Area Code 3851 – Gorodok/Sataniv, Khmelnytskyi

Overview of Area Code +380 3851

Area code +380 3851 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Gorodok and the urban-type settlement of Sataniv, both located in the Khmelnytskyi Oblast of western Ukraine. 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. It is used exclusively for fixed-line (PSTN) services within the designated local calling area.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The code covers the administrative territory of the Horodok Raion (district) within Khmelnytskyi Oblast. The primary city served is Gorodok, a historic settlement with a population of approximately 16,000, and the smaller resort town of Sataniv, known for its mineral water springs and health resorts. The region is situated in the Podillian Upland, and the code is allocated to the local fixed-line operator, which is typically the incumbent national carrier (Ukrtelecom) or an alternative licensed operator.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For callers within Ukraine, the national trunk prefix 0 is used before the area code, followed by the subscriber number. The complete national format is: 0 3851 XXX XX, where 3851 is the area code and XXX XX is the local subscriber number (typically 5 digits). For example, a local number might be 0 3851 234 56.

For international callers, the Ukrainian country code +380 replaces the trunk prefix, and the area code is used without the leading zero. The international format is: +380 3851 XXX XX. For instance, to call a subscriber in Gorodok from abroad, you would dial +380 3851 234 56.

When dialing locally within the same area code, the national trunk prefix and area code may be omitted, depending on the local dialing plan. However, for clarity and consistency, it is recommended to always use the full national format when calling from a different region.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T operational bulletins, there is no overlay code for this area. The code 3851 is unique to the Gorodok/Sataniv region, and no other NDC overlays it. Subscriber numbers are typically 5 digits long, resulting in a total number length of 12 digits in international format (including the country code).

For callers from foreign countries, it is important to note that Ukraine uses the international dialing prefix 00 in most cases, but this varies by country. Always check the specific international prefix of your country before dialing.
