Hi ​@Eggsey77,

 

Turkey is in iD Mobile’s Roam Beyond zone, which means your UK allowance won’t work there. It’s also important to note that the available add-ons are data-only.

 

While these are suitable for things like maps or browsing, they don’t include calls or texts. Any standard calls or SMS will be charged separately at out-of-plan rates.

 

How the Roam Beyond add-ons work:

  • You can purchase a data-only bundle via the iD Mobile app or your online account.
  • The add-on starts immediately upon purchase and lasts for a fixed duration.
  • Once it expires, you’ll need to buy another add-on or you’ll be charged standard roaming rates (if your bill cap allows this).
  • Your regular UK allowance (minutes and texts) is not included while in Turkey

 

How to check if you have a bill cap in place:

  • To view or change your bill cap, log in to the iD Mobile app or your online account, go to the Bills section, and select Manage bill cap.  
  • You can adjust this using the slider or by entering an amount (between £0 and up to £75.00, depending on your account type).

 

Tip: Setting this to £0.00 will prevent any unexpected or unwanted charges. 

 

Add-on options:

Data Duration Price
2 GB 1 day £5
10 GB 5 days £10
20 GB 10 days £35

 

Standard roaming charges (without an add-on):

The table below displays how much you’ll be charged for any minutes, texts or data that you use.

 

Roaming Pay monthly
Calls to UK* £2.40
Calls to Turkey* £2.40
Calls received* £2.40
Texts to Turkey** £0.60
Texts to UK** £0.60
Picture message (MMS) sent** £0.60
Internet and Data (per MB)*** £1.50

 

* Price per minute.

** Price per message / text.

*** Data is charged or deducted in one kilobyte (KB) increments and any part KB used will be rounded up to the nearest KB.

Tip:
Depending on how long you’re staying, it may be more cost-effective to get a local SIM in Turkey. Since the bundles last a maximum of 10 days, you may need to purchase multiple add-ons, which can become expensive.
