FAQ
1. What is eSIM, and how does it work?
eSIM (Embedded SIM) is a new technology that allows you to use mobile connectivity without a physical SIM card. Instead, the SIM card information is stored on a special embedded chip in your device. You can activate and manage eSIM profiles directly through the Turkiye E-SIM application.
2. How do I install Turkiye E-SIM on my device?
To install Turkiye E-SIM on your device, follow these steps: Download the Turkiye E-SIM application from the App Store or Google Play Store. Launch the application and follow the registration or login instructions. After logging in, select the “Add eSIM” option and follow the instructions to scan the QR code or enter the manual data provided by your mobile operator. Once the process is complete, your eSIM profile will be activated and ready for use.
3. How can I find out if my device supports eSIM?
In most cases, the latest device models support eSIM. However, before installing Turkiye E-SIM, it is recommended to check the compatibility of your device with eSIM. You can quickly verify eSIM support by dialing *#06# on your phone — if you see an EID (32-digit number), your device supports eSIM.

- Some carrier-locked devices may have eSIM disabled — your device must be carrier-unlocked to use eSIM with Turkiye E-SIM.
- eSIM support for some Samsung, Motorola, Honor, Vivo, and Xiaomi models may vary by region. Please verify with the manufacturer.
- For iPhones and iPads purchased in Turkey: if you set up your device after April 23, 2020, your eSIM should be activated after installation. If not, contact your carrier.

4. Can I use Turkiye E-SIM with my current mobile operator?
Yes, the Turkiye E-SIM application is compatible with a wide range of mobile operators worldwide. However, make sure that your current operator supports eSIM technology and provides you with the necessary data to activate an eSIM profile. If in doubt, please contact your mobile operator for detailed information.
5. Can I use Turkiye E-SIM in another country?
Yes, you can use Turkiye E-SIM in other countries. However, before using it in another country, make sure that your tariff plan allows needed country and familiarize yourself with the terms and costs of usage in different countries.
6. What happens if I change my device?
When you change your device, you will need to purchase a new eSIM profile, as eSIM can only be installed on one device and cannot be transferred. Each device requires its own unique eSIM profile, and it cannot be shared or moved between devices.
