hi puma from what i understand if you switch it on ,even once. a soon as it registers with turkcell in my case .it is £1.50 for even a text message or if someone sends you a text or if somone leaves a message in the box.

and guess what in the words on the t mobile chap"turkey is one of the dearest places to phone"

so not only are the airlines hitting us.so are the phone companies.

buy a turkish sim card and put it into your phone as soon as you arrive. Take it out again on leaving etc.

It is best to have a Turkcell phone in Turkey and when phoning a UK landline number it is very cheap.

You, like us, must own an old phone sitting in a drawer at home. We took it out with us, bought a sim (which costs 11YTL to top up) and have left the phone there.
Whenever anyone uses our apartment, they can use the phone (topping it up as they require).

It's a lot, lot cheaper.

i have found that using a turkish sim on mobile ok
23ytl for 250 units only £8
when you say you on mobile its quick at most £8
cheaper than land calls

Marcus
You need a phone that has been unlocked so it will work on any network, but then you can put a turkcell card in and calls are cheap out - but its still expensive for the person phoning from the uk - unless you use one of the access dial codes - covered on other threads. If you have an old phone unlocking is pretty cheap and can be done in uk or turkey
