The cheapest way
to call from Turkey to another
country is via Skype.
The
cheapest way using the traditional
Turkish telephone network is using
a phone card (telekart).
The Türk
Telekom website lists rates
for international calls.
There
are three types of cards:
—Smart
Telefon Karti,
with a little computer chip embedded
in it; 50 or 100 units;
—Manyetik
Telefon Karti, with
a magnetic iron-oxide stripe
on it (like a credit card); 30,
60 or 100 units;
—Kuresel, the "secret-number" cards:
you open the packet, input the number,
and your account is charged with
the value of the card. As with any
secret-number phone card, make sure
the packet is sealed and the number
hidden before you buy, or it may
be worthless.
For international
calls, buy the higher-value
cards.
Make
a short call to
the person you want to talk to,
and tell them to call you
back at a certain time
on a certain number (such as your
hotel room). Rates from other countries
to Turkey may be lower than rates
from Turkey to other countries.
