Question about Mobile Phones in Turkey

in Mobiles
Hi
Does anyone happen to know if you can buy a SIM card in Istanbul, Turkey for a Turkish mobile network, WITHOUT having to buy a phone?
I know in the UK there are plenty of 'SIM-only' options, but could do with having this verified.
To anyone with knowledge on the ground- where is the best place to go in Istanbul for this?
My brother works in Istanbul and my mother is going to visit him in a couple of weeks. Last time she went she used her UK mobile to call him on his mobile and the bill was astronomical. So getting a Turkish SIM seems the best option.
Regards
Steven
