Instruction manual
1
Analyze the phone number that appears on the display. The first digits indicate the country code. This is usually one, two or three digits. Remember that the code of the Russian Federation is the number "7". The following is the code of the desired city. In regional centers, the telephone code consists of three digits, and in other settlements of five, with the first three indicating the area code, and the second two indicating the area code. For example, the number "+ 7-843-66 is a phone number." "+7" - means that the city is in the Russian Federation, and "843-66" is the code of the settlement, where "843" is the code of Kazan, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, and "84366" is the code of the village of Arsk, located in this republic.

Rewrite the code of the desired city separately or remember it. In the case of an example, these will be the numbers "84366".

Identify the city name by code. In this case, you have two ways. Open the printed telephone directory. As a rule, on the first or last page of the directory there is a list of cities with codes. Analyze the lists and find the name of the city you are looking for. This method is inconvenient in that you need to spend a lot of time searching, and not the fact that the city you need is in the directory.

The second way to search is more modern and quick. Open a browser to access the Internet. Enter the site www.telcode.ru in the address bar. In the search form, enter the phone code of the city without spaces or separators. Click "Show." The online directory will show you, upon request, the name of the city you are looking for and the district center in which it is located. The standard search form searches for cities in the Russian Federation. In order to select another country, above the search there is a list of various CIS countries. Select the required country and enter the code in the new search form.

Find the city you are looking for on the map in the atlas. If you do not have an atlas, then use the Internet. Go to http://maps.google.com , in the search bar enter the name of the city you are looking for and click on the right the search icon in the form of a magnifying glass. The service will display the desired city on the map. If necessary, you can zoom in on the map to view the city in more detail, or zoom out to see where it is located.
