Frequently Asked Questions

What is the exit code for Germany?

The exit code for Germany is 00. You must dial this before the country code when calling internationally from a landline. On mobile phones or VoIP, you can simply use the '+' symbol.

How do I call a Russian mobile from Germany?

Russian mobile numbers typically start with the digit 9. To call one, dial 00 + 7 + 9XX + XXX-XX-XX. You do not need to dial '8' before the number (which is used for domestic calls within Russia).

Why can't I connect to a Russian number?

Sometimes international lines are congested or blocked by specific carriers. StartACall uses internet-based routing (VoIP) which often bypasses these traditional carrier issues.

Is the country code +7 or +007?

The country code is just 7. The '00' is the exit code you dial from Germany. So you dial 00, then 7. If you see '+7', the '+' replaces the '00'.
