Area Code 5360 – Kremenchug, Poltava

Overview of Area Code +380 5360

Area code +380 5360 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Kremenchuk and its surrounding areas within the Poltava Oblast of Ukraine. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Ukrainian State Centre of Radio Frequencies under the framework of ITU-T E.164. It is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, and since the liberalization of the Ukrainian telecom market, it may also be used by alternative operators providing fixed telephony services over wired or wireless local loop technologies.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The 5360 code covers Kremenchuk, a major industrial city on the Dnipro River, as well as the Kremenchuk Raion (district) and some adjacent settlements. The region is known for its heavy engineering, oil refining, and transportation infrastructure. The administrative center is the city of Kremenchuk, which is the second-largest city in Poltava Oblast. The code does not cover the city of Poltava itself, which uses a different NDC (532).

Dialing Formats and Procedures

For local callers within Ukraine (including mobile users) dialing a Kremenchuk fixed-line number, the format is: 0 5360 XXX XX XX (national significant number). The leading '0' is the trunk prefix used for national calls. For example, to call a subscriber in Kremenchuk from Kyiv, you would dial 0 5360 123 45 67.

For international callers, the format is: +380 5360 XXX XX XX (or 00380 5360 ... from countries using the international prefix 00). The country code for Ukraine is +380, and the NDC is 5360. For instance, from the United States, you would dial 011 380 5360 123 45 67.

When dialing within the same local area (i.e., within Kremenchuk), it is possible that only the subscriber number (XXX XX XX) is required, depending on the operator's dialing plan. However, for clarity and to avoid errors, it is recommended to use the full national format.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for the 5360 area. The Ukrainian numbering plan is closed, meaning that the length of the national significant number (NSN) is fixed at 9 digits after the trunk prefix '0'. The subscriber number within the 5360 code is 7 digits long, which is typical for larger cities. Number portability is available for fixed-line services, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when changing operators within the same geographic area.

Caller Instructions

For local callers: Always dial the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and subscriber number when calling from outside the local exchange area. For international callers: Replace the trunk prefix '0' with the country code +380 and omit the leading '0' of the area code. Ensure you have the correct international exit code for your country.

As with all geographic numbers, calls to +380 5360 numbers are typically charged at standard fixed-line rates, which may vary depending on the caller's operator and tariff plan. Emergency services (112, 101, 102, 103) are reachable by their short codes regardless of the area code.
