Area Code 4644 – Mena, Chernihiv

Geographic Overview

The +380 4644 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Mena and its surrounding areas within the Chernihiv Oblast of Ukraine. This region is located in the northern part of the country, near the border with Belarus. The 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.

Dialing Formats

When calling a landline in Mena from within Ukraine, subscribers must dial the national trunk prefix '0', followed by the area code '4644' and the subscriber's 5-digit local number. For example, a local number 12345 would be dialed as 0 4644 12345 from any other region in Ukraine. From abroad, callers must use the international access prefix of their country (typically '00' or '+'), followed by Ukraine's country code '380', the area code '4644' (without the leading '0'), and the 5-digit local number. Thus, the international format becomes +380 4644 12345.
