What is a Turkey eSIM?
A Turkey eSIM is a digital SIM you install on your phone by scanning a QR code. It gives you mobile data in Turkey on local networks (Vodafone TR) without buying a physical SIM card at the airport or paying roaming prices from your home carrier.
With Wasla you compare data allowances, durations and euro prices for Turkey. Install your eSIM over Wi-Fi and follow the plan's activation instructions.
It works alongside your normal SIM. Keep your home number for calls and messages, and use the Turkey eSIM for maps, messaging apps, rides, banking and everything else that needs internet.
Plan details and usage rules
- Data plans: the full data amount can be used any time within the validity days.
- Unlimited plans, where available: consult the selected plan's fair-use policy, daily high-speed allowance and reduced-speed limits.
- Validity starts at the first connection to a network in Turkey, not at purchase.
- The eSIM is data only: it has no phone number for calls or SMS. WhatsApp, Telegram, FaceTime and other app calls work normally.
- A QR code can be installed once. Do not delete the eSIM from your phone while you still need it.
- Your phone must be carrier-unlocked and support eSIM.
Discover Turkey
Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye), officially the Republic of Türkiye (Türkiye Cumhuriyeti), is a bi-continental country: an oft-repeated cliché about Turkey is that it is the bridge between Europe and Asia. This is true not only geographically, but also culturally, and many Turks value their European and Asian identities equally. Therefore, Turkey is the ultimate "exotic — but with a twist" destination for many: plenty of travellers to the country will find a charming novelty in every corner, yet at the same time, will have a feel of comforting familiarity, regardless of which direction or how far they are arriving from. Add the Turks' legendary warmth towards the visitors to the mix, and you get the idea.

Your number stays yours, and every app keeps working
- Your SIM stays put: No swapping cards. Your home SIM keeps receiving calls, SMS and verification codes.
- Every app keeps working: WhatsApp keeps the same number and chats — it only uses the eSIM's data.
- Choose the data line: In settings, set the Turkey eSIM as your mobile-data line and turn off roaming on your home SIM.
From checkout to signal in three steps
- Explore a plan: Compare available data or unlimited plans for Turkey and pay securely online.
- Install when issued: Follow your QR or manual installation instructions over wi-fi on a compatible, unlocked phone.
- Land and connect: Switch the eSIM on when you arrive in Turkey. Data roaming must be on for the eSIM line.
Questions
Which networks does the Turkey eSIM use?
It connects to Vodafone TR.
When should I install my Turkey eSIM?
Install it before you travel while you have wi-fi. The plan only starts counting when it first connects in Turkey.
Will my phone work?
Compatibility varies by exact model and regional variant. Check your manufacturer's specifications and look for an EID by dialling *#06#. The phone must also be carrier-unlocked.
Can I keep using WhatsApp with my own number?
Yes. WhatsApp keeps your number; it simply uses the eSIM's data connection.
What if the eSIM does not work?
Message Wasla support on WhatsApp — we help in English and Dari until you are connected. If an eSIM cannot be delivered, you receive a full refund.
Is an eSIM better than buying a SIM card at Istanbul airport?
An eSIM is installed before you fly, so you are online the moment you land at Istanbul, Antalya or any other airport — no queue at a kiosk, no passport registration at a shop and no physical card to swap. Your home SIM stays in the phone for calls and bank codes.
Does the Turkey eSIM work in Istanbul, Cappadocia and Antalya?
Yes. It uses Turkey's national mobile networks, which cover the cities and main tourist regions. Coverage in remote mountain or rural areas depends on the local network signal.
How much data do I need for a week in Turkey?
For maps, messaging and social media, many travellers use about 1–2 GB per week. If you stream video, make video calls or share a hotspot, choose a larger plan or an unlimited plan where available.
Which network should I check for my Turkey eSIM?
The catalogue lists Vodafone TR. Check the selected plan’s network, validity and allowance before paying. Coverage varies by location. Travel eSIM data does not recharge an existing prepaid number.
How do I install an eSIM on iPhone?
Connect to Wi-Fi, open Settings → Mobile Service (or Cellular) → Add eSIM, then scan the QR code from your Wasla order. Turn the new line on for mobile data and data roaming when you arrive.
How do I install an eSIM on Android?
Connect to Wi-Fi, open Settings → Network & internet (or Connections) → SIMs → Add eSIM, then scan the QR code from your Wasla order. Menu names vary by phone maker.
How can I check how much eSIM data I have left?
Open the link in your confirmation email to your Wasla order page: it shows your remaining data, the amount used and the installation status, with no app needed. Your phone also shows usage: iPhone Settings → Mobile Service (or Cellular), Android Settings → Network & internet → SIMs. Network reports can lag by 1–3 hours.
Will I be warned before my data runs out?
Yes. Wasla sends you an email when the data on your plan is running low. It shows exactly how much is left and links to your order page, so you can get more before your connection stops.
