Turkey ofc. Operators are not state owned. Basically, if your devices IMEI number is not registered in countries records, operators are banning it after some period. If you want to register your IMEI, you have to pay that tax.

That's very vile of them 😡
I can't think of how tourists or immigrants use their phones if that's the case...

If you are a tourist, you won't have a problem. I guess you can use your phone without registering it for 120 days or so. 99% of the tourists are leaving before 120 days. This is not affecting them. Sana da merhaba komşu, greetings from Turkey. 😄🙋🏻
