I think that before you transfer any money from one bank to another, you need to clarify with them exactly how much is going to cost you.

You can always make enquires from three-four banks, and finally choose the option that is best for you.

Transfering money from one country to another can indeed be tricky and expensive.

I do not think this is a fair question, because we are talking about a place with people living there, and we need to respect them.

We are not talking about a company or an object, but really about a country. So, we should really leave it up to the people who live there to decide what they believe is best for them, and what they want.

Many countries dispute various regions around the world, but at the end of the day, I personally believe that it should be up to these people to decide their own faith and future.

Always through civilised, peaceful means.

That's right Team GB, but what I was trying to say is that she has to call the UK number, with the UK prefix, and not the Turkish prefix.

If the phone is locked, yes you are also right that it will not take the sim card from another network.

Tracy5,

You need to know what sim card is in the phone in Turkey.

If it is a British mobile number, irrespective where the phone is, you need to dial up that number (0044).

However, if they have changed the sim card and now they have inserted one with a Turkish number, you need to find out what that phone number is, and add the Turkish prefix.

I hope this helps.

However, be careful, because both of you (if you both have a British number and both are abroad (Spain and Turkey)), will be charged a lot for making this phone call.
