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.
Airalo does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Turkey. The plans labeled “Unlimited” in the catalogue—Eurolink - Unlimited and Merhaba - Unlimited—offer 3GB of high‑speed data each day for 10 days. Once the daily quota is reached, the speed is reduced to 1000kbps, so the data is not unlimited.
If a traveler needs more data, Airalo offers fixed‑data alternatives. For example, the Eurolink - 20 GB plan gives 20GB of high‑speed data for 30 days, while the Eurolink - 50 GB and Eurolink - 100 GB plans provide 50GB for 90 days and 100GB for 180 days, respectively. These options may be more cost‑effective for heavy data users.
Does Airalo offer Turkey eSIM with phone number and SMS?
Airalo does not provide Turkey eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capabilities. The available eSIMs are data‑only, so you cannot place or receive voice calls or send or receive SMS directly through the SIM. For voice and messaging you would need to rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage that work over data connections.
How many data plans does Airalo offer for Turkey?
Airalo offers 7 single‑country plans that cover only Turkey and 21 multi‑country plans that include Turkey, for a total of 28 distinct offerings. The catalogue provides both fixed‑data‑cap plans, which give a set amount of data for the entire validity period, and daily‑data‑cap plans that reset the allowance every 24 hours. Prices range from about $4.50 to $185, and data caps span roughly 1 GB to 100 GB.
