How to call Turkey

Drop the 0. In Istanbul, check the side.

Turks write every number with a leading 0, as in 0532 or 0212; after +90 it goes. Mobiles start 05. Landlines start with a three-digit province code, and Istanbul has two of them, one for each continent. Find any city's code below.

Istanbul sits on two continents and has two area codes. The European side, with Beyoğlu, Fatih and Beşiktaş, is 212. The Asian side, with Kadıköy and Üsküdar, is 216. The Bosphorus strait runs between them. From abroad dial +90, then 212 or 216 and seven digits.BosphorusEUROPEASIA212European side216Asian sideBeyoğlu, Fatih, BeşiktaşKadıköy, ÜsküdarSame city, two codes.Dial the one written on the number, not the one you expect.

What time is it in Turkey

Turkey stopped changing its clocks. Europe did not.

Since 2016 Turkey has stayed on UTC+3 all year. Germany, the Netherlands, France and the UK still move their clocks, so twice a year the gap to Istanbul changes by an hour, and the usual evening call slides with it.

Since September 2016 Turkey stays on UTC+3 all year. Germany and the rest of central Europe move between UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer, so Turkey is 2 hours ahead of Berlin in winter and 1 hour ahead in summer. London moves between UTC+0 and UTC+1, 3 and 2 hours behind Istanbul.Offset from UTC, across a yearJFMAMJJASONDIstanbulUTC+3BerlinUTC+1UTC+2UTC+1LondonUTC+0UTC+1UTC+0Turkey stopped in 2016.

Turkish numbers from abroad

Six kinds of Turkish number. Four always connect.

Mobiles, landlines, Northern Cyprus and 0850 company lines all ring from abroad at the same rate. 444 call-centre numbers are hit and miss, and 0800 numbers are for callers inside Turkey. When a company lists both, use the landline.

Is LinkedSIP right for calls to Turkey?

Built for Turkish families abroad and firms that buy from Turkey.

For ringing Turkish phones, from a Kadıköy landline to a mobile in Rize.

  • FAM
    Turkish families in Europe and beyondLong calls to parents and grandparents on their own phone, from Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, France or the US.
  • B2B
    Buyers with Turkish suppliersMills in Bursa, factories in Izmir and agents in Istanbul, dialled from a SIP app or the company switchboard.

Not the right choice if

  • The number starts 0800. Turkish 0800 lines take callers inside Turkey only, whoever carries the call.
  • You must reach a 444 call centre. Some 444 numbers connect from abroad and some do not, whoever carries the call. Use the company's 0212 or 0850 line if it lists one.
  • What LinkedSIP does and does not do
FAQ

Calling Turkey: your questions

Reviewed 29 October 2026.

What is the country code for Turkey?

Turkey's country code is +90. Drop the leading 0 that follows it: 0532 123 45 67 becomes +90 532 123 45 67, and the Istanbul number 0212 234 56 78 becomes +90 212 234 56 78.

How do I call Turkey from the UK, Germany or the Netherlands?

The prefix is 00 90, and the 0 at the start of the Turkish number goes: 00 90 532 123 45 67 rings a mobile, 00 90 312 and seven digits an Ankara landline. Phones and SIP apps accept +90 in place of 00 90.

How do I call Turkey from the USA, Canada or Australia?

Americans and Canadians start with 011 90, Australians with 0011 90, and the Turkish number follows minus its 0: 011 90 212 234 56 78 for Istanbul's European side. A phone or SIP app takes +90 from any country.

How do I call a Turkish mobile?

Turkish mobiles are written with 11 digits starting 05, such as 0532 or 0555. After +90, skip the 0 and dial the remaining ten. Numbers move between networks with their owners, so 0532 is no proof of which network it is on now.

Why does Istanbul have two area codes?

Istanbul is split by the Bosphorus. The European side, including Beyoğlu and Beşiktaş, is 212; the Asian side, including Kadıköy and Üsküdar, is 216. Dial the code written with the number: a wrong side is a different number.

What are the area codes for Ankara, Izmir and Antalya?

Ankara is 312, Izmir 232, Antalya 242 and Bursa 224. Every province has a three-digit code; the finder above has all 81. After +90, the code goes without its 0.

How do I call Northern Cyprus?

Through Turkey's code: dial +90 392 and the seven-digit number. Northern Cyprus numbers are part of the Turkish numbering plan and cost the same as a call to Turkey with us.

What time is it in Turkey?

Turkey has stayed on UTC+3 all year since 2016, with no clock changes. It is 2 hours ahead of Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris in winter and 1 hour in summer, and 3 or 2 hours ahead of London.

How much does it cost to call Turkey?

$0.0650 a minute to any phone in Turkey or Northern Cyprus, counted by the second, nothing to connect. Half an hour with Anneanne is $1.95, and $20 buys 307 minutes.

Can I call a Turkish 444 or 0800 number from abroad?

A 444 number is a company call centre dialled without an area code; some connect from abroad and some do not. 0800 numbers are free for callers in Turkey and usually do not work from abroad. If a company also lists a 0212 or 0850 number, use that.

Do I need a Turkey calling card?

No. Dial 00 90 from Germany or the UK, 011 90 from the USA or +90 from a SIP app, followed by the number without its 0. Nothing else is dialled first. Istanbul, Rize and Girne all cost the same $0.0650 a minute, counted by the second.

Every Turkish phone, one rate. 307 minutes for $20.

Create an account, pay $20 in crypto, and Turkey is +90 away: 532 123 45 67 for a mobile, 212 or 216 first for Istanbul. How sign-up and top-ups work.
