Help - Turkcell Prepaid Topup Needed

SIMCollector · 25-09-2010, 15:15

This is a few months a go, but here's an update...

Turkcell would not take a non-Turkish credit card, either on the phone or through their website.

Turkcell have a number of agencies in Germany and other countries, but not UK, that will, allegedly, sell top-up cards.

The few sellers of top-ups on ebay have gone. And when they were selling it was at twice the price of buying in Turkey or from Turkcell.

I found a way to do it, but it was a one off and a generous action, which I will detail later, when I have the right information at hand.

If anyone has come across a way to top-up Turkcell pre-pay SIM cards outside of Turkey and without a Turkish bank account or a Turkish credit card, I would still be interested to know.

Turkcell seems to be one of the harder SIMs to top-up without some sort of local presence or bank/credit card. I believe with Vodafone it is possible to buy top-ups from any country and when used they are some how converted into a credit for whatever countries Vodafone SIM is used.
