Good to know in Türkiye
Facts from official sources and the press, each with the date we last checked it.
Some eSIM websites are blocked in Türkiye
Since July 2025, Türkiye’s telecoms regulator BTK has blocked access from Turkish networks to the websites and apps of a number of foreign eSIM sellers. The first decision, dated 10 July 2025, named eight sellers, and no official reason was published.
Install the eSIM before you fly
The blocks target sellers’ websites and apps. Travel press advised visitors to download and set up their eSIM before departure, while still on their home network, so they are not left looking for public Wi-Fi on arrival. With Voyafi the installation details arrive by email right after payment; once installed, the data connection runs over the Turkish networks listed on this page, not through our website.
5G in Türkiye since April 2026
Commercial 5G started in Türkiye in April 2026, first in the city centres of all 81 provinces, with nationwide coverage planned within two years, according to the government’s Investment Office. The network table on this page shows what our Türkiye plans list for each operator; actual speed also depends on your phone and the area, and outside city centres expect 4G.

Phones from abroad: the four-month rule
A phone brought from abroad can be used on Turkish networks without registration for four months in a calendar year; after that it has to be registered on e-Devlet, the government portal, for a fee of 54,258 TL in 2026. A normal holiday stays well within this limit. The report does not address foreign lines in roaming, such as a travel eSIM; for stays longer than four months, check with BTK.
Tourist SIM lines: shop visit and passport
Turkish operators sell tourist lines with a local number in their shops, including at airports. Vodafone’s Welcome to Turkey pack, for example, includes 20 GB and 750 minutes for 28 days; the pack itself is free, the SIM price varies by shop, and registration asks for a foreign passport number. A Voyafi eSIM is data-only: no Turkish number, but no shop visit or registration either.

Türkiye eSIM: common questions
- How much does an eSIM for Türkiye cost?
- Plans for Türkiye start at $1.98 for 1 GB valid for 1 day. The largest gives you 30 GB for 30 days at $14.99. Prices are in US dollars and are the final amount you pay.
- Which mobile networks does the Türkiye eSIM use?
- In Türkiye the plans run on Vodafone and Türk Telekom. Your phone connects to whichever is available where you are.
- Does the Türkiye eSIM support 5G?
- Yes. 5G is listed for Vodafone and Türk Telekom. You get it where the local network has 5G coverage and your iPhone supports 5G; elsewhere the eSIM uses the fastest network available.
- Can I use the same eSIM in other countries?
- The plans on this page work in Türkiye only. If your trip continues, the Middle East plan covers Türkiye and 11 other countries on one eSIM, from $15.05.
- When does my Türkiye plan start?
- When the eSIM first connects to a network in Türkiye, not when you buy it — so you can install it at home before you travel.
- Does the Türkiye eSIM give me a local phone number?
- No. These plans are data-only: mobile internet, not a local phone number, and no calls or SMS. Your usual number stays on your iPhone.
- How do I buy a Türkiye eSIM?
- On this website or in the Voyafi app: pick Türkiye, choose a plan and pay once. You confirm your phone supports eSIM before you pay, then install the plan with one tap.
- Can I buy a Voyafi eSIM after arriving in Türkiye?
- Yes. Installation details arrive by email right after payment. To install, you need a working connection such as hotel or airport Wi-Fi. Because Türkiye blocked several eSIM sellers’ websites in 2025, buying and installing before you travel is the safer order.
- Does a website block in Türkiye affect an eSIM I have already installed?
- The 2025 decisions blocked access to sellers’ websites and apps. A Voyafi eSIM’s data runs over the Turkish networks listed on this page and does not need voyafi.app to stay connected; you only need our website or app to buy a new plan or to check your usage.
- Do I need a passport or a shop visit for a Türkiye eSIM?
- Not for a Voyafi eSIM: you buy it online and install it yourself, with no registration in a shop. Turkish tourist lines work differently: Vodafone, for example, sells them in its shops and asks for a foreign passport number when the line is registered.
