Turkey's networks are Turkcell, Vodafone Türkiye and Türk Telekom. Coverage is good in Istanbul, Ankara and the coastal resorts; the far east and mountain routes are patchier.
Turkey is not in the EU, so EU roaming rules don't apply — EU visitors usually pay roaming rates here, which makes a travel eSIM worth comparing for everyone.

Install before you arrive
Holafly notes that access to some international eSIM websites and apps may be restricted once you're in Turkey, and recommends installing before travel. Buy and install at home.

Foreign phones: the 120-day registration rule
Phones used on Turkish networks for more than about 120 days must be registered and a fee paid, or they are blocked. Short visits are well inside this window. The rule applies to the phone, so it matters for long stays rather than a holiday.

EU roaming does not apply
Turkey is outside the EU and EEA, so EU phone plans don't include it under roam-like-at-home rules.
