Area Code 7112 – Uralsk

Overview of Area Code +7 7112

Area code +7 7112 is a geographic destination code assigned to the city of Uralsk (also known as Oral), the administrative center of the West Kazakhstan Region in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Although Kazakhstan shares the international dialing code +7 with Russia, its national numbering plan is independently administered. The code 7112 is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within Uralsk and its immediate suburbs.

Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction

Uralsk is located in northwestern Kazakhstan, near the Ural River and close to the border with Russia. The area code serves the city proper and several adjacent settlements within the Uralsk urban agglomeration. As a geographic code, it is tied to a specific administrative region, and numbers under this prefix are allocated to local telecommunications operators providing fixed-line services.

Dialing Formats

For callers within Kazakhstan, the national trunk prefix is 8. To call a Uralsk number from another city in Kazakhstan, dial 8 7112 XXX-XX-XX. For international callers, the format is +7 7112 XXX-XX-XX (or 007 7112 ... from countries using the international prefix 00). Local numbers within Uralsk consist of seven digits after the area code. When calling within the same area code, it is often possible to dial only the seven-digit subscriber number, but this depends on the operator's local dialing rules.

Numbering and Overlays

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for Uralsk; the 7112 code remains the sole geographic code for the city. The subscriber number length is seven digits, and the total length of a national significant number (NSN) is ten digits (excluding the trunk prefix). This structure is consistent with the Kazakhstani numbering plan, which uses open dialing with a trunk prefix.

Caller Instructions

For local callers (within Uralsk): If your operator supports abbreviated dialing, you may dial the 7-digit subscriber number directly. Otherwise, dial the full national format: 8 7112 XXX-XX-XX.

For callers from other regions of Kazakhstan: Use the national trunk prefix 8, then the area code and subscriber number: 8 7112 XXX-XX-XX.

For international callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 7 (the country code for Kazakhstan), followed by 7112 and the seven-digit subscriber number. Example: +7 7112 123-45-67.

Regulatory Notes

Kazakhstan's numbering resources are administered by the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry. The assignment of geographic codes like 7112 is based on the ITU-T E.164 recommendation. While Kazakhstan uses +7, it is not part of the Russian numbering plan; therefore, calls from Russia to Kazakhstan require dialing +7 7112 ... as well, but international tariffs apply.
