Travelling to Turkey - what sim can I buy out there or before I go which has large amounts of data?

Will be stuck in hospital post surgery for about 4 days, hospital Internet is likely to be bad, so wondering how I can go about getting a sim that would allow me to binge watch tv shows to help the time pass. Would enormously appreciate help with this!

    If you want a lot of data, you definitely want a local SIM over an eSIM etc. eSIMs are convenient but get very pricey for big allowances.

    Do a bit of Google translate of Turkcell, Vodafone Turkey and Turk Telecom and see which deal looks good, then head to a store to get one once there (not the airport).

    No WiFi? Sounds stupid but worth checking?

    Even if it costs, could be cheaper

    Airport isn’t that bad on price obv not as cheap as going into city but just get from airport if your not going to be going out or not time as I always get from airport just cause of the convenience

    If its a private Turkish hospital I would expect the wifi would be half decent. But I guess you could ask the hospital which Turkish tourist sim's signal is best in their location?

    Where are you going ..Istanbul?

    Not sure how accurate it is but theres a coverage map here
