Area Code 5358 – Pyriatyn, Poltava

Geographic Overview

The +380 5358 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Pyriatyn and its surrounding district in the Poltava Oblast of central Ukraine. 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 E.164. Pyriatyn is a town of district significance, located on the Uday River, and serves as an administrative and economic hub for the surrounding agricultural region. The area code covers the town itself and nearby villages within the Pyriatyn Raion, providing fixed-line telephony services to residential, business, and government subscribers.

Dialing Formats

When calling a Pyriatyn fixed-line number from within Ukraine, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix '0' followed by the NDC '5358' and the subscriber's 5-digit local number. For example, a local number 12345 would be dialed as 0 5358 12345 from any other region in Ukraine. From abroad, callers must use the international access code (typically '00' or '+'), followed by Ukraine's country code '380', the NDC without the leading '0', and the local number: +380 5358 12345. Within the same local calling area, it may be possible to dial only the 5-digit subscriber number, depending on the operator's local dialing rules.

Geographic Allocation and Numbering

As a geographic code, 5358 is tied to a specific physical location, and the tariff for calls to this prefix is typically based on the distance from the caller's location. The numbering range is allocated to PJSC Ukrtelecom, the incumbent fixed-line operator, which provides PSTN services in the region. However, due to number portability, a subscriber may have moved to a different operator while retaining the same number, but the geographic association remains for routing and tariff purposes. The number length for local calls is 5 digits, while the full national significant number (NSN) is 9 digits (including the NDC).

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Pyriatyn, simply dial the 5-digit subscriber number if the call is within the same exchange. For long-distance calls from other Ukrainian cities, always use the national trunk prefix '0' and the area code '5358'. For international callers, ensure you use the correct exit code for your country (e.g., '011' from North America, '00' from most European countries) and then dial +380 5358 followed by the local number. Remember to omit the leading '0' of the NDC when calling from abroad. This code is not used for mobile services; mobile numbers in Ukraine begin with 50, 63, 66, 67, 68, 73, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99.
