Travel eSIM
eSIM for Turkey
Turkey is often two trips in one — Istanbul, then Cappadocia or the Aegean coast — with domestic flights and long transfers in between. Local SIM registration rules can be a hassle for short visits, which makes an eSIM the easier path. Buy before you fly and you're online for the transfer from the airport.

How eSIM works in Turkey
Turkey supports eSIM, and travel plans typically connect through Turkcell, Vodafone Türkiye, or Türk Telekom.
Buy the plan, scan the QR code the partner emails you, and install the profile while you're still on Wi-Fi. Switch the line on when you land.
How much data do you need?
Maps, translation, and messaging carry most trips; a mid-size bundle suits a one- to two-week visit.
Going abroad from the US?
Every S Mobile unlimited phone plan already includes world eSIM data and free calling and texting to 85+ countries — so your everyday plan travels with you before you even add a destination eSIM.
FAQs — travel eSIM in Turkey
Will my phone work with an eSIM in Turkey?
Most recent iPhone, Google Pixel, and Samsung Galaxy models support eSIM, but your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Check your phone's settings for an "Add eSIM" or "Add cellular plan" option before you buy, and confirm device compatibility with the partner at checkout.
How do I set up a travel eSIM before flying in Turkey?
Buy from the partner store, then install the eSIM profile while you still have Wi-Fi at home. It stays dormant until you arrive and switch it on, so you land connected without hunting for a SIM counter.

Can I keep my US number while using a travel eSIM in Turkey?
Yes. A travel eSIM adds a data line alongside your existing line, so your US number stays active for calls and texts over Wi-Fi or your regular plan while data runs on the travel eSIM.
Does S Mobile Wireless run the network in Turkey?
No. Travel eSIM data abroad runs on partner networks, not on our US network. Plans are sold and supported by our partner and billed separately from any S Mobile account.
