Calls between two travelers in Turkey using HolidayPhone

The rate for calls between two travelers using HolidayPhone equals that of local calls as stated above (i.e. around $0.05/minute).

As a comparison, it could cost you up to $8/minute to make calls between two US cellphones if you don't use HolidayPhone in Turkey. The international roaming charges at both ends mean that the caller and receiver both end up paying astronomical charges for the call. It only takes a couple of minutes to regain the cost of your HolidayPhone kits if you're both using HolidayPhone, paying just $0.05/minute!

If you are traveling in a party, we recommend that you order HolidayPhone for all travelers, so that you can make cheap calls between each other on your trip. To achieve this, just dial the local Turkish mobile phone number provided with the SIM.

Call balance and topping up

Our SIM cards is delivered pre-topped up with 4 TL call balance. We recommend that you buy some additional top up credit with your HolidayPhone order.

If you need additional top up while in Turkey, you can buy top-up vouchers in kiosks and supermarkets across Turkey.

SIM Card validity

The SIM card is valid for 30 days after the most recent top up.

If you plan to stay in Turkey for a longer period, it may be required after about 15 days that the phone is registered for continued usage in Turkey. This procedure takes only about 5 minutes and can be done in any Turkcell service center store.
