Turkey eSIM for UK Travellers | Prepaid Mobile Data from £3.99
Get mobile data in Turkey for maps, WhatsApp, hotel apps, taxis, translation and browsing. This is a prepaid data-only travel eSIM for compatible unlocked phones, useful for trips to Istanbul, Antalya, Dalaman, Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, Cappadocia and other popular travel areas.
Best for most UK travellers
Choose 5GB–10GB for a normal 5–7 day Turkey trip. Choose 10GB–20GB if you use maps all day, upload videos, make video calls or share hotspot. Light users who mainly need maps and messaging can start with 3GB–5GB.
Turkey is outside EU roaming
Many UK mobile plans treat Turkey separately from Europe. Check your provider's roaming terms before travel, or use prepaid travel data to control your cost.
eSIM details by email
Buy before you fly and receive installation details by email. No physical SIM card, shipping wait or airport phone-shop queue.
Keep your UK SIM active
Use the Turkey eSIM for mobile data while keeping your UK SIM for calls, SMS and banking verification codes.
Install before departure
Install the eSIM on Wi-Fi before travelling, then select it for mobile data after arrival in Turkey.
Which Turkey eSIM plan should you choose?
| Trip type | Suggested plan | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| Light backup data | 1GB–3GB | Messaging, basic maps and occasional browsing |
| Weekend in Istanbul | 3GB–5GB | Maps, WhatsApp, taxis, hotel apps and restaurant searches |
| 5–7 day holiday | 5GB–10GB | Daily navigation, social media, translation and travel apps |
| 10–14 day trip | 10GB–20GB | Regular use, photo uploads, video calls and hotspot sharing |
| Heavy data use | Daily data plans | Frequent video, work use or a higher daily allowance |
Tip: Video apps, Reels/TikTok, cloud photo uploads and hotspot use consume data much faster than maps and messaging.
Airport arrival
Use data after landing to open maps, message your transfer driver, check hotel bookings or arrange transport from Istanbul, Antalya, Dalaman or Bodrum airports.
Cities and resorts
Useful for Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Antalya, Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye and resort areas, subject to local network coverage.
Cappadocia and road trips
Download offline maps before long drives. Rural roads, mountains, cave hotels and thick stone buildings may have weaker signal.
Data-only eSIM: This Turkey eSIM does not include a Turkish phone number, calls or SMS. Use your UK SIM for normal calls, texts and banking codes, and use the eSIM for mobile data.
Before you buy: Your phone must support eSIM and be network-unlocked. Install the eSIM while connected to Wi-Fi. Do not delete the eSIM after installation unless support asks you to, as many travel eSIMs cannot simply be reinstalled after removal.
Coverage note: Coverage is usually strongest in cities, airports and resort areas. Speeds and 4G/5G access can vary by local network conditions, buildings, terrain and device model.
Long stay note: This product is for short-term travel data. If you plan to stay in Turkey long-term or use a foreign phone there for many months, check Turkey's local IMEI/device registration rules separately.
Roampass provides prepaid travel eSIM data for compatible devices. This product is not a Turkish mobile contract and does not replace emergency calling, local SIM registration or your normal UK phone number.
