Mobile data in Turkey, installed before you fly

If your phone shows an EID when you dial *#06#, and it isn't locked to one network, it will work.

Before you leave, on Wi-Fi. Your plan starts when you first connect in Turkey. Remember that an installed eSIM can't be refunded.

When your phone first connects to a network in Turkey. The days count from then.

Yes. Your usual SIM stays on for calls and texts. Your home network may charge for those while you're abroad, so turn off data on your usual SIM.

You can use as much data as you like. Fair use: full speed up to 3 GB a day, then 1 Mbps for the rest of the day.

Add a top-up from your account. It goes onto the same eSIM, so you don't install anything new.

Yes, in two cases. You get a full refund within 14 days if you haven't installed the eSIM. If it doesn't work because of a fault on our side that we can't fix, we refund or replace it.

Check that data roaming is on for the eSIM. If it still doesn't connect, email support@peregrinapp.com with your order number.

Our Turkey plans run on two networks, depending on the plan. Vodafone carries these plans: 500 MB for 7 days, 1 GB for 7 days, 3 GB for 15 days, 3 GB for 30 days and 50 GB for 180 days. All other Turkey plans run on Turk Telekom (Avea), with 5G where available. If you have no signal, check that data roaming is on for the Peregrin eSIM and that it is selected for mobile data; switching flight mode on and off helps. Still nothing? Write to support@peregrinapp.com with your order number and we'll help. If the eSIM gets no service at all because of a fault on our side that we can't fix, you get a full refund or a free replacement.

Yes. peregrinapp.com works from Turkey, and so does the Peregrin app. To add data, sign in to your account on the website or in the app with your email address, no password needed, and choose a top-up if your plan offers one. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is nothing new to install.
