    Roaming charges in Turkey are very high so make sure you turn roaming off on your phone before leaving the UK. The last time I went to Turkey I had forgotten and ran up £10 in background data charges just in the first hour before I remembered.

    For mobiles most people use WhatsApp or Facetime these days but for landlines I just put a £5 credit onto my Skype account and use the hotel/restaurant's wifi.

    For mobile data services SIM cards are still very expensive in Turkey


    Turned off data.  Will that stop roaming?

    On Android phones there is usually an option that enables roaming in the settings.
