Brits travelling to Turkey warned amid 'sudden' eSims ban
It means that tourists will be prevented from accessing the websites and apps of the affected companies. Brits will now need to purchase local sim cards or incur extortionate roaming fees to use their mobile data, unless they make this important change at the airport. Travel expert at international eSim provider Holafly, Juan David Soler, shared his advice. Mr Soler said: 'Turkey's sudden ban on eSIMs has caught many travellers off guard, and it's vital that UK holidaymakers heading there this summer take action before they fly. 'eSIMs have become the go-to option for Brits wanting affordable mobile data abroad without the hassle of physical SIMs or costly roaming. 'But now, travellers will no longer be able to activate a new eSIM once they arrive in Turkey. UK Passport Renewal Guide "To avoid getting caught out, UK travellers should ensure their eSIM is fully downloaded and activated before leaving the UK. This means setting up your digital SIM while still on UK networks, and confirming it's working properly before departure. 'Otherwise, you could be left without internet access the moment you land, which can be a serious issue if you rely on your phone for maps, transport, or bookings." Is it worth getting an eSIM for Turkey? eSIMs are more secure than a physical SIM because it can't be removed if your phone is lost or stolen. Travellers to Turkey are not affected so long as they purchase and install the eSIM before arrival. The eSIM ban is primarily targeted at Turkish residents buying eSIMs for international travel in Turkey. However, Holafly advises that there are several steps to consider if you plan on using an international eSIM in Turkey: Buy your eSIM before departure: Your chosen eSIM's online store will not work once you land. Recommended Reading: Install your eSIM before arrival: Use your QR or manual installation code to set up your eSIM before you travel. You can delay activation by keeping data roaming 'off' until you land. Save your QR code or eSIM installation code locally: This way, you can install your eSIM in Turkey without needing the provider's website or app. Download a secure VPN: Without a VPN, you will not be able to manage your eSIM solution digitally, check for remaining data usage, or contact customer service. It is important to note that the situation is changing, and the eSIM ban in Turkey may affect different users' connections in different ways.
