If you have a GSM-standard phone capable
of operating on the 900Mhz and/or 1800Mhz
band(s), and if you can register
it with the Turkish government (a big
IF), you may be able to use international
roaming in Turkey.
This is a relatively expensive way
to make calls, as roaming charges can
be high. Basically, you're paying two
phone companies: your home one, which
is billing you for the call, and a
Turkish one, which is connecting the
call.
To set up your phone for roaming in
Turkey, see your User's Manual for
how to select a local network.
You can see from this coverage
map of Turkcell's
network that virtually all
of Turkey has mobile phone service,
except some remote (white) areas in
the east:

You may have to notify or activate
international roaming for your mobile
phone account while still in your home
country, before departing for Turkey.
Check on this so that you won't be
disappointed when you arrive.
