Turkey offers three very different virtual number types: Istanbul and Ankara geographic DIDs, nationwide 0850 numbers, and 0800 toll-free. Here is what each costs, what documentation Turkish regulation requires, and how to route them.
Turkey is one of the more valuable countries to have an inbound number in. Local callers strongly prefer dialling a Turkish number, answer rates on 0850 and 0800 ranges are high, and the inventory is genuinely limited compared to Western Europe.
This guide covers the three Turkish number types we sell, what each one is good for, and how ordering works. Short version on paperwork: we do not ask for documents, addresses or company registration.
| Type | Prefix | Best for | Monthly | Activation | Channels |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Geographic | +90 212, 216, 312, 232, 242 | Local presence in a specific city | $360 | $30 | 10 |
| National | +90 850 | Nationwide business line, no city tie | $320 | $30 | 20 |
| Toll-free | +90 800, 808 | Inbound support where the caller pays nothing | $420 | $45 | 30 |
Geographic prefixes cover Istanbul on both the European (212) and Asian (216) sides, plus Ankara (312), Izmir (232) and Antalya (242). You choose the exact prefix at checkout rather than accepting whatever is in stock.
The 0850 range is Turkey's nationwide business number format. Callers pay a standard local rate wherever they dial from, and the number carries no city association. For a company selling across Turkey rather than in one district, it is both cheaper than a geographic DID and less confusing for the caller.
It also comes with double the inbound channels of a geographic number, which matters if you run campaigns and get bursts of return calls.
Turkish 0800 numbers are free for the caller. That makes them excellent for warranty lines, account support and anything where you want zero friction on the inbound leg, and expensive for anything that attracts nuisance traffic, because you carry the cost of every call.
If you are placing a number on a public landing page with no filtering in front of it, 0850 is usually the smarter economic choice.
Nothing beyond an email address and a funded balance. No identity documents, no service address, no company registration, no uploads after checkout. You order the range you want in the portal and we provision it.
Turkish numbers activate on the same 4 to 12 hour path as the rest of the catalogue in most cases. Toll-free ranges can occasionally take longer depending on inventory. If activation fails, the full charge returns to your balance automatically.
Turkish DIDs behave like any other number on the network once live:
Per-DID CDRs appear in the portal immediately, so you can confirm the first test call landed before you publish the number anywhere.
A Turkish DID is most useful when the people you call can call you back. If you also run outbound traffic into Turkey, set your outbound caller ID to the DID you just bought. Return calls hit the same number, land on the same trunk, and show up in the same CDR view.
Outbound caller ID is set in the SIP From header from your own PBX — the caller ID guide walks through it for FreePBX, 3CX and softphones.
Turkish inventory is on the DID numbers page and orderable directly from the portal, with the prefix selector, channel count, options and full cost breakdown shown before you pay. If you need a range we do not list, or want to port an existing Turkish number, open a ticket with the number and current provider and we will quote the port.
