Eternal Remont reports that “as of November 16, Abkhazia will adopt Russian area codes for telephone service. This means than everyone trying to reach Uncle Bagrat in Gagra will have to call Russia and not Georgia.”

    “This means than everyone trying to reach Uncle Bagrat in Gagra will have to call Russia and not Georgia.”

    That’s a pretty provocative way to put it. You’ll not be calling Russia, you’ll just be dialling Russia’s prefix.

    It’s the same prefix you dial when calling Kazakhstan, by the way.

    By your logic you’re calling the US when you call Canada. Canada uses the US calling code.

    For example: I’m from Kazakhstan, my phone number is +7 723 25x xx xx.
