Overview of Area Code 346 (Sivas, Türkiye)
Area code 346 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the province of Sivas, located in the Central Anatolia region of Türkiye. This code is part of the Turkish national numbering plan, administered by the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) under the framework of ITU-T E.164. The 346 code covers the administrative boundaries of Sivas Province, including its central district and all connected towns and villages. The primary city served is Sivas, with other significant localities including Divriği, Şarkışla, Gemerek, and Zara.
When dialing a fixed-line number in Sivas from within Türkiye, subscribers use the format 0 346 XXX XX XX, where the leading 0 is the trunk prefix, 346 is the area code, and the subscriber number is seven digits long. From abroad, callers must use the international format: +90 346 XXX XX XX, omitting the trunk prefix. For example, a local Sivas number such as 346 555 12 34 would be dialed as 0 346 555 12 34 domestically and +90 346 555 12 34 internationally.
It is important to note that Sivas does not currently have an overlay area code; the 346 code is exclusive to the province. However, as with all geographic codes in Türkiye, the area code is required for all calls, including local calls, because the Turkish numbering plan uses a closed dialing system. This means that even if you are calling a number in the same area, you must dial the full national number (including the area code).
For businesses and residents, the 346 code is tied to the physical location of the fixed-line connection. If a number is ported to a VoIP service or a different operator, the geographic significance may be retained for billing and emergency services purposes, but the actual location may vary. Callers should be aware that calls to 346 numbers are typically charged at domestic fixed-line rates, which are often lower than mobile rates.
For international callers, it is essential to check with your service provider for any restrictions or special rates when calling Turkish landlines. Incoming calls to Sivas from abroad are received as standard international calls and are subject to the rates of the calling country.
