Need suggestions for E/SIM for Türkiye

Hi I need a sim deal for 1 week Turkiye holiday. Can anyone give suggestions on them, whether they’re worth it, which to get, etc.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Am I right in thinking that the S package only allows 5GB roaming in Turkey; Is the 15GB only for England
    Thanks

    Another vote for airalo.com, they seem to be recommended for International travel.
    Using their esim next week for New York trip.
    3GB for $11 and had a $3 dollar discount code, which made it $8.

    We went to Marmaris last month and used e-SIMs from Maya mobile: cheap, easy to use and gave excellent service, so would definitely use again maya.net

    Was recommended this by another user a few weeks back.
    Have a look for promo code and you should be able to get $3 discount if I recall.
    Also make sure you set up the apn with the info it gives you when installing sim to enable you to use it (edited)

    As an aside, guys and dolls, They now insist on new spelling and pronounciation for Turkey.

    Spelled : Turkiye
    Pronounced: Toor-key-ye

    Thanks Erdogan.

    WRONG- a nation ONLY defines its own name for its own population, in the language or languages that population uses.

    The whole idea of a language is that it creates words in that language for things, including nations. So in English, Turkey means whatever the Turks call their nation in whatever languages they wish to use internally.

    Sorry to hijack this thread but I am in Turkey next week and looking to get an e-sim through airalo. If anyone has a $3 code going spare I would be very grateful if you could send this to me.

    It's "Turkey"- as any sane person would understand if they had any ability to think logically. Or do you think we should rename Japan as a word in Japanese using the Japanese 'alphabet'? Would that make any sense to an English speaker?

    A sane person brought up in "English" language does not necessarily mean they are right. Remember "Peking" was an Anglicised version of Beijing ? And now everyone acepts that as the true pronounciation? There are a billion plus Chinese speakers and a fractionof that number are native English (anglicised) speakers.

    A bit of colonial mentality ?
