Experience was really bad. APN was not provided, so I waited it 2 hours from support.
As soon as I started using "unlimited" 128 kpbs internet eSIM was blocked and marked is expired in app.

Airhub

Irfanused in Turkey

Highly discourage anyone from purchasing an Airhub SIM. We purchased five SIMS (4GB each) for our family members and they all stopped working at 1.8GB.

I contacted customer service and they refuse to help and after doing a Google search, several customers have said they receive less than half the data they paid for, which is aligned with our experience.

There are much better companies out there.

ETravelSim

Štefanused in Turkey

Used the 10 day unlimited (4GB daily + 512 kbps afterwards) and 100 minutes option. Got UK number with it. First day, especially on the road the speed was excellent, but definitely haven't downloaded 4 GB. Near our hotel in Side the speed was slow even with 5G or LTE, but reasonable for photos and messaging, worse for navigation. In the afternoon the sim often disconnected quite randomly and I had to turn airplane mode on and off even 10-20 times a day. Interesting is that it never happened during am hours.

Instabridge

OTIused in Turkey

I did use an very fast LTE+ mobile data in Türkiye via Instabridge (which gave an polish internet connection). It is cheaper than local plans (20 GB with unlimited social app and 200min and some SMS 1400-1500 TRY (aprox 41-43.93 USD) - türkcell or vodafone) while Instabridge with 20GB for 7 days is 18.14 USD.

Unfortunatelly I had only some minutes internet connection after I arrived in the airport Antalya. The whole week I couldn't use the esim, even everything was configurated the correct way (as I mentioned, after I arrived in Turkey it worked for some minutes).
I won't use this esim anymore!

2 stars because the support team answered to my messages, even they couldnt really help.

Airhub

Abdul Zahabiused in Turkey

Horrible experience with Airhub. Their support is non existent. Ridiculously long wait times to hear back from anyone via email. Don't let the price or value fool you. It is not a good esim for turkey and probably other places too. One we activated the SIM it kept connecting then losing connection it kept doing that and used up data for doing absolutely nothing. Sending a message on Whatsapp took 5 mins or longer. Very unreliable, stay away. I want my money back!

Yesim

Daveused in Turkey

The next used eSIM during my 15-day stay in Turkey is the Yesim eSIM.
3GB Option for 30 days. ('Balkans-Region-Option' due to promo)

This worked fine as well.
Activation without any troubles.
In the region where I was, Turkish Riviera, I could only connect to Turk Telecom with 4G-speed. When trying manually to connect to other networks, this was not possible. Maybe that is just a local setting and may not be the case in other places in Turkey.

After using Vodafone with my previous eSIM, the now used Turk Telecom was perfectly working. The speed was roundabout the speed of Vodafone, did not feel any difference when using the internet.
Speed test as per below.

I would recommend to use the Yesim eSIM in Turkey.

GoMoWorld

Daveused in Turkey

Used the GoMoWorld eSIM in Turkey.
3.5GB Option for 7 days.

This worked fine.
Activation without any troubles.
In the region where I was, Turkish Riviera, I could only connect to Vodafone Turkey with 4G-speed. On Turkcell only 3G was possible. When trying manually to connect or force the phone to 4G, I got the message that no connection was possible. Maybe that is just a local setting and may not be the case in other places in Turkey.

Vodafone 4G however was workable.
Speed test as per below.

I would recommend to use the GoMoWorld eSIM for the use in Turkey.
Used: May 2024

Pricing for these unlimited plans generally ranges from approximately $0.00 to $161.90 USD, depending on the provider and validity period.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Turkey?

In Turkey, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) providing infrastructure for travel eSIMs are:

Turkcell: The largest mobile operator in Turkey, offering extensive coverage and advanced services, including 2G, 3G, 4.5G (LTE), and ongoing 5G testing.
Vodafone Turkey: A major provider with comprehensive 2G, 3G, 4.5G (LTE), and 5G (testing) services, known for its wide network reach.
Türk Telekom: Offers a range of services across 2G, 3G, 4.5G (LTE), and is currently testing 5G, contributing significantly to the country's mobile infrastructure.

Additionally, Turkey hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that lease access from these major carriers to provide mobile services. Notable examples include BİMcell and Pttcell. However, it's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.
