📍 Geographic Location of Krasnoarmeysk, Donetsk
Geographic Overview
The +380 6239 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Krasnoarmeysk (also known as Pokrovsk) in the Donetsk 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. Krasnoarmeysk is a significant industrial and railway hub in the eastern part of the country, and the 6239 code serves the city's PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) subscribers, including residential and business lines.
Dialing Formats
When calling a landline in Krasnoarmeysk from within Ukraine, subscribers must dial the national trunk prefix '0', followed by the NDC '6239' and the subscriber's 5-digit local number. For example, a local number such as 5-12-34 would be dialed as 0 6239 5-12-34 from any other region in Ukraine. From abroad, callers must use the international access prefix (typically '00' or '+'), followed by Ukraine's country code '380', the NDC '6239' (without the leading '0'), and the local number: +380 6239 5-12-34.
Geographic Coverage and Administration
The 6239 code is administratively assigned to the Pokrovsk Raion (district) and primarily covers the urban area of Krasnoarmeysk, which was officially renamed Pokrovsk in 2016 as part of decommunization laws, though the old name remains in common use. The code may also cover some adjacent settlements within the district. As a geographic code, it is tied to the physical location of the fixed-line network, and the tariff for calls to this number is determined by the distance-based charging regime of Ukrainian telecom operators.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within the same code area, it is often possible to dial only the 5-digit local number without the trunk prefix and area code, depending on the operator's local dialing rules. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to always use the full national format. For international callers, it is crucial to omit the trunk prefix '0' when dialing the NDC. The number length in international format is 12 digits total (380 + 6239 + 5 digits).
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for Krasnoarmeysk; the 6239 code is the sole geographic code for the area. However, with the ongoing modernization of Ukraine's telecom infrastructure, some fixed-line subscribers may have migrated to VoIP-based services, but the number retains its geographic significance. Callers should be aware that due to the administrative changes and potential network reconfiguration in the Donetsk region, service availability may vary, and it is advisable to check with the local provider for any temporary routing changes.
