About |
eSIM Turkey is an independent comparison site for UK travellers who want affordable, reliable mobile data in Turkey.
Turkey is outside the EU/EEA, so UK networks like EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three charge daily roaming fees that add up quickly. A prepaid travel eSIM is usually far cheaper, can be installed from home before you fly, and connects as soon as you land. There are no airport queues, no passport photocopying and no need to swap out your UK SIM.
We compare 13 trusted eSIM providers, including Saily, Breeze SIM, Airalo, Yesim, Holafly, Nomad and GigSky. Every plan is priced in British pounds, so you can see the real cost per GB at a glance. Our side-by-side tables cover data allowance, validity, host network (Turkcell, Vodafone or Türk Telekom) and hotspot rules, so you can pick the plan that fits your trip.
Whether you're on a 3-day Istanbul city break, a week on the beaches of Antalya or Bodrum, or a two-week family holiday, our guides help you choose the right plan. We also offer:
Data calculator: work out how many GB you need for maps, WhatsApp, streaming and hotspotting.
Device compatibility checks: step-by-step guides for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel.
Network and destination guides: coverage advice for Turkcell, Vodafone and Türk Telekom, plus city and resort-specific tips.
Dual SIM guidance: how to keep your UK number for calls, WhatsApp and bank 2FA texts while using a Turkey eSIM for data.
5G and roaming explainers: the latest on Turkey's 5G rollout and a clear cost comparison with UK carrier roaming.
All prices and plan details are checked regularly and our methodology is published openly. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you, and this is explained in our affiliate disclosure.
