Turkey eSIM

How to activate your Turkey eSIM

1. Buy the plan, pay from your HORNO wallet balance in USD. Delivery is instant.
2. Open the confirmation email, you'll receive a QR code and one-tap install links for iOS and Android.
3. Install the eSIM, scan the QR from another device, or tap the install link directly on the phone that will use it. No app required.
4. Enable data roaming on the HORNO line once you land in Turkey. The eSIM connects to a local partner network automatically, no APN setup.
5. Keep your main SIM active for calls and SMS. HORNO handles data only, so you don't lose your regular number.

Compatible with any eSIM-capable phone (iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and most recent Android flagships). Your phone must be carrier-unlocked.

Turkey eSIM, questions travellers ask

Which networks does the HORNO eSIM use in Turkey?

The HORNO Turkey eSIM connects to major local mobile operators automatically, no manual APN or carrier selection required.

Can I keep my regular phone number while using a HORNO eSIM in Turkey?

Yes. The HORNO eSIM runs as a second line alongside your primary SIM, so you keep your usual number for calls and SMS while data goes through HORNO.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery is by email within minutes of payment. The email contains a QR code and one-tap install links for iOS and Android.

When does the validity period start?

The validity countdown starts the moment the eSIM first connects to a mobile network in Turkey, not when you buy it. You can install the profile before you travel and activate on arrival.

Can I top up if I run out of data?

Most HORNO plans support top-ups from your dashboard. If a plan doesn't, simply purchase a new one, the QR code stays the same for supported SKUs.
