Telephone numbers in Kazakhstan
Encyclopedia
Country Code: +7
International Call Prefix: 8~10
Trunk Prefix
: 8
Telephone numbers in Kazakhstan are under a unified numbering plan with Russia
with the country calling code +7. Historically, +7 has been used as the Soviet Union
country calling code. Following the break-up of the Soviet Union, all former republics except Russia
and Kazakhstan
switched to new country codes.
As in Russia, Kazakhstan employs a four-level (local, zone, country, international) open dialing plan. A national number consists of ten digits:
The international dialing prefix is "8~10" - callers dial '8', wait for a tone, and then dial '10', followed by the country code, area code and number. The long distance dialing prefix is "8" - callers dial '8', wait for a tone, and then dial the area code and number.
Under an agreement with Russia on 11 June 2006, Kazakhstan is assigned zone codes 6xx and 7xx (x = 0 to 9) under the unified plan. Codes 6xx are used for mobile phone numbers and 7xx are used for land lines. Previously, land lines use zone codes in the 3xx range. As zone codes 3xx are assigned to Russia, zone codes 3xx in Kazakhstan were changed by substituting the leading '3' with '7'.
