Saltarse bloqueos con una eSIM en roaming: We found no reliable source that a roaming eSIM bypasses local blocks. The eSIM block only affects websites and apps for buying, not mobile data: an eSIM that is already installed works (Teknoblog, Medyascope)

Qué hacer

• Los mensajes funcionan, las llamadas pueden cortarse. Ten un plan B: notas de voz o una llamada normal.
• Las webs y apps de muchos servicios eSIM están bloqueadas en Turquía desde el 10.07.2025: compra e instala la eSIM en casa. Una eSIM instalada funciona.
• Las webs de servicios VPN pueden no abrir aquí. ¿Es legal una VPN?: Using a VPN is not banned, but the websites of dozens of VPNs (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Proton, Surfshark) have been blocked since 11.2023
• Durante protestas, elecciones o exámenes se ha cortado aquí internet o algunos servicios (07 (б.2024, 02.08.2024, 19.03.2025, 07.09.2025). Al turista le afecta normalmente un día o dos.
• Instala e inicia sesión en casa en las apps que necesites: WhatsApp, Telegram, banca, Mapas. Algunas tiendas de apps y webs pueden no abrir en el país.
• Deja tu SIM en el móvil: los SMS del banco llegan a ella. Pasa los datos a la eSIM y desactiva la «Itinerancia de datos» en tu SIM.
• Con sinceridad sobre Tutu eSIM: solo datos, sin número. Las llamadas y SMS normales van por tu SIM a precio de roaming. Donde las llamadas por mensajería están bloqueadas, la eSIM sola no las abre.
