Connecting roaming for traveling abroad on Beeline

Date: 02/27/2020 15:00 Tags: Turkey, Internet, prices It’s hard to imagine life without the Internet now, because it means communication with loved ones, work, and entertainment. But each country has its own connection and pricing features, so before traveling to Turkey, decide exactly how much traffic you will need. This will make it easier to understand what is more profitable: roaming, local Turkish operators, or Wi-Fi will be enough.

By the way, free wi-fi

found in almost all cafes in Turkey, shopping centers and sometimes even on buses. And almost all hotels declare it, but the quality leaves much to be desired (because the Turks often skimp on the number of access points, and the existing ones simply cannot provide everyone with powerful traffic). And, from experience, even separately paid Internet in the rooms does not guarantee high speed. Mobile Internet is faster in many cases. And you can take it to the sea and to the mountains.

Rules for using mobile communications for tourists

10 nuances and questions about mobile communications in Turkey that you need to know about before purchasing a SIM card:

• Mobile operators.
  There are three main mobile operators in Turkey: TurkTelekom, TurkCell, Vodafone and several small (virtual) operators.
• Limitation on the validity period of the SIM card.
  It is important to know! The SIM card will be active for up to 90 days. This is due to the fact that tourists can legally stay in Turkey for a maximum of 90 days, after which you must either leave the country or receive a residence permit.
• Documents for obtaining a telephone number.
  To purchase you will need a passport
• Payment for communication services.
  The easiest way for tourists to pay for communications is through operator branches in stores and shopping centers.
  I advise you to purchase a package tariff plan
  , because in this case the Internet and phone calls will be much cheaper.
• Internet.
  Mobile Internet in Turkey often works much better than landline Internet. You will need it to navigate around the country, to view what fines you have, to book hotels, etc.

Important to remember! Any SIM card purchased for a foreign passport will be active for up to 90 days and a phone number will be included with it; after this period, you can simply throw it away.

As you can see, buying a SIM card is not difficult, but that’s not all, let’s continue...

• What to do when visiting the country again.
  Since the cards only work for 90 days, be prepared for the fact that when you visit the country again, you will have to buy a SIM card again, and this is a fact; if more time has passed, it will be deactivated. For this reason, you should not leave your phone number to everyone, because it is temporary. And purchasing a new card is an additional expense, approximately 100 liras or 1050 rubles.
• Blocking a cell phone during a long stay in the country.
  Keep in mind that phones purchased outside of Turkey will simply stop working after 120 days if you do not pay the tax on the imported phone. Here we are not talking about a telephone number, but about a device. This is due to the fact that initially mobile phones in Turkey are a little more expensive.

Keep in mind that from January 1, 2021, the tax on an imported phone is 1838 Turkish lira, which is approximately equal to 19115.2 rubles or $315. For a dual-SIM device, the tax is more expensive.

To register your imported phone, you will need to obtain a tax number in Turkey.

• The process of choosing a tariff and the difficulties of communicating with sellers.
  Be prepared for the fact that at points of sale, not all employees are well versed in their own tariff plans; in addition, not all of them speak Russian or even English.
  As you understand, mobile communications are quite specific and have many technical aspects that are quite difficult to figure out without knowing the language. Another life hack is related to the purchase of the SIM card itself, if it suddenly happens that the seller speaks only Turkish and he does not understand other languages, then just tell him yeni sim-card (new SIM card) and it will be in your pocket!
• Mobile phone theft.
  In Turkey, it is not customary to steal mobile phones; theft in general is quite rare. What to do if your mobile phone is stolen? It's simple: you need to immediately contact the police, because the likelihood that your phone will be found is quite high.
• Is there an alternative to the major telecom operators?
  Yes, I have. In this article I will tell you about another little-known BIM operator (SIM cards of which can be easily purchased at any BIM network store)
• Do not buy a SIM card at the airport , as you know, everything costs more there than in the city!
• Eliminate minutes and SMS from your data plan to save money. Almost every telecom operator has a tariff plan in which you can increase, for example, Gigabytes, which is more important for a tourist and at the same time there is no extra charge, i.e. no minutes, no SMS. Try to explain when purchasing a card and perhaps you will be connected to a more favorable tariff at the moment!

