I have been with Turkcell for 8 years and whilst the shop can change your settings so that your messages arrive in English this does not apply to ALL messages, it depends on which company gets your phone number.

Hi Deniz, that is what I usually do, if I can't make head nor tail of it!
It helps if you have a Smart Phone with Google Translate running - one of the options is 'Translate SMS', which looks in the Text message folder on your 'phone, and will then translate to English (or anything else that you want) at a 'touch', sometimes with comical results
Occasionally I receive the same message twice - once in English and once in Turkish.
As most of the messages seem to concern 'Special Offers' / Campaigns involving 'Extra Kontors for 1 week only' or some such, I usually just delete 'em

Ha ha Keith some of the translations are really funny total rubbish of course. I never bother any more with the texts they always send 2 for the same thing its quite annoying but hey ho.
