Turkey eSIM for Istanbul, Antalya, and holidays

Choose a prepaid Turkey eSIM before departure and use mobile data for maps, WhatsApp, transfers, restaurant bookings, and accommodation in Istanbul, Antalya, Bodrum, and beyond.

Flying into Istanbul Airport, Turkey's vast main gateway? Cross the bridge between continents already online instead of queuing for a SIM. Your Turkey eSIM activates as you reach the gate, so you can book a transfer, open maps, and message home before your bags arrive. Coverage stretches from Istanbul's bazaars to the beaches of Antalya and the valleys of Cappadocia.

Important cities in Turkey

Istanbul · City guide

Istanbul

Istanbul spans two continents and a maze of neighbourhoods, so live maps and ride-hailing are invaluable between the Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar, and a ferry across the Bosphorus. An Istanbul eSIM keeps your navigation running as you wind through Sultanahmet and Beyoglu, helps you translate menus, and lets you book tickets and tables on the move. From the airport in, you can stay connected in Istanbul without searching for a SIM kiosk.

Frequently asked questions

Which eSIM is best for Turkey?

Pick the data amount and validity that match your trip. A small plan covers a few days of maps and messaging; choose a larger plan for longer stays or heavy use. You can top up any time.

Can I keep using my number while using an eSIM in Turkey?

Yes. Your physical SIM stays in your phone for calls and texts on your usual number, while the eSIM carries your data. Most recent phones support using both at once.

Can I use a hotspot with my eSIM in Turkey?

On most phones, yes — you can share your eSIM data over a personal hotspot. Just enable hotspot or tethering in your phone's settings.

When should I activate my eSIM for Turkey?

Install the eSIM at home over Wi-Fi before you travel, then turn the data line on when you arrive in Turkey. Data is only used once it connects to a local network.

Do I need an eSIM-compatible phone?

Yes — your phone needs to support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Most phones from the last few years qualify; look for an 'Add eSIM' option in your settings.

Is this eSIM data-only?

Yes, these plans are data-only. Use internet-based apps like WhatsApp, Viber or FaceTime for calls and messages over the data connection.
