Russian Mobile Number Format

Russian mobile numbers are 10 digits after the country code and always begin with 9 in international format. The leading 8 used domestically (e.g. 8-916-XXX-XXXX) is replaced by +7 when dialing internationally. Russia shares the +7 country code with Kazakhstan — the difference is in the prefix: Russian mobile numbers use 9XX ranges, while Kazakhstani numbers use 7XX ranges.

The four major carriers control distinct prefix ranges:

• MTS (Mobile TeleSystems) — prefixes 910, 911, 912, 915, 916, 917, 918, 919, 980 (e.g. +7 916 XXX XXXX for MTS Moscow). MTS is Russia's largest carrier by revenue and subscriber count.
• Beeline (VimpelCom) — prefixes 903, 905, 906, 909, 963, 964, 965 (e.g. +7 903 XXX XXXX). Beeline is Russia's second-largest mobile operator.
• MegaFon — prefixes 920, 921, 922, 923, 924, 925, 926, 927, 928, 929 (e.g. +7 926 XXX XXXX for MegaFon Moscow). MegaFon is particularly strong in Moscow and the northwest regions.
• Tele2 Russia — prefixes 900, 901, 902, 904, 908 (e.g. +7 900 XXX XXXX). Tele2 is Russia's fourth national carrier, with strong penetration in regional markets.

When entering a Russian number on a verification platform, select Russia (+7) from the country dropdown. Enter the 10-digit number beginning with 9 — do not add the leading 8 or the +7 country code again.
