🇹🇷 Turkey
Antalya eSIM
Land in Antalya, scan a QR, and you're online on a local network in seconds. No daily roaming fee, no surprise bill. $1.60 per GB.
Data in Antalya
In Antalya the eSIM rides Turkcell with 4G LTE typically available - the same towers local subscribers use, selected automatically by signal strength. City centers, transit, and airports are the strongest coverage any network offers, so this is the easy case. Turkey caps roamers at 4G (5G is not yet commercially launched). Istanbul, the coast, and Cappadocia are all well covered.
Pricing is Turkey's flat rate of $1.60/GB, metered per MB from a prepaid USD balance. A city break runs light: maps, ride-hailing, translation, and messaging together use well under 500 MB a day for most travelers, so $10 (≈ 6.3 GB) commonly outlasts the trip - and whatever's left keeps working in the next city, or next year.
Arrival checklist
- 1. Install the eSIM on Wi-Fi before you fly (QR or one-tap iPhone install).
- 2. Turn Data Roaming ON for the Anon eSIM line; leave it off on your home SIM.
- 3. Set Anon eSIM as the mobile data line; keep calls/SMS on your primary.
- 4. Land in Antalya, drop airplane mode, and you're connected within a minute.
No ID, no account, no email - $5 minimum plus a one-time $5 setup fee for a new eSIM. Top-ups later are fee-free.
