The first digit “3” in all the area codes in Kazakhstan has been changed for “7”.

To make an international call now to Kazakhstan please dial:

Astana: +7-7172 – local 6 digit phone number

Almaty: +7-7272 – local 6 digit phone number (if the local Almaty number has 7 digits starting with “2” then instead of “7272” dial simply “727” preceded by “+7”).
