📍 Geographic Location of Samsun
Geographic Overview
The +90 362 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the province of Samsun, located on the northern coast of Türkiye along the Black Sea. Samsun is one of the country's largest metropolitan areas and a key commercial port city. The code covers the central districts of Samsun (Atakum, Canik, İlkadım, Tekkeköy) as well as surrounding districts such as Bafra, Çarşamba, Havza, Kavak, Ladik, Ondokuzmayıs, Salıpazarı, Terme, Vezirköprü, and Yakakent. It does not include the neighboring provinces of Ordu (452), Amasya (358), or Sinop (368), which have their own distinct codes.
Dialing Formats
When calling a Samsun landline from abroad, dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries, or + from mobile), followed by the Turkish country code 90, then the area code 362 (dropping the leading 0 used domestically), and finally the 7-digit subscriber number. For example, a local number 234 56 78 would be dialed as +90 362 234 56 78 from outside Türkiye.
Within Türkiye, callers must use the national trunk prefix 0 before the area code, making the full domestic dialing sequence 0 362 234 56 78. For local calls within the same area code, the subscriber number alone (7 digits) is sufficient, though some operators may require the area code for mobile or intercity calls. No overlay codes are currently in effect for Samsun; the 362 code remains the sole geographic code for the province.
Caller Instructions
For international callers: Ensure you have the correct country code (+90) and drop the initial '0' from the area code. Check with your service provider for any international dialing restrictions or additional charges, especially when calling from VoIP or mobile networks.
For domestic callers: When calling from a mobile phone, you may need to include the '0' prefix even if you are within the same province, as mobile networks route based on the full national number. For landline-to-landline calls within Samsun, local dialing without the area code is often possible, but using the full national format is always safe.
As with all Turkish geographic numbers, calls to 362 are tariffed as local or national depending on the caller's location and operator. For businesses, having a Samsun number establishes a local presence and can be critical for customer trust in the region.
