Area Code 5443 – Belopoly, Sumy

Geographic Overview

The +380 5443 dialing prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the fixed-line telephone network serving the town of Bilopillia (also transliterated as Belopoly) and its surrounding rural districts within the Sumy Oblast of northeastern Ukraine. This area falls under the administrative jurisdiction of the Sumy regional council and is part of the historic region of Sloboda Ukraine. The code covers the central and western parts of the Sumy region, including the town of Vorozhba and several adjacent villages, but it is distinct from the larger Sumy city code (+380 542).

Dialing Formats

When calling a fixed-line subscriber in Bilopillia from within Ukraine, the national trunk prefix 0 is used, followed by the area code and the subscriber number. The complete national format is: 0 5443 XX XX XX (where X represents the 6-digit local subscriber number). For example, a local number might be dialed as 05443 123456.

For international callers, the Ukrainian country code +380 replaces the trunk prefix, and the area code is used without the leading zero. The international format is: +380 5443 XX XX XX. Thus, the same number would be dialed as +380 5443 123456 from abroad.

Caller Instructions

Local callers within the Bilopillia zone can often dial the 6-digit subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the local exchange configuration. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to use the full national format, especially when calling from mobile networks.

Callers from other Ukrainian cities must dial the trunk prefix 0, then the area code 5443, followed by the subscriber number. For example, from Kyiv, one would dial 0 5443 123456.

International callers should dial their country's exit code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), followed by 380, then 5443 and the subscriber number. For instance, from the UK, a caller would dial 00 380 5443 123456.

The code is used exclusively for fixed-line PSTN services, and as of the latest regulatory updates, there are no overlay codes planned for this area. Calls to this code are subject to standard national and international tariff rates, which are determined by the operator of the calling party.
