Network and data
StayinWifi devices run on Turkcell's 4G/5G network and work in cities, resorts and on the road across Turkey. Data is unlimited. The service covers the everyday needs of a trip for you and your companions, such as navigation, WhatsApp, email, video calls and social media, and is not intended as a replacement for home internet. The device works only inside Turkey.
Because your phone simply joins a WiFi network, your own SIM stays in place and your number keeps working for calls and messages.
The device
Setup takes seconds: switch the device on, enter the WiFi password shown on its screen and start browsing. Any WiFi device can connect, including smartphones, tablets and laptops, with up to 6 connected at the same time. If you change phones during the trip, just connect the new one. The battery lasts 8–10 hours on average, and the power bank in the box keeps you going on long days. Larger groups can book more than one device.
Pick-up and return points
- Istanbul Airport (IST): 24/7 pick-up and return.
- Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW): 24/7 pick-up and return.
- Trabzon Airport: 24/7 pick-up and return.
- Hotel, residence or Airbnb: delivery to your accommodation.
- Elsewhere in Turkey: shipping to your address, when offered on the booking form.
The return point can differ from the pick-up point. At the airports, return the device before passport control, together with the power bank, cable and adapter. Fees for lost or unreturned items are listed in the FAQ.
Booking, payment and extension
You book online: choose your pick-up point, your dates and the number of devices. Prices are shown before you pay, with no hidden fees, and rentals can be daily, weekly or monthly, with a discount for longer rentals. Payment is by credit or debit card with 3D Secure. If you need more days, you can extend the rental online, and our support team answers 24/7 on WhatsApp, weekends included.

Rent n Connect pocket WiFi or StayinWifi: questions about your arrival
If you are weighing up Rent n Connect pocket WiFi against StayinWifi, look closely at the first and last hours of your trip. A device that can only be collected during office hours is little help if you land in the middle of the night, so ask each provider for the exact pick-up points and their opening hours. StayinWifi's airport points at IST, SAW and Trabzon are open 24/7.
Also ask whether you must return the device where you collected it, what happens if an accessory goes missing, and how quickly support answers from abroad. With StayinWifi you choose the return point separately, support answers 24/7 on WhatsApp, and our website is available in 10 languages. We do not describe other providers' networks, prices or service here: check their current terms with them directly.
