Area Code 322 – Bryukhovichi/Lviv, Lviv

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +380 322 country/area code combination is the international dialing prefix for the geographic numbering area of Lviv, Ukraine. Specifically, the +380 322 code serves the city of Lviv and the surrounding Lviv Raion, which includes the urban-type settlement of Bryukhovichi. This area is the administrative center of the Lviv Oblast (province) in western Ukraine. The code covers the central and suburban districts of Lviv, including the historical city center, industrial zones, and residential neighborhoods, as well as nearby villages and towns within the raion.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For callers dialing from within Ukraine (domestic calls), the trunk prefix '0' is used, followed by the area code '322' and the subscriber's 7-digit local number. The domestic format is: 0 322 XXX XX XX.

For international callers, the Ukrainian country code '+380' replaces the trunk prefix '0'. The international format is: +380 322 XXX XX XX. For example, a local Lviv number might be dialed as +380 322 123 45 67 from abroad, or as 0 322 123 45 67 from a Ukrainian mobile or fixed line.

When dialing from a mobile phone within Ukraine, it is also common to use the international format (+380 322 XXX XX XX) as it is universally accepted. Callers should note that the area code is an integral part of the national numbering plan and must always be dialed, even for local calls, unless the network supports abbreviated dialing for specific services.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 guidelines, the +380 322 area code is not part of an overlay complex; it is the sole geographic code for the Lviv area. However, due to the growing demand for telecommunication services, the National Commission for State Regulation of Communications and Informatization may introduce additional codes in the future, but currently, the 322 code remains the primary fixed-line code for Lviv. Subscriber numbers are 7 digits long, and the total length of a national significant number (NSN) is 9 digits (excluding the trunk prefix '0').

Service Providers and Network Infrastructure

The area is served by multiple fixed-line operators, including the incumbent Ukrtelecom, as well as alternative providers offering PSTN and VoIP services. The infrastructure is modern, with fiber-optic and DSL broadband widely available. For emergency services, callers in Lviv should dial 101 (fire), 102 (police), 103 (medical), and 112 (general emergency).
