Your phone joins whichever partner network has the strongest signal — nothing to pick manually. A few plans use one network only; each plan page lists its exact networks. Data only: calls and texts stay on your home SIM.
Multi-country plans with Turkey coverage, for trips that cross borders. Smallest first; Global covers the rest.

The one with enough data for your days, the networks that cover your route and a fair price. VoyaSIM's Turkey plans use Vodafone, Avea/Türk Telekom, and in the comparison read on 2026-10-20 they had the lowest price in 5 of 5 same-size plans against Airalo, Nomad, Saily, Ubigi, Yesim; the best-of page ranks every provider.
15 plans from $0.50 up to $26.10. Prices are live from the catalog and every plan page shows the current price, the data amount and the validity.
The plans connect to Vodafone, Avea/Türk Telekom, with 4G/LTE nationwide; 5G in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir. Coverage spans Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Antalya, Cappadocia, Bodrum, the Aegean coast, and the Mediterranean coast. Each plan page lists its networks and whether they offer 3G, 4G or 5G.
Turkey requires foreign mobile devices to register their IMEI within 120 days of entry. For shorter trips this rule does not affect VoyaSIM users — the eSIM works without IMEI registration.
No. Turkey is outside the EU's Roam Like at Home area, so an EU phone plan may charge roaming there unless your carrier includes it. A prepaid eSIM avoids those charges. VoyaSIM's Europe plans also include Turkey, so one eSIM can cover the rest of a European trip.
An eSIM is installed before you fly: no shop to find on arrival, no passport registration, and your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS. A local SIM can be cheaper for stays of several months or when you need a local phone number.
At the first connection to a network in Turkey, not when you buy or install it. Install at home over Wi‑Fi; the days start counting when you land.
The QR code arrives by email within minutes of payment. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM and scan it. Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. It takes about two minutes; the help center has the step-by-step version.
Yes. The eSIM carries data only and works next to your own SIM, so your number, WhatsApp, iMessage and banking apps keep working. Switch data roaming off on your home SIM so it never bills you abroad.
Yes, if the phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, it supports eSIM. iPhone XS, XR and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer and recent Samsung Galaxy phones all do; the help center has the full check.
Yes. Every plan allows personal hotspot and tethering, so a laptop or a travel companion's phone can share the eSIM's data. Shared use counts against the same allowance.
14 of 15 Turkey plans can be topped up from My eSIMs; each plan page shows it under “Top-up”. When a plan has no top-up, a second plan installs next to the first. An optional auto top-up refills fixed plans at 90% used and adds days to daily plans before they end. Daily plans get cheaper per day the more days you buy at once.
Yes, in full within 30 days of purchase, as long as the eSIM was never activated. A technical problem that stops activation is refunded too; write to support with your order number.
