Phone Data in Turkey

I am going to Turkey for 6 Weeks working and I am going to need a lot of data - what is the best way to do this without costing a fortune?

@bobgiles : Outside the EU, you cannot use your usual UK allowances there but will need to pay the charges or buy roaming add-ons as set out in https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile/roaming/roaming-costs/countries/turkeyandnortherncyprus but you won't get loads of data there, 100s of MB a week at best.

If you are on contract, remember to text ROAMING to 150 before you leave UK to ensure the roaming ability is enabled on your account.

If you are on PAYG, make sure you have already used your PAYG SIM to make a call or text in the UK.

Hi @bobgiles

Get a local PAYG sim.

That is your best option.

Thanks
