Tips

If you plan to visit Ukraine or have friends or family living there, you should know how to dial a Ukrainian phone number. While there are minor differences between calling a landline and calling a cellular phone, the same overall principles apply for both. In this article, we'll teach you how to call Ukraine via landline or cell phone, plus some other free or cheap ways to call Ukraine. We also go over Ukraine dialing codes and how the 2022 Russian invasion has affected the dialing codes of some Ukrainian regions.

Calling Ukraine

To call Ukraine, dial your country's exit code, then enter 380 (Ukraine's calling code). Follow with the area code or mobile code, depending on whether you're dialing a landline or mobile phone. Then, enter the local number. If calling a Kyiv landline from the US, you'd dial 011-380-44-xxx-xxxx.

Dial the exit code for the country you are calling from. This code should be dialed first and will let you make a long-distance international call. The most common exit codes are 011 or 00.
- From the United States and Canada, the exit code is 011.
- The exit code for most countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America is 00.
- If you are in Australia, the exit code is 0011.
- If you don't know your country's exit code, you can look it up using Google or your favorite search engine.
- If you're using a cell phone, you can dial a "+" instead of the exit code.

Dial the dialing code for the specific area you're calling. Large rural parts of Ukraine have "area codes," while urban areas have "city codes." This code will further direct your international call, as large countries may have repeated phone numbers that are kept distinct only by different city codes.
- The area codes in Ukraine are two digits for the provinces (or "oblasts"). For specific cities within the provinces, these two digits are followed by one or two more digits.
- Ukrainian city and area calling codes are roughly the same as area codes in the United States.
- The city code for the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv (Kiev), is 44.

Dial the specific phone number. This is the number of the individual phone you are trying to reach. Ukrainian phone numbers usually contain nine digits. ^{[2]

- For landlines, the area code is included as part of these nine digits. If the dialing code is longer than two digits, the rest of the phone number will have fewer digits.
- The number format of a call placed to Kyiv from the United States should look like: 011-380-44-xxx-xxxx.

1
Call Ukraine using Facebook Messenger. Facebook Messenger allows you to place international calls for free since you'll be calling the other person's Facebook account, not their phone. To call using Facebook, open an individual’s Messenger window, and click on the "Call" icon (the small phone at the top of the Messenger window).
- You can call any Facebook users—domestic or international—whose "Call" icon is blue. If the individual’s icon is black, they are either offline or have not updated their Messenger.

Call Ukraine using Google Voice. Although the Google Voice feature is only available in the United States, you can use it to make international calls, including to Ukraine. Google Voice is an extension of Google Chat (which allows video calls).
- Before you can use Google Voice, you will be required to provide an existing U.S. phone number or be assigned a specific Google Voice number.
- While international calls on Google Voice are not free, they are less expensive than calls made on a cell phone or landline. Currently, it costs $0.13 USD to call a Ukrainian landline via Google Voice, and $0.22 USD to call a Ukrainian cell phone.^{[6]

- If you don't want to use Google Voice, there are other VoIP services you can use to make international calls over the internet.

Anticipate the time difference. Ukraine is in the Eastern European time zone, which is UTC/GMT +2 hours (and 6 hours ahead of the Eastern Time zone in the United States). Ukraine’s time zone shifts seasonally, between Eastern European Time (EET) and Eastern European Summer Time (EEST).^{[9]
X
Research source} This distinction is similar to Daylight Savings Time in many American states. The EET timezone switches into EEST at the end of March, and back into EET at the end of October.

Always drop the trunk 0 before any phone number. International calls to Ukraine never dial the trunk 0.
