Russia and Kazakhstan share calling code +7; Meta lists both as standalone markets with code 7 and does not publish the number-range split.

Free-message rules, how volume tiers are counted and Meta's price-change calendar are the same in every market: https://omnichannels.ai/whatsapp-pricing/#rules

## WhatsApp or SMS in Kazakhstan?

We do not publish an SMS rate card for Kazakhstan. If you need SMS fallback alongside WhatsApp there, ask us for a quote.

SMS in Kazakh is UCS-2: 70 characters per segment, so a 120-character message bills as 2 SMS; WhatsApp bills 1 message.

## Template languages for Kazakhstan

Customers in Kazakhstan mostly read Kazakh and Russian.
