Best coverage in Turkey, including the east and the Black Sea. Passport at the counter. iGA Istanbul and Sabiha Gökçen both sell tourist packs; a city shop is cheaper if you are not rushing out of the airport.

Fine in Istanbul, Ankara and the southwest coast. Weaker than Turkcell once you leave the main highways. Passport required at the shop.

Useful as a landing bridge if you do not want an airport queue. For a long trip, or anything east of Ankara, a Turkcell physical SIM still wins coverage.
