I am not sure, but I surmise your dad will need a 9500 in order to function with Vodafone - which I am sure is a GSM carrier.
I concede that I am unaware of 9530's being configured to function in Europe. The 9500 uses a different OS, which I do know will not work if installed in your 9530.
Having researched foreign language font scripts for the Storm, I do know there are very few font scripts available for input capability in the Storm. So far I have only seen Arabic and Korean. The rest such as Hebrew allow for READ only.
My suggestion is to purchase your dad the 9500 model which allows for FULL input / text input ability in Turkey.
