📍 Geographic Location of Turin
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
The Italian country calling code +39, prefix 011, is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Turin (Torino) and its surrounding metropolitan area. Administratively, this code falls under the jurisdiction of the Piedmont region (Piemonte) in northwestern Italy. The numbering area covered by 011 includes the city of Turin itself, as well as the municipalities within the Turin metropolitan area, such as Moncalieri, Rivoli, Collegno, Settimo Torinese, and Grugliasco. The prefix is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, including traditional analog lines, ISDN, and VoIP-based fixed telephony that is registered to a physical address within the geographic area.
Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions
For international callers, the full E.164 format is: +39 011 XXXXXXX, where the leading zero of the prefix is omitted when dialing from abroad. For example, to call a Turin landline with the local number 5551234, an international caller would dial +39 011 5551234. For domestic calls within Italy, the trunk prefix '0' is always retained, so callers dial 011 5551234. It is important to note that Italian fixed-line numbers are not portable to other geographic areas, but they can be ported to VoIP providers while retaining the same prefix, provided the service is linked to the original geographic location.
Overlay and Numbering Plan Considerations
Unlike some metropolitan areas in other countries, Turin does not currently have an overlay code. The 011 prefix is the sole geographic code for the area, and no additional NDCs have been introduced. The numbering capacity is managed by the Italian Communications Regulatory Authority (AGCOM). The number length for local numbers within the 011 area is typically 7 digits, but some legacy numbers may have 6 digits. When dialing locally, the full 10-digit number (including the 0) is always required, as Italy uses an open dialing plan with no local dialing shortcuts.
Practical Guidance for Callers
For businesses and individuals calling Turin from abroad, it is essential to replace the leading zero with the international access code and Italy's country code (+39). For example, a caller from the UK would dial 00 39 011 XXXXXXX, while a caller from the US would dial 011 39 011 XXXXXXX. For callers within Italy, simply dial the full 10-digit number. When receiving calls from Turin, the caller ID will display the number with the 011 prefix, allowing identification of the geographic origin. This prefix is also used for fax lines and alarm systems, so it is not exclusively for voice.
