A downloadable data plan for Turkey u2014 no physical SIM, no shop visit, and it activates as soon as you land.
What it costs
u20ac15. Included on the pass.
Will my phone work with it
Your device must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. On Apple that means iPhone XS or later and most recent iPads, running iOS 14.1 or newer. Most flagship Android handsets from recent years also support it. Check before you rely on it.
How to set it up
Install the profile before you travel, over wifi, then enable it on arrival. Setting it up at the airport on a weak connection is the one avoidable mistake.
Why it matters here
Turkey is outside most UK and EU roaming bundles, so data charges can be steep. Istanbul is also a city where maps and ride-hailing are genuinely useful, so being online is worth the u20ac15 several times over.
