Yes Pam,

Turkcell can offer you both contract and pay-as-you-go offers.

Alternatively, you can also check Vodafone and Avea.

Good luck

Pam!! In my expert opinion, you should take it to the nearest mobile phone shop to get it checked immediately in order to prevent it from causing any further grievances in the coming future once and for all!!

On a serious note, if you have brought your cell phone from abroad, you might need to have it registered in Turkey.

An alternate is to buy a phone from Turkey.

Hopefully, this should be helpful for you in future in case you stop receiving any service on your phone.

You're welcome. I do hope you exchanged for a brand new phone and not a second hand one. Used phones almost always聽 are problem prone. : )

Good luck

Errr.. Pam...

People get ripped off here EVERY day... I doubt you will get your cell phone back.

I would highly insist that you go with someone local tomorrow.

Hi there,

I made similar experiences. I guess it is the best to buy a local phone if you intend to stay for longer. Otherwise, you can register a phone from the UK or elswhere but it is expensive and might not be worth it.聽

Best of luck with it!

Hello,

What is the name of the place where they register the phones? When you go to Vodafone or Turkcell, they don't give this information.

The amount suggested above is badly exaggerated misinformation. You need to pay TL130, which amounts to around $40 in order to have your cell phone registered.

I would strongly suggest you not contacting anyone in private who gives out misinformation. Istanbul can be loaded with scammers.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask on open forum.

You dont need to buy a new phone. You can buy a local sim at the airport.

You can use your cell phone in Turkey easily for two months without registration.

In order to use it for more than two months, you can have it registered for 130 TL in the nearest bank where the staff will guide you through the process.

Good luck
