Area Code 3355 – Shatsk, Volyn

Geographic Overview

The +380 3355 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the fixed-line telephone network serving the town of Shatsk and the surrounding Shatsk district in the Volyn Oblast of Ukraine. This region, located in the northwestern part of the country near the border with Poland and Belarus, is known for the Shatskyi National Natural Park and its numerous lakes, making it a popular tourist destination. The administrative center, Shatsk, along with smaller settlements within the district, falls under this numbering area.

Dialing Formats

To call a fixed-line subscriber in the Shatsk area from within Ukraine, you must use the national trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and the subscriber's seven-digit number. The format is: 0 3355 XXX XX XX. For example, a local number might be dialed as 0 3355 123 45 67.

For international callers, the Ukrainian country code (+380) replaces the trunk prefix, and the leading '0' of the area code is omitted. The international format is: +380 3355 XXX XX XX. Thus, the same number would be dialed as +380 3355 123 45 67 from abroad.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers: If you are within the Shatsk area, you may be able to dial the seven-digit subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on your local exchange. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format (0 3355 ...).
• National long-distance callers: From any other region in Ukraine, dial 0 3355 followed by the subscriber number.
• International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 011 from the US/Canada, 00 from most European countries), then 380 3355, followed by the subscriber number.

Numbering and Overlay Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 allocation, the area code 3355 is a geographic code without an overlay. Subscriber numbers within this code are seven digits long, and the total length of a national significant number (NSN) is nine digits (including the leading '0' for national dialing). No overlay plans have been announced, meaning the code remains exclusive to the Shatsk geographic area. Fixed-line services in this region are primarily provided by the national incumbent operator, Ukrtelecom, though alternative operators may offer services under this code.

When dialing from a mobile phone within Ukraine, the same national format applies. It is important to note that calls to geographic numbers from mobile networks are typically charged at standard national rates, which may vary depending on your mobile plan.
