Good to know before you call Cyprus

Sound like a local

“Εμπρός;”

Emprós?

It literally means forward or go ahead. It is the standard way to answer the phone in Greek, Cyprus's main language

“Ναι;”

Nai?

Cyprus closed its numbering plan on 1 December 2001, so every number, local or international, is dialed as the same 8 digits.
Wikipedia: Telephone numbers in Cyprus
A call to Northern Cyprus from the Republic skips +90: dial 0139 plus the 7-digit local number, and it costs a local-rate call.

OCECPR prices Cyprus text-message short codes by band: 1000 to 1999 is Basic Overpriced, and 9000 to 9999 is billed as Adult Services.

A Cyprus number starting 900 is an overpriced recreational line, not a mobile. Mobile numbers start one digit later, at 91 to 99.

Questions about +357

Which country is +357?

+357, or country code 357, belongs to Cyprus, an island nation in the eastern Mediterranean.

What is +357?

+357 is the part you dial before a Cyprus number when you call from outside the country. Cyprus numbers have no separate area code to drop, so you add +357 in front of the same 8 digits.

What is the difference between +357 and 00357?

The + stands for your own exit code. 00 is the exit code in Cyprus, the rest of Europe, and most of the world, so +357 and 00357 reach the same number there. Cyprus has no area code to drop, so both forms dial straight into the same 8 digits, unlike a country with a trunk 0. From the US and Canada, dial 011 357 instead.

Does a Cyprus number have a trunk prefix?

No. Cyprus closed its numbering plan in 2001, so every number is the same 8 digits, whether you dial it inside Cyprus or add +357 from abroad.

Can I text a +357 number?

Yes. Write the number as +357 followed by the 8 digits, and your phone sends the text abroad at your carrier's international rate.

How much does it cost to call Cyprus?

A call to a Cyprus mobile number typically costs more than a call to a landline. The dialer on this page shows the exact price of the number you enter before you call.

Is the CY country code the same as +357?

No. CY is Cyprus's ISO code for forms and addresses. The number you dial is +357.
