Area Code 560 – Dnipropetrovsk/Dnipro

Geographic Overview

The +380 560 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Dnipropetrovsk region (Dnipropetrovska oblast) of Ukraine, with its primary service area centered on the city of Dnipro (formerly Dnipropetrovsk). This code serves fixed-line (PSTN) subscribers within the administrative boundaries of the region, including the city of Dnipro and its surrounding settlements. Dnipro is a major industrial, scientific, and cultural hub in central-eastern Ukraine, situated on the Dnipro River. The region is known for its metallurgical, aerospace, and IT sectors.

Dialing Formats

When dialing a number within the Dnipropetrovsk region using the 560 code, the local number length is typically 7 digits, making the complete national significant number (NSN) 9 digits (including the leading '0' of the trunk prefix). The international format for calling a Dnipro fixed-line number from abroad is +380 560 XXX XX XX (where X represents the local subscriber digits).

• National dialing (within Ukraine): 0 560 XXX XX XX
• International dialing (from outside Ukraine): +380 560 XXX XX XX

For example, a local number in Dnipro might be formatted as +380 560 123 45 67 when called from overseas.

Caller Instructions

For callers within Ukraine: Always dial the trunk prefix '0' before the area code, followed by the 7-digit local number. Do not omit the '0' when dialing from a mobile phone or VoIP service.

For international callers: Replace the trunk prefix '0' with the Ukraine country code '+380'. Thus, the number becomes +380 560 XXX XX XX. Ensure you have the correct international exit code for your country (e.g., '00' in most European countries, '011' in North America) before dialing +380.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the current numbering plan, the 560 area code is one of several geographic codes serving the Dnipropetrovsk region. The city of Dnipro itself is also served by the 56 area code (for the city and some suburbs). The 560 code may have been introduced as an overlay or for specific localities within the region, but it is not a mobile prefix. It is essential to verify the exact coverage area with your local service provider, as some smaller towns and rural areas may use different codes.

When dialing from abroad, always check with the recipient that the number is indeed a fixed-line service, as some VoIP numbers may be assigned non-geographic codes. For fixed-line numbers, the tariff is typically lower than mobile rates, and the call is routed over the PSTN.
