Our verdict

Turk Telekom suits anyone in Turkey who wants a network's own contract tariff with sim only service and a set term. Entry starts at TRY 275 a month over 12 months, and the unlimited Yeni Nesil Prime SINIRSIZ plan sits far higher at TRY 1,700.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Sim only tariffs are offered, and the entry plan, Yeni Dijital Lider, starts at TRY 275 a month.
  • Newest generation mobile data is supported, and eSIM is available for anyone who would rather skip a physical card.
  • Billing runs contract and prepaid, so a contract customer and a prepaid customer are both covered on the same tariff range.
  • Support runs on phone and help centre, giving a phone line and a help centre behind every plan.

Cons

  • Roaming outside the home market is a paid extra, listed as paid, so a trip abroad adds cost rather than coming inside the monthly figure.
  • Support runs on phone and help centre only, so a written or chat channel is not part of the listed support.
  • The unlimited Yeni Nesil Prime SINIRSIZ plan costs TRY 1,700 a month against an entry point of TRY 275, which only makes sense for heavy monthly use.
  • Every listed plan runs over 12 months, so a short stay is tied to a full term.

Who it suits

  • Residents in TR who would rather buy the tariff from the network that runs the coverage than through a reseller.
  • Sim only users bringing their own handset, since sim only service is offered and billing runs contract and prepaid.
  • People on recent handsets who want eSIM and wifi calling on the same line.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Readers who want a rolling monthly deal, since Turk Telekom bills contract and prepaid while yesss! bills contract, rolling and prepaid, which includes a rolling option.
  • Price-first shoppers comparing the cheapest entry point, since Lonestar Cell MTN lists $0.20 against Turk Telekom's TRY 275, in a different currency.

Where it sits among rivals

On starting price Turk Telekom sits at 88 out of 258 brands in the comparison, so the entry tariff is not among the cheapest on the page. The unlimited plan lands at 123 of 173, a similar middle position on the other end of the range. The site sets 3 alternatives against it, and a ranking that far down the list on both measures means the case for this one rests on what the tariff includes rather than on the number at the front of it.

Pricing

Prices here are contract tariffs with a set term of 12 months, and billing runs contract and prepaid, so contract and prepaid customers are served from the same range. Entry sits at TRY 275 a month on the Yeni Dijital Lider plan, a small allowance that suits a second line rather than a main one. The step up runs through a larger Yeni Dijital Lider bundle to the unlimited Yeni Nesil Prime SINIRSIZ plan at TRY 1,700 a month. Each monthly figure is the tariff price across the 12 month term, so budget that number for the whole run rather than treating it as an opening month.

What it does well

Sim only service is offered, so a handset bought elsewhere keeps working on the tariff. Newest generation mobile data is supported, eSIM is available for anyone who would rather not wait for a physical card, and wifi calling is supported for calls made indoors or where the network signal is thin. Each of the three is part of the tariff itself rather than a separate extra, which keeps the decision to one monthly figure and one allowance.

Who runs it

The consumer mobile business is run by TT Mobil Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S., the entity named on the tariff pages, so the counterparty on a contract is the operating company rather than a third party. Support runs on phone and help centre, which is phone and a help centre only, so chat and email are not part of the listed support and a written record has to come through the help centre or a call. For anyone who wants written support on every query, that channel list is the point to check first.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Turk Telekom cost to start with?+

Entry pricing on the sim only range is TRY 275 a month, and the plans listed run over 12 months. A larger data bundle sits above the entry figure, and the unlimited Yeni Nesil Prime SINIRSIZ plan is priced at TRY 1,700 a month. The practical choice is how much data the line really uses each month.

Do I pay the same monthly figure once the term ends?+

The published monthly prices are the tariff prices for the whole 12 month term rather than a discounted opening month, so the figure to budget is the one shown from the start. Billing runs contract and prepaid, so prepaid top-ups and contract bills are settled differently. Readers weighing renewal terms should compare both shapes.

Is Turk Telekom a network or a reseller?+

It sells as a network rather than through a reseller, so the tariff comes from the operator that runs the mobile coverage. The consumer business behind those tariffs is TT Mobil Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S.. Anyone comparing an MVNO with the host network can use that split to work out whose coverage and support sits behind the price.

Is roaming included in the monthly price?+

Roaming abroad is treated as a paid extra, listed as paid, so travel outside the home market adds cost on top of the monthly figure. Plans run in TR only. Readers whose main use case is crossing borders should price that add-on against the base tariff before committing.

Can I use a handset I already own?+

Sim only service is offered, so a handset bought anywhere keeps working on the tariff. Newest generation mobile data is supported and eSIM is available, so a newer phone can run a digital profile instead of a plastic card. Wifi calling is supported too, which helps when calls are made indoors.

What support comes with the tariff?+

Support runs on phone and help centre, which is phone and a help centre. Chat and email are not part of the listed support, so anything needing a written trail goes through the help centre or a call. Readers who want a documented thread for every query should weigh that against providers that list written channels.

Is the unlimited plan worth the extra cost?+

The entry plan, Yeni Dijital Lider, is TRY 275 a month, while the unlimited Yeni Nesil Prime SINIRSIZ plan is TRY 1,700 a month. The step between them is wide enough that the unlimited tier only makes sense for heavy use in most months, and a mid-sized data bundle sits between the two.

How does the entry price compare with cheaper data options?+

Lonestar Cell MTN lists a starting price of $0.20, well under Turk Telekom's TRY 275, though the two are quoted in different currencies so a straight swap is not fair. On starting price Turk Telekom sits at 88 of 258 brands in the comparison.
