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 true unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Turkey. The plans that include “Unlimited” in their name, such as Eurolink – Unlimited and Merhaba – Unlimited, actually offer a fixed 3 GB per day of high‑speed data; once that daily limit is reached the speed drops to a reduced 1000 kbps. For travelers who need more data or continuous unlimited access, Airalo offers several fixed‑data plans instead, such as the Eurolink – 100 GB plan (100 GB for 180 days, $185.00 USD) or the Eurolink – 50 GB plan (50 GB for 90 days, $100.00 USD). Choosing a fixed data plan can be more cost‑effective unless a user requires continuous high‑speed data beyond the daily cap.
Does Airalo offer Turkey eSIM with phone number and SMS?
Airalo does not provide a Turkey eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. The only Turkey eSIM options available from Airalo are data‑only plans. For voice and messaging, travelers can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection, which work without a traditional phone number or SMS service.
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.
