Hi can anyone help, I am due to go to turkey and they do a tourist sim card through Turkcell, if I purchased a simcard would it work in my Samsung S10+ that I have had over a year now? Many thanks in advance.

Hi @Winduss59 

 

Where did you buy your current phone from? The answer to your question depends on it.

 

If you bought your phone from EE directly, then it will be locked to only accept EE SIMs and will need unlocking to accept a SIM from any other operator. You can read how to unlock it here 

 

If you bought your phone from a third-party, then it depends whether it was supplied SIM-locked. It's unlikely to be locked given that such retailers tend to sell to customers of all networks, but the only way to be sure is to try a non-EE SIM in it.
