Area Code 322 – Adana

Overview of Area Code +90 322

Area code 322 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the province of Adana in southern Türkiye. It is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services within the province, including the city of Adana and its surrounding districts. The code is part of the Turkish national numbering plan, which adheres to ITU-T E.164 recommendations. When dialing internationally, the full number format is +90 322 XXX XX XX, where +90 is the country code for Türkiye, 322 is the area code, and the remaining seven digits represent the subscriber number.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

Area code 322 covers the entire province of Adana, which is a major agricultural and industrial hub in the Çukurova region. Key districts served include Seyhan, Çukurova, Yüreğir, Sarıçam, and Pozantı. The code is administered by the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) of Türkiye. Subscriber numbers are allocated to local fixed-line operators, including Türk Telekom and alternative carriers, but the geographic nature of the code means that the number is tied to a physical location.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

For callers within Türkiye, the national dialing format requires the leading trunk prefix 0 before the area code. Thus, a local call from another province would be dialed as 0 322 XXX XX XX. However, within the same area code, local calls may be made using only the seven-digit subscriber number, depending on the operator's local dialing rules. For international callers, the format is +90 322 XXX XX XX (or 0090 322 XXX XX XX from countries using the international prefix 00). It is important to note that the trunk prefix 0 is not included when dialing from abroad.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest BTK updates, there is no overlay code for Adana; the area code 322 remains the sole geographic code for the province. However, number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching operators, but the geographic significance remains. Callers should be aware that while mobile numbers in Türkiye begin with codes like 530, 532, etc., and are non-geographic, the 322 code is exclusively for fixed lines. For VoIP services, some providers may offer numbers with geographic codes, but the routing is still based on the NDC.

Practical Examples

• International call to Adana: +90 322 456 78 90
• National call (outside Adana): 0 322 456 78 90
• Local call (within Adana): 456 78 90 (if permitted)

Understanding these formats ensures seamless connectivity for both domestic and international callers.
