Is Triply's eSIM a better option than buying a local SIM at Istanbul (IST) Airport?

Updated April 22, 2026

Absolutely, for your group's smooth arrival in Turkey, Triply is a much simpler choice. Buying a physical 'Tourist SIM' at airports like Istanbul (IST) or Sabiha (SAW) can be notoriously expensive and time-consuming. You'll likely face long queues at Turkcell, Vodafone, or Turk Telekom kiosks, followed by a mandatory passport registration. With Triply, your entire crew can activate their eSIM digitally before you even land, saving precious time and avoiding airport hassles, so you can start your adventure in Istanbul sooner.
