Title: Turkcell Sim Card in Blackberry
Post by: grendawkin on April 03, 2011, 13:22:24 PM

The last time I was in Turkey you could not use Turkcell Simm Cards in unlocked UK phones, it was disabled in a short time.
Is this still the case, we are returning next month and I would like to use my unlocked Blackberry.
Thanks for any advice

sure is unless you register your card, will last approx 1 week, you will need to take your passport with you, any of the phone shops will do it but find vodafone the best out of the lot

it doesn't take long , but i think you have to go to the main turkcell shop near the police station in Fethiye.( we did) It costs 30tl for the sim card and 5tl to register it.....
