At the moment, unable to get connected to a local network on the above sim card. Worked ok up until yesterday. May be a faulty sim, Anybody else having a problem?
Many thanks

Had the same problem but it works in the south.
Have you registered the number with KKTCELL

Hi, I thought that I'd better check my EE/Orange 'phone, and found the same problem.

I attempted to connect to both local providers (shown as Turkcell and Vodafone TR on my 'phone) and couldn't connect to either...

Turkcell used to be the 'default' provider on my 'phone.

It seems likely that it is related to the issues with 'phone / IMEI number registration, discussed here and elsewhere on the forum, so it looks as though a trip down to the Turkcell shop is in order...

You will probably find it wont help. It looks like virgin O2 tescos orange etc have lost the roaming contract so there will be no service in the North. I ended up buying a PAYG vodaphone chip from the UK which, at the moment is still working
As I got older I congratulated myself on my tolerance..... Now I realise I just don't give a "ooops"

We have been using the same phone and PAYG sim here for three years, connecting to Turkcell without any problems. Does it now need to be registered?
