Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Jan has upgraded her mobile and she has a Sony Ericsson K800i which she would like to take and give to someone out there
As they have out of date mobiles
The phone is not a cheapy its still top of the range
My question is
Would she be out of order asking for Turkish sim with a decent amount on it so she can phone home

Thanks

Sorry Womble I have lost you here.

Can you explain it please

i think! womble means exchanging mobile for turkish sim

Why not just buy a phonecard, we bought a 10 Lira one and we rang home many times and still didnt use it all.

If you take a UK registered mobile to Turkey, and give it to a localand they put in a Turkish sim card. The phone will get blocked after a few weeks and as it was not declared on arrival at customes, then the person will have to have it opened, this can cost a few lira up to 80ytl.

A couple of years ago, this happened to my UK mobile after 5 weeks using a local sim card. I was living in Turkey at the time.

The easiest way, if you want to give a present of a mobile is to buy one in Turkey.

hi we just buy a phonecard think its £10 its great phoned everyone loads of times lynn
