The Turkey country code is +90 — reaching the world's 17th-largest economy + 85 million Turks bridging Europe + Asia, plus ~85 million mobile subscriptions across Turkcell, Vodafone Turkey + Türk Telekom Mobile. Istanbul alone has two area codes (212 European side, 216 Asian side).
Turkey was assigned +90 by the ITU in 1949 — placing it in zone 9 alongside the Middle East + South Asia. Istanbul is famously the only city in the world with one foot in Europe + one in Asia — and two separate area codes to match.
Turkey has used the +90 country code since 1949, when the ITU placed it in zone 9 alongside Iran +98, Saudi Arabia +966, the UAE +971, India +91 + most of the Middle East + South Asia. The "0" suffix on a 2-digit code is unusual — Turkey is the only +90 country, with the closest neighbours being +91 India + +92 Pakistan in zone 9.
Turkey's telecom industry is regulated by BTK (Bilgi Teknolojileri ve İletişim Kurumu — Information Technologies and Communications Authority). Three major mobile carriers operate: Turkcell (~40M subs, the largest), Vodafone Turkey (~25M), Türk Telekom Mobile (~20M, the former state monopoly). All are GSM/LTE/5G — Turkey deployed 5G in 2024.
Turkish area codes are 3 digits including the leading 0. Major codes: <b>212</b> Istanbul European side. <b>216</b> Istanbul Asian side (these are the only two Turkish codes for one metro — split along the Bosphorus). <b>312</b> Ankara. <b>232</b> Izmir. <b>224</b> Bursa. <b>242</b> Antalya. <b>322</b> Adana. Turkish mobiles all start with <b>5</b> (05XX domestically; +90 5XX internationally).
Istanbul has two area codes for a single city — split by continent. Istanbul is the only major city in the world that straddles two continents — Europe (the historic Old City, Beyoğlu, Beşiktaş, Şişli) + Asia (Kadıköy, Üsküdar, Maltepe). To reflect this, BTK assigned 212 to the European side + 216 to the Asian side. A 212 number is "Avrupa Yakası"; a 216 is "Anadolu Yakası". The split happens at the Bosphorus + the Marmara Sea.
A Turkish phone number in international format is written as +90 [area code without 0] [7-digit local]. For example, +90 212 123 4567 for an Istanbul European-side landline, +90 216 123 4567 for Istanbul Asian side, +90 312 123 4567 for Ankara, or +90 5XX XXX XXXX for a Turkcell mobile.
Turkish mobile numbers all start with 5 (05XX domestically; +90 5XX internationally). The leading 0 across all Turkish numbers (0212, 0216, 0312, 05XX) is the national trunk prefix — dropped when dialing from abroad. Every Turkish number is exactly 10 digits domestically (11 with leading 0), 12 digits total internationally with +90.
From the Bosphorus in Istanbul to the Mediterranean beaches of Antalya, every Turkish number lives behind a +90. Pick the area code that matches your customer city — even Istanbul has two (212 European, 216 Asian).
Every country uses a different international exit code before the +90 Türkiye country code. From any mobile, the + symbol replaces the exit code automatically — so +90 212 123 4567 works worldwide. Always drop the leading 0 from Turkish numbers (0212 Istanbul EU → 212, 05XX mobile → 5XX) when dialing from abroad.

Istanbul has TWO area codes — 212 for European side (Beyoğlu, Beşiktaş, Şişli), 216 for Asian side (Kadıköy, Üsküdar). The full E.164 format is +90 [area without 0] [7-digit local] — always 12 digits with +90.
+90 reaches the bridge between Europe + Asia + the world's 17th-largest economy. e-Devlet, HEPSI bank, Trendyol + Getir all expect +90 verification.
Turkish banks (Garanti BBVA, İş Bankası, Akbank, Ziraat Bankası, Yapı Kredi, QNB Finansbank, Enpara) + e-Devlet (Turkish state digital ID portal) + HGS toll system + Türkiye İş Kurumu (İŞKUR) require +90 mobile OTPs.
Turkey straddles two continents — a +90 line is treated as both "EU-adjacent" + "MENA-anchored". Istanbul is the natural Eurasian business hub for any region-wide play.
A 212 area code says "European Istanbul — Beyoğlu, Beşiktaş, Şişli, Sarıyer, Eyüp". A 216 says "Asian Istanbul — Kadıköy, Üsküdar, Maltepe". A 312 says "Ankara — capital + government". A 232 says "Izmir — Aegean trade".
Turkey gets ~60M annual international visitors (the world's 4th-most-visited country). A +90 line — especially 242 Antalya, 252 Muğla (Bodrum/Marmaris), 256 Aydın (Kuşadası), 286 Çanakkale (Troy/Gallipoli) — is essential for tourism + Turkish property businesses.
Turkey runs on Turkey Time (TRT, UTC+3) — same clock as Moscow, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain. Turkey abolished DST in 2016 — TRT stays fixed year-round. The 3-hour offset puts Türkiye 1 hour ahead of most of EU (which is mainly UTC+1/+2).
Turkey is one of the world's heaviest WhatsApp markets (~85% smartphone penetration in metros). Turkish unicorns (Trendyol, Hepsiburada, Getir, Dream Games, Insider, Peak Games) verify with +90 mobile + treat +90 callers as native.
Pick your area code — 212 European Istanbul, 216 Asian Istanbul, 312 Ankara, 232 Izmir, 242 Antalya — and start calling, texting + receiving Garanti + e-Devlet + Trendyol OTPs from real Turkish customers.
