Turkey data pricing
One rate: $1.60/GB, metered per MB against a prepaid USD balance. No daily passes, no expiring bundles, no throttling tiers - unused credit stays on your eSIM forever and works in the next country you visit.
| Top-up | Data in Turkey | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | ≈ 3.1 GB | $1.60/GB |
| $10.00 | ≈ 6.3 GB | $1.60/GB |
| $20.00 | ≈ 12.5 GB | $1.60/GB |
| $50.00 | ≈ 31.3 GB | $1.60/GB |
A one-time $5 setup fee applies to a brand-new eSIM; top-ups to an existing eSIM carry no fee. Rates are pay-as-you-go, so light days cost cents and heavy days just draw down the balance faster.
Networks and speeds in Turkey
Anon eSIM connects through roaming agreements with Turkcell, with 4G LTE typically available to roamers. Your phone picks the strongest partner signal automatically and re-selects as you move - there is nothing to configure.
Turkey caps roamers at 4G (5G is not yet commercially launched). Istanbul, the coast, and Cappadocia are all well covered.
The APN is provisioned automatically with the eSIM profile. You do not need to enter APN settings manually on iOS or Android - the only switch you must flip is Data Roaming: ON for the Anon eSIM line, because the service is technically a roaming profile everywhere it operates.

In-country context: Turkey
Local prepaid SIM registration: mandatory. Turkey requires passport + IMEI registration and blocks foreign-registered phones after 120 days. Roaming eSIMs avoid this entirely. This is exactly the paper trail Anon eSIM avoids - your identity never touches the local carrier, because you attach as a roamer on a foreign anonymous profile.
On arrival: IST and SAW sell tourist SIMs at premium prices ($30+ for 20GB). eSIM roaming avoids the IMEI-blocking problem that traps travellers on longer stays.
Typical speeds: 40-120 Mbps on 4G LTE; no commercial 5G yet. Prices from the live rates data: $1.60/GB, metered per MB against a prepaid USD balance.
Registration status
Passport required for local SIMs
Anon eSIM sidesteps this entirely - the eSIM is issued from an ID-free jurisdiction and you use it as a visitor's roaming SIM in Turkey. No local paperwork.

Turkey eSIM FAQ
Does Anon eSIM work in Turkey?+
Yes. In Turkey the eSIM attaches to Turkcell (4G LTE) through our roaming agreements, so you get the same towers a local subscriber does. Turkey caps roamers at 4G (5G is not yet commercially launched). Istanbul, the coast, and Cappadocia are all well covered.
What does a Turkey eSIM cost?+
$1.60 per GB, billed per MB against a prepaid USD balance that never expires. There are no daily fees and no expiring bundles - $5 of credit buys about 3.1 GB, $20 buys about 12.5 GB. A one-time $5 setup fee applies to a brand-new eSIM only.
Do I need an account or ID to get a Turkey eSIM?+
No. There is no KYC, no email, and no account. Pay $5 minimum by card (including Apple Pay / Google Pay) or crypto (BTC, Lightning, USDT), scan the QR, and you're online. Your only credential is a random recovery token stored on your device.
Can I use hotspot / tethering in Turkey?+
Yes - hotspot is included at full speed on every Anon eSIM, with no extra fee and no separate tethering cap. Laptops, tablets, and consoles all work.
Does the same eSIM work outside Turkey?+
