📍 Geographic Location of Stirt
Geographic Overview
The +90 484 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the province of Şırnak in southeastern Türkiye. This region, bordering Syria and Iraq, includes the administrative capital Şırnak city as well as districts such as Cizre, Silopi, İdil, and Uludere. The code is administered under the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) and follows the national numbering plan aligned with ITU-T E.164.
Dialing Formats
For domestic callers within Türkiye, the full national significant number (NSN) is 10 digits, comprising the area code (484) followed by a 7-digit subscriber number. Local calls within the same area code can be dialed using only the 7-digit subscriber number, omitting the trunk prefix and area code. However, to avoid confusion and ensure proper routing, it is recommended to always use the full national format: 0 484 XXX XX XX. For international callers, the format is +90 484 XXX XX XX, where the leading '0' is dropped and the country code +90 is used.
Coverage and Administration
The 484 code covers a predominantly rural and mountainous region with a mix of urban centers and smaller settlements. The province is known for its strategic border location and economic activities related to agriculture, livestock, and cross-border trade. Telecommunication services are provided by major Turkish operators including Türk Telekom (fixed-line), Turkcell, Vodafone, and Türk Telekom Mobile (mobile), with fixed-line infrastructure primarily based on PSTN and fiber-optic networks.
Caller Instructions
When calling a fixed line in Şırnak from abroad, dial the international access prefix of your country (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), followed by 90, then 484, and the 7-digit local number. For example, to reach a number in Cizre, you would dial +90 484 123 45 67. If you are within Türkiye but outside the 484 area, dial 0 484 123 45 67. For local calls within the same area, simply dial 123 45 67.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest BTK updates, there is no overlay code for Şırnak; the 484 code remains the sole geographic code for the province. Subscriber numbers are allocated in blocks to different operators, and number portability allows users to retain their numbers when switching providers, although the geographic code remains tied to the original location. This ensures that the 484 prefix continues to identify the Şırnak region regardless of the service provider.
