After paying through the nose for making and receiving voice calls and texts to/from Turkey I wondered if it was worth investing in a Turkish mobile. Any views? If a good idea, how do I go about it?

You can take your english mobile over and just change the sim card ( provided the phone is open to all networks )This subject has had a great deal of coverage in the past do a search and i am sure you will find the information you are looking for.

Pop into a mobile phone shop, Turkcell or any other,there's a few on the oneway system,choose a cheap one ,buy a sim card & after about 24 hours you can use it.You will need to take your passport along.Ask them in the shop to change the language into english- it helps!Also ask them to top it up & watch them the first time.

You are lucky then Ron. If it's not registered it will be locked eventually.

I have used a British mobile 'phone on holiday in Calis.I found that it was expensive to make a call to UK and that the recipient had to pay too.I use the public telephone kiosks,but take my (handy),with me in case of an emergency re elderly relatives.Much cheaper buying a telephone card there.

Yes, the turkish government are still blocking english phones this year and faster than they were last year, better to buy a cheap turkish one,
