After you buy prepaid line you should choose one of them. You can take help about activation from Turkcell extra shop or Turkcell customer care. Our telephone number is; 4440535

About your mobile phone's imei registration; when you buy prepaid line in Turkcell extra shop , they can help you about registration. They need your passport and your Turkcell line's agreement.

I also found this webpage about Vodafone:
Vodafone Mü?teri Hizmetleri - Mobil ?nternet Kendini A?an Tarife

Click on Kendini Aşan Tarife opsiyonunu almam durumunda nasıl ücretlendirilirim? for the mobile internet tariff.

It seems to be a progressive charge: for prepaid:
- 5TL for the first 5MB
- 5TL for the next 15MB
- 5TL for the next 30MB ... etc

(At least, that's how I interpret it, but I may have missed something.)
I live in Turkey and use the various systems available here.

I have vodaphone internet on my iPhone and it costs just 9 TL for a 1gb per month tariff (but this is on a company account),

I also have several Turkcell VINN modems. The Modem currently costs 99TL and 1gb per month approx 20TL and 4gb per month 29TL. This figure is increased if its used in an iPhone. I have no idea why other than the iPhone here is £650, so you must be able to afford it! These are PAYG prices. All thats needed is cash or CC and ID (a driving licence will do, but a passport is better. They will have you setup in 10 minutes
