How does the GleeSim Turkey eSIM work?

The GleeSim Turkey eSIM is a 100% digital SIM card that connects you to local mobile data networks without a physical card. Your QR code is sent to WhatsApp and email instantly after purchase, and scanning it installs a secondary data line giving you instant high-speed internet on arrival.

Can I keep my original WhatsApp number while traveling in Turkey?

Yes. The GleeSim Turkey eSIM is a data-only profile, so your original SIM stays active in the background and your WhatsApp number, chats, and contacts remain exactly as they are.

Are there any rules on traveling with an eSIM in Turkey?

Yes. Turkey requires foreign eSIM profiles to be installed before entering the country. GleeSim lets you scan and install your QR code from anywhere before you fly, then simply toggle on Data Roaming after landing.

Can I use WhatsApp calling and VoIP apps in Turkey?

Yes, GleeSim's travel data lines are optimized for international roaming, so WhatsApp voice and video calls, FaceTime, iMessage, and Telegram all work smoothly.

When is the best time to install my Turkey travel eSIM?

Install it the day before you leave or at your departure airport over Wi-Fi. The validity countdown only starts once the eSIM connects to a Turkish network on arrival, not when you scan the QR code.

Which cellular networks does GleeSim use in Turkey?

GleeSim partners with Turkcell, Vodafone Turkey, and Turk Telekom, automatically connecting to whichever has the strongest signal in your location.

Do I need to download an app to check my data balance?

No. GleeSim is completely app-free — balance checks and top-ups are handled entirely inside WhatsApp.

Will this eSIM work in all regions of Turkey?

Yes, coverage spans Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ankara, Izmir, Bodrum, Antalya, and the central Mediterranean coast.

Does this plan include a local Turkish phone number?

No, GleeSim Turkey plans are data-only and do not include a local +90 number for calls or SMS. Use WhatsApp or another internet-calling app instead.

What happens if I run out of data during my Turkish vacation?

Message GleeSim's WhatsApp support bot, choose a data add-on, and your active eSIM profile tops up instantly without a new QR code.
