Ce qui marche : Turquie

Turquie⚠️ Quelques limites

Messengers, Instagram, YouTube and Google usually work, but during protests (March and September 2025) social networks and WhatsApp were restricted for 1-2 days. Since July 2025 the websites and apps of foreign eSIM services are blocked, so it is better to buy and install your eSIM at home.

Contournement via une 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)

Que faire

• Les messages passent, les appels peuvent couper. Prévoyez un plan B : vocaux ou appel normal.
• Les sites et applis de nombreux services eSIM sont bloqués en Turquie depuis le 10.07.2025 : achetez et installez l'eSIM à la maison. Une eSIM installée marche.
• Les sites de VPN peuvent ne pas s'ouvrir ici. Un VPN est‑il légal : Using a VPN is not banned, but the websites of dozens of VPNs (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Proton, Surfshark) have been blocked since 11.2023
• Lors de manifestations, d'élections ou d'examens, internet ou certains services ont été coupés ici (07 (б.2024, 02.08.2024, 19.03.2025, 07.09.2025). Pour un touriste, cela dure en général un jour ou deux.
• Installez et connectez‑vous à la maison aux applis utiles : WhatsApp, Telegram, banque, Plans. Certains magasins d'applis et sites peuvent ne pas s'ouvrir sur place.
• Gardez votre propre SIM dans le téléphone : les SMS de la banque y arrivent. Passez les données sur l'eSIM et coupez l'« itinérance des données » sur votre SIM.
• Franchement sur Tutu eSIM : des données seulement, sans numéro. Les appels et SMS normaux passent par votre SIM au tarif roaming. Là où les appels des messageries sont bloqués, l'eSIM seule ne les ouvre pas.
