Mobile phone sim roaming (NOT EU)

AnotherPersona

Hi all,

I brand new on here, and desperately looking for some help.
Myself and my family are heading to Turkey for holidays in April. I really need mobile data while there, (Google maps, the kids hotspotting from my phone etc.). I would like to get a sim only 30 rolling contract with approx. 25 - 50 GB of data for the ten days. My current provider: BT have said they cannot provide this service. I'm also told Vodafone did used to do Turkey, but no longer apparently. 
I think £30 ‐ £40 would be OK, but any more than that, and it's going to be too much. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Adam.

I've not been to Turkey for some years but if you are only after data then a local sim will almost certainly be cheaper than any UK-bought solution. A quick Google shows 20GB on Voda for 40 TRY (couple of quid) for a Tourist sim.

Having said that, the process for getting your phone registered to use a Turkish sim looks, er, interesting. Anyone been recently and can explain?

Thanks lobster. 
I'll take a look at getting one of those cards.
Cheers.
