Area Code 5658 – Verhnedneprovsk, Dnipro

Geographic Overview

The +380 5658 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the fixed-line telephone network of Verkhnodniprovsk, a city in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast of central Ukraine. This code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Ukrainian State Centre of Radio Frequencies (UCRF) under the framework of ITU-T E.164. Verkhnodniprovsk serves as the administrative center of the Verkhnodniprovsk Raion, situated on the right bank of the Dnipro River, approximately 40 kilometers northwest of the regional capital, Dnipro (formerly Dnipropetrovsk). The geographic coverage of this prefix includes the city itself and the surrounding rural settlements within the raion, providing PSTN services to residential, commercial, and governmental subscribers.

Dialing Formats

For callers within Ukraine, the national trunk prefix '0' is used, followed by the NDC '5658' and the subscriber number, which typically consists of 5 to 6 digits. The complete national dialing format is 0 5658 XX-XX-XX. For international callers, the Ukrainian country code '+380' is dialed, followed by the NDC without the leading '0', resulting in the international format +380 5658 XX-XX-XX. For example, a local number might be dialed as 0 5658 3-45-67 from within Ukraine, or +380 5658 3-45-67 from abroad.

Caller Instructions

Local callers within Verkhnodniprovsk may be able to dial the subscriber number directly without the trunk prefix and area code, depending on the specific local exchange configuration. However, for all other domestic calls, the full national format must be used. International callers should replace the leading '0' with the '+380' country code. It is important to note that while Ukraine has implemented mobile number portability (MNP), fixed-line numbers are generally not portable across geographic areas, so the prefix remains tied to the Verkhnodniprovsk region.

Regulatory and Technical Notes

As a geographic number, the 5658 prefix is allocated to Ukrtelecom and other licensed fixed-line operators that provide services in the area. The Ukrainian numbering plan follows the ITU-T E.164 recommendation, and the maximum length of a complete international number is 15 digits, including the country code. Overlay codes are not currently in effect for this region, so the 5658 prefix uniquely identifies the Verkhnodniprovsk exchange. Callers should be aware that calls to this prefix are typically charged at standard national or international fixed-line rates, depending on their origin.
