Area Code 348 – Kilis

Geographic Overview

The +90 348 country calling code and area code combination is assigned to the province of Kilis, located in the southeastern Anatolia region of Türkiye. Kilis is a small but strategically important province bordering Syria, with its administrative center also named Kilis. The area code covers the entire province, including the central district of Kilis and the surrounding towns and villages such as Elbeyli, Musabeyli, and Polateli. As a geographic code, 348 is used exclusively for fixed-line telephone services within this region.

Dialing Formats

When calling a fixed-line number in Kilis from within Türkiye, subscribers must dial the national trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 348 and the 7-digit local subscriber number. For example, a local number might be formatted as:

• 0 348 XXX XX XX (domestic call)

For international callers, the format requires the country code for Türkiye (+90), followed by the area code without the leading zero, and the subscriber number:

• +90 348 XXX XX XX (international call)

It is important to note that the leading '0' is only used for domestic calls within Türkiye and must be omitted when dialing from abroad.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within Kilis, it is possible to dial the 7-digit subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the local exchange configuration. However, for calls from other provinces or mobile phones, the full national format (0 348 XXX XX XX) is required. Mobile callers within Türkiye must always include the area code when calling fixed lines in Kilis.

International callers should replace the '+' with their country's international access code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries) when dialing from a landline. For example, from the US, you would dial 011 90 348 XXX XX XX.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, there is no overlay code for Kilis; the 348 area code remains the sole geographic code for the province. The number length is fixed at 10 digits when including the area code (excluding the trunk prefix '0'), which is standard for Turkish fixed-line numbers. The subscriber number portion is 7 digits long.

Businesses and residents in Kilis should ensure that their contact numbers are always displayed in international format (+90 348 ...) on websites and global directories to facilitate seamless communication with international clients and partners.
