GSM in Turkey

Posted: 06-24-2003, 11:31 PM
I plan on traveling to Turkey from the US around September.
I will be staying in Izmir for about a little over a week.

I use nextel and have the i2000. (GSM phone)

Is there a prepaid sims card I can buy in Turkey for my phone?



Thanks for anyone's help
Brad

There are two GSM carriers in Turkey IIRC (I was there in March), and
I think prepaids are available for both.

You will waiting for activation for 2 weeks.
