Telephone number format

There are lots of useful phone numbers, but all of them in different formats. Funnily enough, even numbers which have exactly the same prefix are mentioned in different formats within the same line :):
"Mountain rescue service
Lviv
tel.:00380 0322 395 470, (+38 0322) 395 070"
In addition, the number in Vorokhta ("00380 - 034 - 344 11 49") is just plain wrong, because it has an extra "0". It should be either "...380 34..." or "...38 034...", but never "...380 034...". The source of this error is probably the fact that in Ukraine, there is "380" as the country code and "34" as the first digits of long-distance codes within Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast (Province), but when dialling long-distance within the country, "0" is added to city codes. I.e., you dial "034...) within Ukraine, but "...380 34..." from other countries.

The best solution to avoid the mess would probably be just to put all numbers in the international format, clearly splitting the country code, city (or mobile operator) code, and the number itself. E.g. "(+380 342) 751 436" for Ivano-Frankivsk MRS, etc.

Re: Telephone number format

Hi,

Your corrections are greatly appreciated, since I have no experience with dialing these numbers. I added this chapter after receiving a brand new map, where there is a table with these numbers. Please check it right now and let me know if there are any mistakes.

Re: Telephone number format

Most of the numbers seem to be OK now, except for a couple of things.

Zarosliak: not "803 434 415 91" but (+380 3434) 415 91. By the way, "8" as a prefix to dial long-distance has changed to "0" something like 1 year ago, so it would be impossible to dial it as "803434..." _even within Ukraine.

"Duty officer of Ministry of Emergency - (+380 321) 660 701, 660 114 or (+380 442) 473 103" — those seem to be the numbers of two different offices. The last one seems to be for Kyiv. Although it would be possible to dial it the way you have put it, but Kyiv numbers have been 7-digit, nor 6-digit, since long ago, so it is not "(+380 442) 473 103" but "(+380 44) 247 3103". Actually, on their website they now have (at http://mns.gov.ua/content/contacts.html) 247-3211 as "Duty Shift Commander". The first two numbers are for Zakarpattia Oblast Department of the MRS, but the city code is wrong: it is not "321" but "312" i.e. they should be "(+380 312) 660 701, 660 114". The MRS currently lists those numbers for the regional Duty Shift Commander at their regional page (http://zk.mns.gov.ua/content/kontakt.html); the second number is listed as telephone/fax.

Also, since you use mostly Ukrainian (not Russian) spelling for names on your Chornohora page, "Verchovina" should become "Verkhovyna" I believe :).

Re: Dead link

Thanks. It seems the book can't be read online any longer. That's a pity.
