Hiya

I havent posted on here for a while i was in turkey a week ago for 2 weeks, had a really fab time and hated coming home as usual. I still not over the fact that i am home!! Anyway can someone please let me know where in dalaman airport you have to go if your taking a phone over to use in turkey. I know you have to get it registered, and someone told me that when they went to bodrum airport they were told they had to go to a shop in bodrum resort! I dont know if this is right with dalaman and icmeler because the person who im taking it out for said i have to get the paperwork from the airport???? Can someone please help me with this

Much appreciated

I know it says you should register mobile phones but I never have and never had any issues, I think you may need to register it if you want to buy a Turkish sim card.

i never registered either ..didnt know might have to!

You dont need to register it to use an english sim in it, but im taking the phone over for a turkish friend so they will have a turkish sim to put in it! I know you have to register them to use a turkish sim in it otherwise the signals to the phone get locked out!

You can no longer register mobile phones at Dalaman airport. They have to be taken to either a Turkcell Extra/Telsim Extra shop which you can ony find in Mugla and you need a receipt with your name on it. Without these you cannot use UK mobile phones in Turkey.

Thanx for that taz, hope your ok not spoken in a long time?

Do you mean i need a reciept of buying the phone, that has my name on it or a reciept off the shop in Mugla with the persons name, whos using the phone?

Sorry to be annoying

Just to clarify, I have an English mobile, will I not be able to use it in Icmeler, either to phone home or to phone a Turkish mobile there?

Thanks

[daviemc]

yes you can use it if your using a UK network sim, its only if you have a Turkish sim the phone has to get registered

[Black and White Stripes]

Ah, thank you Davie, that's a relief!

[Icmeler*wonderbabe]

ok so if i take the reciept with my name on it over with the phone will i need to be with the person im giving it to when he registers it? this is really confusing and more hassle than i first thought
