Area Code 5361 – Lubny, Poltava

Geographic Overview

The +380 5361 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the fixed-line telephone network serving Lubny, a city in the Poltava Oblast of central Ukraine. Lubny is situated along the Sula River and functions as a significant administrative and economic hub for the surrounding Lubny Raion. This prefix is used for traditional PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) services, including landline phones in residential, commercial, and governmental installations within the city and its immediate suburban areas.

Dialing Formats

When calling a Lubny number from within Ukraine, subscribers must use the national trunk prefix '0' followed by the NDC and the subscriber's local number. For example, a local Lubny number might be dialed as 0 5361 2 34 56 (where '2 34 56' represents the six-digit subscriber number). From abroad, callers must replace the leading '0' with the Ukrainian country code '+380', resulting in the international format +380 5361 2 34 56.

It is important to note that the subscriber number length for this geographic prefix is six digits, making the total national significant number (NSN) length nine digits (including the NDC). This is standard for Ukrainian fixed-line numbering.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Lubny): While local calls may sometimes be dialed using only the subscriber number within a closed numbering plan, the recommended and most reliable method is to dial the full national format: 0 5361 2 34 56.
• National callers (from other Ukrainian cities): Dial 0 5361 2 34 56.
• International callers: Dial your country's international exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 380 5361 2 34 56. Do not include the leading '0' of the national trunk prefix.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T and Ukrainian regulator (NCCIR) data, there is no overlay code for the Lubny area. The 5361 prefix is exclusively used for fixed-line services in this region. Mobile numbers in Ukraine are identified by distinct non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 50, 66, 95, etc.) and are not affected by this geographic code.

Practical Usage

Businesses and residents in Lubny rely on these numbers for reliable, cost-effective local communication. When contacting Ukrainian enterprises, government offices, or private individuals in Lubny, always verify the correct prefix to avoid misdialing. For international callers, using the +380 5361 format ensures proper routing through international gateways.
