We have an apartment in Didim, which I use at Easter, May half term and for 6 weeks in the summer. Having spent far too much time this year running to the internet cafe at night in the dark to speak to the family still at home I have decided to look into getting internet provision installed when we return at easter next year and taking a laptop over with me. Can anyone advise me with reference to their own experiences of having it installed? i'm looking for recommendations of Internet providers - in particular individual shops in Didim that might provide the whole service, any problems that might be avoided etc. Can I also ask what sort of costs I would be taking on in terms of installation and monthly bills...given that its only occassional use I don't want to spend a fortune on this. I would be using it for Skype connection, emails, facebook, watching programmes on catch up TV and general browsing. Many Thanks in advance just for reading this. ]]> Phone/ADSL/PC in Turkey dawningram http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/phone-adsl-pc-turkey/40848-best-cheapest-internet-provider.html http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/phone-adsl-pc-turkey/40682-advice-pls-mobile-b-band-skype-calling-uk-mobiles.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:45:47 GMT Hi there

I am planning a 2 month trip to Turkey (Dalyan) and will need to work from our place of residence which does not have wifi!

Can anyone advise me on the best way to use a mobile broadband dongle (I have a UK dongle) & credit in Turkey and how long this might last for use on the internet, email & skype.

Also, I will also need to use a mobile to mainly receive but occasionally make calls back to the UK fairly regularly (often UK mobile numbes) - I imagine that buying a Turkish SIM is good for this BUT I do not want the callers to realise I'm ringing from Turkey - any ideas!!

Many thanks

Is it better to buy directly from Turkcell as I will stay with them and use my old sim card, or can you buy handsets cheaper elsewehere? I wont go down the route of taking one over from UK because I actually paid 3 times to have it registered and they just kept cutting me off again!!

So what do you get, not alot really.

3000 Free inclusive Texts & 300 minutes Free Inclusive calls.

And the Price just £10 a month.

I was on an 18 month contract and the cost was getting higher every month so i decided to change to a PAYG sim when Vodafone told me about this deal.

So from £30+ to £10 a month is a big saving for anybody this day & age. ]]> Phone/ADSL/PC in Turkey Andy http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/phone-adsl-pc-turkey/40185-minimum-use-mobile-phone.html http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/phone-adsl-pc-turkey/40165-uk-mobile-turkey.html Sat, 21 Aug 2010 17:43:45 GMT OK, I,ve read old threads relating to bringing a phone over from the UK and registering it here and I still have a couple of questions. Is proof of purchase in the UK required or will a copy of your passport be sufficient? Are there only specific shops that you can register it or can we go into any Turkcell shop? Thanks.

I can understand the need to stop a huge influx of mobiles but to deactivate them without notice is draconian! When she registered the phone there was no mention of a validity period.
