For international callers, the country code +380 is used, followed by the area code without the leading '0', resulting in the format +380 6257 XXX XX XX.

Geographic Coverage and Administration
The Ilovajsk and Khartsyzsk areas are part of the Donetsk administrative region. The numbering area includes the city of Ilovajsk and the city of Khartsyzsk, along with surrounding settlements. These cities are important railway and industrial hubs in the Donetsk region. The code is used for fixed-line services, and subscribers may be served by a variety of local operators, including Ukrtelecom and alternative fixed-line providers.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest updates, there is no overlay code for this area, meaning that the 6257 code is the sole geographic code for these localities. However, due to the ongoing conflict in the Donetsk region, service availability and network infrastructure may be affected. Callers should be aware that in some cases, calls to this area may be routed through alternative networks or may experience disruptions. It is always advisable to check with your service provider for the most current dialing instructions.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within the same area code, it is common to dial only the subscriber number (without the area code) for local calls, but this depends on the operator's settings. For long-distance calls within Ukraine, dial the national trunk prefix '0', then the area code, then the subscriber number. For international callers, always use the full international format: +380 6257 followed by the subscriber number. Ensure you replace the '+' with your country's international access prefix if dialing from a landline (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries).
