Turkey is one of these markets where SS7 does not work properly and can be expensive. Vodafone is filtering on alphanumeric sender and local numbers in national and international format…and keep changing the rules of its filter! Turkcell filters across the board and has imposed a very high interworking fees on SS7.

But Turkey is market that can not be ignored! It is one of the fasted growing mobile markets in Europe with over 70m mobile phones.