How to call Russia cheaply

Calls to Russia can be made free of charge. If you use a SIM card from the Megafon operator, you can use the eMotion application.

To use the applications, you will need internet. All calls will be made from your existing number.

In addition, there are other ways to call. If you are calling from a landline, you will need to dial:

A mobile phone call proceeds as follows:

If the conversation is over and a minute has not passed, then it is rounded up. This means that if the connection is disconnected at 2 minutes and 25 seconds, then it is considered that the subscriber talked for 3 minutes, and accordingly, an amount equal to 3 * 69 = 207 rubles will be charged.

Where to buy a SIM card?

You need to contact a mobile phone store, or find a seller in a shopping center in Istanbul, another large city. It is not recommended to buy a cheap SIM card secondhand or at suspicious points of sale at the airport: the product being sold will most likely be of poor quality.

Turkcell office

Turkey has introduced the CEIR system, which involves registering a phone with a Turkish operator card. The procedure is carried out in the communication salon where the SIM card was purchased, it costs about 10 liras. If there is no registration within a month of being in the country, the phone is blocked and becomes inaccessible to the network.

Which option is better for a tourist?

Before choosing a Turkish SIM card, you should think about what you need to purchase. Using the services of Turkish mobile operators is beneficial only if you stay in a foreign country for a long time. There is no particular price advantage for communications and the Internet over Russian roaming. When you come to relax for a week or two, you shouldn’t bother with getting a SIM card, because the procedure will take a lot of time.

If you still need to buy a SIM card, then of the three Turkish providers Vodafone is preferable. It offers optimal conditions for calls on local and international lines, and favorable Internet in Turkey.

The second most profitable provider is Avea. Recommended for subscribers who constantly use the Internet. Tariffing for internal calls is carried out according to the principle: the more money in the account, the less the call costs. But international calls are expensive (up to 50 liras per minute call).

Turkcell is the least profitable. To make a call, you will have to shell out a decent amount of money. Telephone calls and SMS are more expensive than with Russian roaming.

The tourist decides which mobile connection to use while vacationing in Turkey, focusing on personal needs and financial capabilities. Some vacationers value conversations and SMS messages, while others value Internet access. Turkish providers set prices for their services that are not much different from Russian roaming. Therefore, when coming for a short vacation, it is better to use roaming than to apply for a Turkish SIM.

FAQ

1. How much internet do you need on holiday in Turkey?

It all depends on your needs. If you only need the Internet for chatting on Viber or WhatsApp, not very actively scrolling through Instagram and navigating around the city, then 300-400 MB per day should be enough. If you like to watch Youtube or something similar, you may need more than 1 GB per day.

Based on this, you need to understand whether you have access to Wi-Fi at the hotel or beach where you are relaxing. For example, Istanbul has deployed a free Wi-Fi network throughout the city. In Antalya, it is also available on city beaches and in public places. From this understanding, you can already adjust your needs and choose the appropriate mobile Internet tariff.

2. The Internet has run out, what should I do?

You can go to a communication store and ask to connect a new package. Or connect it yourself in the mobile application.

3. How long does a Turkish SIM card remain active?

If you don’t replenish your balance, then about 6 months.

4. How to make cheap calls from Turkey to Russia to Russian numbers?

This can be done for free, even within your tariff. If you have a Megaphone, use eMotion. If you have MTS - MTS Connect (in the reviews they write that it can be buggy).

To use you will need an internet connection. In this case, calls will come from your real number.

5. How can you avoid losing money in international roaming with a Russian SIM card?

To do this you need:

• Enable a ban on international roaming in the mobile application, personal account on the website or in the office of the mobile operator (for each SIM card).
• Turn off mobile data.

However, there are still cases when some write-offs occur. Check in the app!
