Most terrible experience I have ever had.
September 30, 2023

They treat customers as garbage, also they scam foreigners for more money. When confronted they will curse at you. I will never ever be a customer of Turkcell again and do not recommend it at all!

Bad manners
August 10, 2021

The people who works in these stores they seem to dislike foreigners completely. They avoid looking at you in the face or looking at you in the eyes. They just say two words in Turkish and they point you out to somebody else. You deal with this every month every month again and again. I don't know how they survive in this business. These stores should be closed. It's not just one in Fethiye, It's in Istanbul too.

Absolutely horrible internet service
April 11, 2019

I don't know how this place is still in existence offering the POOR service and internet speeds that they provide. Mistakenly signed up for "high speed" internet service with this company and regretted every single day of it!
They're a part of Turkcell and supposed to be offering a "superonline" but it's furthest thing form super... or online.
Paying for 15MBs... the few times when it was actually working, I got nothing more than 6MBs... at maximum. Most times the average was less than 1MBs (see screen shot).
Their customer service is equally as bad, agents aren't too familiar with basic info and in turn no help.
If this is how all the internet service providers are in Turkey it may be best you lower your expectations so as not to be disappointed.
PS As some speedtest websites are actually blocked from within Turkey, it's a clear indication this is not an isolated issue.

The computer says, "No".
March 5, 2019

Hello

I dit that, they spoke with Turckcell.
The only answer from Turckcell was, we can only do what the computer says.

You can understand that this is not a right answer.

There is an English comic TV program with the name, "The computer says, "No".

The people in the shop in Finike, Sahil Yolu, refuse to take any more actions.
I take 15 GB in a other Turckcell shop, but that is not the solution.

This is the second time I buy 15 GB and turn around in circles for 3 weeks.
Nobody by Turkcell not in the shop, by phone or email can answer my simple question.

Why cant I get 50 GB data any more?

Next year it will be Vodafone and of course a review in Holland of the Turkcell service.
And for the record I have a Camper-Van Rental Firm.
You can imagine what my advice will be, witch Telephone Provider, when they travel to Turkey.

Best regards,

This company is a CROOK.
September 13, 2018

Avoid buying anything from them. They charged me 200 dollar for using google map for five minutes in Tbilisi. When I told them that this was UNFAIR charge, they didnt want to even hear it.

DO NOT BUY ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS.
