Telephone numbers in Turkey went from six (2+4) to seven digits (3+4) circa 1988. There used to be more than 5,000 local area codes of varying lengths (one to five digits) with correspondingly varying local number lengths.
The new system imposes three-digit area codes for provinces and seven digit local phone numbers. Istanbul is the only exception, having two different area codes (212 for the European side, and 216 for the Asian side).
The prefixes for the three major Turkish operators are as follows: Turkcell (530-539, 561 61X XXXX, 516 16X XXXX), Vodafone (540-549), and Türk Telekom (500-509 and 550-559).[1][2]
On 30 August 1993, local numbers in most areas were changed in conjunction with a new numbering plan.
