Do you know if you can use this at the same time as your normal sim, I.e. have them both in phone and switch between this for data and your normal one for calls. My phone can apparently have dual sim but nothing to suggest on sim corner you can do this with their sim so unsure...

Oof that's a bit technical for me I'm afraid. Do you not get charged a bomb taking calls when abroad?

We are in Sultanahmet too, £75 each for 4 of us in 2 twins for 3 nights, lol. Booked June last year.

Fair play bud, probably see you over there for a few scoops, like I say there's quite a few of us on the south side of the river

Buy eSIMs for international travel - Airalo

Find travel eSIMs for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices in over 200 destinations. Purchase data for countries, regions, or global connection.

www.airalo.com

I've got a esim of theses £6 for 3gb, it's data only. You just turn the data off on your normal SIM and turn the esim on. Better than switching Sims as you keep you number for WhatsApp etc.

Could I phone my mate up to meet up somewhere in Istanbul with this -this is what I want to know (I’m on EE as well)

I think it's clear that best place to stay is Yenikapi/ Fatih

I suspect most who have booked Taksim will cancel and rebook

More bars etc in Taksim

I’m in Sultanahmet but a taxi to Taksim costs about 75 lira

£3 that is right now

You’d have to be one cheap bastard to baulk at that

Just jump on booking.com and filter a search for that area, there's loads to choose from and reasonably priced aswell, we managed to a triple room for £240 each for 5 nights, good luck!

Our triple room is £75 each for 3 nights in that area.

I'm only willing to do that if 4 of us can share? ;-)

Good read that is. I can see plenty of fans missing the game and missing flights back home. It’s going to be carnage.

Agree and its a big worry.
Why Istanbul and why 10pm kick off in a stadium miles from town?
Makes zero sense.

To be honest, I won’t be to arsed about missing the flight if we win. If we lose however..

My flight is at 10:30am, so have to be at the airport for 8:30am. I’ve got to trek all the way back into Istanbul after the game then go all the way back a few hours later. Hopefully get back to the hotel at a decent time to try get some sleep in.

Booked in at a hotel 5mins walk from Yenikapi met stop. Brekkie included and a pool. Lovely stuff!

It’s the journey back to Town that worries me most.I’m on a jolly till Tuesday so no pressure but boy it would be easier if it were closer and earlier KO.

I can see it being the case of getting back to the hotel and getting straight back in a taxi to the airport. Going to be fucking knackered.

Is it worth staying near this Yenikapi place would you say? That many hotels I haven’t got a clue where to start. Anyone found a decent one for less than £200 a night?

Ah!

Go on Airbnb. Loads of fantastic apartments for much less than that per night. I booked a fantastic apartment for £85 a night all to myself. Prices have dropped.

Where's the best place to change currency? Thinking £100 will be enough to change? Arrive in antalya Friday night, fly back to Birmingham Sunday 8am so only really need cash for taxis?

Had a bad experience once with private apartment in Prague and put me right off, especially arriving late. Prefer to be right in the middle of it really. Ideally I want a Savoy standard hotel for Travelodge prices :-)

Tesco, Asda, the Post Office, M&S, etc. Not MCR Airport or Turkey.

My flight is at 8am. Straight to the airport after the game. If we win we'll still be in the ground around 1am anyway. Only have to travel to IST airport so not as bad.

Is it that straightforward? -I’m not on Facebook so it’s WatsApp basically?

I remember Munich when I was horrified to find my Orange didn’t work at all and I couldn’t contact anyone etc
