What is the rate to call Turkey from the UK?

Sayfone charges 0.5¢ per minute for calls to Turkey from the United Kingdom, applied to both mobile and landline numbers. Billing is per minute, rounded to the nearest second, with transparent per-minute pricing or minimum duration.

Do I need to download an app or create an account?

No. Sayfone's browser-based dialer works directly in your web browser. No app download, no long account setup—just open the dialer, enter the number, and call.

How do I dial a Turkish phone number from the UK?

Include the country code (+90) followed by the area code and local number. For example: +90 212 555 1234 for Istanbul, or +90 501 234 5678 for a mobile. Do not include a leading zero from the area code when dialing internationally.

What is the time difference between the UK and Turkey?

Turkey is typically 2 hours ahead of the UK. During daylight saving transitions (which occur on different dates), the difference may vary for a short period. Always check current time before scheduling important calls.

Can I call both Turkish mobile and landline numbers?

Yes. Sayfone charges the same transparent rate (0.5¢/min) for calls to Turkish mobile phones and landlines, so you can reach either type of number at the same price.

What happens if the call drops?

You are only charged for the minutes completed. If a call drops, you will not be charged for the disconnected portion. Redial and retry the connection; you'll start a new call at the same transparent rate.
