Buying a mobile phone

Hi all,

So we are looking to buy a mobile phone. We've been in Antalya for around 6 months and so our UK phone will soon be unusable.

The prices of mobile phones are really expensive and since we are on a residency permit we aren't allowed a mobile phone contract. What's the best place where to purchase a phone?.

Many thanks

At the time (2.5 years ago) we asked our real agent to help out (from what I recall EUR 200 per phone (just Samsung), but they arranged for automated debit (for me and my wife). I personally do not think it is excessive (I would be reluctant to go of the process of bringing (and regestering etc)


I am quite happy

We pay EUR 15 (a bit less) together per month (fine for me, from time to time I call abroad, my wife uses WhatsApp (I am too old for that)
