To call another mobile phone subscriber in Turkey, dial 0 (zero), the three-digit network (area) code (which always begins with 5), and then the seven-digit number; 0 5xx xxx xxxx.

To call a landline phone (non-mobile) within Turkey, dial 0 (zero), the three-digit area code, and then the seven-digit number; 0xxx xxx xxxx.

To call an international number, dial the international prefix '+' (plus), or 00 (zero-zero), then the country code, the area/network code, and then the phone number.

To Send an SMS Message

To send an SMS message to a domestic GSM subscriber within Turkey, after writing your message, dial 0 xxx xxx xxxx.

To send SMS to an international GSM number, after writing your message, dial the international prefix '+' (plus), or 00 (zero-zero), the country code, the area/network code, and then the mobile number.

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 Turkcell website is not much help

— The Telsim website is completely useless for help with using your phone

— The Avea website is much better, but still lacking.

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.
