Hi guys just another question about mobiles against pay phones.

To use a Turkish sim card you will need an unlocked phone then you will need to register it at phone shop then buy credit.If you are not using mobile much just get a phonecard & use payphone.

Another option is to use the free phones in some cafes.I know Cafe Pazar and I think Cafe Inn  both near the Sunday market have this facility. Just buy a drink of some sort and the call is free.

If you have an iTouch use Truphone - cost is really low. SIM4 travel also really good - replace your existing phone sim with one of these

..Or a wifi phone with the Skype app downloaded and ready to use - much less bulky than a laptop ;)
