Your phone was probably blocked because it was purchased outside Turkey and used with a Turkish SIM card for more than 120 days without being registered. Turkey records mobile devices through their unique IMEI numbers. A foreign phone can normally connect to Turkish mobile networks for up to 120 days without registration. After that, its IMEI is blocked from Turkish cellular networks.
