Learn how to call Moscow

Today, in almost all countries on the globe, communication is arranged in such a way that to reach the intercity it is required to start dialing the number from the number “0”. Our country, Russia, is still using the G8. However, you can call not only in cities, but also between countries. To do this, use a somewhat complicated combination, namely: dial “0”, hear a beep, then give the command “0” again. Even in this case, the Russian method is somewhat different - first, the number “8” is dialed, we expect a dial tone, then the sequence “10” follows.

But do not get upset prematurely if someone believes that in our country there is no transition to world standards. Russian communications are constantly being improved, and the adoption of new conditions is taking place gradually. For example, the numbers of Russian cities have changed. Those cities whose identifier began with "0" now begin with the number "4". An example is the Moscow telephone code, which will always be not “095”, as before, but “495”.

Already in the past, the time when the code “499” was put into operation, through which calls can be made to certain phones of the city ​​of Moscow. This happened for the reason that the capacity for "095" has exhausted its information load. The owners of the “499” combination are subscribers of telephone exchanges in sleeping areas of the city. They already know how to call Moscow - they should start dialing from the new number - “495”, and not from the old one.

There is a certain scheme of calls between Moscow codes. If the “499” subscriber wants to call the same customer, then dial without the number eight - 499- + + , where X is any sign of the number. Also, users of the station "495" (Moscow city code) call each other without an eight. But between the first and second, dialing already needs to be done with eight: the subscriber served at the station through “495” calls this way - 8 + beep + 499- --, and with the number “499” - 8 + beep + 495-XXX-XX-XX.

Here you might think that it’s easy to find out how to call Moscow. As usual, it seems that it is enough to pick up the phone and easily dial the number, waiting for an answer. However, the difficulty is that the rules for dialing a numerical combination directly depend on the location of the communication node you are using . For example, a call from any region of Russia requires you to use a code combination consisting of a country number , a digital city code, and a subscriber's phone number. And for a foreign user of a communication line this method will not work. So, how to call to Moscow from abroad?

The telephone number of beloved Russia among other countries of the world is “7” (seven). Thus, the international code of the capital of our homeland of Moscow will look like +7495, sometimes instead of the “+” sign they need to dial two zeros - “00”.
