Pre-departure note for Turkey
Is your eSIM banned in Turkey? Short answer: it still works — until you need a top-up.
Turkey blocks the websites and apps of 30+ eSIM providers inside the country. Your data keeps flowing, but mid-trip top-ups and re-purchases often don't. The fix is simple: install before you fly, and buy more than you think you need.
The useful bit is what happens when the data runs out.

Installed eSIMs keep working. What gets blocked is access to the provider when you need to buy again.

What the Turkish block actually does
A website block is inconvenient. It is not a reason to panic, and it is not a switch that kills an installed SIM.
The distinction that mattersNot a SIM
kill-switch.
kill-switch.
Since July 2025 the regulator (BTK) has blocked ACCESS to major eSIM providers' sites and apps from inside Turkey. It is a website block, not a SIM kill-switch.
Installed eSIMs keep working. The trap: topping up mid-trip through a blocked app/site can fail exactly when you're out of data.
That makes the sensible move boring and useful: decide your data allowance while you still have normal access, then install it before your departure day gets busy.
01

More upfront data is easier than a blocked top-up flow later.
03
Screenshot your QR and confirmation.
Keep the essentials available even when airport Wi-Fi is not.
Put the options next to each other
Plan for the quiet moment when your data runs out.
| Option | Before you leave | Inside Turkey |
|---|---|---|
| Typical tourist eSIM 5-10GB + top-up when empty | Install the SIM and plan to add data later. | Top-up may depend on a provider site or app that is blocked. |
| UK roaming £7/day £98/fortnight on O2 or Three | Keep using your regular SIM abroad. | Simple to start; expensive over a fortnight. |
| RoamTurkey oversized bundle one payment, no top-up needed | Buy, install and save the confirmation before takeoff. | Arrive with the data buffer already in place. |

Questions you would ask before takeoff.
Will it work on my iPhone or Android?
Yes, if your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked. Check your model and network lock before you buy.
Can I use hotspot?
Yes. Hotspot is supported, so you can share the connection with a laptop or another device.
Does my WhatsApp number change?
No. WhatsApp stays linked to your existing number. Use the Turkey eSIM for data while keeping your usual number in WhatsApp.
What if I somehow run out?
Email us. We push a top-up from our side within the hour — our fulfilment runs outside the blocked platforms. That is the point of buying from a shop that is not blocked.
What if my QR fails?
