In 2014, the Crimean peninsula became part of the Russian Federation. If your relatives live there or you are going on vacation, it becomes necessary to call the new Russian territory, and the answer to the question of how to call Crimea from Russia is important for you.
Instructions
Step 1
Russian phone numbers in international format start with +7, and Ukrainian ones with +38. For many, the situation of the annexation of Crimea to the territory of the Russian Federation turned out to be difficult due to the fact that it became unclear how to call from Russia to the peninsula.
Step 2
Naturally, the entire telephone network of Crimea is expected to change in the near future. All numbers will be replaced with Russian ones, they will receive the prefix +7. The population of the peninsula will also have to change telecom operators and get new SIM cards.
Step 3
Previously, it was necessary to correctly call Crimea from Russia and other countries from a mobile via the +38 prefix. Immediately after it, it was necessary to dial the subscriber's number. Now you need to enter the code +7 (365).
Step 4
To call from a landline number, it was previously necessary to dial an eight, wait for a dial tone, enter the numbers 1038, and then the telephone number of the subscriber to be contacted. Now it is possible to call via prefix 8 (365). To call Sevastopol, you need to enter the code 869.
Step 5
By the way, earlier Crimeans had six-digit phone numbers, but now they need to dial seven digits.
Step 6
Some of the peninsula's mobile phone numbers have already been changed, since Russian telecom operators have launched sales of their SIM cards by the 2014 holiday season. You can call them in Crimea from Russia in the same way as to any local number via 8 or +7.
