Paying for isage in turkey.
Lyndsey_2218234 When you roam in Turkey, the charge is 10p per megabyte - so that is £102.40 p per Gigabyte . In other words, eye-wateringly expensive! This detail is given in the Smarty Price Guide on page 20.
Is there no wi-fi where you are?
A cheaper alternative - if you have a modern phone - is to buy a data Esim from one of the many online companies that offer them.
As an example, I have used Roamless in some countries; in Turkey they charge $2.45 for a Gigabyte, which is a fraction of the £102.40! You put credit on the Esim account and, if you do not use it all it stays there for another time and any of the other currently 203 countries where they operate.
Another company I have used is Airalo. They offer a variety of packages for Turkey and all are hugely much cheaper than Smarty roaming there.
How much data do your boys use? May as well ask how long is a piece of string? You could check their data usage in their phone settings and that may give you an idea (but only if they regularly zero the figures), but while sitting around on holiday they may use a lot more. You could also tell them that when they use up what you are offering, then that's that!!
Thankyou i will look into am esim. They probably only use max 2gb a week but might be more on holiday. Myself aswell i like to browse. There is wifi in the hotel and i dont think we will be out of it much so hopefully will all work out.
