Hello, can you hear me?

I have traveled to enough countries to compare them, if not the whole world, then at least Turkey.

Turkey has covered quite a distance in recent years.

Highways, bridges, dams, railways, and other infrastructure investments have clarified our path toward civilization.

Our economic data has approached that of G8 countries.

In fact, the punctuality of train and flight departure times has reached a point that would make G8 countries jealous.

However, something happened in recent years and we hit a wall.

We have become ashamed of comparing data, as no one has been able to take the record for phone registration fees away from us.

While the IMEI registration fee for mobile phones brought from abroad for personal use was 500 TL in November 2018,

it was 1,838.70 TL in 2020.

2,006.20 TL in 2021.

6,091.30 TL in 2023.

20,000 TL in July 2023.

31,692 TL in 2024.

It reached 45,614.20 TL in 2025.

And it became 54,258 TL in 2026.

The nine-year increase rate is 10,751%.

May God grant us a good outcome.
