Area Code 4641 – Rivers, Chernihiv

Overview of Area Code +380 4641

Area code +380 4641 is a geographic destination code within the Ukrainian national numbering plan, assigned to the town of Ripky and the surrounding Ripky Raion in the Chernihiv Oblast (province) of northern Ukraine. This code is part of the broader +380 464 numbering cluster that serves the Chernihiv region. Geographically, Ripky is situated approximately 40 kilometers north of the city of Chernihiv, near the border with Belarus, along the Dnipro River lowlands.

Dialing Formats

For callers within Ukraine, the national trunk prefix 0 is dialed before the area code and subscriber number. The local subscriber number length for this code is 5 digits, making the complete national significant number (NSN) 9 digits (excluding the trunk prefix). The format is:

• National dialing (within Ukraine): 0 4641 XX XXX
• International dialing (from abroad): +380 4641 XX XXX

For example, a local number 5 43 21 would be dialed as 0 4641 54321 from a Ukrainian mobile or fixed line, and as +380 4641 54321 from any international location.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +380 4641 code covers the administrative territory of the Ripky Raion, which includes the urban-type settlement of Ripky and numerous surrounding villages. Historically, this area has been an agricultural and forestry region. As of recent administrative reforms, the raion structure has been consolidated into the larger Chernihiv Raion, but the telephone numbering plan remains unchanged for existing subscribers.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Ripky area): If you are in the same local area, you may dial only the 5-digit subscriber number (e.g., 54321) on a fixed line. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to use the full national format.
• National callers (from other Ukrainian cities): Dial 0 4641 followed by the 5-digit subscriber number. For example, from Kyiv, you would dial 0 4641 54321.
• International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 380 (Ukraine's country code), then 4641, and finally the 5-digit subscriber number. Example: +380 4641 54321.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 updates, there is no overlay code for this area. The +380 4641 code is exclusively assigned to fixed-line services (PSTN) and is not used for mobile or VoIP numbers. Mobile numbers in Ukraine use separate non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 50, 63, 67, 95, etc.). If you receive a call from +380 4641, it originates from a fixed line in the Ripky area. For emergency services, dial 101 (fire), 102 (police), or 103 (ambulance) from any phone in Ukraine.
