Area Code 6264 – Kramatorsk, Donetsk

Geographic Overview

The +380 6264 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Kramatorsk and its surrounding areas within the Donetsk region of Ukraine. Kramatorsk serves as a major industrial and administrative center in the eastern part of the country, particularly known for heavy machinery manufacturing. The geographic coverage of this code includes the city itself and nearby settlements that fall under the Kramatorsk urban agglomeration.

Dialing Formats

When calling a landline in Kramatorsk from within Ukraine, subscribers must use the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the NDC and the subscriber number. The national format is: 0 6264 XX XX XX (with the subscriber number typically consisting of six digits). For example, a local number might be dialed as 06264 123456 from a Ukrainian mobile or fixed line.

For international callers, the country code for Ukraine is +380, so the full international format becomes: +380 6264 XX XX XX. For instance, +380 6264 123456. Note that the leading 0 of the national trunk prefix is omitted when dialing from abroad.

Jurisdictional and Administrative Notes

Kramatorsk is currently the de facto administrative center of the Donetsk Oblast, as the official regional capital, Donetsk, is under temporary occupation. This administrative shift may affect certain public services and government communications, but the numbering plan remains unchanged. The 6264 code is part of the Donetsk geographic numbering area, which historically covered several cities in the region.

Overlay and Numbering Changes

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 updates for Ukraine, there are no overlay codes for the 6264 area. The subscriber number length is fixed, and the total length of a national significant number (NSN) is nine digits (including the leading zero). No major renumbering is planned, but users should always verify the current dialing rules with their service provider, especially for VoIP or mobile calls.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Kramatorsk): In most cases, local calls within the same geographic area may require only the subscriber number, but due to the multi-city nature of the NDC, it is safer to use the full national format 0 6264 + subscriber number.
• National callers (from other Ukrainian cities): Dial 0 6264 followed by the six-digit subscriber number. Example: 0 6264 123456.
• International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries), then 380 6264 and the subscriber number. Example: 00 380 6264 123456.

Always ensure you have the correct subscriber number, as the six-digit portion is essential for successful routing.
