Many
of the services available in your
home country may be available while
you're roaming
in Turkey.
All three Turkish
mobile phone companies have websites with English-language
sections, but...
— The English-language
section of the Turkcell
website will tell you about
awards it has won, and will help you
invest in the company, but offers you
little help actually using your phone.
If you can't read Turkish, you're pretty
much out of luck.
— The English-language
section of the Vodaphone
website provides
useful info for using your phone
in Turkey
— The English-language
section of the Avea
website may be the most
useful of the three, but remember that
Avea operates on the 1800Mhz band,
so your phone must have this capability.
The variety and number of
mobile phone pricing plans and services from
these companies demands an intuitive,
well-designed website interface with
full translations, but none of these
websites has this.
They
have
lots
of moving, flashing colored graphics,
but no way to help you choose a pricing
plan easily (sigh...)
Remember to protect
yourself against mobile phone theft.
