Prices by provider
Each cell is the closest verified plan to that size: price in US dollars, days of validity, price per GB. A date in brackets means that cell was last read earlier than 11 Oct. Current displayed sale prices are used; crossed-out regular prices and all additional observed sizes and durations are in the CSV and JSON downloads. "Not verified" means we could not read a price from the provider's own page; we do not guess.

Provider notes and sources
- Simbye (source page). USD list prices re-read on Simbye's own Turkey page on 18 Oct 2026 (Exa page fetch with USD selected, after curl returned HTTP 429): 1 GB / 7 days $1.99, 3 GB / 30 days $3.99, 5 GB / 30 days $5.99, 10 GB / 30 days $11.99, 20 GB / 30 days $18.99, 50 GB / 180 days $39.99, unlimited 30 days $49.99. All unchanged from 11 Oct. NOMADISTAN15 prices retain the previously observed checkout rounding; discount redemption was not repeated.
- Nomad (source page). 10 GB ($13, on sale from $15), 20 GB ($20) and 50 GB ($31) read from Nomad's Turkey page USD data on 18 Oct 2026. 1 GB and 5 GB keep the 7 Oct reading. No unlimited plan found.
- Saily (source page). 10 GB ($15.99) and 20 GB ($22.99) re-read on Saily's own Turkey page on 18 Oct 2026, unchanged. 5 GB and the 15-day unlimited plan keep their 22 and 24 Sep readings.
- Airalo (source page). Provider page read on 18 Oct 2026 in USD (curl with currency=USD). Fixed 20 GB / 30 days is $22.50; unlimited 7 days $24.50 and 30 days $69. Other fixed sizes and durations also appear; table keeps the existing selected tiers.

The catalog loads but its table stays empty; individual product pages expose prices. The 5 GB product URL returned 404, so the 5 GB column uses the verified 3 GB plan. Ubigi says its app and website are inaccessible from Turkey and this plan cannot be used by Turkey residents while in Turkey. Unlimited is subject to a fair-use policy.

All displayed fixed plans and unlimited durations (1–30 days) are in verifiedPlans. No conversion from EUR. Yesim warns that local regulations may limit its app and website in Turkey; buy and install before travel.

All displayed fixed and unlimited plans are in verifiedPlans; crossed-out prices are recorded separately. Unlimited provides the first 3 GB per 24 hours at standard speeds, then up to 1 Mbps.

Method
- Where prices come from. Each provider's own Turkey page. Prices marked with a date were read on that date; the table shows the date for any cell not read on 11 October 2026. Turkish operator prices are in-store or campaign-page quotes converted from lira at about 48.8 TRY per US dollar.
- Closest plan. Providers do not sell the same sizes. Each cell shows the plan closest to 1, 5, 10 or 20 GB and states its real size and days. Unlimited plans are shown at 30 days where one exists; Saily's is 15 days.
- Price per GB. Price divided by the plan's gigabytes. Unlimited plans have no per-GB figure. The headline median uses each provider's lowest per-GB paid fixed-data plan at its displayed price, including sale prices and additional observed sizes in the downloads, so it flatters providers that sell large plans. Free trials are excluded. Simbye's code price is separate from the median.
- Website from Turkey. We requested each homepage and Turkey page from one Türk Telekom fixed line in Istanbul, 10 Sep 2026, with a 25-second timeout. "Timed out" is not proof of a regulatory block, and "loads" does not prove that checkout, payment or activation works. Full detail in the best eSIM guide and our website access data.
- Verification coverage. All 13 listed providers now have at least one price reading; 11 have paid fixed-data prices for the headline median. On 11 Oct we re-read Simbye, Airalo, Holafly, Ubigi, Yesim, Jetpac and GigSky from Germany, using fresh headless Chromium profiles where needed. GigSky now shows 15% savings. On 12 Oct we re-read Maya (global unlimited prices unchanged) and Türk Telekom's Tourist SIM page, which now shows 420 TRY for 25 GB over 28 days; its USD figure is an estimate at a stated approximate exchange rate. Nomad's page shows EUR, not USD, so its USD prices keep their earlier readings. Saily returned HTTP 403 to automated requests and keeps its September readings. Vodafone's tourist page gives no price for its 20 GB pack, so its in-store quote stays historical. Discount redemption was not repeated; Simbye code prices retain the previously observed checkout rounding. A missing size means no verified price for that size, not proof that the provider does not sell it.
- Not tested. Whether each eSIM lets blocked apps work without a VPN. See eSIM after the BTK block for what we know.
- Affiliate disclosure. We earn a commission on Simbye through our link. The numbers in the table are not affected: prices come from the providers' pages and every provider is listed.
