Turkish law requires all mobile phones that operate through a Turkish SIM card to be
registered.
If you switch to a Turkish SIM card after your arrival and fail to register, your
mobile phone will be blocked. You can register your phone at customs desk in the
airport.
It is around 10- 15 TL. In case you forget to do so, you can both buy a Turkish SIM Card and make your
registration by visiting the stores of Turkish GSM operators (Turkcell, Vodafone, Avea). You
only need to present your passport in order to register.
If you want to use Turkish Sim Card, We strictly advice that you should register your phone when you arrive Turkey in airport.
