Area Code 6279 – Telmanov, Donetsk

Geographic Overview

The +380 6279 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Telmanove (also known as Telmanov) area within the Donetsk region of Ukraine. This code serves the administrative district centered on the urban-type settlement of Telmanove, located approximately 60 kilometers southeast of Donetsk city. The numbering area covers the settlement itself and surrounding rural communities, including villages such as Konkove, Novoselivka, and Rozdolne. As part of the Donetsk oblast, this region has been affected by geopolitical conflicts, but the numbering plan remains officially recognized by the Ukrainian National Commission for State Regulation of Communications and Informatization (NKRZI).

Dialing Formats

For callers within Ukraine, the local dialing format is 0 6279 XXX XX, where the leading '0' is the trunk prefix used to access the national network. For example, to call a landline in Telmanove from Kyiv, you would dial 0 6279 12345. Internationally, callers must use the country code for Ukraine (+380) and drop the trunk prefix, resulting in +380 6279 12345. The subscriber number length after the NDC is typically 5 digits, making the total international number length 12 digits (including the country code).

Overlays and Numbering Changes

Currently, there are no overlay codes in the Telmanove area, meaning the 6279 prefix is unique to this geographic region. However, due to the ongoing administrative reform in Ukraine, district boundaries have been reorganized, but the numbering plan remains unchanged. Callers should be aware that some mobile numbers may be ported to this geographic code, but the majority of numbers under 6279 are fixed-line services provided by the national incumbent operator (Ukrtelecom) and alternative local operators.

Caller Instructions

For local callers: When calling within the same area code, you may be able to dial the subscriber number directly without the trunk prefix or area code, depending on the local network configuration. However, for reliability, it is recommended to always use the full national format: 0 6279 XXX XX.

For international callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), followed by Ukraine's country code 380, then the area code 6279 (without the leading zero), and finally the subscriber number. Example from the US: 011 380 6279 12345.

For mobile callers: Mobile users in Ukraine can dial the same national format. If you are roaming in Ukraine, you must include the +380 country code even when calling locally.

Service and Usage

Numbers under this prefix are primarily used for residential and business fixed-line telephony, including internet access via DSL. As with all geographic numbers in Ukraine, they are subject to the national tariff plans, and calls from mobile networks may incur additional charges depending on the caller's plan.
