Local know-how

What to know before you land in Türkiye

Coverage and networks

Türkiye's three networks are Turkcell, Vodafone Türkiye and Türk Telekom. Turkcell has the widest overall footprint, and all three cover Istanbul, the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts and Cappadocia solidly. The exact network for your plan is shown on the plan card before checkout.

Landing and activation

Important: local regulation blocks completing an eSIM installation from inside Türkiye. Buy AND install the profile before departure; then simply toggle it on after landing at Istanbul, Sabiha Gökçen or Antalya and it activates within minutes.

Which plan fits your trip

A week between Istanbul and the coast is comfortable on 5 GB; road trips through Cappadocia and the southeast, or heavy social uploading, deserve 10 GB or more. Combining Türkiye with Greece or the Balkans? Check the regional bundles that include all stops.

Install in three steps

Set up your Türkiye eSIM in under a minute

  1. 1

    Buy the plan and get your QR code

    Pay once with card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto. The activation QR arrives in your dashboard and email within seconds.

  2. 2

    Scan the QR from your phone settings

    On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Use QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network → SIMs → + → Use QR code. Or open the GetSim app and tap install, no QR scanning needed.

  3. 3

    Land, switch it on

    Set the GetSim eSIM as your default for cellular data. Your home SIM keeps handling calls and 2FA SMS in the background.

Your real number stays online. The eSIM only handles data. Calls, SMS, banking 2FA all keep arriving on your home SIM.
Crossing borders?

Going to more than just Türkiye?

A regional bundle covers Türkiye and 195+ other countries on a single eSIM, often cheaper than buying separate single-country plans for a multi-stop trip.

Frequently asked about Türkiye eSIMs

Yes. The GetSim eSIM installs as a second profile on your phone. Your home SIM and number stay active for calls and SMS. Set the GetSim eSIM as the default for cellular data only.

Plans run on tier-1 mobile networks in Türkiye. The exact carrier depends on the plan; you'll see the network name on each plan card before you pay.

Typical activation is 1–3 minutes after switching the eSIM on. Many travelers install the eSIM at home over Wi-Fi and toggle it on the moment the plane lands.

GetSim eSIMs are data-only. For voice and SMS, use apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Signal or Telegram. They all work seamlessly over the eSIM data. If you need a real phone number for verifications, pair the eSIM with a GetSim virtual number from the same wallet.

Top up the eSIM directly from your dashboard or the GetSim app, no need to install a new profile. Top-ups are billed per-GB at the same rate as the original plan.
