Choose your eSIM plan for Turkey and travel smart, freely, and without limits with HandySIM.
Turkey has a modern 4G/LTE and 5G infrastructure. With HandySIM, you use the networks of leading operators Turkcell, Vodafone, and Türk Telekom, ensuring a priority connection ideal for video calls and work—often more stable than hotel Wi-Fi.
In Turkey, local SIM registration is required by law. It is important to know about device registration (IMEI): Turkey has strict laws against the black market. If you use a foreign phone with a local physical SIM for over 120 days, the device will be blocked unless a high state fee is paid. With a HandySIM eSIM, this does not affect you during tourist trips as the service operates in roaming mode. You can track and top up your mobile data at any time through your profile on our website.
No. With an eSIM, you save yourself the long wait at service counters. The installation process takes about 5 minutes, and we strongly recommend completing the installation before you enter Turkey. Once you land, simply enable "Data Roaming" and you are online instantly, avoiding the inflated SIM card prices at the airport.
WhatsApp, Viber, Messenger, FaceTime, and Skype work freely for voice and video calls. There is no permanent ban, but during emergencies (e.g., national security), their speed may be temporarily restricted (known as "throttling"). With HandySIM, you often have more stable access during such moments.
Apps like Istanbulkart or mobile navigation are key, as cash is almost no longer accepted for public transport in major cities. For taxis, use BiTaksi or Uber to ensure fair prices. All of these require constant mobile data.

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X (Twitter) are accessible. Access may occasionally be slowed down during major public events at the authorities' discretion. Your eSIM provides a reliable connection for real-time sharing.
PayPal has not operated in Turkey since 2016 due to licensing disputes. If you rely on it, you will face difficulties. Most Visa/Mastercard cards work, but digital wallets like Revolut can sometimes face restrictions at certain local terminals.
