Janette Murphy 2 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Went to Vergi with my phone, paid fee to have it opened, was sent to Turkcell by the lady to complete the process. Turkcell sent me to PPT big language problem there, young man shouted in my face and through my phone and passport at me. What am I actually doing with my phone?

Ken Grubb 1,421 Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Did you get your phone working? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janette Murphy 2 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Ha, my phone is working but I don’t know if I have done everything correctly. I had a message from e devlet and followed the instructions. I put my Kimlik number in, I don’t have a clue what my GSM is though. I will just wait and see what happens. Thanks Ken, it’s good to know you are out there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Grubb 1,421 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 It is kind of hard to understand what you are asking. Sometimes if a question isn't specific, it is difficult for others to provide a reply. I am trying to understand. You received a message on your foreign mobile phone, the one you are registering, and they asked you to enter your foreign identification number, and reply to the message? Is that correct? When did you first use the mobile phone in Turkey, when did you pay the tax, and when did you reply to the message? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janette Murphy 2 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Yes the message was sent while I was in front of the PTT man, from E Devlet. He gave me a long number to input once I went on the Turkey.gov.tr site plus the texted code number he sent from E Devlet. I think up until recently your sim supplier would do all this for a fee. Now it’s PTT and the fee is 2tl Ken Grubb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Grubb 1,421 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Sounds to me like your phone is registered now. Thanks for the heads-up about the possible changes, I have to re-write the article we have on it and apparently I need to look in to this as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
