You should be able to get it unlocked and then put any sim card in no need to register it

If you are using it in Turkey you will need to have it unlocked and registered to whatever provider you are using, it should then work fine.

Thanks everyone for your help.  Where do I take it to get it unlocked? any phone shop?  I presume once the new phone is unlocked and registered I can put my sim card in?
