Talk:Turkey/@comment-78.186.4.148-20110518201603

17th may 2011. Just got a Turkcell, not easy. They really did not want to sell a data only sim (went to several Turkcell shops in Ankara and Eskiseheir, and the same story in each one, when it came down to buying no Internet only sim in stock!!!!). In the end rather than buying another USB Internet adaptor with a data package, I got a voice sim and added 4Gb of data. Registering the IMEI was 10TL. 4GB was 39TL. Got about 15TL credit. The total cost was, 90TL. To be fair the staff were helpful and enabled everything in the shop once I went for this option. I was hoping to use it with an unlocked 3mifi, but no luck so far even knowing the APN etc. In addition, I am currently using the sim in an iPhone 3GS, but it only shows edge ('E'). I wonder do I need to send another text to enable 3G? I hope this helps others, and maybe you can update the costs on the website. The staff did say you should be able to register the IEMI at the airport, but I didn't notice anything in Ankara airport. Registration lasts for 2 years, so it's handy if you travel to and from Turkey, and keep the same device. I hope this is helpful to other people, Tom.
