Turkey straddles Europe and Asia with excellent mobile coverage from Turkcell, Vodafone Turkey, and Türk Telekom — Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, and the Mediterranean coast have strong 4G/LTE and growing 5G. Physical SIM purchase requires passport registration and can take an hour at the airport; a Turkey eSIM skips the entire process. Activate before you fly and your phone is online the moment you land at Istanbul (IST), Antalya, or Dalaman — ready for Uber, Google Translate, and the winding alleys of Sultanahmet.
Best time to visit: April–May and September–October

What travelers say
“Used it in Japan for 2 weeks. Setup took literally 1 minute. Flawless 4G the entire trip.”
“Way cheaper than my carrier's roaming pass. Paid $12 for my whole Europe trip. Speeds were top tier.”
“Scanned the QR code at the airport, connected before I even got through customs. Magic.”
