We recommend this if you strongly will need to make and receive calls and have internet
access during your trip to Istanbul,and will stay at least 1 week, 10 days or more. The good
thing is that SIM cards in Turkey 2022 are generally not too expensive depending on how much data you
will use and how long you will stay. And they offer good coverage.

All About GSM companies
The bad thing is that you’ll need to spend time and big effort to choose the best deal, high
charges if you exceed data, and possible troubles with the GSM companies. We also
recommend you to make sure if your phone is unlocked and will work with Sim cards in Turkey 2022 from
any carriers, before your trip. You can check this with your GSM provider. Also note that
all foreign phones will stop working after 120 days that they are first used in Turkey.
You can continue using only after you pay a registration fee.Finally we can say that there
are two good options for travelers when buying a Turkey SIM card in Istanbul: Pay-as-you-
go or Prepaid Turkish SIM cards. We’ll guide you on these two options below, but first lets
talk about the Turkish GSM operators. There are only three GSM providers in Turkey that can
set you up with a SIM card in Turkey 2022 and data plan. And these include Vodafone, Turkcell and Turk
Telekom. All the operators mostly have a good coverage and speed for Istanbul. They all
offer a variety of plans, but kind of a little bit more expensive than the similar to those found
elsewhere in Europe. Vodafone and Turkcell competes, while Turk Telekom is a smaller
company by means of number of customers and infrastructure. And, according to Turkish
law, all SIM cards in Turkey have to be registered, and can only be purchased with a valid passport.
They all offer plans with different amounts of data use.
Pay-as-you-go plans refer to prepaid plans with consumable minutes instead of a non-
contract service plan. You purchase minutes and top up as necessary. You need to top
up your plan in certain amount of time, which is 180 days for Turkey.
Prepaid plans charge you a set amount of money monthly for a specific amount of talk, SMS
and data/internet. They do not require a contract (you will need to make a contact in Turkey,
just by your valid passport) and you only pay for what you get in advance. If you finish your
quota, the phone becomes disconnected from service.
