Install eSIM before or after landing in Turkey?

Question

I'm traveling to Turkey soon and have purchased an eSIM from GotoeSIM. Should I install it before departing or wait until I've landed in Turkey? I'm unsure which option is better for ensuring seamless connectivity.

We recommend installing the eSIM before you depart. This way, your data plan will activate automatically upon your arrival in Turkey, allowing you to connect to the local network without any hassle.

I installed my eSIM while I was still at home before flying. It worked perfectly when I landed, and I didn't have to worry about finding a SIM card store in Turkey.

Installing the eSIM before you leave ensures everything is set up correctly. You'll have peace of mind knowing you're ready to connect as soon as you arrive.

I waited to install mine until I was in the airport in Turkey. It was fine, but it took a bit of time and I had to find Wi-Fi first. Installing beforehand might save you a step.

Doing it ahead of time is the way to go. Just make sure to follow the setup instructions properly. Mine worked instantly once I landed.

I prefer setting it up early. Once you land, you can immediately start using maps or calling a ride without delays.

Alex Q. · Answer

I actually installed it right after landing and wished I had done it before. Took a little longer than expected because I wasn't familiar with the process.

Definitely before departure! It's one less thing to worry about in a new country, and you can start using data the minute you arrive.
