Exceptional 5G speeds in tourist hubs like Antalya and Bodrum.
By utilising Turkey's top networks, our coverage reaches most urban and travel regions.
Full coverage from the ruins of Ephesus to the travertine terraces of Pamukkale.
Traveler Note
While urban coverage is nearly 100%, speeds may naturally dip in remote parts of the Taurus Mountains or eastern rural areas.
Turkey is rapidly expanding its 5G infrastructure. While 4G is reliable, a 5G eSIM in Turkey is essential for navigating high-density areas where networks often become congested.
Maintain fast speeds in packed locations like Istiklal Avenue or the Blue Mosque
Lag-free performance for real-time ferry schedules, BiTaksi bookings, and AR navigation.
Quick Translation
Instantly translate Turkish signs and menus without any frustrating loading delays.
5G coverage and speeds can vary by city, device, and local network conditions, with 4G remaining the more consistent fallback in many areas. Your device will automatically drop to 4G in more remote areas to ensure your eSIM in Turkey stays connected.
Note: Requires a 5G/4G and eSIM-compatible, network-unlocked device.

Automatic 24-Hour Reset
Your high-speed allowance refreshes at midnight TRT.
The Bottom Line

Travel smart, stay connected
Yes, your WhatsApp will function exactly as it does at home. Because the SimCorner eSIM for Turkey provides a dedicated data connection that works alongside your primary SIM, your account remains tethered to your original phone number. You can message, call, and share media seamlessly without losing your chat history or needing to re-verify your account.
We recommend installing your Turkey eSIM before your departure while you have a stable home Wi-Fi connection. While the Data Roaming toggle should stay OFF until you land, pre-installing the profile ensures you have an immediate 5G/4G connection the moment your plane touches down and you switch Data Roaming ON. It helps you bypass the need to connect to unreliable airport Wi-Fi for your eSIM setup.
We stand behind our connectivity. Our 100% money-back guarantee covers you if your device is confirmed to be eSIM-compatible and unlocked, yet you experience a verified network failure that our 24/7 technical support team cannot resolve. Simply reach out via the SimCorner App or email so our experts can assist with real-time troubleshooting or process a prompt refund.
No, one of the biggest benefits of a SimCorner Turkish eSIM is that it requires zero paperwork. Unlike local physical SIM cards in Turkey, which often require a passport scan and a long registration process at a retail store, our eSIM can be purchased and activated digitally, saving you significant time upon arrival.
Yes, most modern flagship smartphones from Apple (iPhone XS and later), Samsung (Galaxy S20 and later), and Google (Pixel 3 and later) support eSIM technology. To be certain, your device must be network-unlocked.
Pro-Tip: Dial *#06# on your keypad; if you see an EID number listed, your phone is eSIM-compatible.
No. This is a data-only travel eSIM, so it does not include a local Turkish (+90) number for standard calls or SMS. You can still use apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, Messenger or other internet-based services to stay in touch. For most travelers, that covers everyday communication without having to buy a local physical SIM on arrival.
