How to Choose a Turkey eSIM

Here are a few considerations to help you select a Turkey eSIM:

• Where are you traveling? A Turkey eSIM will keep you connected within the country. If your trip includes other countries and regions, consider a regional or global eSIM instead.
• How long will you be away? Each Airalo eSIM plan has a validity period that tells you how long you can use it (e.g., 7 days, 15 days, 30 days). If you extend your trip, you can top up or purchase another eSIM to stay connected.
• How much data do you need? Airalo eSIMs also come with a set amount of data (e.g., 1GB, 3GB, 5GB). The amount you need will depend on how you use your smartphone when you travel. 1GB is generally enough for you to check emails, scroll social media, and browse the internet for 20-30 minutes a day over a month.

Is Your Device eSIM-Compatible?

Before you purchase a Turkey eSIM, you’ll want to ensure your phone supports eSIM technology. To use an eSIM, your phone must be:

• Carrier-unlocked. Your device can’t be tied to a contract with a mobile carrier. If you purchased your phone outright, it’s likely unlocked. If you aren’t sure, we recommend contacting your carrier to double-check.
• eSIM-compatible. Most smartphones manufactured since 2018 are eSIM-compatible, but this can vary depending on your location and provider. You can review our list of eSIM-compatible devices to see if your phone has eSIM capability.
