Thought I should just say - my reason for seeing this through and NOT letting go is that I have 2 of my 4 children (James 24 and Kate 23 who live with their Mum) recently out of University and in their first typically low paid jobs on the ladder - and not having a holiday this year.
So I said "go to the apartment" - they have never been to Turkey before - I can't go with them - Lemon 3 really is a little "out of the way" and I wanted to be able to speak with them each night for the first few nights to make sure they were o.k - as it is too much to try and explain everything to them.
I am not "loaded" and have to be sensible with my money and make it go as far as possible and I have noticed this is one area where you can get caught out both here and when in Turkey!
There is a number I got through JUST Dial - which charges 10p a minute (+ your local call rate - 5p up to an hour for me) so I thought I would sort this out in May as they may go in June.
The number is: 0870 570 0000 FOR MOBILES and 7p a minute to Turkish landlines on: 0870 801 8000 - for both numbers just wait for the inroduction and you then dial your Turkish number at any point.
Hope this helps some of you?
Ps It is a different number for Istanbul only - go to
