Apple Inc. is really extending its arms to a wider market in order to sell millions of units all over the world. Aside from United States and Europe, they have also reached Asia, Africa, and other continents as well. Some countries have signed an exclusive deal with Apple Inc. so that they can they may be the sole carrier of the second-generation iPhone in their country. Unfortunately, there are some countries, like Turkey, whose distribution of the said device is not exclusive.

Earlier this year, Vodafone had announced that they will be carrying the 3G iPhone in Turkey. However, recent announcements made by its rival also said that they too will offer the second-generation iPhone in the country. Turkcell, one of the leading GSM providers based in Turkey said that Turkish may expect the 3G iPhone from them later this year. However, they haven’t mentioned an official date that the 3G iPhone will be released but it is very unlikely that Turkcell will be joining the second phase of the 3G iPhone roll out since the worldwide expansion will happen in August 22, few days from now.

Aside from that, Turkcell has not disclosed their subscription plans. They are expected to reveal those data plans probably before the iPhone will be shipped to them. They will now become the second carrier to distribute Apple Inc.’s iPhone in Turkey.
