Why use an eSIM here

Data from the moment you land at Istanbul Airport, Sabiha Gökçen or Antalya.
A local SIM card needs a shop visit and passport registration; an eSIM is ready before you fly.
Keep your home number for calls and bank texts.
Ideal for city breaks, beach holidays and tours.

How to get connected in 3 steps

Choose your plan on our eSIM page and enter code CONNECT at checkout.
Install the eSIM before you travel by scanning the QR code you receive by email (most recent iPhones, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones support eSIM).
Turn on the eSIM line and data roaming for it when you land – your normal SIM can stay in the phone for calls and texts.

Travel tips

Ride and transport apps make getting around Istanbul easier – keep data for them.
Download offline maps before balloon trips and tours outside the cities.
Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you fly.

Questions travellers ask

Do I need to register my phone in Turkey to use the eSIM?

A travel eSIM works as a roaming data service, so you do not need a Turkish SIM card. Buy and install it before you travel.

When should I install it?

Install it a day or two before you fly, while you are on Wi-Fi at home. Then turn the eSIM line on when you land.

Does my phone support eSIM?

Most recent iPhones (XS and newer), Samsung Galaxy S and Z models and Google Pixel phones support eSIM. Your phone must also be unlocked. You can check under Settings: if you see “Add eSIM” or “Add mobile plan”, it is supported.

Can I keep my WhatsApp and my normal number?

Yes. The eSIM only gives you data. Your normal SIM and number stay in the phone, and WhatsApp keeps working with your usual number.
