Is Turkey included in Vodafone AU roaming?
Yes, Turkey is one of the eligible destinations included in Vodafone international roaming. So, customers on eligible postpaid plans can activate Vodafone $5 roaming and use their SIM card in Turkey without purchasing a local SIM.
Vodafone roaming coverage is typically provided through Vodafone Turkey, Turkcell, or Turk Telecom. Your phone automatically connects to the preferred roaming partner based on the best speed. You can also manually select the mobile network.
Vodafone $5 Roaming for Turkey
Vodafone offers one of the best international roaming plans in Australia, allowing its eligible customers to use their domestic plan data, calls, and text allowance overseas for an extra AU$5 per day.
Only the postpaid customers on the eligible Vodafone Infinite, Plus Plan, or Vodafone Infinite Data Plan can use this plan.
How it works:
- Price: $5 per day (charges only on days you use roaming in Turkey).
- Includes: Use of your standard domestic data allowance, calls, and SMS according to your plan.
- Availability: Access for up to 90 days per calendar year.
- Important note: If the included data on your plan is exceeded, additional 1GB blocks may be automatically added for $5 each.
Vodafone prepaid international roaming add-on for Turkey
The $5 roaming is not available for prepaid customers. You must purchase an international roaming add-on to use Vodafone roaming in Turkey. If not, you’ll be charged at standard pay-as-you-go rates, which can become expensive quickly.
Prepaid users can choose the roaming add-on from the following list:
| Price | Duration | Data | Standard Talk | Standard SMS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5 | 1-Day plan | 1 GB | 100 Min (incoming and outgoing) | 100 international texts |
| $15 | 3-Day plan | 3 GB | 150 Min (incoming and outgoing) | 150 international texts |
| $35 | 7-Day plan | 7 GB | 350 Min (incoming and outgoing) | 250 international texts |
If you are not sure how much data you need on your trip, use our data usage calculator to estimate your data consumption and purchase an add-on that better fits your needs. However, you can always use the My Vodafone app to purchase another add-on while in Turkey. Make sure you have the latest app installed on your phone.
Vodafone pay-as-you-go roaming rates for Turkey
If you are not on an eligible plan to use $5 roaming, or haven’t purchased an international roaming add-on, standard PAYG international roaming rates apply. Postpaid and prepaid users have identical PAYG rates:
- Data: $1 per MB (costly for those using a lot of data during their trip).
- Calls: $1 per minute.
- SMS/MMS: $0.75 per message.
Warning: At the $1 per MB rate, even just a short daily use on data-heavy apps like Instagram can consume at least 100 MB, which may cost up to $100.
Important note: The PAYG rates can become very expensive quickly, especially for long trips. Purchasing a Turkey SIM card or an eSIM is a more cost-effective way to stay connected without concerns about roaming costs.
