Area Code 222 – Esksehir

Overview of Area Code +90 222

Area code 222 is the National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the province of Eskişehir in the Central Anatolia region of Türkiye. It is a geographic code, meaning that it is tied to a specific physical location and is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within that province. The code is part of the Turkish national numbering plan, which adheres to ITU-T Recommendation E.164.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The 222 area code covers the entire administrative province of Eskişehir, including its central district and all surrounding towns and villages. Key cities and districts served by this code include:

• Eskişehir (central) – the provincial capital and largest city, known for its universities and modern urban development.
• Odunpazarı – a historic district and popular tourist area.
• Tepebaşı – a major residential and commercial district.
• Çifteler, İnönü, Alpu, Beylikova, Mihalıççık, Sarıcakaya, Seyitgazi, Sivrihisar, and Günyüzü – smaller districts and rural communities within the province.

All fixed-line numbers within this region share the same area code, and there are no overlay codes currently in effect. This means that local calls within the province do not require the area code, but calls from outside the province (but still within Türkiye) must include the national trunk prefix 0 followed by 222.

Dialing Formats

To call a fixed-line number in Eskişehir, the dialing format depends on the caller's location:

• Local calls (within the same area code): Dial only the 7-digit subscriber number. For example, if the local number is 2 345 678, simply dial 2345678.
• National calls (from other provinces in Türkiye): Dial the trunk prefix 0, then the area code 222, followed by the 7-digit subscriber number. For instance, to reach the number 2 345 678 from Istanbul, dial 0 222 234 5678.
• International calls (from abroad): Dial the international access prefix (usually 00 or +), then the country code 90, followed by the area code 222 (without the leading zero) and the 7-digit subscriber number. For example, from the United States, you would dial 011 90 222 234 5678 or +90 222 234 5678.

It is important to note that when dialing internationally, the leading 0 of the trunk prefix is omitted; only the area code 222 is used after the country code.

Caller Instructions

For callers within Eskişehir, local calls are typically charged at local rates. For callers from other Turkish provinces, calls to 222 numbers are considered national long-distance and are billed accordingly. International callers should check with their service provider for applicable international rates. As with all geographic numbers, the 222 code is used exclusively for fixed-line services; mobile numbers in Türkiye use separate non-geographic codes starting with 5 (e.g., 530, 532, 541, etc.).
