eSIM for Turkey: six services compared with prices
Turkey is the best-supplied destination in our eSIM catalogue. Alongside Thailand it is the only country out of two hundred where all six services have a plan. That makes an honest comparison possible: one basket, six prices, with no half the rows reading «no plan».
We compare exactly that way — fix a volume and a duration, and let the calculator pick each vendor's cheapest plan that genuinely covers the basket.
In short
- At 10 GB over 14 days eSIM Tayyor is cheapest at 559 ₽; Just eSIM is dearest at 1 550 ₽.
- At 30 GB over 30 days the order flips: eSIM.World comes first at 2 013 ₽.
- The host networks in Turkey are Turkcell, Vodafone and AVEA / Türk Telekom, and not every vendor names them.
- Five of six accept payment from Russia.
- Yesim itself warns that its app may not open in Turkey — and it does not work without the app.
Basket: 10 GB over 14 days
| Service | Price | Plan selected |
|---|---|---|
| eSIM Tayyor | 559 ₽ | 10 GB / 30 days |
| eSIM365 | 619 ₽ | Simple 10 GB / 30 days |
| eSIM.World | 1 003 ₽ | 10 GB / 14 days |
| Yesim | 1 342–1 565 ₽ | 10 GB / 30 days |
| Unisim | 1 343 ₽ | AVEA / Türk Telekom, 1.15 $/GB |
| Just eSIM | 1 550 ₽ | 10 GB / 14 days |
Almost threefold between first and last for the same volume in the same country. Yesim's interval appears because it names no full-speed threshold on any plan.
Note the Unisim row: it sells not packages but a single balance drawn down at a per-gigabyte price — 1.15 $ per gigabyte in Turkey. That is the lowest per-gigabyte price in the Turkish section of the catalogue, but without a package discount the total over ten gigabytes comes out higher.
How the winner changes
There is no universal «best service for Turkey». Three baskets on one destination:
| Basket | First | Second | Third |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 GB / 7 days | eSIM Tayyor and eSIM365 — 439 ₽ each | eSIM.World 498 ₽ | Yesim 862–1 006 ₽ |
| 10 GB / 14 days | eSIM Tayyor 559 ₽ | eSIM365 619 ₽ | eSIM.World 1 003 ₽ |
| 30 GB / 30 days | eSIM.World 2 013 ₽ | eSIM Tayyor 2 559 ₽ | Yesim 2 549–2 973 ₽ |
The flip at thirty gigabytes is no accident: eSIM.World has an exact 30 GB / 30 day package, while eSIM Tayyor has to sell you a 50 GB one — you pay for volume you will not use. That is exactly why the catalogue lets you set the basket instead of choosing from presets.
What sits behind the plan: networks
An eSIM runs on a local partner operator's network, and coverage at a specific spot depends on which. In Turkey the vendors name these:
- eSIM.World — AVEA / Türk Telekom, Vodafone, Turkcell.
- Unisim — the operator is in each plan's own name, including AVEA / Türk Telekom.
- eSIM365 — the operator is named on every plan card; for Turkish plans it is Vodafone.
- eSIM Tayyor, Yesim, Just eSIM — network undisclosed.
This is not a detail for anyone heading beyond Istanbul and Antalya: Turkish operators differ by region, and knowing whose network you are buying is useful.
Payment and installation
Five accept payment from Russia: eSIM Tayyor via SBP, eSIM.World via Russian acquiring, Unisim by MIR and other cards, eSIM365 by MIR card and SBP, Just eSIM via Cloudpayments. Yesim takes a card in the interface currency and does not declare that it works from Russia.
Yesim carries an extra complication in Turkey, and it comes from the vendor itself: the service requires its own app, and its storefront for Turkey and the UAE separately notes that the app may not open in-country. Managing purchased data through an app that needs data is a risk worth weighing before buying.
Installation at all six is by QR code, so it has to be done at home on a working connection. At eSIM.World the profile link lives 89 days before activation; at eSIM365 a profile must not be deleted before its term ends, because it cannot be reinstalled.
The fine print, vendor by vendor
- eSIM.World — unused traffic is forfeited, liability is excluded entirely with no ceiling. Sources disagree on the post-threshold speed: support and the blog say 512 kbit/s, a third-party review from April 2026 says 384 kbit/s.
- eSIM Tayyor — an Uzbek service; purchase and QR come straight through Telegram. It publishes prices in roubles and rounds them to …9. Its «unlimited» plans are in fact daily: 1–3 GB a day at full speed, then 512 kbit/s.
- Unisim — under the agreement the counterparty is a sole trader, while the site footer names Unisim LLC. Clause 2.5 states that information on the site is not an offer. Refunds within 14 days and only for device incompatibility.
- Yesim — refunds only for an unactivated product, and activation counts from the first connection to a network: you cannot test it and then return it. Legal entity GENESIS GROUP AG, Switzerland.
- Just eSIM — exclusive jurisdiction of Hong Kong courts regardless of your residence, and you pay their lawyers' fees in a recovery action. Speed after the threshold drops to 32 kbit/s.
- eSIM365 — the operator is named on every plan; post-threshold speed is 1 Mbit/s. Russian legal entity, operating since 2024.
