Area Code 4748 – Mankivka, Cherkasy

Overview of Area Code +380 4748

Area code +380 4748 is a geographic destination code assigned under the Ukrainian national numbering plan (ITU-T E.164). It serves the town of Mankivka and the surrounding rural settlements within the Cherkasy Oblast (Cherkasy region) of central Ukraine. Administratively, Mankivka is the administrative center of the Mankivka Raion (district). The code is part of the Cherkasy numbering area, which is identified by the trunk prefix 474. The specific local exchange prefix 48 routes calls to the Mankivka district's wireline telephone network.

Geographic Coverage and Dialing Formats

The +380 4748 code covers the fixed-line subscribers in Mankivka and nearby villages, including but not limited to Mala Mankivka, Ivanivka, and other localities within the district. The geographic allocation means that the code is tied to a physical location, and calls are routed over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to the local exchange.

National dialing format: From any phone in Ukraine, callers must dial 0 4748 XXX XX (where X represents the subscriber's local number). The leading '0' is the trunk prefix used for national calls. International format: From abroad, callers dial +380 4748 XXX XX (or the international access code of the originating country followed by 380 4748 XXX XX).

For example, a local number might be formatted as +380 4748 2 34 56 when dialed internationally, and as 0 4748 2 34 56 when dialed within Ukraine.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Mankivka): In many cases, local calls within the same exchange may require only the subscriber number (XXX XX), but it is safer to dial the full national format 0 4748 XXX XX to ensure proper routing.
• National callers (from other Ukrainian cities): Always dial the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and subscriber number: 0 4748 XXX XX.
• International callers: Dial the international access code (e.g., 00 from most countries, or '+' from mobile phones), then the country code 380, the area code 4748 (without the leading '0'), and the subscriber number: +380 4748 XXX XX.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the current numbering plan, there is no overlay code for the Mankivka area. The Cherkasy region uses multiple area codes (e.g., 472 for Cherkasy city, 473 for other districts), and 4748 is specifically assigned to the Mankivka district. Subscriber numbers within this code are typically 5 to 7 digits long, depending on the local exchange capacity. The code is used exclusively for fixed-line services; mobile numbers in Ukraine are assigned separate non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 50, 63, 67, 95, etc.) and are not tied to a specific area.

When dialing from abroad, it is essential to omit the leading '0' of the area code. The plus sign (+) replaces the international access code, allowing calls from mobile devices to be dialed directly.
