Seem to have lost Turkcell - usually switch to it automatically from O2 - when I did a manual search it said "Registering" when I selected Turkcell, but then said connection to Turkcell was "forbidden". Does anyone know if this is something to do with the Turkish Government requiring mobiles to be registered? And if so, what can be done to reconnect? Perhaps I should just go to a Turkcell shop - but wondered if I was the only one with this problem?

Started happening to me last year with "3" network phone disappears for days on end the problem with "3" is it is only 3G

Set your phone on GSM/WCDMA It means that you get it periodically .

The network comes back every time you cross the mountain to Girni & Lefkosa

All the time my UK phone is not working my Telesim and wife's tuksel work

Very strange! Went to Girne, just about to seek help in a Turkcell shop and found the network had reappeared, with several days old texts....
