eSIM Travel Tips for Turkey

Install your eSIM before you fly to Turkey
Set up your HelloRoam eSIM at home before your Thomson, easyJet, or TUI flight departs. Enable mobile data as you land and you will be connected in the arrivals hall. No need for a Turkish SIM card from the airport kiosk.
Currency and costs in Turkey
Turkey uses the Turkish lira. As a British traveller, your spending power is strong due to favourable exchange rates. Your HelloRoam eSIM cost is fixed in US dollars at purchase, so there are no currency conversion surprises. Budget your data plan before you fly and avoid unexpected mobile costs.
Coverage in inland and eastern Turkey
Istanbul, the Aegean coast, and Antalya region have excellent coverage. Cappadocia has reasonable 4G in Göreme and the main tourist towns but can be patchy on remote walking trails. Eastern Turkey, particularly Van, Erzurum, and rural border areas, has more limited signal outside major cities.

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) issues travel advisories for Turkey. Keep your HelloRoam eSIM active so you can check gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/turkey for updates, contact your travel insurer, and stay in touch with family back home throughout your trip.
Keep your UK number reachable
Turkey is outside the EU so UK network roaming charges can be higher than in Europe. Use your HelloRoam eSIM for all mobile data. Keep your UK SIM active in your second slot for incoming calls and texts. Avoid surprise roaming charges on your return from a Turkish holiday.
