How to Call Ukraine from the US: A Guide for SMBs and Startups

You’re getting ready to call a Ukrainian supplier in Kyiv or check in with a development team in Lviv. But as you look at the phone number, you're not quite sure how to format it for an international call from the U.S. 

If you’re a small business or startups navigating international relationships, this guide is for you. We’ll break down how to call Ukraine from the US, what the Ukraine country code is, how much calls typically cost, and how you can make affordable international calls using DialLink’s cloud phone system. 

What’s the Ukraine Country Code? 

The country code for Ukraine is +380. This three-digit code is required after the US exit code whenever you’re calling a Ukrainian phone number from outside the country. It tells the phone network to route the call to Ukraine. 

How to Call Ukraine from the US, Step by Step 

Let’s break down the dialing sequence for both landlines and mobile phones: 

For Ukrainian Landlines: 

1. Dial 011 — the US exit code. 
2. Dial 380 — the country code for Ukraine. 
3. Dial the area code — usually 2 to 4 digits, depending on the region. 
4. Dial the local phone number. 

Example: To call a landline in Kyiv (area code 44), dial: 011-380-44-123-4567. 

For Ukrainian Mobile Phones: 

1. Dial 011 (or press the “+” key on a mobile device). 
2. Dial 380 — the Ukraine country code. 
3. Dial the mobile prefix. 
4. Dial the 7-digit subscriber number. 

Example: To call a Ukrainian mobile number like 067-123-4567, dial: 011-380-67-123-4567.  Or from a mobile: +380-67-123-4567. 

Bonus Tip: 

If you’re using a smartphone, long-pressing the 0 key gives you the “+” sign, which acts as a substitute for the international exit code (011).
