My wife arrived in Bodrum this morning and can’t get our Avea sim card to make or accept calls or texts. It was used last in mid-march, there were over 200 Kontors left on it then. We’ve tried calling it, sending texts but to all intents and purposes it’s switched off.

Anyone got an idea how I can get this sorted?

OR does it sound like the phone has been disabled by the telecom people in Turkey since it’s the same handset I previously used in March.

Cheers,

TJD,

You dont say, but I guess you are using a UK phone and Turkish Sim card. I would guess it has been disabled at the turkish end as part of the clampdown on unregistered phones.

Good luck - infuriating innit ? We use a UK 02 sim with int roaming and ping greece for cheap EU calls. Have you tried that ??
