How to verify and manage a Turkcell or Türk Telekom SIM card in Antalya using e-Devlet

From messages by 4 participants in 3 sources · Last activity: 7 days ago

TL;DR

Buying a data package in the Turkcell app may require SIM verification through e-Devlet or GocBill. The reports do not confirm whether online verification works with an expired residence permit; access to SMS on the linked number is needed for app account actions.

What the community said

The Turkcell app may ask you to update or verify your details through e-Devlet or GocBill before purchasing a data package. Since packages may previously have been available without this step, check the line’s verification status before paying.

If the SIM-related service was set up using someone else’s phone number, verification codes may be sent to that number. You need access to the SMS-receiving number to manage the account yourself.

Changing line settings in the Türk Telekom app, including disabling mobile internet, requires SMS confirmation sent to the old linked Turkish number. Without access to that number, the action may not be possible in the app.
