Hi going Istanbul at the end of June. Will I have to pay to use the WiFi out there, whilst out and about? Thanks

Whatever the local WiFi hotspots or hotel charge.

But I don't think you mean "WiFi " but you mean using data while roaming on a Turkish mobile network.

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.

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.

WiFi is just a wireless connection between a mobile device and broadband router - it is totally independent of any mobile network.

Using your phone on foreign networks is called roaming, and is totally separate from any WiFi usage you may have.
