Area code information

14 October 2009 - numbering changes, Kyiv region changes to +380 45

Within Ukraine, the domestic trunk prefix '8' was eliminated, while the leading '0' of area codes became the new trunk prefix e.g. a call previously dialled as 8 067 xxxxxxx within Ukraine would now be dialled as 0 67 xxxxxxx. Calling from outside Ukraine remains unchanged (i.e. +380 67 xxxxxxx) as the '8' and '0' digits were already omitted for international calling.

The new area code +380 45 applies to calls in Kyiv region, outside the city itself. This is apparently an area code split; previously the region was under +380 44 area code with Kyiv city.

The standard '00' international prefix was also adopted to replace the previous 8-10.
