Local and International Call Considerations
When dialing from a mobile phone within Kazakhstan, you may need to use the international format (+7 7262 ...) if your mobile operator requires it.

For callers from Russia, note that +7 is shared, but calls to Kazakhstan are considered international and may incur higher tariffs. Always check with your service provider for applicable rates.
