Area Code 6259 – Amvrosievka, Donetsk

Geographic Overview

The +380 6259 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the fixed-line telephone network of Amvrosievka, a city in the Donetsk Oblast of eastern 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. The geographic area covered by this prefix includes the city of Amvrosievka and its surrounding administrative district, which lies near the border with Russia. The region is known for its industrial and agricultural activities, and the code serves both residential and business subscribers within the local exchange area.

Dialing Formats

For callers within Ukraine, the national trunk prefix is '0', followed by the NDC '6259' and the subscriber number. The full national significant number (NSN) is 9 digits, excluding the trunk prefix. The local number typically consists of 5 to 6 digits, depending on the specific allocation. For example, a local number might be formatted as 0 6259 12345 when dialed from another Ukrainian city. From abroad, callers must use the international prefix (e.g., '00' in most countries) followed by Ukraine's country code '380', then the NDC without the leading '0', and the subscriber number: +380 6259 12345. When dialing within the same local area, subscribers may often omit the trunk prefix and NDC, using only the local subscriber number, but this depends on the specific operator's dialing plan.

Administrative and Jurisdictional Context

Amvrosievka is administratively part of the Donetsk Oblast, and the prefix is allocated to the region's fixed-line network. Due to the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, the actual service availability and network infrastructure may be affected. However, the numbering plan remains officially recognized. The prefix is used for both residential and business fixed lines, and it is not portable to mobile networks under the current regulations. 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 associated with this geographic code.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Amvrosievka, dialing the subscriber number directly may suffice if the call is within the same exchange. For long-distance calls within Ukraine, dial '0' followed by '6259' and the subscriber number. For international callers, dial your country's exit code, then '380', then '6259', and the subscriber number. Ensure you omit the leading '0' of the NDC when calling from abroad. For example, to call a number in Amvrosievka from the United States, you would dial: 011 380 6259 12345.

Overlay and Future Considerations

As of the latest updates, there is no overlay code for this area, meaning that the '6259' prefix is unique to Amvrosievka and does not share the same subscriber number pool with other codes. However, the Ukrainian telecommunications regulator periodically reviews numbering resources, and future changes may occur. Subscribers and businesses should ensure their contact information is updated with the correct international format to avoid connectivity issues.
