WI FI via cell phone in TURKEY for free?
Explain to teapots: we will have free wi-fi in the hotel. From a mobile phone (Moscow MEGAFON or BEELINE) will Internet access in TURKEY be free? What you need to do in order to access the Internet from a mobile phone (supporting wi fi) for FREE (to mail at @mail.ru) from a hotel with free wi fi

maybe I will give not quite the right answer, but I will give my thoughts, maybe they will help something.
wi-fi is wireless data transmission. It has nothing to do with your mobile operator. Your phone simply sees the wi-fi coverage areas and can register in them. It's like a laptop. Therefore, when you are in the coverage area of the hotel wi-fi, your phone will locate the transmitter station and offer to register on the network. Registration in the hotel network is usually automatic, without passwords and settings. Therefore, after agreeing to register, your phone will be connected to the station that transmits data, and will enter the Internet through the hotel. If the use of this i-net is free (and in Turkey it usually is), then you can freely use it.

What and where is it better to buy a SIM card for a mobile in Turkey for inexpensive calls to Russia?

To be honest, I don't know, I've never used them. I have an international Sim Travel card and I always use it. There, all calls for 0.5 euros per minute outgoing and incoming in Turkey are free. But mostly I use free and-no at the hotel and my laptop for communication. And calls are only in extreme cases, so I don’t really know about tariffs.
Maybe someone else will answer who used the services of Turkish operators.

The cheapest option is a pay phone on the street. cards for him are usually sold in the same place, near him. we have also been using Sim Travel for 2 years already and are quite satisfied, because you can simply go broke on roaming from our operators. and we have top-ups for Sim Travel on every corner. Yes, I don’t know what kind of jokes with our connection: my husband has a contract SIM card, he received a call from his homeland a couple of times, and a massive withdrawal of money from the account began. 30 bucks flew away just nowhere, and about 20 more had to be put on return so that the phone started working. the operator shrugged his shoulders: roaming... so next time we won't even take this phone with us.

In order to use WiFi access in some hotels you need to know the password (usually at the reception). And pay attention to the default Internet settings so that the phone does not connect via cellular networks.
And as for communication, the cheapest way is from a payphone. We used the cell only for incoming calls, and then if it was urgent and there was nowhere to call. You can talk a lot about a $5 payphone card (it worked out for 20-30 minutes) and payphones at every corner.

As far as I know, the Turkish SIM card does not work in Russian mobile phones. A Russian mobile phone must be registered in Turkey. At least that's how it was with my friend. She bought a Turkish SIM card and she was able to use it for 2 days, spending a couple of bucks. The SIM itself cost 20 bucks. Turning to the store where I bought the SIM card, I received this explanation.

Actually on the question...
Voice telephony via Wi-Fi can be available thanks to programs such as Skype (for free, only traffic is consumed, and if it is free, then you don’t pay anything at all). But, your interlocutor must also be on Skype (or you have to pay for forwarding to regular phones), at the same time as you.
The Wi-Fi phone option is not suitable. Skype downloaded to the phone as a Java application only supports Chat (text messaging)...
Another thing is, if you have a smartphone, then Skype is fully supported, incl. and voice calls, but only to an external speaker (i.e. everyone around will hear your interlocutor), some "specialists" talk about editing the registry to fix this problem.
It's actually on the phone...
There is no such problem with a netbook or laptop. You need headphones and the device itself for free calls around the world ... (do not forget that the same for the interlocutor)
Good luck!

papa74 the question was not about voice telephony, but about accessing the Internet and checking mail on your mailbox, using your mobile phone as an access point. Thank you very much for giving information about calls via i-no, but if you have such extensive information about this, you can still tell about the topic. I personally am also very interested to know the answer to this question, because. I have never encountered this.

Didn't get it for the mail....
First you need to check the phone in your homeland ...
Try turning on Wi-Fi in flight mode (so that you pay for the Internet while roaming). If everything is fine, it will be good in Turkey and anywhere else.
I don’t have Nokia (e65), I can’t say. For such a specific question, look at specialized sites (like w3bsit3-dns.com).

I don’t want to take a laptop with me to TURKEY and we decided that we can “catch” a free network from the phone and “use it” as we do in Moscow in a cafe with free wi fi. ROAMING will "participate" in this? and the price will not ruin us, if it is still paid?

Crawling on the Internet via WiFi is similar to Moscow - you have experience. Roaming - it makes sense to speak only when using a SIM card, and when accessing via wifi, it is not used, respectively, and roaming has nothing to do with it. E65 nokia works fine (wife has one, tried it in Egypt). Check with the agency if there is free wifi in the hotel.

remove the SIM card from the phone so as not to accidentally mix up the networks and work. So for sure, roaming will have nothing to do with it. If the phone without a SIM card does not start, put some left one, any one, only to start the necessary phone functions.

What networks are free? a phone without a SIM card does not work, but with a SIM card from a Moscow megaphone, money will not be withdrawn?

don't worry, you won't enter the paid network, it will ask for a password to enter. The free network does not ask for a password, it is automatically entered. As for the SIM card, I'm sure that nothing will be removed, because you do not use the services of a mobile operator. After all, when you use bluetooth, money is not withdrawn, and Wi-Fi is almost the same. If you want, then to be sure, put a SIM card in your phone that has no money or is blocked. The phone will start, but in any case, no one will withdraw money, because. there is nothing to shoot.

In short, a new communication operator Damair Telekom has appeared in Antalya; it has WI-FI N coverage almost everywhere. There are also VoIP calls to Russia that are more Dishmanish. Here I am sitting high and not working everywhere, on the street, in the room, in the city and even on the beach. Price 30 Lira per week.

In Turkey, there is wi-fi almost everywhere, but the connection quality is not very good. Especially in crowded places, the speed of the Internet is slow. Your best bet is to rent a mobile hotspot from a company called rent 'n connect. You can be connected to the internet everywhere and it costs 5.99 euros per day. www.rentnconnect.com
