Coverage and networks

Your eSIM connects to a partner network in Türkiye. The networks for each plan are confirmed at checkout.

Türkiye is outside the EU, so roam-like-at-home rules do not apply and roaming on a European SIM can be expensive. Visitors also lean on their phones here more than they expect: taxi apps in Istanbul, maps through the lanes of the old city and transfers to the coastal resorts.

Coverage is strong in cities and along the coasts. In the valleys of Cappadocia, in the eastern mountains and on boat trips along the Turquoise Coast the signal can fade, so download maps before you head out.

Check your phone first

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. If it was bought from a mobile network on contract, ask them to unlock it before you travel.

  • Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number, your phone supports eSIM.
  • Most iPhones from XR and XS onwards, Google Pixel 3 onwards and Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards support eSIM.

We check it against the list of eSIM phones. Nothing is saved.

Türkiye eSIM questions

Do I need to register my phone in Türkiye?

Phone registration applies to phones used with a Turkish SIM card. A travel eSIM connects as a visiting line on a partner network, so it is normally not needed for a holiday. If you are staying for months, check the plan details before you pay.

Does it work on both sides of the Bosphorus?

Yes. Istanbul’s European and Asian sides are served by the same Turkish networks, and so are the ferries across the strait, although the signal can weaken mid-crossing.

Is Türkiye included in a Europe regional plan?

Some Europe regional plans list Türkiye and some do not. Check the coverage list on the Europe regional plan before you pay, or buy a Türkiye plan on its own.

Can I buy the plan now and travel next month?

Yes. The plan starts when the eSIM first connects in Türkiye. Install it within 180 days of buying.
