A UK simcard in Turkey or any other country will get charged extra for calls, texts and data outside of the country it was purchased.
You will need to unlock the iphone if its carrier locked to use any sim you want.

i have 4.0.2 is that ok and i was going to use limerain is that ok

i also have iphone 4 with 4.02 is that poss to use limerain aswell
 
Lol, I love your thread title! No, I can't help you with your 3gs or your turkey

Lol :D
I thought it had something to do with Thanksgiving too:D

i have 4.0.2 is that ok and i was going to use limerain is that ok

i also have iphone 4 with 4.02 is that poss to use limerain aswell

Yes, you can limerain on both and then install ultrasnow from cydia to unlock.
Good luck.
 
thanks done it on iphone 4 is there anything i should do now like connect to itunes?
 
Nothing else that needs to be done.
Just make sure when itunes asks you if you want to update to the latest 4.1 firmware you click no.
If you update to official 4.1 or the 4.2 that will come out soon you will lose your unlock.
