You can get your phone unlocked when you buy your sim card.

Hi All
I intended to take the mobile pre my last upgrade, get it unlocked, new SIM card and leave it in Turkey. Just a thought though - how much is it to buy a not too fancy mobile in Turkey?
Cheers
Ken

We priced up a new mobile in Turkey just over a month ago. Prices are very comparable to here for a basic phone. There was nothing much in it, some were £1-2 more expensive but some were that much cheaper. Our friend Dave priced his all singing & dancing model & that surprisingly was just £5 more than he'd just paid here - after searching here for the best deal he could get.

We ended up just putting a new sim card in the phone - the old Digiturk sim was u/s as it had been 7 months since we used it. If it goes over 6 months then it is switched off & you lose the credits & the sim so have to have a new number.

Phones used to be expensive but we don't think they are any more. Might just have been the ones we looked at but we were looking at top & bottom end & found little difference.

Hi
This is an old thread but I have a new question. Do you need to have your English sim card in the phone for the phone shop in Turkey to be able to unlock it? I am thinking of taking an older Nokia to leave out there.

I don't think so as we took an old Nokia - and I don't think we has a sim card init.

Thanks for that folk. I just wondered cos when I turn it on now it just says "insert SIM card" and there does not seem to be access to a menu.
Thanks again
Ken

I bought my turkcell sim card last july installed it in an already unlocked phone - one problem thats not been mentioned is when I switched the phone all menu's displayed were in turkish. Furtunately I was able to step thru the menus to find the language one and turn on the english language with the aid of the manual. I could not have done it without manual or a helpful cell phone shop.
