Area Code 6254 – Torez, Donetsk

Geographic Overview

The +380 6254 dialing prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Torez (also known as Chystiakove) and its surrounding settlements within the Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine. This region falls under the administrative jurisdiction of the Donetsk regional state administration. The area code covers the urban territory of Torez and adjacent localities, which historically have been part of the Donetsk coal-mining basin. Due to the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, the actual control and telecommunication infrastructure may vary, but the numbering plan remains officially allocated by the Ukrainian National Commission for State Regulation of Communications and Informatization.

Dialing Formats

For callers within Ukraine, the local dialing format requires the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and the subscriber number. For example, to call a landline in Torez from another Ukrainian city, you would dial: 0 6254 X XX XX. The subscriber number length is typically 5 to 7 digits, making the total national significant number (NSN) length 9 digits (excluding the leading '0').

For international callers, the format is: +380 6254 X XX XX. Here, the '+' represents the international access code, '380' is the country calling code for Ukraine, '6254' is the NDC, and the remaining digits are the local subscriber number. For example, a full international number might look like: +380 6254 12345.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers within Torez: If you are calling within the same area code, you may be able to dial only the subscriber number, depending on the local network configuration. However, it is recommended to use the full national format (0 6254 X XX XX) to ensure connectivity.
• Callers from other Ukrainian regions: Dial the trunk prefix '0', then the area code '6254', followed by the subscriber number.
• International callers: Dial your country's international exit code (e.g., 011 from North America, 00 from most European countries), then '380', then '6254', and the subscriber number. Do not include the leading '0' of the national trunk prefix.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest available data, there is no overlay code for the Torez geographic area. The 6254 code is exclusively assigned to the fixed-line network. Mobile numbers in Ukraine use separate non-geographic prefixes (e.g., 50, 63, 66, 67, 68, 73, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99) and are not affected by this geographic code. When dialing a Torez landline from a mobile phone, the same national or international format applies. It is important to note that due to the conflict, some fixed lines may be serviced by alternative providers or may be temporarily out of service, but the numbering plan remains unchanged.
