Today, in almost all countries on the globe, communication is arranged in such a way that in order to reach long-distance calls, you need to start dialing from the number “0”. Our country, Russia, still uses the G8. However, you can call not only within cities, but also between countries. To do this, you should use a somewhat complex combination, namely: dial "0", hear the 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 beep, then the sequence “10” follows.
But there is no need to be upset prematurely if someone thinks that our country does not have a transition to world standards. Russian communications are constantly being improved, and the adoption of new conditions is gradual. For example, the numbers of Russian cities have changed. Those cities whose ID started with "0" now start with the number "4". An example is the telephone code of Moscow, which will always be not “095”, as before, but “495”.
The time when I wasthe code "499" was put into operation, through which calls can be made to certain telephones in the city of Moscow. This happened for the reason that the capacity for "095" has exhausted its information load. The owners of the combination "499" are subscribers of telephone exchanges in the residential areas of the city. They already know how to call Moscow - they should start dialing from a new number - "495", and not from the old one.
There is a certain pattern of calls between Moscow codes. If the subscriber "499" wants to call the same client, then you should dial without the eight - 499-ХХХ+ХХ+ХХ, where X is any sign of the number. Also, users of the station "495" (city code Moscow), call each other without a figure eight. But between the first and second, dialing already needs to be carried out with a figure eight: a subscriber served at the station through "495" calls in this way - 8 + beep + 499- XXX-XX-XX, and with the number "499" - 8 + beep + 495-XXX-XX-XX.
Here you might think that it is easy to find out how to call Moscow. As usual, it is thought that it is enough to pick up the phone and dial the number at ease, 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 use. For example, a call from any region of Russia requires the use of a code link consisting of a country number, a digital city code and a subscriber's telephone number. And for a foreign user of a communication line, this method will not work. So, how to call Moscow from abroad?
Phone number of beloved Russia amongother countries of the world - this is "7" (seven). Thus, the international code of the capital of our homeland, Moscow, will look like this +7495, sometimes instead of the “+” sign, you need to dial two zeros - “00”.
