⚠️ Please purchase and install before you travel. Turkish regulations currently restrict eSIM provider websites and apps — including ours — from being reached on Türkiye's own networks. Buy and install your eSIM while you're still outside the country; it will connect automatically once you land, and you won't need to reach this page again during your trip.
📦 Total Data Plans — pay once, use it your way
Our Türkiye Total Data plans range from a quick 1GB for a short trip up to 50GB for a full 180 days stay, so whether you're in Türkiye for a long weekend or an extended visit, there's a bucket size that fits your trip without paying for data you'll never touch.
♾️ Daily Unlimited Plans — never run dry mid-trip
For travelers who use their phone constantly, Daily Unlimited gives you 2GB to 10GB of fresh high-speed data every single day — no running totals, no anxiety about what's left.
💡 Tip: Data tends to disappear faster while traveling than it does at home — your phone is constantly searching for and switching between local networks, which uses extra data in the background. First time trying an eSIM? Start with a small plan to test everything works, then grab a bigger one once you're connected and confident.
🤔 Total Data vs. Daily Unlimited — which one should I pick?
📦 Total Data gives you a fixed amount of high-speed data that lasts for the whole validity period. Once it's used up, it's used up — great if you know roughly how much data your trip needs and want the lowest price.
♾️ Daily Unlimited gives you a fresh high-speed data allowance every single day. If you go over that day's allowance, your connection doesn't stop — it simply slows down to 1 Mbps (still fine for maps, messaging, and basic browsing) until midnight, then resets to full speed again the next day. You choose how many days you need at checkout, and you're never caught with zero data mid-trip.
✅ Pick Total Data if:
You mostly use maps, messaging & light browsing, and want the cheapest option.
✅ Pick Daily Unlimited if:
You stream, video call often, or just don't want to track your usage during the trip.
How to Activate Your Türkiye eSIM — 3 Simple Steps
- Check Compatibility: Ensure your device is carrier-unlocked and eSIM-supported.

- Enable Data Roaming: Set MAXESIMO eSIM as your data line and turn on "Data Roaming". You're connected!
🔒 Your Security, Our Priority
Public Wi-Fi at airports, cafes, or hotels can expose your data. MAXESIMO eSIM keeps your connection encrypted and private 24/7.
⚠️ Important: Your device must be carrier-unlocked to use this eSIM.
⚠️ Important: Complete all 3 steps above before you leave for Türkiye. Turkish regulations currently restrict eSIM provider websites and apps from being reached on Türkiye's own networks, so purchasing or installing a new eSIM after you've already entered the country may not work. Once installed beforehand, your eSIM connects normally the moment you land — no further access to this site is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions — Türkiye eSIM
What is a Türkiye eSIM?
It's a digital SIM that gives you mobile data in Türkiye on arrival, without needing a physical SIM card from a local carrier.
How do I get internet in Türkiye as a tourist?
The easiest way is an eSIM like this one: install it before you travel, and you'll have data the moment you land in Türkiye — no local SIM shop, no unreliable airport Wi-Fi.
Do I need to keep my regular SIM in the phone?
Yes — this is a data-only plan. Keep your home SIM active for calls/SMS, and use the Maxesimo eSIM as a secondary line for data while traveling.
When does the plan validity start?
The validity period starts when your eSIM first connects to a supported network in Türkiye — not from the moment of purchase. You can install it as soon as you buy it and activate whenever you're ready.
Do I need to install my eSIM before I arrive in Türkiye?
Yes. Turkish regulations currently restrict eSIM provider websites and apps — including ours — from being reached on Türkiye's own networks. Purchase and install your eSIM while you're still outside the country; it will connect automatically the moment you land, and you won't need to access this site again during your trip.
Can I top up if I run out of data?
If you haven't left for Türkiye yet, simply purchase another Maxesimo eSIM before you travel to keep your connection going for the rest of your trip. If you're already in Türkiye and run out, our site may not be reachable from Türkiye's networks due to the regulation mentioned above — a physical top-up from a local carrier is the most reliable backup in that case. To avoid this altogether, we recommend choosing a slightly larger plan than you think you'll need before you travel.
I see two plan types above — what's the real difference?
A Total Data plan gives you one pool of gigabytes to spend across your whole trip. A Daily Unlimited plan instead refills your allowance every single day, so a heavy-data day never leaves you short — go over your daily cap and you're throttled to 1 Mbps (not cut off) until it resets at midnight.
How much does my speed actually drop on a Daily Unlimited plan?
Once you pass your day's high-speed allowance, your connection is throttled to 1 Mbps until midnight, when it resets. We list this exact number rather than just saying "slower" so you know precisely what to expect — no surprises.
What can I actually do at 1 Mbps?
1 Mbps comfortably handles Google Maps, WhatsApp, Instagram/X browsing, email, and most websites — it just won't be smooth for HD video streaming or large downloads. For most travellers it's more than enough to get through the rest of the day until your allowance resets.
Which one should I pick for my trip to Türkiye?
If you're mostly checking maps and messaging between sightseeing stops, a Total Data plan is the cheaper option. If you're streaming, on frequent video calls, or hotspotting for a group, Daily Unlimited means you can stop counting gigabytes altogether.
