Calling Russia — Things to Know
- Russia does not observe daylight saving time — clocks stay fixed year-round. That means the gap between Moscow and the US or Europe shifts by an hour twice a year when those regions change their clocks, not when Russia does.
- WhatsApp, Telegram and Viber are all widely used in Russia, with Telegram especially popular. For app-to-app calls those are free over data. But to reach a landline, a business, or someone without a smartphone, you need a service that dials the actual phone number.
- Most of Russia's population lives on Moscow Time (UTC+3), but the country spans 11 zones. Before calling someone in Siberia or the Far East, double-check their local time — Vladivostok is 7 hours ahead of Moscow.
- Russian carriers like MTS, Beeline, MegaFon and Tele2 dominate the mobile market, and nearly all numbers are 10 digits starting with 9. Mobile and landline rates can differ — check the breakdown table above for exact per-carrier rates.
- BubblyPhone has native iOS and Android apps in addition to the web browser experience. The apps offer one-tap dialing from your contacts, push notifications, and the same per-minute rates. Your account, balance, and call history sync across all devices.
- Every BubblyPhone call can be transcribed by AI for $0.02/min extra. You get a full transcript plus an AI summary of key points — handy for business calls or keeping a record of an important family conversation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I call Russia from the US?
Dial 011 (the US exit code), then 7 (Russia's country code), then the 10-digit Russian number. From a mobile you can simply dial +7 and the number. Don't include the domestic trunk 8 that Russians use internally — drop it and dial +7 directly.
What is Russia's country code?
Russia's country code is +7. Every Russian phone number is 10 digits after the +7. The same +7 code is also shared with Kazakhstan, so make sure you have the full correct number.
How do I dial a Moscow landline?
Moscow landlines use the area codes 495 or 499, both covering the entire city. From abroad, dial your exit code, then 7, then 495 (or 499), then the local number — for example +7 495 XXX XX XX. Drop the trunk 8 that's used for domestic dialing.
How do I call a Russian mobile number?
Russian mobile numbers are 10 digits starting with 9 (carriers include MTS, Beeline, MegaFon and Tele2). From abroad, dial +7 then the 10-digit mobile number, e.g. +7 9XX XXX XX XX. No area code is needed for mobiles.
What time should I call Russia?
Most Russians live on Moscow Time (MSK, UTC+3). To reach Moscow in the evening (6–9 PM), call around 10 AM–1 PM US Eastern. Russia spans 11 time zones, so if you're calling Siberia or the Far East, check their local time first — Vladivostok is 7 hours ahead of Moscow.
Does Russia use daylight saving time?
No. Russia stopped observing daylight saving time in 2014 and has kept clocks fixed year-round since. The time difference to countries that do change their clocks shifts by an hour in spring and autumn — but Russia itself stays put.
Are there any hidden fees or connection charges?
BubblyPhone has no connection fees, no monthly fees, and no minimum balance. You pay only for the minutes you use at the rate shown above, billed per minute. Top up from as little as $5.
Can I call Russia from my phone with BubblyPhone?
