Area Code 4731 – Talne, Cherkasy

Overview of Area Code +380 4731

Area code 4731 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Ukrainian public switched telephone network (PSTN), assigned under the international country calling code +380 for Ukraine. It serves the town of Talne and its surrounding administrative district in the Cherkasy Oblast (region) of central Ukraine. The code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Ukrainian State Centre of Radio Frequencies (UCRF) and follows the ITU-T E.164 recommendation.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The 4731 code covers the Talne Raion (district), which is situated in the southern part of Cherkasy Oblast. Talne, the administrative center, is located approximately 130 kilometers south of the regional capital, Cherkasy. The district includes several smaller settlements, such as Zelenyi Hai and Onopriivka, all of which are reachable via this code. As a geographic code, it is tied to the physical location of the subscriber's line, meaning that calls to numbers with this prefix are routed to the Talne telephone exchange.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

To call a landline in Talne from within Ukraine, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 4731 and the subscriber number (which is typically 5 to 6 digits long). The full national format is 0 4731 XX XX XX. For example, a local number might be 0 4731 2 34 56. When calling from abroad, the caller must use the international access code (e.g., 00 from most countries), followed by Ukraine's country code 380, then the area code without the leading zero, and the subscriber number: +380 4731 2 34 56.

For callers within Talne itself, local calls may be made using only the subscriber number, depending on the operator's dialing plan. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format. There is no overlay code for this area, so the 4731 code is the sole geographic code for Talne.

Important Considerations for Callers

When calling from a mobile phone in Ukraine, the same national format applies: dial 0 4731 followed by the subscriber number. Mobile operators treat geographic numbers as standard PSTN destinations, and call charges may vary depending on the subscriber's plan. For international callers, it is essential to replace the trunk prefix '0' with the country code, as omitting the '0' is a common error.

As with all geographic codes in Ukraine, the 4731 code is not portable for fixed-line services; it remains associated with the Talne exchange. However, number portability is available for mobile numbers, but this does not affect geographic landline codes. If you experience difficulties reaching a Talne number, verify that you have the correct subscriber number and that the area code is indeed 4731, as neighboring districts may have different codes.
