Have you posted that correctly? £90 of calltime on a free phone for around £40?
If so - where did you get this?

Should that have been 250 Konturs ( about 30YTL )[?]

If you buy a Sim Card in Turkey as we do all the time you need to use it.  If you are away for 6 months or more it 'dies' and you need to buy a new one.  Also, you need to use an unlocked mobile phone to use this (a bit obvious I know).  Unlocked mobiles will also not work after 6 months so you need to change phones with the Sim card every 6 months.  We have three kids so this is never a problem.  The calls are much cheaper (last Summer £20 top up lasted nearly 6 weeks and there were a lot of calls to the UK over this period as a member of family had to go to hospital).  Be careful where you buy the Top Up cards as in some of the more touristy areas the local shopkeepers have a habit of adding on a few lira on top.

Bought my Turkish mobile last year in Fethiye £40 with 1000 kontours, the shop I used is opposite the Main Mosque just after you come through the lights after the footbridge on the right.
