Honestly its the first time i tried esim from Strong esim and i only chose as it was the Cheapest esim deals i could find. But it worked very well and no issues whatsoever
Turkey doesnt have 5G except some spesific places. So the 5G thing is a lie. I got a maximum of 20 mbps so i guess the 5 mbps thing is a lie as well. The esim took a bit to generate. There is a lot of latency. It gives you a london ip adress from a swedish company when its supposed to give you a polish one. Overall experience gets a 5/10
eSIM is based in Gambia and this was not specified anywhere. It provides a horrible latency (500ms) and no 5G as specified. Stay away
Good instructions and super easy setup - super cheap, thought in the beginning it was sketchy but it’s not.
Could install the card before traveling which meant it didn’t require network for setup in the target country.
Nice that the website shows the data usage.
Bnesim works really well in Istanbul – I usually get speeds between 70 and 100 Mbps. And their customer service is great – they reply within just a couple of minutes.
took 2 mins to activate but it said in the mail it'd take 30mins even up to 24 hrs, scared me a little
Ik had 2 e-sim gekocht van 20 GB ieders. Die van mij werkte meteen perfect. Die van mijn vrouw niet. Na een korte mail wisseling een nieuwe e-sim gekregen. Deze werkte daarna perfect. Super service van LinkeSIM!
Bereik en snelheid was prima.
Volgende keer kijk ik weer bij deze provider.
After a satisfied test in 2024 with Yesim in Turkey, it was clear to me to go for an eSIM from Yesim also during my vacation in 2025.
Activation is super easy, it is even possible to buy it in advance and activate it at a later time (for example, when the vacation starts). Deferred activation. Very convenient.
I was curious about the connection speed in 2025 and was amazed at how fast the Internet was with Türk Telekom.
In 2025 the download speed was between 30 and 50 Mbps and the upload was super high above 90 Mbps.
The network was 4G/ LTE+ - since 5G is almost not yet built out in Turkey (only in and around Istanbul and certain soccer stadiums)
You get a Polish IP address with Yesim (Polish provider Plus) which gives the advantage of being able to access/view/use all apps and websites without problems (Geoblock/Countryblock)
Very satisfied with Yesim and will use this app again in the future.
Turkish Riviera - Antalya - Belek
15GB Option used.
Used: May/June 2025
Used the Turkey eSIM right after landing in Istanbul. Had great connection during the bus ride to Cappadocia, could work and even stream movies without issues. Was great choice for me and will continue to use.
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.
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.
It so much easy to find best price plan. In one place I brought Europe 🌍 and turkey. Both on great price.
Honestly I was looking for the cheapest, but I got the best! Thank you bne sim, also your support was very quick and awesome.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Used: May 2024
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
Mobimatter (eSimGo) 3GB 5G eSim. Worked fine in Türkiye. Good speed, no problems. Host network: Turkcell 4G. Unfortunately there was no 5G in Türkiye, so I should have selected 4G version of this SIM that was bit cheaper.
Initially (right after landing) it took a while to register in the host network, several refuses, but after that -- no problems. Also I tried this SIM in Estonia: Host networks: Telia (5G, 4G), Tele2 (4G). Worked seamless.
At first did not work and after 2 hours of trying everything I'm told in the e-mail they sent me and failing many times to connect, with frustration I deleted my eSIM (never do that) but when I informed the company, they provided a new QR code with automated connection details which worked like a charm. I'm getting 4.5G with no drops, no slowing downs etc. It is now a 5-star deal but being frustrated at first, I'm cutting 1 star and giving a 4.
Bought Turkey Unlimited 5 days for USD 18 and USD 0.85 for the convenience
of paying online.
Date of purchase 10/60/2023
IOS 16 activation problem, after reading the QR code activation process started but never finished.
Airhubapp.com help section is useless, the activation process shown is for IOS 13, totally different from IOS 16.
Support chat: nobody to talk to, support e-mail: no response within 1 hour.
19 dollars out of the window. Not nice.
My experience using an Airhub eSIM in Turkey was smooth and hassle-free, as I was able to consistently access LTE speeds that exceeded those of my hotel's WiFi. There were only a few isolated areas where I experienced a lack of coverage.
Rafael resolved my eSim problems quickly and with a lot of assistance. With the screenshots I shared, they were able to immediately identify my problem and Rafael fixed it,Thank you!!
Airalo APP is really great, but service is very poor.
In Japan when it connects it's very fast on DOCOMO, often it cannot connect to KDDI (when it does, it's fast too). The big issue with Airalo for me, on a Pixel 6a and Pixel 4a is availability.
In all 3 countries (Eurolink, Asialink, Japan, Turkey cards) I frequently loose connectivity and have no signal even after restarting the phone (even in central train stations, airport, etc).
Japan and Asia cards are going via SingTel Singapore (but I have a Singtell card and the experience is better than Airalo).
Turkey card goes through OVH france, Netflix doesn't work.
Eurolink, only 3G in Georgia so couldn't connect 99% of the time. When it did, it was extremely slow that even whatsapp not going through easily.
Two different phones, both Pixel phones though.
Disconnects every 3 minutes for 5-10 minutes in Istanbul. Credit check number *153 doesn't work (reports wrong number). Not usable.
I took it on a trip from two different operators. From 3h did not work in Georgia. Globalesim worked without problems in Russia, Armenia, Turkey, Georgia.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Turkey, and how many prepaid data plans are there?
There are about 120 travel eSIM providers and roughly 7, 500 prepaid data plans available for Turkey. With this wide variety of options, travelers can easily find a plan that matches their data needs.
Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Turkey?
Unlimited data plans are available for Turkey from several eSIM providers. The options range from a $0.00 offer that includes ads and a 256 kbps speed limit, to higher‑priced plans that allow full 5 G speeds but may still be throttled after a certain data volume. All providers with unlimited data are listed above: Firsty, Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Roamify, Earth Esim, Truely, esimzon, Yesim and FairPlay. Prices for these unlimited options span from free to about $29.70 USD, so travelers can choose a plan that matches their budget and data needs while keeping an eye on any potential speed restrictions or advertising.
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.
Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Turkey?
Yes, travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS for Turkey can be found. The providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM and Roamify. GlobaleSIM supplies a number with the dialing code +1 (used for the United States and Canada), with inbound and outbound voice and inbound SMS capability, while Roamify offers numbers with the dialing codes +33 (France) and +44 (United Kingdom), supporting inbound and outbound voice and SMS.
Because the dialing codes are not the local Turkish code +90, the phone numbers provided are foreign international numbers rather than local Turkish numbers. Prices for the Turkish eSIM plans start around $4.00 for a 1 GB data bundle over 7 days and increase up to about $30.00 or more for larger data packages that last 30 days, with Roamify offering unlimited calls and SMS on its Turkey-specific bundles.
