I know that wifi and broadband are readily available in S/W Turkey, but what about 3G high speed internet and data services? More specifically a USB/PCMCIA 3G data card for roaming Internet access? Has anyone from the UK taken their lap top 3G card from O2, Vodafone, Orange or T-Mobile to S/W Turkey and received good coverage?

Ron, I am referring to a UK monthly subscription. For example, T-Mobile currently offer a web 'n walk package for £20 a month

I happen to think is excellent value. So are you saying that this, and similar packages from the other carriers does indeed work in S/W Turkey?

yes they work fine but check your airtime supplier, as the prices in the UK are not as cheap in Turkey, I had my 3g gprs modem out with me in september, it cast me a bomb ( Turkey is not in Europe ) when it comes down to price plans

On T-Mobile turkey is in Zone 5 you will find your price plan doesnt cover it it will be at least double as a guess
