Area Code 6131 – Yakimivka, Zaporizhzhia

Overview of Area Code +380 6131

Area code +380 6131 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Yakymivka and its surrounding rural districts within the Zaporizhzhia Oblast of 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. It is used for fixed-line PSTN services, and calls to this code are routed to the local telephone exchange serving the Yakymivka area.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +380 6131 code covers the urban-type settlement of Yakymivka (Якимівка) and the adjacent villages within the Yakymivka Raion (district). Historically, this raion was part of the larger Zaporizhzhia region, and the code remains tied to the local administrative boundaries. The area is situated in the southeastern part of Ukraine, near the Sea of Azov coast, and is known for agricultural activity and small-scale industry. The primary settlements served include Yakymivka itself, as well as nearby communities such as Radivka, Shevchenkove, and Vladymyrivka.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

For callers within Ukraine, the national trunk prefix 0 is used before the area code. To call a Yakymivka fixed-line number from another Ukrainian city, dial: 0 6131 XXX XX (where X represents the local subscriber number). For example, a local number might be formatted as 0 6131 5 23 45.

For international callers, the Ukrainian country code +380 is used, followed by the area code without the leading zero. The international format is: +380 6131 XXX XX. For instance, to call the same number from abroad, you would dial +380 6131 5 23 45.

Local vs. International Caller Guidance

Local callers within the same area code can often dial the subscriber number directly without the trunk prefix and area code, depending on the local exchange configuration. However, for clarity and to avoid errors, it is recommended to always use the full national format when dialing from outside the immediate area.

International callers should note that the plus sign (+) represents the international access prefix used in their country (e.g., 00 in most European countries, 011 in the United States). They must replace the plus sign with the appropriate exit code when dialing from a landline or mobile phone.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest updates, there is no overlay code for the 6131 area. The numbering capacity is sufficient for the current subscriber base. However, like all Ukrainian geographic codes, number portability may apply for fixed-line services, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when changing operators within the same geographic area.

For businesses or individuals in Yakymivka, using the geographic code reinforces a local presence and is essential for local customer trust. For those outside Ukraine, understanding the correct dialing format ensures seamless connectivity to this region.
