    DIALING STEPS

    Step-by-Step Dialing Instructions

    Follow these simple steps to connect your call to Turkey from Iran.

    • Dial the Country Code

      Start by dialing +90, which is Turkey's international country code. If using a phone without + support, dial 0090 or 90 (depending on your carrier).

      +90 (or 0090)
    • Enter the Area Code

      Turkey uses two-digit area codes for landlines. For example, Istanbul uses 212 or 216, Ankara uses 312, and İzmir uses 232. Mobile numbers do not require a separate area code.

      For Istanbul landline: +90 212
    • Dial the Local Number

      Complete the call by entering the local phone number. Landlines are typically 7 digits; mobile numbers are 10 digits (including the mobile carrier prefix starting with 5).

    DIALING RULES

    Important Dialing Rules for Turkey

    Turkey has standardized numbering that works consistently for landlines and mobiles. Review these rules to ensure successful calls.

    Always Include the Country Code

    International calls to Turkey must begin with +90. You cannot omit the country code when calling from Iran.

    Landline Area Codes Are Two Digits

    Turkish landlines always require a two-digit area code after the country code. The full number is 10 digits including the area code.

    Mobile Numbers Include Carrier Prefix

    Turkish mobile numbers are identified by a five-digit carrier prefix (typically starting with 5). The full mobile number is 10 digits, with no separate area code.

    Do Not Use a 0 Prefix for International Calls

    When calling internationally from Iran, do not include a leading 0 before the area code. The 0 is only used for domestic calls within Turkey.

    TIMING TIPS

    Best Times to Call Turkey from Iran

    Plan your calls during overlapping business hours or convenient times for your contact. Turkey and Iran have a small time difference.

    🇹🇷

    Turkey is typically 2.5 hours ahead of Iran, but this can vary depending on daylight saving time observance. Always confirm the local time before calling.

    Calling tips

    • Check for Turkish public holidays; many businesses may be closed or operate on reduced hours.
    • Ramadan observance may affect business hours and call availability.
    • Mobile networks in Turkey are reliable; calls connect quickly from Iran.
    • If you hear a busy signal or poor connection, try again in a few minutes—network congestion is usually temporary.

    Business etiquette

    • Introduce yourself and your organization at the start of the call.
    • Speak clearly and at a measured pace to account for any connection delay.
    • If calling a business, try to reach the relevant department or extension during morning or early afternoon hours.
    • Turkish business culture values direct communication; be clear about the purpose of your call.

    TROUBLESHOOTING

    Common Issues and How to Fix Them

    If your call doesn't connect, review these common causes and solutions.

    Call Won't Connect

    Verify you've entered +90 (Turkey's country code) at the start. Check the area code and local number format. If using Sayfone, ensure your browser allows microphone access and you have a stable internet connection.

    Poor Call Quality or Delay

    International calls may have slight delays due to network routing. This is normal. If quality is persistently poor, try calling during off-peak hours (late evening Iran time) when networks are less congested.

    Busy Signal or No Ring

    The recipient's line may be in use or the number may be incorrect. Verify the phone number, wait a moment, and try again. Some special numbers (toll-free or premium services) may not connect from Iran; try a standard landline or mobile instead.

    Browser Dialer Not Working

    Sayfone's browser-based calling requires a modern browser and microphone access. Check your browser permissions, allow microphone access, and refresh the page. If the problem persists, try a different browser.
