How do you call Russia from Georgia?
Dialling from a mobile or landline and how to save money.
Short answer
To call Russia from a mobile in Georgia, dial +7, the city or mobile code and the number, for example +7 9XX XXX XX XX. From a Georgian landline, dial 00 instead of the plus, then 7 and the number. Calls are charged at your operator's international rate, so messenger calls are cheaper.
Why
- Russia's country code is 7.
- Georgia's international prefix is 00; on a mobile the plus sign replaces it.
- Not all tourist packages include international minutes; prices are listed by the operator.
Details
If you call on a Russian SIM in roaming, your Russian operator's rate applies and is usually higher than the local one. Calls in WhatsApp, Telegram and Viber go over the internet and cost only the data.
