📍 Geographic Location of Tlumach, Ivano-Frankivsk
Geographic Overview
The +380 3479 dialing prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Tlumach district (Tlumatskyi raion) of the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast in western Ukraine. This area is served by the fixed-line PSTN network, with numbers typically used by residential subscribers, local businesses, and administrative institutions. The administrative center of the district is the city of Tlumach, located approximately 25 kilometers southeast of Ivano-Frankivsk, the regional capital.
Dialing Format and Usage
When calling a fixed-line subscriber in Tlumach from within Ukraine, the trunk prefix '0' is dialed before the area code, followed by the local subscriber number. The complete national format is 0 3479 XX-XX-XX, where '3479' is the NDC and the subscriber number typically consists of 5 to 7 digits, depending on the local exchange capacity. For international callers, the country code +380 is used, and the leading '0' of the trunk prefix is omitted. Thus, the international format becomes +380 3479 XX-XX-XX. For example, a local number might be dialed as 0 3479 2-12-34 from within Ukraine, or +380 3479 2-12-34 from abroad.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for the Tlumach area; the 3479 code remains the sole geographic prefix for the district. However, subscribers may have migrated to VoIP or mobile alternatives, but the geographic prefix remains tied to the physical location of the fixed line. Callers should note that while mobile numbers in Ukraine are non-geographic and use prefixes starting with '50', '66', '95', etc., the 3479 code is strictly for fixed-line services.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within the Tlumach district, it may be possible to dial only the subscriber number without the area code, depending on the local exchange configuration. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format. For callers from other regions of Ukraine, dial the trunk prefix '0', then the area code '3479', followed by the subscriber number. For international callers, dial the international access code (e.g., '00' from most countries), then Ukraine's country code '380', then the area code '3479' (without the leading '0'), and the subscriber number.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
The Ukrainian National Commission for State Regulation of Communications and Informatization (NCCIR) manages the numbering plan. The 3479 code is part of the geographic numbering scheme, and tariffs for calls to this prefix are typically lower than those to mobile or special service numbers. For businesses, having a local geographic number can enhance trust and local presence. For detailed information on number portability or specific line assignments, subscribers should contact their local telecom operator.
