the call to the right region or network once it lands in the country.
Russia's area or mobile prefix is 3 digits, dialed right after the +7 country code and before the 7-digit subscriber number. Missing or mistyping that prefix is one of the most common reasons a call to Russia fails to connect.
Russia runs on UTC+3. Knowing this helps schedule calls and support hours so they land during the local business day rather than the middle of the night for the person picking up.
Yes — Russia is one of 191+ countries in Twiching's directory, with virtual numbers, SIP termination, and Tier-1 routing available. It's part of the same platform used to manage numbers across every other country in the directory.
