## Before you land

Turkey's phone registration rule worries many visitors. It is about phones on Turkish SIMs and long stays; the details are below.
- A phone brought from abroad and used with a Turkish operator's SIM must be IMEI-registered within 120 days of entry, or it is cut off. (source: BTK, https://www.btk.gov.tr/s3/web-btk-site/7708c26c-5161-4919-8b3d-daa31d4ac8fb/2026/03/4a580ce9-d7ea-4aae-aba3-2956b82a9eb6.pdf)
- The rule also covers 'permanent roaming': a foreign SIM used over 90 days within 120 days without calls. A normal trip on a roaming travel eSIM is in neither group, by our reading of the regulation.

- 5G service started on 1 April 2026 in every provincial centre. (source: BTK, https://www.btk.gov.tr/s3/web-btk-site/7708c26c-5161-4919-8b3d-daa31d4ac8fb/2026/06/71082aad-cfbc-47b0-9b03-8295991140a6.pdf)
- The three networks are Turkcell (39.3% of subscribers), Türk Telekom (31.8%) and Vodafone (28.8%), Q1 2026. (source: BTK, https://www.btk.gov.tr/s3/web-btk-site/7708c26c-5161-4919-8b3d-daa31d4ac8fb/2026/06/71082aad-cfbc-47b0-9b03-8295991140a6.pdf)
