Area Code 5164 – Kazanka, Mykolayiv

Overview of Area Code +380 5164

Area code 5164 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Ukrainian public switched telephone network (PSTN), assigned to the town of Kazanka and its surrounding rural districts in the Mykolayiv Oblast (also spelled Mykolaiv). This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Ukrainian State Centre of Radio Frequencies (UCRF) under the framework of ITU-T Recommendation E.164. The region is located in southern Ukraine, approximately 100 kilometers northeast of the city of Mykolayiv, and serves as a local administrative and agricultural hub.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The 5164 code covers the urban-type settlement of Kazanka and the villages within the Kazanka Raion (district). The area is characterized by its rural economy, including grain farming and food processing. The administrative center, Kazanka, has a population of around 7,000 residents, while the total population served by the exchange is larger when including surrounding communities. The code is managed by the local incumbent operator, which is typically a branch of Ukrtelecom, the national fixed-line provider.

Dialing Formats and Procedures

Understanding the correct dialing sequence is essential for both domestic and international callers.

• National (domestic) dialing: From any other fixed or mobile phone in Ukraine, callers must dial 0 5164 XXX XX XX (where X represents the local subscriber number). The leading '0' is the trunk prefix used for national long-distance calls.
• International dialing: Callers from outside Ukraine should dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries, or + from mobile phones), followed by the country code 380, the area code 5164 (without the leading '0'), and the local subscriber number. For example, to call a Kazanka number, an international caller would dial +380 5164 XXX XX XX.
• Local calls: Within the Kazanka exchange area, it may be possible to dial only the local subscriber number (without the area code), but this depends on the specific local dialing plan. For clarity and reliability, it is recommended to always use the full national format.

Numbering Structure and Length

Ukrainian fixed-line numbers in this area code have a total length of 9 digits when including the national destination code but excluding the trunk prefix '0'. The format is 5164 XXX XX XX, where 5164 is the NDC and the remaining 7 digits form the local subscriber number. This structure allows for up to 10 million unique numbers within the code, though the actual utilization is far lower due to the rural nature of the region.

Overlays and Numbering Changes

As of the latest updates, there are no overlay codes or planned changes for the 5164 area. However, subscribers should be aware that the Ukrainian numbering plan is periodically reviewed, and any changes would be announced well in advance by the national regulator. For the most current information, consult the official UCRF website or your service provider.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Ukraine: if you are dialing from a mobile phone, you must always include the trunk prefix '0' and the area code, even if you are in the same region. For international callers: remember to replace the leading '0' with the country code '380' and omit the trunk prefix. Always verify the complete number with the recipient to avoid misdialing.
