Area Code 3476 – Zabolotov/Sniatyn, Ivano-Frankivsk

Geographic Overview

The area code 3476 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Ukrainian telephone numbering plan, assigned to the Ivano-Frankivsk region. Specifically, it serves the town of Zabolotov and the city of Sniatyn, along with the surrounding rural localities in the southern part of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. This code is part of the national numbering zone 34, which covers the Ivano-Frankivsk region, with sub-codes distinguishing individual districts and exchanges.

Dialing Formats

When calling a subscriber within the Zabolotov/Sniatyn area, the national format requires dialing the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 3476 and the subscriber number. The subscriber number length for this code is typically 5 or 6 digits, resulting in a total national significant number (NSN) length of 9 digits (excluding the leading trunk prefix). For example, a local number might be formatted as 0 3476 2-34-56.

For international callers, the Ukrainian country code +380 is used, followed by the area code without the leading trunk prefix. Thus, the same number would be dialed as +380 3476 2-34-56.

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The code 3476 covers the administrative districts of Sniatyn and Zabolotov, which are located in the historical region of Pokuttia. Sniatyn is a city of district significance, situated on the Prut River, while Zabolotov is an urban-type settlement. The area is known for its agricultural production and proximity to the Carpathian foothills. The numbering resources are administered by the Ukrainian State Centre of Radio Frequencies (UCRF) under the National Commission for State Regulation of Communications and Informatization (NKRZI).

Caller Guidance

For local callers within the same area code, it is often possible to dial only the subscriber number without the trunk prefix and area code, depending on the specific local exchange configuration. However, for calls from other regions of Ukraine, the full national format (0-3476-XXXXX) is mandatory. For international callers, the plus sign (+) or the international access code (e.g., 00 from most countries) must be used before the country code.

As with all geographic numbers in Ukraine, number portability is available for fixed-line subscribers, meaning that a number with this code may be ported to a different operator within the same geographic area, but the code itself remains tied to the geographic location.
