Regulatory and Technical Notes
As a geographic code, +380 5256 is tied to the physical location of the subscriber's line. However, with the widespread adoption of VoIP and number portability, the actual location of the terminal device may not correspond to the geographic area. Nevertheless, the code remains officially allocated to the Novomirgorod zone. The operator primarily responsible for fixed-line services in this region is Ukrtelecom, the incumbent national operator, though alternative operators may also provide services using this code.
Overlay codes have not been introduced in this area, so the 5256 code is the sole geographic code for Novomirgorod. Callers should always include the trunk prefix '0' when dialing from another Ukrainian city, and international callers must replace the '0' with the +380 country code.
