Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your Türkiye eSIM

Your eSIM uses Turkcell, Vodafone Türkiye, and Türk Telekom. All three support 4G on bands B1, B3, B7, B8, B20. Turkcell also supports B38. In 5G areas, all three use band n78. Sticking to these three operators gives broad coverage across cities and main roads.

All three networks require 4G band B20 (800 MHz) for rural and indoor coverage. Many older US and Asian phones omit B20. If your phone lacks B20, expect weaker signal outside city centres and inside buildings. Check your phone's 4G band list before travelling.

No. Coverage is limited or absent in eastern and southeastern rural areas near the Syrian and Iraqi borders. If you travel there, expect no service. The same applies to some rural highways and mountainous inland areas of the Black Sea region, which rely on 3G only.

The eSIM providers do not throttle or filter data beyond your plan limits. However, Türkiye has strict internet regulations that may block specific sites or services (e.g., social media platforms were blocked in the past). These blocks apply to all carriers, including eSIM data.

No. Foreign visitors are not required to register a passport or ID for prepaid eSIMs from international providers. Local Turkish SIMs require registration, but our eSIM activates automatically. Just install it before departure and connect upon arrival.
