Area Code 248 – Burdur

Geographic Overview and Administrative Jurisdiction

The +90 248 country-code/area-code combination is the geographic National Destination Code (NDC) for the province of Burdur, located in the southwestern part of Türkiye (Mediterranean Region). This code is assigned exclusively to fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services within the provincial boundaries. The administrative jurisdiction covers the central district of Burdur and all its affiliated towns and villages, including but not limited to Ağlasun, Altınyayla, Bucak, Çavdır, Çeltikçi, Gölhisar, Karamanlı, Kemer, Tefenni, and Yeşilova. The code is managed under the regulatory authority of the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) of Türkiye.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

When calling a Burdur fixed line from abroad, the international format is: +90 248 XXX XX XX (or +90248XXXXXXX in continuous dialing). From within Türkiye, callers must use the national trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code: 0 248 XXX XX XX. For local calls within the same area code, the 0 and the area code are typically omitted, and only the 7-digit subscriber number is dialed. However, due to the implementation of 10-digit dialing in many regions, it is recommended to always use the full national format (0 248 XXX XX XX) to avoid misdialing, especially when calling from mobile networks.

Numbering Structure and Overlay Considerations

Burdur numbers follow the standard Turkish fixed-line structure: the area code (3 digits) plus a 7-digit subscriber number, totaling 10 digits in the national format (0 248 XXX XX XX). No overlay codes have been introduced for Burdur; the 248 code is the sole geographic code for the province. The subscriber number range is allocated to various operators, including Türk Telekom and alternative fixed-line service providers, enabling number portability across operators and technologies.

Geographic vs. Non-Geographic Usage

While the 248 code is primarily geographic, some VoIP providers may offer numbers with this code to businesses that require a local presence in Burdur, even if the physical infrastructure is elsewhere. However, for regulatory and emergency services (e.g., 112), the location is determined by the registered address of the subscriber. Callers should note that tariffs for calling 248 numbers are typically based on domestic fixed-line rates, which are generally lower than mobile rates.
