📍 Geographic Location of Snigurovka, Mykolayiv
Geographic Overview
The +380 5162 dialing prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Snihurivka district within the Mykolaiv Oblast of southern Ukraine. Snihurivka (Снігурівка) serves as the administrative center for the surrounding raion, a primarily agricultural region situated along the Inhulets River. The code covers the town itself and adjacent rural settlements, with local telecommunications infrastructure historically operated by the national incumbent provider, Ukrtelecom, and now shared with alternative fixed-line operators under the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian State Center of Radio Frequencies and the National Commission for State Regulation of Communications.
Dialing Formats and Usage
For callers within Ukraine, the number is dialed in national format as 0 5162 XXX XX, where the leading “0” is the trunk prefix, “5162” is the geographic destination code, and the remaining five to seven digits constitute the local subscriber number. From abroad, callers must use the international format +380 5162 XXX XX, omitting the trunk zero. For example, a local call to a subscriber in Snihurivka would be dialed as 0 5162 3 45 67, while an international caller would dial +380 5162 3 45 67. The number length after the country code is typically nine digits, including the NDC.
Regulatory and Technical Notes
As a geographic code, 5162 is tied to the physical location of the fixed-line network. However, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching operators, though the geographic significance remains for routing purposes. Calls to this code are subject to standard national and international tariffs, which vary by operator and service plan. For VoIP users, the code can be reached via IP-based interconnection, but emergency services (112) are always routed based on the caller’s actual location, not the dialed prefix.
Businesses and residents in the area rely on this code for local communications, and it is essential for international partners to use the correct format to avoid misrouting. Since 2009, Ukraine has implemented an open numbering plan, meaning no change to the NDC length is anticipated in the near term. For the most current dialing instructions, always consult your service provider or the official Ukrainian numbering plan.
