Can anyone help please?

I understand that if you apply to Turk Telecom for a residential phone connection you can ask a Turk to guarantee the connection.In practical terms does anyone know what are the processes you have to go through?
Any help would be most appreciated- this refers to Altinkum.Thanks.

Basically, you just go to your local Turk Telecom offices with your Turkish friend and they complete the paperwork.

However, as far as I know, all office staff at Turk Telecom offices have been on strike for the last few weeks. You'll need to check if they've returned to normal working yet.

Not only office staff who have been on strike, the engineers are on strike too.

That is what we did - easy peasy but as KKOB says they are on strike now

probably means the turk will have to pay if you do a runner! Are they are still on strike, I haven't noticed any difference!

Why do you want a Turk to be a guarantor? just take your residency papers to Turk telecom and you can have it in your own right.

When we applied for ours there was no request fro a Guarantor just as Phil the great! says just your papers will suffice. However make sure you tell them you want to make international calls as they will not do this automatically. and another tip make sure you go into find out and pay your bill each month becuse they explained to my friend who had been (semi cut off!!) this is Turkey sir there is no post but you still have a bill. for ADSL return several times! after your phone line is installed and they will plug you in. that said it is worth all the hassle as it is very cheap to call UK.

You will if your phone or ADSL goes down - it won't get fixed!"!! In fact I heard that the strikers are cutting phone lines out of spite.
