Depends on where in Russia you are calling: for Moscow, dial 011-7-499 (for ceratin parts of the City) or -499 (for the other) and then her phone number.

If you have a number beginning with an 8, leave the 8 off. It's used within Russia

What you need is:

The code to call international from your country.
The code for Russia 7
The mobile number not starting with 8.

I have found that calls to mobiles can take quite a while before they start to ring.
