Area Code 4145 – Volodarsk-Volynsky, Zhytomyr

Geographic Overview

The area code +380 4145 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Volodarsk-Volynsky (also known as Khoroshiv) and its surrounding rural districts within the Zhytomyr Oblast of 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. The region is located in the northern part of Ukraine, approximately 90 kilometers west of the capital, Kyiv, and is known for its agricultural landscape and historical significance.

Dialing Formats

For callers within Ukraine, the local dialing format is 0 4145 followed by the subscriber number, which typically consists of 5 to 6 digits. For example, to call a landline in Volodarsk-Volynsky from Kyiv, you would dial: 0 4145 12345. For international callers, the format is +380 4145 12345 (or +380 4145 123456 depending on the number length). It is important to note that the leading '0' is only used for domestic calls and must be omitted when dialing from abroad.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The code 4145 covers the town of Volodarsk-Volynsky and the adjacent villages within the Khoroshiv Raion (district). The area is part of the Zhytomyr administrative region, which is subdivided into several raions. As of recent administrative reforms, the district has been merged into the Zhytomyr Raion, but the telephone numbering remains unchanged. The primary local exchange serves residential and business subscribers, including local government offices, schools, and agricultural enterprises.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for this area; the 4145 code is the sole geographic code for the locality. However, subscribers may have the option to use VoIP services or mobile numbers, which are non-geographic and do not require a specific area code. When dialing locally, callers within the same code can often omit the trunk prefix and area code, but it is recommended to use the full national format for clarity and to avoid misdialing.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Ukraine): Dial 0 4145 followed by the subscriber number. For example, 0 4145 12345.
• International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 380 (Ukraine's country code), then 4145 and the subscriber number. Example: +380 4145 12345.
• Mobile callers: When calling from a Ukrainian mobile phone, you can dial the number in the same format as from a landline, but note that mobile operators may require the full national number including the leading '0'.

It is essential to verify the current subscriber number length, as it may vary. Always check with the local directory or the called party if you are unsure.
