In fairness: where others beat us

In Turkey, compare the exact plan you need

There is no fixed winner on this page. Among competitors on 1 October 2026, Holafly was the only one with a 1-day unlimited plan, Airalo was cheaper than Holafly on 3 days, and Nomad was cheaper than Airalo and Holafly on 5 days and than Airalo on every GB size both sold. Our price in the table is today's; the others are from 1 October 2026 and carry their link. The table highlights our cell only when it is the lowest in its row.

What we can prove about buying from inside Turkey

Between 6 September and 25 October 2026, 42 purchases were completed on molahop.com from Turkish IP addresses — that is our own order data, and it is the reason we say it works from there. We have not tested whether the other providers can be reached from inside the country, so we make no claim about them.

Prices move, and this page is dated

Every competitor figure was captured on 1 October 2026 from the page linked in its row, and one of them was a sale price. Check the links before deciding: the competitor that was cheapest that morning may not be today.

Can I buy an eSIM once I am already in Turkey?

With MolaHop, yes: 42 purchases were completed on molahop.com from Turkish IP addresses between 6 September and 25 October 2026. We have not tested the other providers from inside the country, so we cannot tell you how they behave there.

Do I need an app?

No, with any of them. MolaHop and Holafly sell from the website — MolaHop also over WhatsApp — and Airalo and Nomad sell on their websites as well as in their apps.

Which network will I be on?

MolaHop uses Vodafone. Holafly states Turkcell and TT Mobil, Airalo states Türk Telekom (Avea) and Nomad states Avea. All checked on 1 October 2026 on each provider's Turkey page.

Is unlimited really unlimited?

No, for any of them. All unlimited plans in this market apply a fair-use policy: a daily allowance at full speed and reduced speed afterwards. Check each provider's policy for the exact allowance.
