hello . i am planning on applying for admission to yasar university for spring semester 2013 in MBA. is the university really good? and which things you liked about university?
Hi Dustin, #38 Which carrier was this... $15 unlimited everthing including international? When I visit which has been quite often I usually have turkcell but have never seen this offer....Thanks
I believe it was a special promotion that they were having. I believe it was like an additional 10TL for unlimited data(Internet), but was never an issue given the number of cafes with wireless. If i ever needed the Internet that badly I would drop into a cafe, spend 1TL on a cay(tea) and carry on. Turkcell always had random campaigns. It started when I spent 30TL on a loading card and then I began getting better promotions. Hope this helps.
We'll miss you too Dusty
