Area Code 3260 – Morshin, Lviv

Geographic Overview

The +380 3260 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Morshyn and its surrounding areas within the Lviv Oblast of Ukraine. Morshyn is a renowned balneological resort town, famous for its mineral water springs and sanatoriums. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Ukrainian State Centre of Radio Frequencies (UCRF) under the framework of ITU-T E.164.

Dialing Formats

When calling a landline in Morshyn from within Ukraine, subscribers must dial the national trunk prefix '0', followed by the area code '3260' and the local subscriber number. The local numbers typically consist of 5 to 6 digits, making the total national significant number (NSN) length 9 digits (excluding the trunk prefix). For example, a local number might be formatted as 0 3260 4 12 34 or 0 3260 5 67 89.

For international callers, the format is: +380 3260 X XX XX, where '+380' is the country code for Ukraine, '3260' is the area code, and 'X XX XX' represents the local subscriber number. It is crucial to omit the leading '0' of the trunk prefix when dialing from abroad.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The 3260 area code serves Morshyn and the adjacent rural settlements within the Stryi Raion (district) of Lviv Oblast. Historically, this region was part of the larger Stryi telephone numbering area, but it now has its own dedicated code to accommodate the local telecommunications infrastructure. The code is administered by the Ukrainian national operator, Ukrtelecom, and other licensed fixed-line operators that may provide services in the area.

Caller Instructions

Local callers within Morshyn: If you are calling from another landline within the same area code, you may be able to dial only the local subscriber number, depending on your operator's configuration. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format.

Callers from other regions of Ukraine: Dial the trunk prefix '0', then the area code '3260', followed by the subscriber number. Example: 0 3260 4 12 34.

International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., '00' from most European countries, '011' from the US/Canada), then Ukraine's country code '380', then the area code '3260' without the leading '0', and the subscriber number. Example: +380 3260 4 12 34.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest updates, there is no overlay code for the 3260 area. The numbering capacity is sufficient for the local demand. However, with the ongoing modernization of Ukraine's telecom network, some subscribers may have migrated to VoIP or fiber-optic services, but the geographic numbering remains tied to the physical location for regulatory purposes. When dialing, always verify the number with the recipient, as mobile numbers in Ukraine use different prefixes (e.g., 50, 63, 67, 95) and are not part of this geographic code.
