Do you really need an eSIM? Turkey is not in the EU: no free roaming from Europe. International plans cost $5-15/day. To avoid exorbitant fees, an eSIM is essential.

From ~$2 (1 GB) to $47 (unlimited 15 days). Best value: GoMoWorld 10 GB at $6.80 with code ESIMP. Lowest price: LinkeSIM 10 GB at $4.50.
Turkcell is the leader (98%+ coverage, 5G in Istanbul/Ankara/Izmir). Vodafone Turkey and Türk Telekom also offer excellent coverage. Most eSIMs use Turkcell.
Warning: Some VPNs may be blocked in Turkey. Saily includes NordVPN which generally works well. Check compatibility before your trip if you plan to use a VPN.
Holafly: allowed. Airalo: generally yes. GoMoWorld, LinkeSIM: works but not guaranteed. Plan 15+ GB for 2 people.

Turkey is not part of the European Union, so no free roaming agreement applies. If you enable mobile data at Istanbul airport with your home plan, you'll be charged international rates, typically $5-15/day with very limited data allowances.
For a 10-day trip including Istanbul, Cappadocia, and Antalya, roaming could cost $50-150, far more than a complete eSIM plan. An eSIM represents economic necessity, not luxury.
Additionally, many carriers drastically throttle speeds in non-EU roaming or impose very low consumption caps. With a local eSIM, you enjoy full Turkish network performance.
Turkey has modern telecom infrastructure with excellent 4G coverage (98%+) and ongoing 5G deployment in major cities:
| Carrier | Coverage | 5G | Used by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turkcell | 98%+ | Yes (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir) | Airalo, GoMoWorld |
| Vodafone Turkey | 95%+ | Yes (deployment) | LinkeSIM |
| Türk Telekom | 94%+ | Yes (deployment) | Various |
Compatibility: iPhone XS+, Samsung S20+, Pixel 3+, Xiaomi 12+, OnePlus 8+
Important: Be aware of VPN restrictions in Turkey. Some VPNs may be blocked. Saily includes NordVPN which generally works well.
