Kazakhstan is another state, so calls are made according to international rules. The country has its own phone code, but before that you need to dial other codes to reach the international line. You can call Kazakhstan either from your home landline telephone or from a public telephone installed in a public place, or you can use your mobile phone.
Instruction manual
1
If you decide to call Kazakhstan from a public pay phone, you will need a phone card. You can buy it at any post office, as well as in many stalls with newspapers.
2
To call Kazakhstan from a landline number, you must first dial 8. After waiting for the dial tone, dial 10. 10 is the code to enter the international line. Then the number 7 is the telephone code assigned to Kazakhstan. After that, you can start dialing the area code, then you should directly dial the number of the subscriber you are calling.
3
For those subscribers who are located in a country whose telephone code matches the code of Kazakhstan, that is, 7, you can not dial the international access code, but immediately start dialing the number. Russia has a telephone code of 7, so you can call from a landline phone just by dialing 8, then you need to wait for a beep and immediately dial the area code and number that you need.
4
Making a call from a mobile phone to a landline is even easier. You need to dial +7, then the area code and phone number of the subscriber you need. Some mobile operators require that the number 8 be dialed instead of +7. SMS messages are sent according to the same principle.
5
To call from a mobile number from Russia to a mobile number in Kazakhstan, just dial it. No additional codes are required.
6
If you are calling from a country whose code is different from 7, then you need to dial the number in accordance with its rules. For example, for Ukraine, a call from a landline phone happens like this. First dial 0 - this is the long-distance call. Redialing the number 0 means getting on the international line already. Now you should dial the code of Kazakhstan - 7. Then the city code and phone number.
note
For some landline phones, the possibility of international telephone calls may be disabled. For example, this often happens if the phone is located in a rented apartment. In this case, the landlord often disables the possibility of calls to any numbers other than local numbers, so as not to be in a situation where you have to pay huge bills for telephone calls of tenants.
Useful advice
If you call to Astana, then the city code is 717-2, for Almaty the code is 727.
