Turkey data plans

Match Your Data Plan to the Whole Stay

Include arrival and departure days when checking validity. Choose enough data for the activities you expect to do away from Wi-Fi, rather than comparing the package price alone.

Important! 1GB of full high-speed data where available per 24 hours. Thereafter your data speed will be reduced and will reset on the next 24h period.

Fixed data: Compare the total GB allowance with your expected use. Maps and messages are different from daily video calls or automatic photo uploads. If you intend to connect a laptop, check hotspot permission and include its consumption in your estimate.

Unlimited: Check the high-speed allowance and reduced-speed conditions shown with the options. Unlimited data is not the same as unlimited high-speed data. A fixed package may suit a large upload better than a plan with a daily high-speed allowance.

Onward destinations

Do You Need Data Outside Turkey Too?

For a trip continuing to Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus or elsewhere, check each destination in the exact package you choose. A nearby destination or a Europe label does not establish that both stops are included.

What you are buying

Travel Data Without a Local Calling Subscription

Online purchase

Choose your package before travelling rather than making a local SIM shop visit part of the first day.

Digital installation

Use the installation details supplied with your order. Check the validity-start rule before adding the profile.

Separate mobile data

Select the travel profile for internet access. Your home line retains its own terms for calls, messages and roaming.

Your existing apps

Continue using your messaging accounts over mobile data. A new data profile does not require a new WhatsApp number.

Before choosing

Four Checks That Matter More Than the Plan Name

Phone eligibility

Check the model and regional version with our eSIM compatibility guide. The phone must also be carrier-unlocked.

Usable roaming

Ask your home operator whether Turkey is included, with what allowance and charges. Do not infer inclusion from a package covering other European destinations.

Validity timing

Read what starts the purchased package’s validity. Payment, profile installation and connection to a network are different events.

Location and network

Use the supported-network information above and the selected plan’s terms. Reception and speed vary with the phone, location and network conditions.

From Purchase to an Installed Profile

Choose the allowance

Check dates, data and any sharing restrictions before selecting a Turkey package.

Find your order details

Your installation details are supplied after purchase by email and are available in your NoveSIM account.

Install with internet access

Follow the supplied instructions using a stable connection and a compatible device. Check the activation rule first.

Label the line clearly

Give the travel profile a recognisable name so it is easy to select instead of your home SIM.

Using the package in Turkey

Select and Test the Intended Data Line

Enable the profile

When using the package in Turkey, turn on the installed travel eSIM according to the order instructions.

Select mobile data

Choose the Turkey travel profile as the mobile-data line rather than leaving the choice on your original SIM.

Check roaming settings

Enable Data Roaming for the travel line as instructed. Keep home-line data roaming off if you do not intend to use that service.

Avoid an unintended fallback

Disable automatic data switching if it could send traffic through your home line. Calls and SMS on that line remain a separate choice.

Test with Wi-Fi off

Load a new webpage over mobile data. If it fails, check the selected line, allowance and validity; keep the installed eSIM unless support instructs you to remove it.

Compare the service

Turkey eSIM vs Local SIM vs Roaming

Option	Useful when	Check before choosing
NoveSIM travel eSIM	You want a separate prepaid data allowance	Phone compatibility, validity, data and plan restrictions; no Turkish number or carrier calls and SMS.
Local mobile service	You need a Turkish number or ordinary local calls	That the offer includes those features, plus visitor registration, purchase conditions and total cost.
Home-plan roaming	Your existing Turkey allowance fits the trip	Country inclusion, usable data, fair-use rules and charges; another package may be unnecessary.

Plan your consumption

Keep More of the Allowance for Travel

Download large maps and entertainment over Wi-Fi before travelling.
Check whether photo backups and app updates are permitted to use mobile data.
Include video calls and streaming when estimating the allowance, not just messages.
For permitted hotspot use, check the connected device’s updates and synchronisation.
Monitor the remaining allowance and expiry using the information supplied with your package.

Keep your existing number

Travel Data and Home Calls Are Separate

Keep your existing WhatsApp account while using the travel profile for data.
Retain your home SIM where your phone supports the required dual-SIM combination.
Check home-provider charges before answering or making ordinary calls abroad.
Do not expect carrier SMS sent to your home number to arrive on a data-only travel profile.

During the trip

Arrival, City Days and Journeys Between Stops

An Istanbul transfer

Save the accommodation address and pickup instructions before flying. Use the connected data line for updated directions and messages to your contact.

A coastal stay

Use data for bookings and communication away from hotel Wi-Fi. Check reception at the property before relying on it for an important call or permitted hotspot session.

Longer road journeys

Save relevant map areas and meeting details before leaving. A connection at one stop does not establish continuous reception on every road or inside every building.

FAQ

Turkey eSIM Questions Before You Buy

Does this plan include a Turkish telephone number?

We provide mobile data, not a Turkish phone number, standard voice calls or carrier SMS. Internet calling and messaging apps can use the connection.

Should I buy before travelling to Turkey?

You can purchase in advance and prepare the phone while you have an internet connection. Read the package’s validity-start rule and installation instructions before adding the profile.

Is Turkey included in my Europe roaming package?

Ask your home operator to confirm Turkey explicitly, together with the usable allowance and charges. A Europe label alone does not establish inclusion. Compare NoveSIM if you need separate or additional data.

Does Unlimited mean unlimited high-speed data?

No. Read the high-speed allowance, reduced-speed conditions and reset period displayed with the chosen option. Compare these with a fixed package for the amount and timing of data you expect to use.

Can I use the same package in Greece or Cyprus?

Only if that exact package explicitly includes the destination you need. Turkey coverage and nearby-product links do not establish combined coverage.

Can I share the connection with a laptop?

Check hotspot permission and any restrictions for the chosen plan and phone. Count laptop traffic as part of the allowance, including downloads, backups and video meetings.

Choose your travel allowance

Prepare Mobile Data for Your Turkey Stay

Compare data and validity for the full journey, check your phone and follow the purchased plan’s instructions. Choose local calling service separately if you need a Turkish number.
