Using your mobile abroad

[Mr G]

Currently with the mobile provider Three and jetting off to Türkiye in 29 days for a week. Unfortunately for me my allowances with Three don't cover roaming in Türkiye and I need another plan to cover me while on holiday... any advice?

 

[Mr G]

Get a sim when your over there.

Pretty sure i have used mine in Turkey before by the way. Usually Turkcell you end up on.

Are you with Three as it's pretty expensive to call or text back home?

 

[Mr G]

I was at the time yes. Maybe its a Brexit thing because it was before that. Either way just get a local SIM when your over there.

Three allowances don't cover it now however, I think many other providers don't either from what I've searched unless you go with a Vodafone Xtra Global plan. Did think about getting a local SIM but will have a search around for an eSIM for data first.

 

[Mr G]

eSIM, easy peasy.

Holafly

Airalo

I found this yesterday and will likely settle for an eSIM with unlimited data. 7 days is all I need and Holafly appears to have great Trustpilot reviews plus I got a discount code reducing the cost to £22.

 

[Mr G]

Thinking of changing my provider soon, Three are charging me £2 a day for using my allowances where as my wife is with ID and it's all included?

 

[Mr G]

Lebara & O2 are free EU

I see Vodafone doing this now however they are might expensive too. Not long left on my contract now.
