Telephone Numbers in Russia - Long Distance and International Prefixes

Long Distance and International Prefixes

There are plans to change those prefixes to "0" for national and "00" for international dialing, but they are not yet implemented.

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:

    If Los Angeles has been called “the capital of crackpots” and “the metropolis of isms,” the native Angeleno can not fairly attribute all of the city’s idiosyncrasies to the newcomer—at least not so long as he consults the crystal ball for guidance in his business dealings and his wife goes shopping downtown in beach pajamas.
    —For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Remember? We sat on a slab of rock.
    From this distance in time,
    it seems the color
    of iris, rotting and turning purpler,

    but it was only
    the usual gray rock
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
