Im going to Adana this month and have a layover in istanbul where i will get my 90 day visa sticker. Ive read a bunch of horror stories online about about entry/exit at the airport. Naturally im a lil worried about the possibility of things not going so smooth. Is it really that difficult? how was your experience?

Any american expat willing to help me?

ok...i just read online somewhere that i shouldnt bring my cell phone with me..and if i do i need to make sure its registered and on my passport? anybody know anything about this? i just bought a new worldwide capable phone and set up international service specifically for this trip..and it would be a real bummer to have it confiscated (that's what i heard will happen if not registered)
