Where can tourists buy a local SIM card in Antalya, Turkey and how much does it cost?
Based on 3 discussions with 7 participants · Last activity: 1 day ago
TL;DR
The easiest option is an eSIM (e.g. via the TripCom app) set up before your trip; if your phone doesn't support eSIM, buy a physical tourist SIM at a PTT (Turkish post office) branch or at a Turkcell/Vodafone/Türk Telekom store in Antalya. Exact prices weren't specified — rates change often, so check locally on arrival.
What the community said
If your phone supports eSIM, the recommended option is setting one up in advance via the TripCom app (reviews available in-app). For a physical SIM, PTT (Turkish post office) branches sell them to tourists.

Many travelers ask where to buy a SIM right after landing and what current rates are — prices shift, so it's best to confirm the actual cost with local operators on arrival.

For phones without eSIM support, travelers often look for a data-only tourist SIM (no calls needed) — ask about these plans at PTT offices or local carrier stores.
