Exploring Minsk, Belarus: A Guide To Calling The City

To call Minsk in Belarus from abroad, you must first dial the international prefix, which is 810 if you are outside of Belarus or 011 if you are in the US, Canada or the UK. Next, you need to dial the country code for Belarus, which is 375. After that, you need to dial the local area or city code used for Minsk, which is 17, and finally, you need to dial the local number you wish to reach.

Exit code for the US and Canada: 011

To call Belarus from the US or Canada, you need to start by dialling the exit code, which is 011. This is the same for both countries. The exit code is also known as the international prefix, and it's used to dial any number outside of the US or Canada.

After dialling 011, you then need to dial 375, which is the country code for Belarus. This is followed by the recipient's number. If you are calling a landline, you will also need to dial the area code, which in Minsk, for example, is 17. So, the full number you would dial from the US or Canada to reach a number in Minsk would be: 011-375-17-XXXXXXX, where XXXXXXX is the local number you are trying to reach.

If you are calling a mobile number in Belarus, you do not need to include an area code. Instead, you dial the exit code (011), followed by the country code (375), and then the nine-digit mobile number. So, the full number you would dial from the US or Canada to reach a mobile number in Belarus would be: 011-375-XXXXXXXXX, where XXXXXXXXX is the mobile number you are trying to reach.

It's worth noting that when dialling from a mobile phone, you can often use +375 instead of 011-375. So, for example, you could dial +375-17-XXXXXXX for a landline number or +375-XXXXXXXXX for a mobile number.

Country code for Belarus: 375

To call Belarus from abroad, you will need to use the country calling code, which is 375. This is the same whether you are calling a landline or a mobile number in Belarus.

If you are calling from the United States, you will first need to dial the international access code, which is 011. You then need to add the country code for Belarus (375), followed by the city code for Minsk (17 or 172) and then the local telephone number. So, the full number would be 011 + 375 + 17/172 + the local number.

If you are calling from Canada, the number is very similar. You will first need to dial the international access code, which is 011, then the country code for Belarus (375), followed by the city code for Minsk (17) and then the local number. So, the full number would be 011 + 375 + 17 + the local number.

If you are calling a mobile number in Belarus, the format is slightly different. You will need to dial the international access code for your country, followed by the country code for Belarus (375) and then the 9-digit mobile number.

Local area or city code for Minsk: 17

To call Minsk in Belarus, you will need to dial the local area or city code, which is 17. This is part of the larger international code for calling Belarus from abroad, which is 375.

If you are calling Minsk from the United States, you will need to dial 011 375 17, followed by the local number you are trying to reach. The 011 is the international access code or prefix when calling from the US.

If you are calling Minsk from Canada, the international prefix is 011, so you would dial 011 375 17 X, where X is the local number you are calling.

Belarus has multiple mobile carriers, so if you are calling a mobile phone in Minsk, you will need to add the relevant mobile code before the local number. For example, if you are calling a Velcom number, you would add 291, 293, 444, 445, or 447 before the local number.

It is also worth noting that the first two digits of a Belarusian landline number can be 25, 29, 33, or 44.

Mobile code for Belarus: 259, 291, 292, etc

To call a mobile phone number in Belarus from outside the country, you must first dial your exit country code, followed by the country code for Belarus and then the mobile code and the local number.

The country code for Belarus is +375, which replaced the +7 country code from the Soviet Union in 1995.

Belarus has multiple mobile carriers, each with its own mobile code. The mobile codes include:

• 259 (life :))
• 291 (Velcom)
• 292 (MTC)
• 293 (Velcom)
• 294 (diallog)
• 295 (MTC)
• 296 (Velcom)
• 297 (MTC)
• 298 (MTC)
• 299 (Velcom)
• 336 (MTC)
• 444 (Velcom)
• 445 (Velcom)
• 447 (Velcom)

For example, if you are calling a life :) number from the United States, you would dial 011 + 375 + 259 + the local number.

Local number: the number you are calling

When calling a local number in Minsk, Belarus, from outside the country, you will need to include the local number as part of a longer sequence. The local number is the number you are calling.

The local number is preceded by a sequence of numbers that are required to connect your call to the right country and city. The local number is just one part of the full sequence needed to call a Belarusian number from abroad.

The sequence of numbers to dial will vary depending on where you are calling from. For example, if you are calling Minsk from the United States, you will need to dial the international access code (011), followed by the country code for Belarus (375), and then the city code for Minsk (17 or 172). After this sequence, you dial the local number you wish to reach.

If you are calling from Canada, the international prefix is also 011, and then you add the country code for Belarus (375) and the city code for Minsk (17). The local number is then added at the end.

For calls from other countries, you will need to check the specific international prefix or exit code, and then add the country code for Belarus and the city code for Minsk before the local number.
