Area Code 5342 – Kozelshchina, Poltava

Overview of Area Code +380 5342

Area code +380 5342 is a geographic destination code within the Ukrainian national numbering plan, assigned to the Kozelshchyna district of the Poltava Oblast (region) in central Ukraine. This code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services and follows the ITU-T E.164 international dialing format. The administrative center of this district is the urban-type settlement of Kozelshchyna, which serves as the primary hub for the surrounding rural communities.

Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction

The +380 5342 code covers the territory of Kozelshchyna Raion, which includes the settlement of Kozelshchyna and numerous villages such as Briukhovetske, Vyshniaky, Hovtva, and others. Administratively, the district falls under the jurisdiction of the Poltava Oblast Council. The region is predominantly agricultural, with local businesses and residential subscribers relying on the fixed-line network for communication.

Dialing Formats

For callers within Ukraine, the national trunk prefix 0 is used, followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The complete national format is: 0 5342 XX-XX-XX (where X represents the local subscriber digits). For international callers, the country code +380 replaces the trunk prefix, resulting in: +380 5342 XX-XX-XX. For example, a local number in Kozelshchyna might be dialed as 0 5342 3-45-67 domestically and +380 5342 3-45-67 from abroad.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers within the Kozelshchyna district can often dial the subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the local network configuration. However, for calls from other regions of Ukraine, the full national format (0 5342 ...) is mandatory.
• International callers must replace the leading zero with the +380 country code and omit any additional trunk prefixes. Always verify the exact subscriber number length, as it may vary from 5 to 7 digits.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T and Ukrainian NAP (National Administration of Communications) updates, there are no overlay codes for 5342. The numbering capacity is sufficient for the district's demand. Subscribers in this area are assigned numbers under the geographic scheme, and number portability is not applicable for fixed lines in the same way as for mobile services.

Practical Examples

To illustrate, if a local business in Kozelshchyna has the number 5-12-34, a caller from Kyiv would dial 0 5342 5-12-34, while a caller from the United States would dial +380 5342 5-12-34. Always confirm the number with the recipient, as fixed-line numbers in Ukraine may be migrated to VoIP, but the geographic code remains unchanged.
