My experience on a recent trip to Turkey. Flew into Istanbul Ataturk via the international terminal; as soon as you step through customs there is an area where at least three of the major carriers have prominent booths. Since I was concerned about coverage I decided to go with Turkcell.

I showed the person at the booth my iPhone and mentioned something about "mobile internet", and asked for a SIM that would work in the phone and to go ahead and get set up with the 4GB monthly allowance. She went ahead and registered my IMEI (which I don't believe cost me anything) and made sure the package was enabled on my phone. Everything was active by the time I walked away from the booth; total cost for SIM (with 5 TL of credit) and the 4GB internet plan was 89 TL.
