I'm planning a trip to Turkey and I've just purchased an eSIM from eSIM TopUp. Should I install the eSIM before I leave or wait until I arrive in Turkey? Any advice on the best approach would be appreciated!

We recommend installing the eSIM before you fly. It will activate automatically upon arrival in Turkey, ensuring you're connected as soon as you land.

I installed mine before leaving for Turkey and everything went smoothly. It was nice having data ready right when I landed!

I waited until I landed to install the eSIM just to be sure everything was set up correctly. It worked out fine, but it took a few minutes longer to get connected.

Installing before your flight is particularly useful if you want to avoid any potential activation delays once you're in Turkey. Plus, you can troubleshoot any issues while still at home.

I installed it in advance and loved how it connected instantly upon landing. No stress about finding Wi-Fi to download or activate in the airport!

I usually install eSIMs in advance. It saves me the hassle of dealing with tech stuff when I'm jetlagged and just want to enjoy my trip.

From my experience, installing before leaving is a great option. That way, you’re ready to go from the moment you touch down.

I installed mine right before boarding my flight. Made sure everything was ready, and it worked perfectly when I landed in Turkey.
