TL;DR
A local Turkish SIM or eSIM for 10 days is generally cheaper than international roaming. Turkish eSIMs open most websites, though access to some region-specific services may vary.
A local Turkish SIM for 10 days costs roughly 200–400 TRY depending on the operator and data package. Major providers include Turkcell, Vodafone TR, and Türk Telekom. eSIM is a convenient alternative if your phone supports it.
A Turkish eSIM (such as from Ozon Travel) generally allows access to banking websites and airline booking platforms. Most sites work fine, though some region-locked Russian services may be inconsistent.
An eSIM from a home-country carrier (like MTS for Russian travelers) lets you keep your number abroad, but roaming packages are usually more expensive than buying a local Turkish SIM on arrival. For budget-conscious travelers, a local SIM is the better deal.
