Does anyone know if mobile internet is available in Turkey? Most of the mobile phone companies in the UK (e.g. Vodafone) now offer this service. It usually takes the form of a small modem stick which you plug into into a USB port on your laptop which gives instant broadband internet access.
If anyone knows if there is something similar in Turkey and has a rough idea of what it costs I would be very grateful.
Thanks.

i dont think so. i reckon it should work within the country you bought from.

I think only Vodafone might have been doing this in Türkiye, but I don´t use it, so I don´t know if they work like that or not. I hope someone who uses Vodafone help you

why dont you contact vodafone and find out directly from them? it seems like they may charge you extra for using it abroad (just like in case of phones) and not all the countries may have vodafone mobile services.

I think you are talking about mobile 3G broadband internet access, which is normally a contract on its own. You get a usb stick and it has to be activated similar to a mobile phone. The transmitters are not the same as for mobile telephone services. I have a data card (same principle at the USB stick) in the UK which I use for work, and coverage is very patchy.

Here is the coverage area for the UK - which is a little hit and miss.
Yes, best bet is to contact the reciprical mobile telephone company in Turkey to see if there is 3G mobile service available yet.

A quick search for 3G in Turkey has brought up this site, and there is more information. Looks like Turkcell are the only ones at the moment with 3G broadband access.

à did,yes,its available to use abroad like roaming,but it cost arm and leg !
à thought it would be better and cheaper if we can buy SÃM from the country we are in and use their Data SÃM
But seems Vodafone was more smarter ! grrrrrrrr
There is Vodafone in Türkiye,its a bit new there it seems,but i remember i saw it on their site once,tho i didnt understand almost anything,but it was there.
à think that´s the USB stick plan

It is different to a normal mobile telephone service, I believe. I think this lady is asking for a mobile internet service, which is obtained on a 3G transmission. In the UK, you buy a contract for the mobile internet service in addition to a mobile telephone contract (or some people have "pay as you go").
The only mobile service provider at the moment in Turkey who have a licence to provide this service is Turkcell. Unless my info is already out of date of course!
I would doubt that this service is so easily transferable as mobile phone access, where by you automatically connect to the appropriate service.

Ãsnt this what we are talking about ?
There are other companies providing them too,but for Vodafone ´the one i know about´ you can also use your own SÃM ´data SÃM´ when you travel abroad,but you pay extra money of course,something like roaming
And it cost very much,more than he fees of regular roaming of course,much more that your best choice is not to use it.
