I'm traveling to Turkey soon and I'm wondering if I should install my eSIM before leaving or wait until I land. Will it activate automatically upon arrival, or are there any benefits to doing it beforehand?

We recommend installing the eSIM before your flight. It will activate automatically once you arrive in Turkey, making it hassle-free.

I always install as soon as I buy the eSIM. That way, I can just focus on my travel plans when I land.

I installed mine right after landing to make sure there were no connection issues beforehand. It worked just fine!

Installing beforehand ensures you won't have to rely on airport Wi-Fi to set it up, which can be spotty.

Pre-installing guarantees a smooth transition as your eSIM will connect to the network immediately upon your arrival.

I usually set it up at home just so I'm not stressed about tech stuff while trying to enjoy my trip.

I landed in Turkey and installed my eSIM there. It worked, but it took a little longer than I expected.

Having it set up before landing saved me a lot of time and headache. Plus, I could contact people as soon as I arrived.
