Where to buy a phone in instalments in Turkey

01Where can you buy a phone in instalments?

Three routes stand out. Which one suits you depends on your card, your budget and the contract terms.

Used phones are mostly sold for a one-off payment. For a checklist when buying used, see buying and selling used phones in Kadıköy.

02Check before you buy

1. IMEI registration. Check the IMEI on e-Devlet (Turkey’s e-government portal); the number on the box and on the phone should match.
2. Invoice. The invoice should be in your name; keep it for the warranty.
3. Total cost. Put the instalment total next to the one-off price.
4. Contract. If you buy from an operator, read the commitment period and the exit fee.

03Repair or sell instead of buying new

If the problem is in a single part such as the screen, battery or charging port, a repair often needs a smaller budget than a new phone. Diagnosis is free; repair options are explained and nothing is done without your approval. If you decide to upgrade, selling your old phone helps the budget. Cep Market, Teknoway and Telefon Sat are the same company; you can get an offer for your phone from Telefon Sat. For broken phones, see where to sell a phone with a cracked screen.

04How do you pay at Cep Market?

Repairs are paid in the store, by credit card through mail order, or by bank transfer (havale / EFT). Details are in our phone repair payment options guide.
