Pay as you go credit problem!
I have been trying to buy credit for the last four days and being told: "It is not working"
A local friend pointed me in the direction of turkcell website and after scratching my head and a few other places, I found the section for pay as you go. After three goes and a few choice words, I finally got it to accept my card payment but the credits never came through Well, it's a bleedie nightmare and finally gave up!
Oh well, heads up peeps, this is Cyprus.
All you out there do as you are told and stay safe

I have tried several times to use this on line system and it would seem to me that they will only accept a credit card drawn on a Turkish bank as the same thing happens each time.

Have managed successfully to use a Revolut card and less successfully an Iktisatbank card.

Re: Pay as you go credit problem!
I tried several places yesterday to top up but was told "not working"
I went on to Turkcell website and topped up no problem.
I used a credit card issued by Iktisatbank.
I did notice that the min amount of credits you can buy is 600, ie 39tl.

Re: Pay as you go credit problem!
One solution is to get someone with a credit card to do the online top up for you.

Re: Pay as you go credit problem!
Same problem with my monthly internet package topped it up a week ago but the credit hasnt been downloaded. Was told to go to turkcell today but with the curfew I cant. I looked at the web site but my package is not on the list neither is my phone package.
