How to Dial an Uzbek Number

Uzbekistan's country code is +998. When dialling in international format, drop the leading zero from the area code. Tashkent's local prefix is 071 or 078, but internationally you dial just 71 or 78.

Uzbek mobile numbers all start with 9X (e.g. 90, 91, 93, 94, 95, 97, 98, 99). Type the full number into the Give a ring dial pad starting with +998 and the app takes care of the rest.

Example — Tashkent (landline)
+998 71 123 45 67
+998 — Uzbekistan country code 71 — Tashkent code (no leading zero) 123 45 67 — subscriber number
Example — Mobile number
+998 90 123 45 67
90 — mobile operator prefix (Beeline UZ etc.)

🇺🇿 Surprising & Funny Facts About Uzbekistan

🗺️

The Doubly Landlocked Country

Uzbekistan is one of only two countries in the world where you need to cross at least two international borders to reach the sea. The other is tiny Liechtenstein in Europe. Geographers call these nations "doubly landlocked." All of Uzbekistan's neighbours — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan — are themselves landlocked. Getting to the ocean from Tashkent is quite the commitment.

☀️

300 Days of Sunshine a Year

Uzbekistan averages roughly 300 sunny days per year — about as many as Miami or Los Angeles. Tashkent is one of the sunniest capital cities in all of Eurasia. This explains why Uzbek apricots, peaches and melons are renowned across the world for their extraordinary sweetness: the fruit is essentially sun-soaked for months on end.

🕌

Samarkand Is Older Than Rome

Samarkand is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on Earth, founded around the 7th century BC — making it older than Rome. When Alexander the Great conquered it in 329 BC, he was reportedly so awestruck he declared everything he had heard about the city was true, except it was far more beautiful than he had imagined.

🍑

The Land of 160 Melon Varieties

Uzbekistan is home to more than 160 distinct varieties of melon. An annual melon festival in Khorezm draws thousands of visitors. The local "torpedo" melon can weigh up to 10 kg and is so sweet that Uzbeks serve it as dessert in place of cake. During the Soviet era, aircraft would make special flights to Moscow loaded with crates of Uzbek melon destined for the Kremlin.

🐪

The Heart of the Silk Road

For over a thousand years, the territory of Uzbekistan was the central crossroads of the Great Silk Road linking China with Europe. Bukhara, Samarkand and Khiva were the greatest trading cities between East and West. Paper manufacturing outside China was first achieved here in the 8th century, after Arab forces captured Chinese paper-making craftsmen following a battle on the Talas River.

🎓

The Birthplace of the Father of Algebra

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi — a 9th-century mathematician born in the region of modern Uzbekistan — invented algebra and introduced the decimal number system to Europe. The word "algorithm" comes from the Latinisation of his name. He laid the mathematical foundations without which no computer, smartphone, or — for that matter — app like Give a Ring could ever exist.

Frequently Asked Questions

With Give a ring, calls from Russia to Uzbekistan start at ₽13 per minute in 2026 — significantly cheaper than roaming charges from Russian mobile operators. The exact rate is displayed in the app before you dial.
Uzbekistan's country code is +998. Drop the leading zero from the area code when dialling internationally. Tashkent's "071" becomes "71", "078" becomes "78". Mobile numbers follow the pattern +998 9X XXX XX XX (where 9X is the operator prefix: 90, 91, 93, 94, 95, 97, 98, 99). The full format is +998 [code without 0] [number]. On the Give a ring dial pad, just start with +998 — the app handles formatting automatically.
No SIM card needed. Give a ring works entirely over the internet — any Wi-Fi or mobile connection (4G/5G) is sufficient to make and receive calls.
Absolutely. Uzbekistan borders only landlocked countries — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan — none of which has coastline on an ocean. This means reaching the sea from Uzbekistan requires crossing at least two international borders. The only other country in the world sharing this quirky geographical status is Liechtenstein in Europe.
Yes — calls between Give a ring users are completely free, regardless of which country each person is in. Open the Contacts section, find the green double-handset icon next to a contact's name, and tap it to start a free call.
