Validity starts the first time you use the eSIM on a network. Hotspot sharing is allowed. A refill is used after your current plan ends, not added to it.
Networks
Which Network Will It Use in Türkiye?
Your eSIM is set up to work on:
Vodafone Türkiye
Türk Telekom
Your phone normally picks the strongest of these automatically, so you do not need to choose. Which network connects can vary by location, and coverage is not guaranteed everywhere. Networks and coverage can also change over time.
No signal or no internet? First check that the eSIM line is on and Data Roaming is on for it. If it still fails, open the SIM settings for the eSIM, turn off automatic network selection and pick one of the networks above. Turn automatic selection back on when you leave the area.
Before You Fly
Get Ready at Home.
Check your phone supports eSIM. Use our phone check.
Make sure it is network-unlocked. Ask your carrier if you are unsure.
Install before departure, on Wi-Fi. The install guide has the steps for iPhone and Android.
For this trip: Note which airport your flight lands at and save your hotel address, so you can open it straight away.
On Arrival
Switch On in Türkiye.
Turn off airplane mode.
Turn on Data Roaming for the eSIM line and set mobile data to that line. Keep your home SIM for calls and WhatsApp.
Wait a minute for the network to appear, then open a web page to test. Use your data to open maps or a ride app and confirm your route before leaving the airport.
Good to Know
Notes for Türkiye.
Moving between cities. If you plan to visit more than one place, check on the plan page before you buy that every area you will visit is covered. Signal can differ between big cities and quieter regions.
Search for either name. You may see the country listed as Türkiye or Turkey. They mean the same place.
Cafés and hotels. Free Wi-Fi is common in tourist areas, but treat any public network as unknown.
Airport and hotel Wi-Fi is not secure. Anyone on the same network may be able to see what you do on it. Pair your eSIM with TasVPN for extra privacy on public networks.
