How much eSIM data for a trip in Turkey?
✓ Prices checked 22 Oct 2026For 14 days in Turkey with normal daily use, TripUtils estimates 6–9 GB. A 10 GB plan is the usual buffer. Not a live price. City maps, messaging and ride-hail fit normal use. Turkey is a typical destination where a travel eSIM replaces a carrier day-pass rather than topping up EU roaming.

Roaming in Turkey on an Austrian plan: what A1 and Drei charge
Turkey is outside EU roam-like-at-home, so the EU data in an Austrian plan does not apply there. Published prices, checked on 22 Oct 2026 (euros incl. VAT):
| Network | Option | Data | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | Roaming Pass (Zone 1) | per started GB | €4.90 |
| A1 | A1 Roaming Datenwoche Welt | 1 GB, 7 days | €9.90 |
| Drei | Roaming-Paket Go | 1 GB, 15 days | €5.00 |
| Drei | Roaming-Paket Go Select | 5 GB, 15 days | €10.00 |
| Drei | Roaming-Paket Türkei Unlimited | unlimited, 15 days | €25.00 |
For the 10 GB planning size (14 days), A1’s Roaming Pass would bill 10 × €4.90 = €49.00, the A1 Roaming Datenwoche Welt 10 × 1 GB = €99.00 (packages run 7 calendar days, Austrian time, and can be stacked); on Drei, 2 packages (Go Select + Go Select) cover it for €20.00. A1 says the Roaming Pass is switched on automatically for every tariff signed since 24 June 2026, and it blocks roaming data at a default limit of €60, which you can raise yourself.
Magenta prices depend on the tariff — look them up in Magenta’s roaming finder. Older tariffs without these options can cost more. Sources: A1, Drei, Magenta.

Common questions
Is 10 GB enough for 14 days in Turkey?
City maps, messaging and ride-hail fit normal use. Turkey is a typical destination where a travel eSIM replaces a carrier day-pass rather than topping up EU roaming. The 6–9 GB estimate plus buffer lands on 10 GB. Hotel Wi‑Fi is not counted. Streaming video on mobile is the usual reason to go larger.
Should I roam in Turkey instead?
Turkey is outside EU roaming. As of 22 Oct 2026, A1’s Roaming Pass bills €4.90 per started GB there (zone 1) and Drei sells 1 GB for €5, 5 GB for €10 or “Türkei Unlimited” (unlimited) for €25, valid 15 days. Compare that with an eSIM quote for the same GB.
