How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Cyprus

Cyprus uses country code +357 and an 8-digit closed numbering plan. From abroad, dial your exit code → 357 → the 8 digits. Inside Cyprus, you also dial the 8 digits directly; international calls placed from Cyprus use the 00 prefix. There is no domestic trunk “0”—it was abolished when the current plan was introduced. Example landline (Nicosia): +357 22 xxxxxx.

Mobiles vs landlines: Landlines begin with 2x followed by the district code (see list). Mobile numbers start with 9x and have 8 digits total. From abroad, format mobiles as +357 9x xxxxxx; domestically, dial the same eight digits. Number portability is available, so a prefix reflects original allocation only—always dial exactly as written.

Notes:

The UK Sovereign Base Areas (Akrotiri & Dhekelia) use the same +357 plan.

Northern Cyprus is on Turkey’s plan (+90 392 for landlines; mobiles +90 533/542/548). Calls between the two sides have special short codes (0139 / 0123). These are separate from the Republic of Cyprus system above.

What are the city and area codes in Cyprus

Dialing tip: If a local landline is shown as 22 xxxxxx or 25 xxxxxx, just add +357 in front for international format—there’s no “0” to add or drop.

City	Area Code	International Dialing Format
Nicosia (Lefkosia)	22	+357 22 XXX XXX
Famagusta (Ammochostos)	23	+357 23 XXX XXX
Larnaca	24	+357 24 XXX XXX
Limassol (Lemesos)	25	+357 25 XXX XXX
Pafos	26	+357 26 XXX XXX

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Cyprus

Dialing tip: From the U.S./Canada dial 011 357 + 9x xxxxxx; from most of Europe use 00 357 + number. If someone shares (0)99 xxxxxx, ignore the (0)—Cyprus no longer uses a trunk prefix.
