Travelling from Ireland? Turkey is outside EU roaming. Irish operators charge daily passes or per-megabyte rates here, which is where bill shock happens. See the comparison.

Turkey eSIM FAQ
Which network does the Turkey eSIM use?
It connects to Turkcell and Vodafone, with automatic fallback to Türk Telekom where available. Expect 4G LTE wherever the network provides it.
When does the 7-day or 30-day validity start?
Only when the eSIM first connects to a network in Turkey. You can install it days or weeks in advance.
Can I use the hotspot in Turkey?
Yes. Tethering to a laptop, tablet or a travel companion's phone is allowed on every plan.
Can I make calls or send texts?
Plans are data-only. Use WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal for calls. Your Irish number keeps receiving calls and texts on your physical SIM.
Can I top up if I run out?
Yes. Top-ups are available from the order portal while your plan is active, and apply without reinstalling anything.
