Having received "90 5" for Turkish Cyprus in message to telecom digest from Clive Feather <clive@x.co.uk>, I now have this for Turkey's city codes. Notice 51 for Izmir (also called Smyrna?), which isn't all that close to Cyprus. 90 Turkey 1 or 11 Istanbul 41 Ankara 5 Turkish Cyprus 51 Izmir or Ismir 711 Adana

Several people have stated that 90 is the country code for Turkey, and
5 is simply the area code for Turkish Cyprus. This is not the case.
The BT booklet I built the list from gave two country codes for
Cyprus: 357 and 905. In each case, there was a list of area codes.
Clearly, 905 is a subset of 90, but the phone user will find the
information under "Cyprus", not under "Turkey". In other words, we're
all in agreement.
BTW, can anyone confirm the St. Helena code 290, or supply any of the
codes I'm missing ?

In other words, we're >all in agreement. My phone book lists just plain Cyprus as 357 (that's the Greek half, although the book doesn't say so). It doesn't list the Turkish half at all, either under Cyprus or Turkey. Presumably this will change in next year's book as our government tries to cozy up to Turkey in view of the serious situation in the Arabian Gulf (formerly the Persian Gulf). By the way, if you want to give me a call to discuss this, the country code for the People's Republic of Ann Arbor, Michigan is 1313. [Moderator's Smirk: I'll let that last paragraph go through this time; but watch how you talk about our friends at umich.edu! :) PAT]

They went from six (2+4) to seven digits (3+4) local phone numbers a couple of years ago at which time Ankara went from 41 to 4.
