Misleading Billing And Unclear Early Termination Fees At Turkcell

Around December 10, 2025, I became a Turkcell Superbox GO customer. During the sales process, everything was explained very positively, and I was told that my monthly bill would be approximately $38. It was specifically stated that my first bill would be issued on December 20, 2025. At that point, I clearly asked, “What will the amount of the first bill be?” The clear answer I received was: “You will only pay for what you use.”

However, when the bill was issued, the amount shown was $35. I later found out that there was an additional “initial payment / activation-type fee” of approximately $20 that was never mentioned to me at all during the sales process. There has been no clear explanation of what this fee is, why it was charged, or why it was not disclosed upfront.

The real frustration started after that. Because I was not satisfied with the service, I asked about the cancellation fee. The answer I received was: “About $233.” When I asked, “How is this amount calculated?” the response was: “We don’t know.” When I asked for a detailed breakdown, I was told: “There isn’t one.” When I asked for a clear amount with a clear justification, the answer was still: “No.”

In short, there was incomplete and misleading information during the sales process, surprise charges on the first bill, zero transparency regarding the cancellation fee, and customer service representatives who seemed completely uninformed. It is unacceptable for such a large telecom operator to respond to its customers with phrases like “approximately,” “we don’t know,” and “there is no detail.”

To summarize:

Important fees are hidden during the sales process.

Surprise charges appear on the first bill.

The cancellation fee is extremely high, yet no one can explain how it is calculated.

I definitely do not recommend this service. I am sharing my experience so that others do not go through the same situation. If this is how the service is delivered, this is not customer satisfaction—it is customer victimization.
