Area Code 1563 – Dyatlovo, Grodno Region

Overview of Belarus Area Code +375 1563

Area code +375 1563 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Dyatlovo (Dzyatlava) and its surrounding rural districts within the Grodno Region of the Republic of Belarus. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Ministry of Communications and Informatization, following ITU-T E.164 recommendations. The region is served by fixed-line PSTN infrastructure, with local loop connections provided by the state-owned operator Beltelecom and its regional subsidiaries.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The code covers the Dyatlovo District (Dzyatlauski raion), which is an administrative subdivision of the Grodno Region. The principal city, Dyatlovo, is located approximately 160 kilometers southeast of Grodno and 200 kilometers west of Minsk. The numbering area includes not only the urban center but also numerous villages and agricultural settlements within the district. Calls to this code reach subscribers connected to the local wireline network, including businesses, government offices, and residential lines.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

For callers within Belarus, the national trunk prefix is 8, followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The local subscriber number in Dyatlovo consists of 5 digits, making the complete national dialing sequence 8-01563-XXXXX. Note that the initial 0 is used when dialing from abroad, as part of the international prefix. For international callers, the full international format is +375 1563 XXXXX, where +375 is the country code for Belarus and 1563 is the area code without the leading zero. When dialing from a mobile phone within Belarus, the same national format applies, and the call is treated as a domestic long-distance call, subject to applicable tariffs.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T operational bulletins, no overlay code has been assigned to the Dyatlovo area. The 1563 code is exclusively used for fixed-line services, and no mobile or VoIP numbers are allocated under this prefix. Subscriber numbers are typically 5 digits long, and the total length of a national significant number (NSN) is 9 digits (including the area code). The Belarusian numbering plan does not require area code changes for local calls, but callers must always include the area code when dialing from outside the local exchange area.

For callers within Dyatlovo, local calls may be dialed using only the 5-digit subscriber number if the call is within the same exchange. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format. International callers should replace the leading zero with the +375 country code and omit any additional trunk prefixes.
