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,[2] 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[3] for Kazakhstan, and the country planned to activate it in January 2023. In early 2023, however, Kazakhstan applied for a change of code to +7 7.[4] In late 2023, Kazakhstan decided to keep the country code 7.[5] Since 2024, +7 0, +7 6 and +7 7.[1]
