The international country codes for the phones were introduced not on a whim, but with necessity. Dialing a phone number with no additional codes, one can get to the local number. To call a person in another city or even another country, one have to let them know that he is referring not to a fellow countryman, but to an overseas friend. For that matter, one should add some digits to the beginning of the number – first the country code, then the code of the city or administrative unit.
Russian phone code starts with "7", and one can call it a privilege, because most of the other countries have international dialing codes consisting of two, three or even four digits. Besides Russia, a "seven" is also applicable in Kazakhstan, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The last two have been accepted in the Russian phone space most recently. But Russia is large, so after dialing "7" one should still dial a city phone code consisting of three digits. For example, "495" and "499" are the codes for Moscow, "812" is for St. Petersburg. Russian mobile operators follow the same rules: the country code "7", then three digits. For example, "911" is an MTS operator code in St.Petersburg.
