Turkey eSIM for tourists: what you get

Your Turkey eSIM is a prepaid data plan that lives on your phone instead of a plastic card. You pick a plan, pay by card or Apple Pay, and install it in a few minutes. Your usual SIM can stay in the phone, so your own number remains where it is.

On this page you will find 25 plans for Turkey, from USD 0.60. Data goes up to 50 GB, and validity runs from 1 to 180 days. You can check the data you have left at any time and top up if your trip runs longer than planned.

Which eSIM is right for your Turkey trip?

Start with the length of your stay, then think about how you use your phone. A few simple guides:

  • Short city break: a small plan covers maps, messages and booking a ride.
  • A week or two of touring: choose a mid-sized plan if you share photos, use video calls or stream now and then.
  • Long stay or heavy use: a larger plan, up to 50 GB and 180 days, gives you room to work, stream and navigate without counting.

Not sure? Pick a slightly smaller plan and top up later. That way you only pay for more data if you actually need it.

eSIM Turkey with unlimited data

An unlimited data plan is also on sale for Turkey. It suits you if you stream a lot, work from your phone or share your connection with a laptop. You will see it listed with the other plans on this page.

How to install your Turkey eSIM

Before you buy, make sure your phone is unlocked and on our list of phones that support eSIM. Most recent iPhone and Android models do.

  1. Choose your plan and pay by card or Apple Pay.
  2. Scan the QR code or tap the install link we send you.
  3. Turn on the eSIM line for mobile data and enable data roaming for it.
  4. Land in Turkey and your data is ready to use.

Installing while you still have Wi-Fi at home or in the hotel makes things easier, since the setup needs a connection.

Is it worth buying an eSIM for Turkey?

For most travellers, yes. You skip the queue for a local SIM card, you know the price before you leave, and you have data the moment you switch on your phone. That helps with the first taxi, the hotel address and a quick message home.

Plans start at USD 0.60, which you can compare with what your home roaming costs. Many travellers find a prepaid eSIM simpler to control: once the data is used, nothing more is charged unless you choose to top up.
