Area Code 5547 – Belozerka, Kherson

Geographic Overview

The +380 5547 dialing prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Belozerka area within the Kherson region of Ukraine. Belozerka is an urban-type settlement located approximately 15 kilometers northwest of Kherson city, serving as the administrative center of the Belozerskyi District. This numbering area covers the settlement itself and the surrounding rural communities, including villages such as Dniprovske, Pravdyne, and Solonetsi. The region is primarily residential and agricultural, with local businesses, government offices, and public services relying on this fixed-line code.

Dialing Formats

For callers within Ukraine, the national trunk prefix '0' is used before the area code, followed by the subscriber number. The complete national format is 0 5547 XX XX (where X represents the local subscriber digits). For example, a local number might be dialed as 0 5547 2 34 56.

For international callers, the Ukrainian country code (+380) replaces the trunk prefix, and the area code is used without the leading '0'. Thus, the international format becomes +380 5547 XX XX. For instance, if the local number is 2 34 56, the international dialing format would be +380 5547 2 34 56.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers within the Belozerka area can often dial the 5- or 6-digit subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the local exchange configuration. However, for calls from other Ukrainian cities, always dial the full national number: 0 5547 [subscriber number].
• International callers should replace the leading '0' with the +380 country code and omit any additional trunk prefixes. For example, to call a Belozerka number from abroad, dial +380 5547 [subscriber number].

Technical and Regulatory Notes

This code is part of the Ukrainian National Numbering Plan under the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian State Centre of Radio Frequencies (UCRF) and follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations. The code is strictly geographic, meaning it is tied to the physical location of the fixed-line subscriber. Number portability within Ukraine allows subscribers to retain their numbers when changing operators, but geographic numbers are generally not portable outside the designated area. As of the latest updates, there are no overlay codes for this area, so the 5547 code remains unique for the Belozerka region.

For businesses and residents, using the correct international format is essential for reliable connectivity. When dialing from mobile phones, the same rules apply, but users should ensure they have international dialing enabled if calling from abroad.
