Administrative and Jurisdictional Notes

The Donetsk region has experienced administrative changes due to the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. As a result, some exchanges may be temporarily relocated or rerouted. However, the numbering plan retains the original geographic allocation. Callers should be aware that network congestion or routing changes might affect connectivity. For the most accurate and up-to-date status, consult the Ukrainian national regulator or your telecom provider.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within the same area code): In many cases, local calls can be made using only the 5-digit subscriber number, but it is safer to use the full national format 0 6297 XX-XX-XX to ensure proper routing.
• National long-distance callers (from other Ukrainian regions): Dial 0 6297 XX-XX-XX.
• International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then 380 6297 XX-XX-XX.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the current numbering plan, there is no overlay code for this area. The 6297 code is dedicated exclusively to the Mangosh/Yalta area. However, subscribers may have the option to keep their numbers when moving to VoIP or mobile services, subject to number portability regulations. In such cases, the geographic significance of the prefix may not reflect the actual location of the device.
