I'm traveling to Turkey soon and plan to use a travel eSIM from eSIM TopUp. Should I install the eSIM before leaving or wait until I arrive in Turkey? I'm concerned about activation and any potential issues with connectivity.

We recommend installing your eSIM before departing. Once you land in Turkey, it will automatically activate, ensuring you're connected right away.

I installed mine before flying to Turkey. It was seamless and I got connected immediately after landing without any hassle.

I waited until I arrived to install mine, just to be safe. It worked fine, but I had to find a Wi-Fi spot first which was a bit of a hassle.

Installing it before your flight helps you avoid any connectivity issues you might face upon arrival. This way, your device is ready to go as soon as you land.

I suggest installing it before you board your flight. It's less stressful, and in my experience, it activates perfectly once you're in the country.

I installed my eSIM after landing at the airport in Turkey. It took about 10 minutes to set up, but I was connected soon after.

Definitely do it before you leave. It saves time and you don’t have to worry about finding Wi-Fi when you land.

Installing before you travel is a smart move. I did it ahead of time and it activated right away as soon as I arrived in Turkey.
