Türkiye eSIM for travellers
Data in Türkiye, from the moment you land
Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya or the Aegean coast: get data on arrival for maps, ride apps and translation.
Choose your plan
Unlimited: 2 GB a day at full speed, then up to 512 kbps for the rest of the day.
Prices will be shown at launch. Leave your email at checkout and we'll tell you the day we open.
Good to know
Install before you fly
Install it at home on Wi-Fi. It stays off until you switch it on for data at your destination.
Keep your own SIM
Your usual SIM stays in for calls and texts. Set the Veela eSIM as your line for mobile data.
Help when you're there
The assistant answers in your language at any hour, and a person picks up anything it can't fix.
Tips for Türkiye
- Phones bought abroad may be blocked on Turkish networks after a while if used with a local SIM. A roaming travel eSIM avoids that registration.
- Cappadocia balloon flights and valleys can have weak signal; download booking confirmations first.
- BiTaksi and Uber work in Istanbul; elsewhere taxis are mostly hailed on the street.
Türkiye eSIM questions
Do I need to register my phone in Türkiye?
Phones used with a Turkish SIM must be registered. A roaming travel eSIM doesn't require it for normal visits.
Does it work in Northern Cyprus?
No, Northern Cyprus isn't covered by the Türkiye plan.
When does the plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Türkiye. Installing it at home doesn't start the clock.
Is my phone compatible?
Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number and your phone is unlocked, it works. See the compatibility checker for common models.
Can I top up?
Yes. From your account, add data to the same eSIM without reinstalling it.
