Northern Cyprus Mobile Phones to Work On Both Sides of the Island

Northern Cyprus Mobile Phones to Work On Both Sides of the IslandAccording to Bayrak television (27.05.19), Northern Cyprus mobile phones will be able to be used on both sides of the island by the end of June. This would mean the end of North Cyprus roaming charges when moving between the two sides of the island.

One of the main advantages will be for those with EU roaming which allows them to use their text, minutes and data allowance outside of their home country.

The issue was taken up this morning at a meeting presided over by Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci and with the participation of high level officials from the Kuzey Kıbrıs Turkcell, the Telsim Vodafone and the Information Technologies and Communication Authority.

Speaking to the BRT on the issue yesterday, the General Coordinator for Technical Committees, Meltem Onurkan Samani, said that “the legal problem for the use of mobile phones in the whole island was overcome”. Explaining that separate agreements will be signed and technical connections will be established in the coming days, she said they expected the mobile phones to operate on both sides of the island by the end of June.
