Area Code 5348 – Komsomolsk, Poltava

Geographic Overview

The +380 5348 dialing prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Komsomolsk (officially Horishni Plavni since 2016) in the Poltava Oblast of central Ukraine. This code routes calls to fixed-line subscribers within the city's PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) and is administered under the national numbering plan of Ukraine, which follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations. Komsomolsk is located on the left bank of the Dnipro River, approximately 100 kilometers southwest of Poltava, and is known for the Poltava Mining and Processing Plant (Poltava GOK), one of Europe's largest iron ore enrichment facilities.

Dialing Formats

For callers within Ukraine, the national trunk prefix '0' is used, followed by the NDC and the subscriber number. The complete national format is 0 5348 XX XX XX (where X represents digits of the 6-digit local subscriber number). For example, a local number might be dialed as 0 5348 12 34 56.

For international callers, the country code +380 is used, followed by the NDC without the leading '0'. The international format is +380 5348 XX XX XX. For instance, the same number would be dialed as +380 5348 12 34 56 from abroad.

Administrative and Regulatory Notes

The NDC 5348 is part of the Poltava region's numbering plan, which includes several other area codes. The Ukrainian National Commission for State Regulation of Communications and Informatization (NKRZI) oversees the allocation and management of numbering resources. As of the latest updates, there are no overlay codes or planned changes for the 5348 area. The city's name change from Komsomolsk to Horishni Plavni does not affect the dialing prefix, as numbering plans are independent of locality names.

For businesses and residents, it is important to note that calls to 5348 numbers are charged as local or national rates depending on the caller's location and tariff plan. VoIP and mobile users may experience different rates, but the geographic nature of the code remains unchanged.
