📍 Geographic Location of Tokat

Geographic Overview

The area code 356 is the National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the province of Tokat, located in the Central Black Sea region of Türkiye. This geographic code covers the administrative districts of Tokat, including the central municipality, as well as towns such as Erbaa, Niksar, Turhal, Zile, and Pazar. The code is used for all fixed-line (PSTN) services within the province, including traditional copper lines and VoIP-based fixed telephony that are registered to a physical address in Tokat.

Dialing Formats

When calling a Tokat landline from within Türkiye, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 356 and the 7-digit local subscriber number. The national format is: 0 356 XXX XX XX.

For international callers, the Turkish country code +90 is used in place of the trunk prefix. The international dialing format is: +90 356 XXX XX XX. Note that the leading 0 is omitted when dialing from abroad.

Local vs. International Calls

Within Tokat, if you are calling another fixed-line number in the same area code, you may dial only the 7-digit subscriber number. However, for calls from mobile phones or from other provinces, the full national format (0 356 XXX XX XX) is required. Foreign callers should always use the +90 country code and drop the initial 0.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan, Tokat does not have an overlay code; 356 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). Mobile numbers in Türkiye always begin with 5 and are not affected by this geographic code.

Caller Instructions

For local callers: If you are within Tokat and calling a fixed line, you can often dial just the 7-digit number. For all other calls, use the national format. For international callers: Always dial +90 356 followed by the local 7-digit number. Ensure you have international dialing access from your carrier.
