Hi all. I'll be coming to north cyprus to visit family over the summer and wish to get a local sim card from either Turkcell or Telsim. Does anyone know whether either of these providers offer a pre-paid (pay-as-you-go) tariff that includes low cost calls to a 'favourite' local number?



I think I found one on the Turkcell (turkey) website called " BizBize Canımın 3ü ". But I don't speak turkish so I found it quite hard to get the information I needed!



I appreciate any response. Many thanks.

Thanks. The reason I ask is because i'm looking to use a service called 'Rebtel' while I'm there which works by allowing cheap international calls via a local number. So I really am looking for the lowest possible rates, even if they are only to 1 number.

Thanks all. Yes, I have studied how rebtel works and its not really that cheap if I'm paying 7 kontours/units per minute to call a local fixed number. It would be worth it if turkcell had a tariff that allow cheap calls to a couple of select numbers. Thats why I really need to know if turkcell offer this. A sort of 'friends and family' type package. Thanks.

I have emailed rebtel to enquire about this. But I'm sure they also apply to TRNC.
