Taking the family to turkey this summer. What would be the cheapest deal for mobile data?

EE appears to be £6 per day for 500mb. Anything better?

    If you are willing/able to switch networks then Vodafone and Vodafone VOXI allow you to use your plan data in Turkey. Voxi = £10/month for 6Gb data, £15-15Gb £20-45Gb. 30 day plan so if you are looking for something temporary then you could sign up and cancel with little commitment.

    I have a dual sim handset and I will be taking a voxi sim in the second sim slot for data during a trip to turkey later this year.

    hope this helps

    Vodafone treat it as Europe and UK users will roam on Turkey's Vodafone network for free.

    Currently they have an online only SIM which will give you 50GB extra for the first month, so the lowest package will give you 52GB for £10.

    It's monthly rolling contract, so just take the SIM back to the shop after your holiday and they will cancel it for you.

    Just to add, I can't find this on their site anymore, but it was definitely there before.

    In any case, you can buy a data only SIM with however much you need and use Vodafone for data as you would in the UK

    OK, here it is, it's under the PAYG SIMS, seems it expired 4th April, sorry. But you can still get the free roaming data SIM as previously described

    You can either roam with Vodafone, or buy a sim locally.
    I was offered 4gb for TRY 100 (about £15), although other packages are available :)
