The dialing code range 4xx was introduced on 1 December 2005 to replace 0xx, in order to make it possible to adopt the ITU recommendation of 0 and 00 dialing prefixes for local and international dialing respectively. The old '095' dialing code, along with 19 other Russian area codes starting with '0', expired on 31 January 2006.{{cite web|url=http://lenta.ru/news/2005/12/01/codes/|title=Москва лишилась кода "095"|website=lenta.ru|access-date=2018-04-29|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160917020141/https://lenta.ru/news/2005/12/01/codes/|archive-date=2016-09-17}}

Telephone numbers in Abkhazia use two area codes – 840 and 940 – in the Russian dialing plan. Until 1992, Abkhazia had a single telephone numbering system with Russia. In April 1996, the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation limited international telephone communications in Abkhazia, retaining only 16 outgoing and 24 incoming telephone channels of the 151 incoming and 182 outgoing channels that operated previously. On 15 February 1997, an agreement was signed between Russia and Georgia, which provided for a change in the communication scheme of Abkhazia with the outside world and switching channels to Georgia. The agreement met with resentment in Abkhazia, whose leadership accused Georgia and Russia of violating an earlier agreement that provided for the restoration of the communications that existed before 1992.{{Cite web|url=http://www.regnum.ru/news/554100.html|title=Абхазия готова к отключению каналов связи через Грузию ИА РЕГНУМ 02.12.2005|access-date=2009-11-15|archive-date=2009-01-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090127054634/http://www.regnum.ru/news/554100.html|url-status=live}}

On 28 September 2009, after Russia recognised Abkhazia's independence, Russia and Abkhazia signed a Memorandum of Cooperation through which Abkhazia was given a telephone code from numbering zone 7 and switched to the Russian numbering plan on 1 January 2010. Abkhazian numbers can be accessed from abroad through country code 7 assigned by the International Telecommunication Union to Russia.{{cite web |date=2010-01-06 |title=Abkhazia remains available by Georgian phone codes |url=http://www.today.az/print/news/georgia/58953.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120712005819/http://www.today.az/print/news/georgia/58953.html |archive-date=2012-07-12 |publisher=Today.Az}} Until 2009, they could also be accessed via the Georgian country code +995.
