In the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), phone communication uses codes similar to those in Turkey, but TRNC has its own GSM operators and unique mobile prefixes. The most commonly used prefixes in TRNC are 0533, 0539, 0542, and 0548. Here’s a detailed breakdown of which operator each code belongs to and how to use them:


TRNC Phone Codes and Operators

  • 0533 → KKTCELL (Turkcell TRNC)
  • 0539 → KKTCELL (Turkcell TRNC)
  • 0542 → Telsim Vodafone TRNC
  • 0548 → Telsim Vodafone TRNC

These prefixes are used for mobile communication across Northern Cyprus. After these codes, the standard 7-digit number follows.


How to Call TRNC from Abroad

To call Northern Cyprus from Turkey or any other country, you use the +90 country code, the same as Turkey. However, the mobile prefix determines whether the number is in TRNC. For example:

  • For KKTCELL numbers:
     +90 533 xxx xx xx or +90 539 xxx xx xx
  • For Vodafone TRNC numbers:
     +90 542 xxx xx xx or +90 548 xxx xx xx

SIM Card Usage in TRNC (For Tourists)

For travelers visiting Northern Cyprus, using a local SIM card is often the most affordable option for internet and calling. Short-term visitors can easily purchase prepaid SIM cards or tourist packages from local GSM operators.

Tip: You’ll need an ID or passport to register a SIM card. Additionally, IMEI registration may be required for devices brought from outside TRNC—check the latest regulations before your trip.
