Telephone numbers in Russia
Telephone numbers in Russia are administered by Roskomnadzor, and Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Communications 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.

Russia has shared its numbering plan with Kazakhstan, designating two area codes for routing calls to that country. Kazakhstan was assigned an autonomous country code by the ITU, and is in a permissive dialing period until 2025, during which it is permissible to still dial the Russian prefixes.
