I thought that after not using the phone for 90 days, you lost your number ? it seems that this is not the case from what you say?

I have a "My Cep" (think that's how it's spelt) sim and I've gone nearly 6 months and it still reactivated with a top up. Guess it just as case what policy certain companies have. Worth checking out though!

I've got the same one as Russ- Aria. It was unused from October last year until May this year and I thought we'd be snookered but it was fine. It costs 11ytl for a top up of 100 credits and each text to a UK phone uses 3 credits. It lasts us ages.

Glennat, you do not need your passport to make a phone call but you do need it when you buy a SIM card as you do for just about anything else in Turkey. It is probalbly part of the Turkish esy of keeping tracks on foreigners in their country.

phil if your excess credits are a problem you can always transfer them to me!!

Must disagree. Unless the rules have changed. I did NOT need my passport to obtain my Simcard. See the earlier post.

Tribalelder, I must disagree with you as I was required to have my passport before buying a SIM card. You must have been very lucky!.

Thanks Anne, I glad it wasn't just us; we got ours in the Turkcell shop along from the PTT in Fethiye almost opposite the new Mosque.

Do you have to have your phone un=blocked to accept one of these Turkish sim cards?
