I would recommend the Avea mobile phone shop in Fetiyhe, sorry I can not direct you there though, maybe another member could.

Hi Dave

I bought a basic phone at the Vodafone shop in Fethiye in Oct, cost 65 lira, 250 credits cost 38lira, and the sim card was about 12 lira.
The credits lasted me for a week, that was phoning the uk at least once a day, and texting a couple of times a day.
hope this helps
Fran

When we came to Calis in May (leaving our teenagers at home

), I accidentally left my mobile in the car at Gatwick (no, not accidentally on purpose, honest $:-\$ $:-\$ )

We needed to contact home just to check on the kids etc and, rather than buy a new phone, I bought a phone card. It was really cheap, and each one lasted a couple of evenings (a call to the UK and one to Bulgaria where our distraught daughter was working - hence a long call every night.

)

If you only need a phone to ring home to check on loved ones, I think this is the cheapest way. It cost us about a tenner for the week.

An update - just realised Dave and Jackie that you are planning on spending long spells in Fethiye, with a view to moving there next year, so just ignore the above - definitely not the best way of ringing home long term. $:-\$ Whoops, sorry!

If your moby is 'unlocked' Does anyone know if you can buy a Turkish sim card & register that number with your UK phone? ie; just change the sim card over when you're in Turkey?

I'm not sure because I too forgot my moby once & had to buy a Turkish one $:-\$

You can do this, but you will need to have your UK phone registered to whatever provider you buy your sim from.http://
