Telephone numbers in Kazakhstan are regulated by the Telecommunications Committee of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry in the Republic of Kazakhstan,[1] and administered by telecommunication providers, such as Kazakhtelecom, a state-backed and the largest national operator.
Kazakhstan has been sharing the country code 7 with Russia since its independence in 1991. In 2021, ITU reserved the code 997[2] for Kazakhstan, and the country planned to activate it in January 2023. In early 2023, however, Kazakhstan applied for a change of code to 77.[3] In late 2023, Kazakhstan decided to keep country code 7.[4]
