Area Code 5163 – Veselinove, Mykolayiv

Overview of Area Code +380 5163

Area code +380 5163 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Veselinove and its surrounding rural districts within the Mykolayiv Oblast (province) of Ukraine. This 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 international dialing standard. Geographically, Veselinove is located in the southern steppe region of Ukraine, approximately 130 kilometers northeast of the Black Sea port city of Odesa and about 70 kilometers west of the regional capital, Mykolayiv. The code serves a predominantly agricultural area, with Veselinove acting as a local administrative and economic hub.

Dialing Formats and Usage

When calling a fixed-line subscriber in Veselinove from within Ukraine, the trunk prefix 0 is dialed, followed by the area code 5163 and the subscriber's 5-digit local number. The complete national format is 0 5163 XX-XX-XX. For example, a local number might be dialed as 0 5163 2-34-56. From abroad, callers must use the international access prefix (typically 00 or +), followed by Ukraine's country code 380, the area code 5163 (without the leading zero), and the 5-digit local number. Thus, the international format becomes +380 5163 2-34-56. This structure is consistent with the E.164 standard, ensuring unambiguous routing through international and national PSTN/ISDN networks.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +380 5163 code covers Veselinove settlement and the villages within the Veselinivskyi Raion (district), which was administratively merged into the larger Bashtanka Raion during the 2020 administrative reform. Despite the reform, the numbering area remains unchanged. The code is used exclusively for fixed-line services provided by local operators, primarily the national incumbent Ukrtelecom, as well as alternative fixed-line operators that may offer local loop services. Mobile numbers in Ukraine are non-geographic and use separate prefixes (e.g., 50, 63, 66, 67, 68, 73, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99), so they are not associated with this geographic code.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers within Veselinove: In many cases, local calls may be made using only the 5-digit subscriber number, but to ensure proper routing, it is recommended to dial the full national format 0 5163 XX-XX-XX.
• Callers from other Ukrainian cities: Dial 0 5163 XX-XX-XX (the leading 0 is required).
• International callers: Dial +380 5163 XX-XX-XX (omit the leading 0).

As with all geographic codes in Ukraine, number portability is available within the same category, but subscribers cannot retain their geographic number if they move outside the Veselinove area. The code is not subject to overlay or additional area codes, and no changes are planned in the near future.
