Türkiye straddles Europe and Asia, sits outside the EU roaming zone, and enforces IMEI registration on foreign phones (mandatory after 120 days). For short trips, a travel eSIM sidesteps all of it.

Pick by travel style

🎈 Cappadocia balloonsGöreme has good coverage — you can even stream from the balloon at dawn on Turkcell-based plans.
🕌 Istanbul city breakFull bars on both continents; a regular tier is fine and the ferry stays connected.
🏖️ Mediterranean coastAntalya's coastline is well covered; for 2+ weeks pick a big-data tier — hotel Wi-Fi is mediocre.

FAQ

Does Türkiye's IMEI rule affect eSIMs?

Not within 120 days. After that, unregistered foreign phones get cut off — travel eSIMs included. Long stays require proper IMEI registration.

Do Turkish eSIMs need ID?

Travel eSIMs don't; store-bought local SIMs require passport registration.

Will it work across the border in Greece or Bulgaria?

Türkiye-only plans exclude the EU — switch to a Europe regional or Balkans plan before crossing.
