Hi Deniz,

When I first read your post, I thought "Yup, sensible advice..."

I've just re-read it, and thought "Which provider?"

Her 'Provider' is the UK Telecoms company with which she has a contract, or PAYG arrangement!

Is that what you meant? That she needs to go to a UK office? - Or did you mean Turkcell or Telsim? - And if so, which one?

That's got me beat!

It's got me beat too. I have a dual sim phone turkcell/virgin. All fine till a month ago then no service on virgin but got service if i went south. Tried all the links to register the virgin iemi with turkcell no good went to turkcell shop was told don't need to register go to virgin. contacted virgin who refreshed international roamning. still no joy. contacted them again they stated no reason why it should not work so I am at an impasse. I believe turkcell and the other providers have fallen out and the only one working is vodaphone. If any one knows how to get service again I would be very interested to hear

Go into the main Turkcell office either in the centre of Girne or by the roundabout at the end of the dual carriageway to Girne. Speak to the customer services person who does speak English and they will sort it out for you.

I have exactly the same setup as mickhm. I went to the Turkcell shop in Girne and the English speaker said there was nothing they could do!!
