After failure at both customs and Vodafone, both in Istanbul airport and Kusadasi, I have finally successfully registered my fancy UK-bought Palm Treo mobile with Vodafone in Marmaris, thanks to the reports of a few members that this would be possible. It now works. One member reported that Turkcell in Marmaris are equally good or better and their internet dongle works (the Vodafone dongle did not work on my laptop).

The people at the Vodafone office were not really able to help sort the internet aspects of the mobile phone, including using it as a modem for internet from the laptop, but with some help from customer services on 444 0542 I have been able to come up with a strange but workable solution (mixture of Turkish settings for the mobile phone and UK settings, which I luckily already had from Vodafone UK, not Turkish settings, for the laptop).
