With summer holiday season in full swing, Turkey is a top destination for millions of us looking for some sun. You might have seen some news recently about Turkey’s telecom regulator (the BTK) banning access to the websites and apps of major eSIM providers like Holafly and Airalo.
The good news, our Roam Beyond Add-ons for Turkey are completely unaffected by this ban.
Why are we not affected?
It’s super simple. The ban in Turkey targets third-party eSIM providers that require you to visit their website or use their app to buy and install a new eSIM. Our Roam Beyond add-ons work differently. They are a bolt-on to your existing iD Mobile plan. There’s no need to download or activate anything from a separate app that might be blocked. You just add the data bundle to your account and you’re good to go.

Top Tip: Buy before you fly!
For a completely seamless experience, we always recommend buying your Roam Beyond add-on while you’re still in the UK. Your add-on will start as soon as you buy it, so it’ll be ready and waiting for you the moment you land. This is the best way to avoid any surprise charges.
Forgot to buy? No problem!
Despite the ban, you can still purchase a Roam Beyond add-on even after you’ve landed in Turkey.
Just make sure your mobile data and roaming are switched off to avoid charges, connect to Wi-Fi (at the airport or your hotel), and then head to the iD Mobile app or my.idmobile.co.uk to buy your add-on. Easy!
