Call Russia from United Kingdom

When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.

When calling the United Kingdom, which operates on GMT (UTC+0) in winter and BST (UTC+1) in summer, aim for late morning to early afternoon your time if you're calling from the Americas, or early evening if calling from Asia to catch UK business hours (9 AM-5 PM). Remember that the UK switches to Daylight Saving Time on different dates than many countries, typically the last Sunday in March and October, so verify the current time difference before important calls. Russia spans 11 time zones from UTC+2 (Kaliningrad) to UTC+12 (Kamchatka), so identify your recipient's specific location before calling—Moscow operates on UTC+3 year-round since Russia abolished daylight saving time in 2014. For best results, aim to call between 9 AM-6 PM in their local time, and remember that the vast time difference means calling Russia's Far East from Western countries often requires early morning or late evening calls.
