1 June 2005 - St Petersburg subscriber number changes

St Petersburg subscriber numbers that begin with '1' were changed to begin with '7', in order to prepare for use of 112 as national emergency short code, in accordance with Russian Federation Government Resolution No. 894 of 31 December 2004.

That is, +7 812 1xxxxxx was changed to +7 812 7xxxxxx, with last 6 digits unchanged.

Except for +7 812 177xxxx numbers which became +7 812 771xxxx with last 4 digits unchanged.

Permissive dialling of both old and new formats continued through 17 June 2005. Recorded message was to be applied for 30 days (unclear if the recorded message period was relative to the permissive or mandatory date).

2005 - Moscow area code change

There was an announcement that Moscow's +7 095 area code would be changed to 495 in 2005 (the specific date was since announced as 1 December 2005 - see above).

Codes of 25 other cities having the form +7 0xx will also be changed to +7 4xx format in 2005.

for fixed/wireline service Leading digit '0' in the area code is conflicted with future plans of using 0 and 00 for the trunk and international prefixes (replacing the 8 and 810 prefixes).

28 November 2004 - Rostov-on-Don subscriber numbers restructured

Rostov-on-Don numbers formerly in format +7 8632 xxxxxx became +7 863 2xxxxxx - that is, the '2' digit of the +7 8632 area code portion was moved to the subscriber number.

This affects local calling within Rostov-on-Don. This has no effect on calls from outside Russia, as the digit sequence remains the same. For long distance within Russia, the digit sequence would be unchanged, but callers should avoid confusing the old and new formats for area codes and numbers.

Rostov-on-Don thus became the fifth Russian city with 7-digit subscriber numbers besides Ekaterinburg, Krasnodar, Moscow and St Petersburg.

2004 - subscriber numbers restructured in certain cities

Ekaterinburg and Krasnodar subscriber numbers changed in 2004.

Ekaterinburg's +7 3432 xxxxxx became +7 343 2xxxxxx and +7 343 3xxxxxx (according to special table of first 2 digits).

Krasnodar's +7 8612 xxxxxx became +7 861 2xxxxxx and +7 861 9xxxxxx (again, according to special conversion table).

See conversion table in http://www.kuban.ru/forum_new/forum19/modpage/seven.htm.

 

2003? - Moscow area code split

Moscow's long-standing +7 095 area code for fixed/wireline service was split with the introduction of a new +7 499 area code for the south portion of Moscow. +7 095 is retained in the north area of Moscow, with the Moscow River reportedly used as the boundary for the code split. The introduction date for +7 499 is unknown, although reports suggest this occurred sometime in late 2003.

+7 498 was also introduced December 2003 by Central Telegraph for the Moscow region (outside of Moscow metropolitan area).

+7 501 is a wireless-based area code in the Moscow region. One carrier, Mastertel, provides fixed/wireline services on this area code.

Other information

One carrier is Rostelecom

Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, nearly all of the former USSR territories outside Russia have been assigned new country codes. Only Kazakhstan has not had a new country code assignment announced and continues to share in the country code 7 numbering plan with Russia.

There is a document on Russian numbering plan, dated 19 February 1999, as hosted on ITU website. This does not contain much detail on the numbering plan, but does outlines the expected near-term future of the numbering and dialling plans, including the introduction of:

  • 0 and 00 for the trunk and international prefixes respectively (replacing the 8 and 810 prefixes respectively).
  • 112 for emergency service (same as much of Europe)
  • 118 for enquiry services (same as much of Europe)
  • carrier selection codes to allow choice of telecom carrier
  • intra-zone calls dialled as 02 + 7-digit number (replaces 8 + 2 + subscriber number format).
  • ISDN numbers and other such services will be able to use up to the 15-digit Time 'T' maximum international number lengths (that is, +7 + 14-digit number).

     

Otherwise, the current numbering format generally remains in effect.
