02The basics

What is the country code for Ukraine?

+380 is the number that connects Ukraine to its diaspora and the wider world. Reach for it right after your own exit code on any call into a Ukrainian landline or mobile from abroad. On home soil nobody dials +380 — Ukrainians press the trunk 0 ahead of a city code or mobile prefix. Calling in from another country, that single 0 falls away.

Code +380 was assigned to Ukraine by the ITU under the E.164 plan. The “+” means “dial your local international exit code”; on a mobile, press and hold 0 to type it.

+38000380011 38000 380

All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to Ukraine.

03Dialing format

How to call Ukraine from anywhere

Reaching a Ukrainian number from anywhere follows one rhythm: exit code, then 380, then the city or mobile prefix with its leading 0 removed, then the line itself. Kyiv answers to 44 (locals dial it as 044).

04Number format

Ukraine phone number format explained

Strip the trunk 0 and a Ukrainian number is nine digits: a two-digit city or operator code carrying a seven-digit subscriber line behind it.

Landline

Pattern `0 [area code] [local number]`. Kyiv reads as 044; other cities keep their own two-digit codes (Kharkiv 057, Odesa 048). At home: 044 123 4567. From abroad: +380 44 123 4567.

Mobile

Pattern `0 [2-digit prefix] [7-digit number]` — think 067, 050, 063. At home: 067 123 4567. From abroad: +380 67 123 4567, the 0 left behind.

Ukraine mobile network prefixes

** Family and colleagues on the US East Coast are easiest to reach in Kyiv's early-to-mid afternoon, which lands on their morning. London and most of the EU share nearly the whole Ukrainian working day. Ukraine's clock-changes move in step with the EU, so the gaps stay predictable.

Common mistakes when calling Ukraine

Almost every failed international call is a formatting issue, not a network issue.

**Reaching for the old Soviet "8" trunk:** Ukraine retired the legacy 8 / 8~10 system back in 2009 for a clean "0" trunk and "00" international access

anyone still dialing the old way is using a plan that no longer exists.

**Holding onto the leading 0:** From outside Ukraine, let it go

it's +380 **44**…, never +380 **044**…

**Mixing up +380 and +7:** Ukraine is unambiguously **380**; +7 belongs to Russia, and some Russian-occupied areas were reassigned +7 by the occupying side

for Ukraine, always 380.

**Reading the carrier off the prefix:** Portability means a 067 or 050 number could ride any of the three networks

**Reading the carrier off the prefix:** Portability means a 067 or 050 number could ride any of the three networks.

**Dialing 911:** That's a North American habit

in Ukraine it's **112**, plus 101/102/103.

Tips to reduce the cost of calling Ukraine

Route over IP, not roaming

MCM carries Ukraine calls across the internet for a fraction of IDD or roaming rates, a real difference when you call home often.

Favour landlines for the long ones

fixed-line termination usually undercuts mobile.

Work the EET/EEST window

line up calls inside the shared business hours so you're not paying for missed-call callbacks.

**Hold a local Ukraine DID** so people in Kyiv or Lviv reach you at a home-country rate.

FAQ

Ukraine +380 — FAQ

What's the cheapest way to phone Ukraine from abroad?expand_more

A VoIP virtual number routed over IP — it sidesteps roaming and IDD charges, which matters when you call home regularly. MCM provisions exactly this.

I keep getting "number not in service" calling a Kyiv landline — why?expand_more

Most often it's the leading 0 left in. From outside Ukraine, dial +380 44 …, not +380 044 …

Is +380 the same as Russia's code?expand_more

No. Ukraine is +380 and Russia is +7 — entirely separate. Some Russian-occupied areas were reassigned +7 by the occupying side, but Ukraine's plan is always 380.

Why won't the old "8" prefix connect anymore?expand_more

Ukraine retired the Soviet-era 8 / 8~10 system in 2009 for a "0" trunk and "00" international access. Anything using 8 is calling against a plan that's gone.

Which networks run Ukrainian mobiles?expand_more

Kyivstar, Vodafone Ukraine and lifecell — three operators sharing prefixes such as 067, 050 and 063.

Can I tell which carrier a number is on?expand_more

No — number portability moves lines freely between the three, so the prefix only shows the original assignment.

Does Ukraine change its clocks?expand_more

Yes — EET (UTC+2) in winter and EEST (UTC+3) in summer, switching in step with the EU.

Can my business hold a Ukraine number while based elsewhere?expand_more

Yes — MCM gives you a genuine +380 DID you can route to any team, anywhere.
