Go into 1 of the turkcell shops or big supermarkets and buy a cheap moby with a pay as you go sim.
Phone will probably be about £30 and sim about £10. just top up as you need it. If you dont top up for 6 mths then it gets cut off (normally).

if your mobiles unlocked you can register it and pop a local SIM in.
Turkcell shops will need your passport to do this, the SIM is 29TL.

Ditto re turkcell, I also registered an old uk mobile about 5 years ago, it got blocked within a week for some reason hence buying a cheapo over there. You will need your passport to purchase however.
