International telephone access code of Turkey is 90.Then area codes. For Istanbul it is 212 (European side) and 216 (Asian side), Ankara 312 and Izmir 232. All telephone numbers are have seven digits in Turkey. If you are going to call Asian side of Istanbul from the European side, first dial the code, 0 216. From Asian side to European side first dial 0 212 and then the number. To call Turkey from a another countryfirst dial + 90 then (three digit area code), then seven digit number.
To make an international call from Turkey, first dial double zero then int. telephone code of your country, then your number. To call America will be like, 00 1 -your number-.
The best deal to call your country is by PTT (National Post, Telegram and Telephone Office) phone cards. They will come in 30, 60 or 100 credits. 100 credits will be fine for international calls. You can buy them from your hotel ( 15-30% more than the normal price), or from the post office.
