An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in SIM card in your smartphone that replaces your physical SIM card and is digitally activated.
Most newer smartphones and tablets are eSIM compatible. You can find all eSIM-enabled devices over here. The following requirements must also be met: Roaming must be activated on your device and there must be no SIM lock.
No, with BuddySIM, there are no roaming charges for your main contract.
The validity period and data consumption of your eSIM package only start when data roaming is activated on your device and the eSIM connects to the network. The date of the first data consumption is therefore the start of the validity period of 7 or 30 days. If you are planning a trip in the future, you can easily install your BuddySIM beforehand and only activate data roaming when you start your trip.
No, you have no contractual relationship with your BuddySIM. It is a pure prepaid eSIM whose term ends after 7 or 30 days or as soon as your data volume is used up. So you don't have to cancel anything!
The eSIM only allows you to use mobile data. It does not include a local number for receiving or making calls or messages.
Sure, with your BuddySIM eSIM, you can continue using WhatsApp with complete peace of mind. Your WhatsApp number remains the same even if you activate our eSIM. This means that all your chats and contacts are still there and you can make calls via WhatsApp.
Of course, with your BuddySIM eSIM, you can assign a hotspot for your laptop or other devices as usual. Your speed is never throttled and consumption is also not limited. You can therefore use the entire volume of booked data via the hotspot. 👍🏽
If you have already bought a BuddySIM and your data volume has been used up, you can easily do it via whatsapp recharge without installing a new eSIM. Just send us a message with the keyword “Top Up”.
No, if you use an eSIM from BuddySIM in Turkey, your smartphone will not be blocked — in contrast to using conventional SIM or eSIM cards. BuddySIM does not fall under the local IMEI lock after 120 days because it is a foreign, temporary data plan. You also don't have to register or verify yourself with an ID, as is otherwise required with local SIM cards in Turkey.
There are many good SIM card providers — but with an eSIM from BuddySIM, you get more than just data volume. Our eSIM can be installed in just a few minutes, saving you the hassle of searching for a local shop, queues at the airport and the hassle of registering with an ID. Instead, you surf immediately after landing — with full cost control, no hidden fees. Our most popular package: 10GB for 30 days. Why Because it offers maximum flexibility — enough data for maps, social media and streaming — and at the same time provides the best price/performance ratio with stable network quality. Ideal for short and long stays in Turkey.
Basically, 4G & 5G coverage in urban areas in Turkey is very good. We have had very good experience with TürkTelekom and AVEA and use precisely these networks for optimal performance in both rural and urban areas. If you are undecided, contact us at any time and we will find the best network for your trip to Turkey.
BuddySIM impresses with top support, immediate activation and stable network quality — especially for German travelers. Thanks to German instructions and simple user interface, it can be set up in just a few minutes, even without technical knowledge.
Of course, that depends on how you travel — by car, by plane, whether you prefer to travel in cities or explore rural regions. That is exactly why the BuddySIM eSIM is the ideal solution for all types of travel. Thanks to our multi-network technology, you automatically connect to the strongest available local network — whether in Istanbul, on the beach in Antalya or in more remote regions. This gives you a particularly stable connection and wide network coverage. BuddySim also offers you: transparent fixed prices without roaming traps, quick activation upon arrival and you don't need an ID or IMEI registration.
BuddySIM offers one of the best eSIM solutions for Turkey — with reliable network coverage, instant activation and transparent pricing. In addition, it is not necessary to register your smartphone in Turkey.
BuddySim offers you tailor-made eSIM plans for Turkey — regardless of whether you're just spending a long weekend at the beach, traveling across the country for several weeks or visiting your family. You can flexibly choose between 1 to 50 GB of data volume, and a duration of 7, 15 or 30 days. No subscription, no hidden costs. Our eSIMs can be installed in just a few minutes, work immediately after landing and do not require registration with an ID or the entry of a Turkish tax number.
BuddySIM's digital eSIM is particularly popular with tourists and has good ratings of 4.6-4.7. It is not a physical card, offers instant activation and the best network coverage with Türk Telekom & AVEA.
Instead of buying your SIM card at the airport in Turkey, you can easily buy your eSIM for Turkey online from BuddySIM — conveniently without local registration.
The validity period and data consumption of your eSIM package only begin when data roaming is activated on your device and the eSIM connects to the Turkey network. The date of the first data consumption is therefore the start of the validity period of 7 or 30 days. If you are planning a trip in the future, you can easily install your BuddySIM beforehand and only activate data roaming when you start your trip.
The activation process must be divided into two steps: installing the eSIM and activating the eSIM. Installing is scanning the code or manually entering the eSIM on the smartphone. Ideally, you can “install” your BuddySIM one day before departure. The eSIM is then on your device but is not yet active. Mobile data can only be activated in the destination country. You “activate” the eSIM by turning on data roaming for the eSIM and selecting it as a line for mobile data. ► Ideally install your BuddySIM one day before departure — and activate it in the destination country: the data only starts in the destination country, so you don't lose any runtime or data volume.
Your BuddySIM works with all eSIM-enabled smartphones. The full list of compatible smartphones can be found at buddysim.com/check.
If you are in the destination country, your eSIM is ready for use immediately after purchase. To do this, the eSIM must be installed and activated.
Depending on the mobile phone contract, roaming can quickly become very expensive. In Turkey, prices for some German providers are several euros per megabyte, which can result in costs of over 50€ per day even with normal use (e.g. Google Maps, Instagram or emails). Particularly dangerous: Many users only notice after the trip that their contract does not cover Turkey roaming or that they have been automatically logged into maritime or satellite networks. With BuddySIM, you avoid these cost traps: Our prepaid eSIMs offer you clear prices, full control and a stable connection in the best local network — without hidden fees, unpleasant surprises or contract commitments.
After purchasing your BuddySIM, you will receive your QR code and manual activation data directly via email to the email address you provided.
No, you have no contractual relationship with your BuddySIM for Turkey. It is a pure prepaid eSIM whose duration ends after the booked number of days or as soon as your data volume is used up. So you don't have to cancel anything!
No, unlike when using conventional SIM or eSIM cards, you don't have to register with your BuddySIM with an ID. Our eSIMs are specifically designed for travelers and avoid the IMEI registration requirement, which can take effect after 120 days for local SIM cards. You surf anonymously and securely — without bureaucracy or a Turkish tax number.
Of course, with your BuddySIM eSIM for Turkey, you can set up a hotspot for your laptop or other devices as usual. Your speed is never throttled and consumption is also not limited. You can therefore use the entire volume of booked data via the hotspot.
No, BuddySIM is a purely mobile data eSIM. But of course, you can easily make phone calls via WhatsApp, FaceTime, etc.
The Turkey eSIM only allows you to use mobile data. It does not include a Turkish phone number for receiving or making calls or messages.
If you have already bought a BuddySIM and your data volume has been used up, you can easily recharge it from any location via WhatsApp without installing a new eSIM.
