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 offer a truly unlimited high‑speed eSIM plan for Turkey. The plans that carry the word “Unlimited” in their name actually provide 3 GB of data per day and throttle the connection to 1000 kbps once that daily quota is reached. If you need more data, fixed‑data options are available. For example, Airalo offers a 100 GB plan valid for 180 days at about $185.00 USD and a 20 GB plan valid for 30 days at approximately $22.50 USD. Choosing a fixed‑data plan may be more cost‑effective unless you anticipate needing a very large amount of data every day.
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.
