Thank you, I received a text from Alper( now at Garanti) the number is 00902124440600. Unfortunately I can't get anyone to answer the English link extension. I haven't had a problem sending from UK to Turkey, it's the other way I can't manage. When I put in the UK IBAN number ,I get a message saying there needs to be at least 26 digits. Unfortunately the English IBAN only has 22digits. There doesn't seem to be a request for the BIC number. I'm a bit reluctant to send in case it ends up in someone else's account!!
