2 March 2026
Yes, over 3.3 thousand phone numbers simultaneously serve at least 5 sole proprietors, according to the Unified State Register. At the same time, 8.9 thousand “mass” numbers are registered among companies. The largest number of such numbers is in Kyiv and Kyiv region, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv. Over 3 thousand mass numbers simultaneously serve at least 5 companies and 5 sole proprietors.
If at least 5 sole proprietors use the same phone number during registration, it can be considered a “mass” number. There are thousands of such contacts in Ukraine. Now, you can check whether a number is mass-used or find a company or sole proprietor by phone number for free on Opendatabot.
