Apologies, hoping to tag along on this thread.
We're going on a cruise and will be stopping in Istanbul and Kusadasi over about a 3.5 day period and hoping to throw a prepaid sim into my unlocked android phone primarily to get data for my apps.
Any recommended places to buy a pre-paid sim near the Galata Bridge or Sultanahmet?
Because I'm only going to be there less than 5 days, will I be able to get away with buying a prepaid sim without registering it?
The prepaid sims generally seem to come with a bit of calling value loaded on it. To activate a data plan, it looks like you just have to send the appropriate SMS message for the plan you want and it will just subtract from the initial value balance?
I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly but I was hoping I could add this one month trial data addon for 3TL.

From what I've found, it looks like these are the APN settings(?) for Turkcell and Vodafone.
Turkcell

password: (blank) (or) gprs
APN name: internet
Vodafone

TIA.
